Pointwise block algebra (items A4–A9) #
Sharp-constant pointwise block-matrix algebra of Proposition 2.1 of the
high-moment paper (Armstrong–Kuusi–Loher, to appear). Items A4–A8-upper
live here; the diagonal-sandwich lower bound A8 and the two-field comparison A9
(which need the block Fenchel/inverse machinery) live in
SharpBlockBounds/DiagonalSandwich.lean.
Notation throughout: A : Mat d, s := symmPart A, k := skewPart A, and
bfA := blockMatrixOfCoeff A is the doubled block matrix
[[s + kᵀ s⁻¹ k, −kᵀ s⁻¹], [−s⁻¹ k, s⁻¹]].
Elementary matrix/vector helpers #
A7 — the block quadratic identity #
(p,q) · bfA (p,q) = p · s p + (q − k p) · s⁻¹ (q − k p). This is the
identity blockMatrixOfCoeff_quadratic_eq, re-exported under the item-A7 name.
A7. The doubled quadratic form of bfA in Schur-complement form.
The image identity and the sharp flux/coercivity bound #
s + kᵀ s⁻¹ k is the quadratic form w ↦ (A w) · s⁻¹ (A w); combined with the
flux inequality (★) this gives the sharp nonsymmetric coercivity A4.
Quadratic-form identity w · s w + (k w) · s⁻¹ (k w) = (A w) · s⁻¹ (A w).
The sharp flux/coercivity bound (A w) · s⁻¹ (A w) ≤ Lam · ‖w‖², proved by
Cauchy–Schwarz against the flux inequality (★) for Aᵀ.
The skew Schur term is controlled by A4's budget:
(k w) · s⁻¹ (k w) ≤ Lam ‖w‖² − w · s w.
A4 — nonsymmetric coercivity #
A4. s + kᵀ s⁻¹ k ≤ Θ • 1 in the Loewner order.
A5 — sharp flux bounds #
Quadratic form of A Aᵀ is the squared adjoint image norm ‖Aᵀ x‖².
A5a. Aᵀ A ≤ Θ • s in the Loewner order.
A5b. A Aᵀ ≤ Θ • s in the Loewner order.
A5 (corollary). ‖A e‖² + ‖Aᵀ e‖² ≤ 2 Θ (e · s e).
A6 — skew bound #
A8 (upper) — diagonal sandwich, upper half #
A block-diagonal matrix with scalar-multiple-of-identity blocks acts diagonally on doubled vectors.
A8 (upper). bfA ≤ blockDiag (2Θ • 1) (2 • 1) in the block Loewner
order.
