Schur data of a positive doubled block #
Every positive 2d-by-2d block has a unique factorization
H = G_{-k}^t diag(s, s_*^{-1}) G_{-k} with s, s_* > 0, the triple
(s, s_*, k) being its Schur data (e.annealed.schur). Existence and
uniqueness are read off the blocks: positivity gives s_*^{-1} = H_{22} > 0,
then k = -H_{22}^{-1}H_{21} and s = H_{11} - H_{12}H_{22}^{-1}H_{21} > 0.
The last clause of the canonical balance needs one more fact, also proved
here: the sharp involution acts on Schur data by (s, s_*, k) ↦ (s_*, s, -k^t).
On a self-dual block this forces s = s_* and k skew, which is the canonical
factorization.
The Schur form G_{-k}^t diag(s, s_*^{-1}) G_{-k} of
e.annealed.schur.

Diagonal blocks of a positive block #
The upper-left block of a positive definite doubled block is positive definite.
The lower-right block of a positive definite doubled block is positive definite.
The off-diagonal blocks of a Hermitian doubled block are adjoint.
Passing to the upper-left block is monotone for the Loewner order.
Passing to the lower-right block is monotone for the Loewner order. This is the reference text's step "taking the lower-right principal blocks".
Existence and uniqueness of the Schur data #
Positivity of the Schur form.
Uniqueness of the Schur data (e.annealed.schur).
The upper Schur block of a positive Schur form is positive definite. The
quadratic form of schurBlock s s_* k at the sheared state (x, k x) is the
quadratic form of s at x.
Existence of the Schur data (e.annealed.schur).
The Schur data of the sharp. Inverting the Schur form shows that H^♯
has Schur data (s_*, s, -k^t).
