Domination of an adapted response by a reference block #
The well-definedness paragraph of p.two.grid.transport reads one
pathwise inequality โ the coarse response of an adapted cell lies below a
multiple of the reference block ๐ โ and extracts from it everything the
printed quantities need in order to denote. Two extractions are needed, and
both are recorded here in the generality in which the transport uses them, with
no probability in sight.
The first is entrywise: a symmetric doubled block whose quadratic form is caught
between zero and that of c๐ has all its entries bounded by 2|c| times the
entry scale of ๐. That is what makes the annealed block an expectation.
The second is the centered Schatten size at the block's own normalization.
Writing G_hat = E^{-1/2}๐E^{-1/2} for the normalized response, the centered
normalization is G_hat - I; it is above -I for free, since G_hat is positive
semidefinite, and it is below tI as soon as tr G_hat โค t, a positive
semidefinite matrix being below its own trace. The scalar Loewner sandwich
-(1+|t|)I โค G_hat - I โค (1+|t|)I then gives the Schatten size directly. The
trace hypothesis is in turn a consequence of the same Loewner bound, the
congruence by E^{-1/2} being order preserving and the trace monotone.
The entrywise bound #
The entrywise bound on a dominated coarse response. A coarse response
below c๐ in the Loewner order has every entry bounded by 2|c| times the
entry scale of the reference block; the lower bound comes from the response's
own positivity, which needs no hypothesis.
The centered Schatten size #
The trace of a normalized block is monotone in the block. The
congruence by E^{-1/2} preserves the Loewner order and the trace is monotone,
so a Loewner bound ๐ โค c๐ becomes the scalar bound
tr(E^{-1/2}๐E^{-1/2}) โค cยทtr(E^{-1/2}๐E^{-1/2}).
The centered Schatten size from a trace bound. The normalized response
G_hat = E^{-1/2}๐E^{-1/2} is positive semidefinite, hence below (tr G_hat)I; if its
trace is at most t, the centered normalization G_hat - I is caught between
โ(1+|t|)I, and the Schatten size of a block in such a sandwich is at most
(2d)^{1/Q} times the width.
