Harmonic means and the sharp involution #
Conjugation by the doubled-block reflection turns the inverse of a sharp matrix back into the original matrix. Consequently, the harmonic mean of a finite family of sharp matrices is exactly the sharp of the arithmetic mean of the original family. Combining this identity with order reversal gives the lower comparison used in the quadratic fluctuation estimate.
The harmonic mean of a finite family of sharp matrices is the sharp of the arithmetic mean of the original matrices.
If a positive definite parent lies below the arithmetic mean of its children, then the harmonic mean of the children’s sharps lies below the sharp of the parent.
The arithmetic mean of the children’s sharps, minus the parent sharp, is bounded by the average quadratic fluctuation around any symmetric centre.
Finset-indexed form of the sharp arithmetic-harmonic gap. This avoids an enumeration choice when the children are supplied by an aligned subdivision.
