The annealed contrast in printed form #
The reference text writes the annealed contrast Θ_m of e.Theta.m
as a minimum over skew matrices h of the conjugated norms
|σ_bar_*^{-1/2} (σ_bar + (k_bar - h)ᵗ σ_bar_*⁻¹ (k_bar - h)) σ_bar_*^{-1/2}|,
the Schur data being that of the annealed block 𝐀_bar(□_m). The encoding
annealedContrast is instead the Loewner-scaling infimum, and the identification
of the two is available on symmetric positive definite doubled blocks.
This file supplies the symmetry half of that hypothesis at the annealed block —
unconditionally, since the sample response is symmetric at every field and the
annealed block is its entrywise expectation — and then assembles the printed
form of Θ_m and of the reference aspect ratio Π under
e.coarse.ellipticity alone: positive definiteness of the annealed block is
a consequence of that assumption, and positive definiteness of the reference
block is one of its fields.
The annealed block is a symmetric doubled matrix, at every law and every cell. Symmetry of the sample response is pointwise in the field, and the annealed block is the entrywise expectation, so no integrability is needed.
The annealed contrast in printed form. On a positive definite annealed
block, Θ_m is the infimum over skew h of the conjugated norms
|σ_bar_*^{-1/2} (σ_bar + (k_bar - h)ᵗ σ_bar_*⁻¹ (k_bar - h)) σ_bar_*^{-1/2}|
of e.Theta.m, the conjugating matrix being the positive
semidefinite square root of the lower-right block σ_bar_*⁻¹.
The printed objects of the frozen conclusion #
Under e.coarse.ellipticity the annealed block is positive definite at
every scale, so Θ_m is the infimum of the printed family with no further
hypothesis.
Θ_m is exactly the printed object. Under e.coarse.ellipticity
the annealed contrast of the frozen conclusion is the least value of
|σ_bar_*^{-1/2} (σ_bar + (k_bar - h)ᵗ σ_bar_*⁻¹ (k_bar - h)) σ_bar_*^{-1/2}|
over the skew matrices, the bars being the spectral norm: the minimum written at
e.Theta.m, attained, with no infimum reading left over.
Λ_0 is exactly the printed object under e.coarse.ellipticity: the
reference block of the assumption is symmetric and positive definite, which is
all the printed minimum needs.
Π is exactly the printed aspect ratio under e.coarse.ellipticity:
the quotient Λ_0 / λ_0 of e.reference.aspect.ratio, the numerator a minimum of
spectral norms realized at a skew matrix.
