Gaussian distribution propoprties

pr flag

Good day,

I've a question regarding Gaussian distribution properties over lattices :

Let $\mathcal{L}$ := $ \mathcal{L}(\,b_{1}$,..., $b_{m})$ be a lattice over $\mathbb{R}^{n}$, and $W$ = span($b_{1}$,..,$b_{m}$)$^{\perp}$. define $\pi_{W}$ to be the orthogonal projection onto $W$.

If i sample a vector b from a Gaussian distribution of support $\mathcal{L}$, standard deviation parameter $s$ and center parameter $c \in$ span($\mathcal{L}$).

Can i pretend that $\pi_{W}(\,b)\,$ can be sampled from a Gaussian distribution of support $\pi_{W}(\,\mathcal{L})\,$, standard deviation parameter $s$ and center parameter $\pi_{W}(\,c)\,$?

Thanks

Am I missing something? Surely $\pi_W(b)$ is the zero vector?

Certainly it is. but, what i was trying to say that i didn't expressed very well- and I'm really sorry about it-; is how the Gaussian distribution handle linear transformation such as orthogonal projections.

As Daniel's comment mentions, the answer to your question appears to be "no, for trivial reasons" (plausibly due to some typo in your question).

Still, any question of this form has a relatively straightforward answer --- namely to look into Improved Discrete Gaussian and Subgaussian Analysis for Lattice Cryptography. In particular, section 3 discusses how Gaussians on lattices transform under linear transformations (including projections), and seems to be what you are interested in.

Thank you @Mark. I think i have an answer.)
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
