Eigen-Spike Emergence and Quadratic Equivalents for Conjugate Kernels on Nonlinearly Separable Data

arXiv:2605.29669v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Recent work in random matrix theory (RMT) has developed the notion of deterministic equivalents: typically linear surrogate models that approximate the spectral behavior of large nonlinear random matrices, such as nonlinear feature maps in neural networks (NNs). On the one hand, these deterministic equivalents make theoretical predictions tractable by reducing a complex model to a simpler model with properties that fall under the umbrella of classical RMT tools. However, this leaves open the question of whether this idealized linear equivalence
