This paper addresses the detection of a low rank high-dimensional tensor corrupted by an additive complex Gaussian noise. In the asymptotic regime where all the dimensions of the tensor converge towards $+\infty$ at the same rate, existing results devoted to rank 1 tensors are extended. It is proved that if a certain parameter depending explicitly on the low rank tensor is below a threshold, then the null hypothesis and the presence of the low rank tensor are undistinguishable hypotheses in… Expand

The replica prediction from statistical physics is conjectured to give the exact information-theoretic threshold for any fixed $d$, and a new improvement to the second moment method for contiguity is introduced, on which the lower bounds are based. Expand

It turns out that the Principal Component Analysis problem for large tensors of arbitrary order $k$ under a single-spike (or rank-one plus noise) model is possible as soon as the signal-to-noise ratio $\beta$ becomes larger than $C\sqrt{k\log k}$ (and in particular $\beta can remain bounded as the problem dimensions increase).
