Recently Freed and Hopkins [11] proved that there is no parity anomaly in M-theory on pin+ manifolds in the low-energy field theory approximation, and they also developed an algebraic theory of cubic forms. Earlier Witten [33] proved the anomaly cancellation for spin manifolds by introducing the E8-bundle technique. Motivated by the cubic forms and the anomaly cancellation formulas of Witten-Freed-Hopkins, we give some new cubic forms on spin, spinc, spinω2 and orientable 12- manifolds respectively. We relate them to η-invariants when the manifolds are with boundary, and mod 2 indices on 10 dimensional characteristic submanifolds when the manifolds are spinc or spinω2 . Our method of producing these cubic forms is a combination of (generalized) Witten classes and the character of the basic representation of affine E8.

We use entangled multimode coherent states to produce entangled giant graviton states, in the context of gauge/gravity duality. We make a smeared distribution of the entangled multimode coherent states on the circle, or on the five-sphere, in the higher dimensional view. In gauge/gravity duality, we analyze the superposition of giant graviton states, and the entangled pairs of giant graviton states. We map a class of angular distribution functions to unitary operations on the pairs. We also use Young tableau states to construct cat states and qudit states. Various bipartite quantum states involving Young tableau states are analyzed, including micro-macro entangled states. Mixed states of Young tableau states are generated, by using ensemble mixing using angular distribution functions, and also by going through noisy quantum channels. We then produce mixed entangled pair of giant graviton states, by including interaction with the environment and using noisy quantum channels.

In 1975, P. Erd\H os proposed the problem of determining the maximum number $f(n)$ of edges in a graph on $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. Let $f^{\ast}(n)$ be the maximum number of edges in a simple graph on $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths. Let $M_n$ be the set of simple graphs on $n$ vertices in which any two cycles are of different lengths and with the edges of $f^{\ast}(n)$. Let $mc(n)$ be the maximum cycle length for all $G \in M_n$. In this paper, it is proved that for $n$ sufficiently large, $mc(n)\leq \frac{15}{16}n.$ \par We make the following conjecture: \par \bigskip \noindent{\bf Conjecture.} $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} {mc(n)\over n}= 0.$$

In this paper, we prove a CLT for the sample canonical correlation coefficients between two high-dimensional random vectors with finite rank correlations. More precisely, consider two random vectors $\wt{\bx}=\mathbf x + A \mathbf z $ and $\wt{\by}=\mathbf y + B \mathbf z $, where $\mathbf x \in \R^p$, $\mathbf y \in \R^q$ and $\mathbf z\in \R^r$ are independent random vectors with i.i.d.\;entries of mean zero and variance one, and $A \in \R^{p\times r}$ and $B\in \R^{q\times r}$ are two arbitrary deterministic matrices. Given $n$ samples of $\wt{\bx}$ and $\wt{\by}$, we stack them into two matrices $\cal X= X+AZ$ and $\cal Y= Y+BZ$, where $X\in \R^{p\times n}$, $Y\in \R^{q\times n}$ and $Z\in \R^{r\times n}$ are random matrices with i.i.d.\;entries of mean zero and variance one. Let $\wt\lambda_1 \ge \wt\lambda_2\ge \cdots \ge \wt\lambda_{r}$ be the largest $r$ eigenvalues of the sample canonical correlation (SCC) matrix $\cal C_{\cal X\cal Y}=(\cal X\cal X^\top)^{-1/2}\cal X\cal Y^\top (\cal Y\cal Y^\top)^{-1}\cal Y \cal X^\top (\cal X\cal X^\top)^{-1/2}$, and let $t_1\ge t_2 \ge \cdots\ge t_r$ be the squares of the population canonical correlation coefficients between $\wt{\bx}$ and $\wt{\by}$. Under certain moment assumptions, we show that there exists a threshold $t_c \in(0, 1)$ such that if $t_i>t_c$, then \smash{$\sqrt{n} (\wt\lambda_i-\theta_i)$} converges weakly to a centered normal distribution, where $\theta_i $ is a fixed outlier location determined by $t_i$. Our proof uses a self-adjoint linearization of the SCC matrix and a sharp local law on the inverse of the linearized matrix.

Consider two random vectors $\wt{\bx} \in \R^p$ and $\wt{\by} \in \mathbb R^q$ of the forms $\wt{\bx}=A \mathbf z + \bC_1^{1/2}\mathbf x $ and $\wt{\by}=B \mathbf z + \bC_2^{1/2}\mathbf y $, where $\mathbf x \in \R^p$, $\mathbf y \in \R^q$ and $\mathbf z\in \R^r$ are independent random vectors with i.i.d. entries of zero mean and unit variance, $\bC_1$ and $\bC_2$ are $p \times p$ and $q\times q$ deterministic population covariance matrices, and $A$ and $B$ are $p \times r$ and $q\times r$ deterministic factor loading matrices. With $n$ independent observations of $(\wt{\mathbf x},\wt{\mathbf y})$, we study the sample canonical correlations between $\wt{\bx} $ and $\wt{\by}$. We consider the high-dimensional setting with finite rank correlations, that is, ${p}/{n}\to c_1$ and ${q}/{n}\to c_2$ as $n\to \infty$ for some constants $c_1\in (0,1)$ and $c_2\in (0,1-c_1)$, and $r$ is a fixed integer. Let $t_1\ge t_2 \ge \cdots\ge t_r\ge 0$ be the squares of the nontrivial population canonical correlation coefficients between $\wt {\bx}$ and $\wt{\by}$, and let $\wt\lambda_1 \ge \wt\lambda_2\ge \cdots \ge \wt\lambda_{p\wedge q}\ge 0$ be the squares of the sample canonical correlation coefficients. If the entries of $\mathbf x$, $\mathbf y$ and $\mathbf z$ are i.i.d. Gaussian, then the following dichotomy has been shown in \cite{CCA} for a fixed threshold $t_c \in(0, 1)$: for any $1\le i \le r$, if $t_i < t_c$, then $\wt\lambda_i$ converges to the right-edge $\lambda_+$ of the limiting eigenvalue spectrum of the sample canonical correlation matrix, and moreover, $n^{2/3}(\wt\lambda_i-\lambda_+)$ converges weakly to the Tracy-Widom law; if $t_i>t_c$, then $\wt\lambda_i$ converges to a deterministic limit $\theta_i \in (\lambda_+, 1)$ that is determined by $c_1$, $c_2$ and $t_i$. In this paper, we prove that these results hold universally under the sharp fourth moment conditions on the entries of $\mathbf x$, $\mathbf y$ and $\mathbf z$. Moreover, we prove the results in full generality, in the sense that they also hold for near-degenerate $t_i$'s and for $t_i$'s that are close to the threshold $t_c$. Finally, we also provide almost sharp convergence rates for the sample canonical correlation coefficients under a general $a$-th moment assumption.
