The reference aspect ratio of e.coarse.ellipticity is at least one #
The reference block E of the coarse ellipticity assumption dominates the coarse
response of every standard aligned cube, with a discount factor 3^{g(m-k)}
that is one at the scale of the cube itself. So E dominates the coarse
response of a centered triadic cube at some field of the coefficient space,
provided one such field is reachable — which is exactly what a probability law
supplies, since the assumption's bound holds almost surely and the source scale
S is finite at every field.
The Schur blocks of a realized coarse response are ordered, so its aspect ratio
is at least one; the aspect ratio is monotone; hence 1 ≤ Π(E). This is the
lower bound Θ ≥ 1 the reference text uses, obtained without assuming the
ordering of the reference block itself.
The hypothesis that the law is a probability measure is not cosmetic: at the
zero measure the assumption is satisfied by a reference block with Π = 1/4,
because nothing is then reachable.
The trivial dilation of a doubled block matrix.
The assumption is undiscounted at the scale of the cube. Taking the
standard aligned cube to be the centered cube itself makes the discount factor
3^{g(m-k)} equal to one, so e.coarse.ellipticity bounds the coarse
response of □_m by the reference block.
The reference aspect ratio is at least one. Under
e.coarse.ellipticity at a probability law, the reference block dominates
the coarse response of a centered triadic cube at some field of the coefficient
space; that response has ordered Schur blocks, hence aspect ratio at least one,
and the aspect ratio is monotone.
