Outage Probability Conjecture for MISO channels

Let

D(t):={QCt×tQ0,tr(Q)1}\mathcal{D}(t):=\{ {\mathbf{Q}}\in\mathbb{C}^{t\times t}\mid {\mathbf{Q}}\geq 0,\operatorname{tr}({\mathbf{Q}})\leq 1\}

and let (Hi)1it(H_i)_{1\leq i\leq t} be independent and identically distributed as NC(0,1)\mathcal{N}_{\mathbb{C}}(0,1). Write H=(H1,,Ht){\mathbf{H}}=(H_1,\dots,H_t) and let U(t)\mathcal{U}(t) denote the group of t×tt\times t unitary matrices. For every xR+x\in\mathbb{R}_+, there exists k{1,,t}k\in\{1,\dots,t\} such that

Outage Probability Conjecture for MISO.

argminQD(t)P{HQHx}={Udiag(1k,,1kk,0,,0tk)U:UU(t)}.\operatorname*{\arg\,\min}_{{\mathbf{Q}}\in\mathcal{D}(t)}\mathbb{P}\{{\mathbf{H}}{\mathbf{Q}}{\mathbf{H}}^*\leq x\} =\left\{ {\mathbf{U}}\operatorname{diag}\left(\underbrace{\frac{1}{k},\dots,\frac{1}{k}}_{k},\underbrace{0,\dots,0}_{t-k}\right){\mathbf{U}}^*: {\mathbf{U}}\in\mathcal{U}(t)\right\}.

The source states that this MISO case was proved by Abbe et al.; consequently this is a solved special case of the general outage probability conjecture.
