On the Pseudo-Mixing of Kac's Walk

Motivated by a conjecture of Vaikuntanathan and Zamir, we study the pseudo-mixing of Kac's walk on $\mathrm{SO}(n)$: whether short trajectories are indistinguishable from Haar measure by low-complexity tests. We prove that the first $k$ columns mix in Wasserstein distance in $O(n(k+\log n)\log n)$ steps for fixed accur...
