Elementary determinant bounds #
The archimedean Gram determinant estimate is the one used in CCDN §3.3. The row-factor divisibility lemma isolates a basic arithmetic input to determinant lower bounds; it does not assert the much stronger local multiplicity estimates of CCDN §2.

Archimedean Gram determinant bound: if A is the real evaluation matrix of N monomials of
degree at most M at s integer points in the box of radius B ≥ 1, then |det (A Aᵀ)| ≤ s! · (N · B ^ (2 M)) ^ s.
