Blind group selection consistency conjecture

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let G\mathcal{G} be a library of candidate groups, let x\mathbf{x} be a single observation, let ψ(G,x)\psi(G,\mathbf{x}) be the spectral concentration criterion, and let δ(G,R)\delta(G,\mathbf{R}) be the sample commutativity residual for population covariance R\mathbf{R}. Define the optimal group by

G∗=arg⁡min⁡G∈Gδ(G,R).G^*=\arg\min_{G\in\mathcal{G}}\delta(G,\mathbf{R}).

Blind group selection consistency conjecture. The spectral-concentration selector is consistent at high signal-to-noise ratio:

Pr⁡ ⁣[arg⁡max⁡G∈Gψ(G,x)=G∗]→1as SNR⁡→∞.\Pr\!\left[\arg\max_{G\in\mathcal{G}}\psi(G,\mathbf{x})=G^*\right]\to 1\quad\text{as }\operatorname{SNR}\to\infty.

This would provide a blind, single-snapshot method for selecting the group whose action best matches the covariance, without knowing R\mathbf{R}. The supplied text gives no evidence that the claim has been proved or disproved.
