The paper investigates how to distinguish and recover a sparse rank‑one signal in a spiked Wigner model where both the signal and the noise are independently sparse. It introduces a leave‑one‑out quadratic thresholding method that identifies the signal support for sub‑Gaussian noise and bounded spikes, and shows that sign synchronization and spectral refinement can achieve exact or strong recovery for Rademacher spikes. The work also extends to sub‑Gaussian spike priors, provides an explicit trade‑off between signal sparsity, noise sparsity, and computational cost, and establishes recoverability conditions that do not rely on moment assumptions for continuous noise.

The paper tackles two key gaps in streaming PCA using Oja's algorithm: it establishes sharp operator‑norm convergence for general‑rank subspaces under sub‑Gaussian data, and it provides distributional inference for the resulting subspace estimator. The authors remove non‑vanishing remainder terms from existing analyses, achieving rates that match minimax bounds in both dense‑tail and sparse‑tail regimes. They further develop a linearization of Oja’s iterates, enabling high‑dimensional Gaussian approximations and an online multiplier bootstrap for practical inference.
