The variational identities in block form #
The weak-norm estimate for the optimizer state reads the Chapter 2 variational
layer through a handful of displayed identities, all written on the
doubled block state X(V) = (∇v, a∇v) of the maximizer and on the coarse block
𝐀(V;a). This file transcribes them.
- the self-duality of the diagonal metric
M_0 = diag(m_0, m_0^{-1}):R M_0 R = M_0^{-1}, read here both multiplicatively and on the quadratic form, which is the only way the proof uses it. - the average of the optimizer state,
(X(V))_V = (R𝐀(V;a) + I_{2d})Pof [Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.32)] in the normalization used by the paper, together with its difference form. - the exact identity behind the comparison of the optimizer averages of two cells.
- the energy identity for the optimizer,
J(V,p,q;a) = ½‖σ^{1/2}∇v‖²_{L_underlined²(V)}of [Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.30)], and - the pointwise energy of the optimizer state, the substitution
X_t·𝐀X_t = 2∇v_t·σ∇v_tinto the block of [Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.8)], with its averaged form‖𝐀^{1/2}X_t‖²_{L_underlined²} = 2ℰ_t², and - the expansion of the response functional around its maximizer, the per-cell half of the exact factor-two response identity.
Everything is proved on an arbitrary Chapter 2 domain, which is where the
Chapter 2 layer states it, and then specialized to the parent cell U_t = q□_t
and to an aligned cell U_k(z) = z + q□_k through the bridge of
HCPoly.Provider.Response.DomainBridge.
Elementary block arithmetic used by the identities #
The swap matrix R of s.scale.selection exchanges the two slots of a
doubled vector.
The block reflection A ↦ RAR of the ambient layer exchanges the two
diagonal entries of a block diagonal matrix.
Block diagonal matrices multiply entrywise.
The doubled matrix-vector product is additive in the matrix, in the
difference form the defect 𝐀(V) - 𝐀(W) is written in.
The quadratic form of a block reflection is the quadratic form of the
original at the reflected vector: X·(RAR)X = (RX)·A(RX).
The self-dual diagonal metric #
R M_0 R = M_0^{-1}, multiplicative form. The diagonal metric
M_0 = diag(m_0, m_0^{-1}) and its block reflection are inverse to one
another.
R M_0 R = M_0^{-1}: the inverse of the diagonal metric is its block
reflection.
M_0^{1/2} = R M_0^{-1/2} R on the quadratic form, which is the only
reading the weak-norm estimate uses:
|M_0^{1/2}(RZ)|² = |M_0^{-1/2}Z|², the right side being the quadratic form of
M_0^{-1} = R M_0 R.
The optimizer average #
The average identity (X(V))_V = (R𝐀(V;a) + I_{2d})P
([Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.32)]).
Here X(V) = (∇v, a∇v) is the doubled state of the response maximizer, P is
the load vector (-p, q), and the right side is written as R(𝐀P) + P because
R acts by exchanging the two slots.
The difference of two optimizer averages: subtracting two instances of
the average identity at the same load leaves R applied to the block defect.
The exact comparison identity for the optimizer averages of two cells:
|M_0^{1/2}((X(V))_V - (X(W))_W)|² = P·(𝐀(V) - 𝐀(W))M_0^{-1}(𝐀(V) - 𝐀(W))P,
the right side being read through the self-duality M_0^{-1} = R M_0 R.
The two energy identities #
The maximizer energy identity ([Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.30)]):
J(V,p,q;a) = ½‖σ^{1/2}∇v(·,V,p,q;a)‖²_{L_underlined²(V)}, the norm being the normalized
one and variationEnergyValue being its square.
The pointwise block energy of a gradient-flux pair, at a single point where
the symmetric part of the coefficient is invertible: substituting
X = (ξ, Aξ) into the pointwise block of [Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.8)] gives 2ξ·σξ. This
is the algebraic core of the pointwise energy of the optimizer state.
The pointwise energy substitution, the first of the two pointwise energy
identities:
X_t·𝐀X_t = 2∇v_t·σ∇v_t almost everywhere on the domain, for the doubled state
X_t = (∇v_t, a∇v_t) of any field g and the pointwise block of
[Armstrong–Kuusi, (2.8)].
The averaged energy identity, the second of the two pointwise energy
identities:
‖𝐀^{1/2}X_t‖²_{L_underlined²(U_t)} = 2ℰ_t², with ℰ_t² = ‖σ^{1/2}∇v_t‖²_{L_underlined²(U_t)} the
variationEnergyValue of the maximizer.
The expansion of the response functional around its maximizer, in block
form: for every admissible competitor w,
⨍_V ‖𝐀^{1/2}(X(V) - X_w)‖² = 4(J(V,p,q;a) - ⨍_V(-½∇w·σ∇w - p·a∇w + q·∇w)),
the printed identity together with the remark that its right side "is one
quarter of the corresponding block energy", because the difference of two
primal optimizer fields has the form (∇φ, a∇φ) and the pointwise energy
identity applies to it. This is the per-cell half of the exact factor-two
response identity; the averaging over the aligned subdivision is the
exact-partition step.
