Cluster robustness conjecture for randomized small-block Lanczos

From papers

Let Λ1,,ΛdRb×b\Lambda_{1},\dotsc,\Lambda_{d}\in\mathbb{R}^{b\times b} be real diagonal matrices, and assume that Λi\Lambda_i and Λj\Lambda_j have disjoint spectra for 1i<jd1\leq i<j\leq d. Let [Ω1,,Ωd][\Omega_1,\dotsc,\Omega_d] be a Gaussian random matrix with ΩiRb×b\Omega_i\in\mathbb{R}^{b\times b}. The quantities χmono\chi_{\mathsf{mono}} and χcoef\chi_{\mathsf{coef}}, defined in the paper, measure the relevant polynomial-growth and coefficient effects in the cluster-robustness bound. Cluster robustness conjecture. With high probability, the product χmonoχcoef\chi_{\mathsf{mono}}\chi_{\mathsf{coef}} is bounded by a constant depending only on bb and dd, independently of the matrices Λi\Lambda_i for 1id1\leq i\leq d. This would make the spectral-gap dependence in the cluster-robustness estimate uniform over the diagonal blocks, beyond the currently established upper bound.
