Joint tracial moment conjecture for the limiting spectral distribution of data-matrix commutators
Let and be the covariance matrices, and let be their joint limiting spectral distribution. For any and every selection of non-negative integers and , consider the alternating joint tracial moments of and . Joint tracial moment conjecture. Suppose that
In other words, the joint tracial moments converge to quantities determined by the joint limiting spectral distribution of . Then the conclusion of the paper's main theorem on the limiting spectral distribution holds. This is proposed as a sufficient condition for the main result to remain valid without the commutativity assumption.
