Abstract: The O(d) synchronization problem consists of estimating a set of n unknown orthogonal d x d matrices O-1,..., O-n from noisy measurements of a subset of the pairwise ratios OiOj-1. We formulate and prove a Cheeger-type inequality that relates a measure of how well it is possible to solve the O(d) synchronization problem with the spectra of an operator, the graph connection Laplacian. We also show how this inequality provides a worst-case performance guarantee for a spectral method to solve this problem.
