From DPPs to $k$-DPPs: identifiability analysis via spectral decomposition

We study the geometry of determinantal point processes (DPPs) through the spectral decomposition $L=UΛU^{\top}$. The spectrum $Λ$ governs the cardinality distribution via elementary symmetric polynomials, while the eigenspace orientation $U$ governs the conditional law within each fixed-cardinality stratum. Conditioning on cardinality $k$ yields the $k$-DPP, for which the identifiability structure changes fundamentally: the spectral parameter becomes identifiable only up to a common scale, and the eigenspace rotation parameter is identifiable only through squared minors of the eigenvector matrix. We characterize the identifiability gap precisely, via three explicit invariances (scale, sig...
