High-Dimensional Procrustes Matching via Tree Counts

arXiv:2607.08538v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Suppose we observe two sets of $n$ Gaussian vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$, with the promise that, after applying a permutation of $[n]$ and a rotation of $\mathbb{R}^d$, the two sets are $\rho$-correlated. The Procrustes matching problem asks us to recover the unknown permutation of $[n]$ that aligns the two sets. The problem is well-studied in the low-dimensional regime $d=O(\log n)$, but the high-dimensional regime $d\gg \log n$ has remained largely uncharted: prior matching guarantees require nearly perfect correlation $\rho=1-o(1)$, even for in
