Quadratic ultraviolet kernels and comparison

Shadow Theory and the Wilson Yang–Mills Construction: A Source–Readout Reconstruction

Quadratic ultraviolet kernels and comparison

The recovery problem at quadratic order. The finite Wilson measure is now fixed. The next task is to control its quadratic approximation under repeated blocking. A quadratic history retains the cochain spaces, block averages, precision forms, covariance symbols and stationary predictors at every intermediate scale. A precision is the quadratic form in the Gaussian exponent; its inverse is taken only on the specified gauge and harmonic complement. The source record must therefore retain that complement, rather than replacing a singular form by an unspecified inverse.

At the tangent level the frame readout is a surjection p with section j, pj = I. An operator T is realized by jTp, whereas its quadratic form is pulled back by p∗Qp. These two constructions have different types. In particular the pulled-back form has the vertical frame directions in its radical and cannot be coercive there. The ensuing Fourier divisions, alias sums and positive-margin repairs are performed in the original cochain spaces and are then recovered through these maps. The principalpredictor amendment in Appendix I.1 is essential to cancellation before Fourier extraction; a bound on the separate singular pieces would not replace that identity.

For reporting level k write T(k, i) = 2 + Z(k) + | scale(i) −scale(k)|. The spacings ai tend to zero. The supplied Qn,i is the action Hessian on link potentials, with no additional factor one half, obtained from a curvature packet by D∗KD; it does not specify the curvature metric away from curls. The row bound Rs sums absolute entries over input sites at fixed input orientation, with weight es distance, and takes the supremum over output links.

Retain the horizon hypotheses named H.Suffices P and Flat.meshed, including the actual destination response in each preceding history. In particular yi = w(J(i)), 0 < w(j) ≤min(P.α(j), 1), and on the admitting tail yi ≤min(1, P.α(J(i+1)), P.α(J(i))). Retain 2yi ≤block(i)yi+1, one-step price at most block(i)−θ for θ > 0, and P.Ω(J(i)) ≤BT(k, i)l uniformly in k, i ≥e.

The terminal saddle difference is a curvature packet with cost topTab(N) = 2|Faces|P.Ω(J(N)). The exact crossing identity propagates this packet using the two actual histories’ responses, retaining neutrality and translation covariance. Width crossing licenses each propagation. In particular, this is an identity for the two actual histories rather than a comparison with a separately chosen limiting history. Its cost satisfies

CN = topTab(N),
Ci ≤block(i)−θCi+1.

CN = topTab(N),
Ci ≤block(i)−θCi+1.

Before replacing the quote by its block bound, propagation multiplies the packet cost by quote(i, yi+1). The reciprocal Stair.weight constructs a nonnegative majorant whose recurrence is an equality with this actual quote. World.overlap then applies the polynomial-age decay lemma to that majorant, without assuming a continuum limit. The polynomial decay argument below then yields A ≥0, an integer d ≥0 and c > 0 such that

Ryi(Qn,i −QN,i) ≤AT(k, i)d(aN/ai)c,
e ≤i ≤N ≤n.

To recover the cover quadratic kernel, let D be the lattice coboundary and write W(K) = D∗KD, interpreting K through its two-point kernel. For the packet-to-kernel step, finite support of D supplies width-one row and column bound L. Weighted convolution gives Rs(D∗KD) ≤|Faces|2L2C for s ≤1 and packet cost C, independently of torus size. Equality of the packet form and kernel difference on all scheduled tori gives cover equality by the following uniqueness argument. In a periodized entry, the indicator selecting each fixed cover site converges to the indicator of the chosen site as torus side tends to infinity. Summable absolute entries dominate this sum; dominated convergence recovers the cover entry. Thus two summable kernels with identical periodizations agree entrywise. This is Flat.resolve, distinct from the matrix inverse named resolve elsewhere.

Q1 makes every entry Cauchy for fixed i ≥e. Its limit Fi obeys, by Fatou on weighted absolute rows, Ryi(QN,i −Fi) ≤AT(k, i)d(aN/ai)c, Ryi(Fi) ≤B′T(k, i)l.

At the terminal index the bound follows from A ≤B. If it holds at i + 1, the recurrence gives (Bq + A)(K + τi)d = B(K + τi)d. Thus backward induction gives fi ≤B(K + τi)d ≤B(K + 1)dτ d i , using K+τi ≤(K+1)τi. If giec(tN−ti) is polynomially bounded, multiply the recurrence by eμ(tN−ti), μ = min(c, θ/2) > 0. The transformed forcing is polynomial because μ ≤c, and the new decay exponent is θ −μ > 0. The same argument gives fi ≤A′τ d′ i e−μ(tN−ti), equal to a positive power of aN/ai. A forcing supported only at N automatically satisfies the weighted hypothesis, because its exponential factor is one on its support. For well-founded grades, finite polynomials in earlier-

grade bounds provide the forcing; next-scale ages are polynomially controlled when block lengths are polynomial in current age, since τi+1 ≤τi + log(block(i)) ≤τi + block(i). Difference forcing retains polynomial absolute bounds of both histories, including the current grade, and difference bounds only at strictly earlier grades. Multiplication by polynomial absolute bounds preserves exponential decay. Finite sums take the minimum positive decay exponent.

Every admissible horizon has the same fixed terminal bare quadratic form. On each scheduled finite torus its stationary response satisfies

Qcoarse = T TQfineT + b(I −PT)T(I −PT),
b > 0.

Here P is the common probe and T the actual extracted response. All spaces in this comparison are real with the stated physical metrics; ∗below denotes their adjoint, represented by transpose in orthonormal coordinates. For two symmetric fine precisions Q, R, symmetric coarse precisions A, B, and responses T, W, the primal and dual equations give

QT = P ∗A,
RW = P ∗B,
A = b(I −PT),
B = b(I −PW),

W ∗(R −Q)T = BPT −(PW)∗A = B(I −A/b) −(I −B/b)A = B −A.

Explicitly, transposing RW = P ∗B gives W ∗R = BP. The ordered mixed products cancel without commutation of A and B, even when auxiliary factorizations differ. Common terminal forms therefore yield common evaluated quadratic forms backwards, and summable cover uniqueness yields common kernels. The source’s shadow clips change the numerical factors to γ(j), γ(j)/32 > 0 while retaining relaxation, radius, slow selector, schedule, patches, smoothing levels and the blocking penalty, so this comparison applies to those horizons. It asserts equality on link-potential quadratic forms, not equality of higher-order horizon data. The responses T, W and their primal and dual equations are constructed in the harmonic and scaled-exterior arguments below.

Under the tangent readout, the packet is pulled back as a form, while responses use jTp. The exact crossing and comparison identities therefore recover by the operator/form theorem. All row bounds apply on the transported section with the original color norms; the redundant vertical directions are not assigned a positive coercive floor. This identifies the source quadratic convergence mechanism on the realized branch without replacing its horizon assumptions.

Recovery of the ultraviolet limit and common output. At a fixed reporting lattice i, choose the tangent readout pi and section ji once, independently of the terminal cutoffn, with piji = I. For the finite-cutoffforms and their limit put

eQn,i = p∗
i Qn,ipi,
eFi = p∗
i Fipi,
j∗
i eQn,iji = Qn,i,

i eFiji = Fi.

The standard tangent readout is a fixed finite stencil at this level. Every entry of its pulled-back form is therefore a finite linear combination of entries of the physical form. Entrywise convergence commutes with this pullback and with section restriction. On the section, use the transported physical coordinate basis and the original distance and color norm. The weighted row bound of the restricted difference is then exactly Ryi(QN,i −Fi), with the original polynomial and decay constants; this is not a bound in an arbitrarily chosen norm on the redundant coordinates. The same restriction recovers the Fatou bound and the family independent of reporting level k. On each scheduled torus the readout stencil is its periodic version, so the finite-stencil pullback commutes with periodization of the summable kernel. Consequently the cover-uniqueness argument compares the same physical entries after readout. It requires no inverse of the redundant precision. When two horizon outputs agree at every cutoff, their section restrictions and their entrywise limits agree; this transfers the supplied common-output and entrance conclusions with their original admissibility conditions. It does not identify curvature metrics away from curls or nonlinear data of the two horizons.

11.1 The finite quadratic history contract and its terminal majorant

Before the horizon hypotheses are stated it must be said exactly what a finite quadratic history is. At each i ≤n it consists of five real Laurent rows on lattice two-forms: an unamended metric H, its inverse, an amended metric M, its inverse, and a residual Gram root F. Their weighted coefficient bounds have width α(J(i)) > 0 and price Ω(J(i)). At every torus period

HH−1 = MM−1 = I,
F ∗F + cI = M,
Md1 = Hd1,
M(0) = I,

where c > 0 is the direct clip coefficient, so the full Gram factor is the stack (√c I, F). Both
metrics are symmetric with quadratic forms between η(J(i))I and Ω(J(i))I, η > 0, and the terminal
unamended metric is I. Each transition carries a fine potential response A0, a curvature response
T, and mixed, normal and image rows satisfying the stationary and Gram identities derived in the

A word of r carried fine differences of A0 or of T has bound ΩL−1−r or ΩL−2−r respectively, through order J(i + 1) −2. A carried difference increments the fine residue, shifts the coarse displacement when the increment crosses its centred seam, and subtracts the original entry: it is the actual fine difference including the carry. These all-period conditions are constructed by the metric, positive-margin, auxiliary-tower and pinning arguments below; they are not additional hypotheses of the public theorem.

Proposition 11.1 (Lift of the five-row contract). Let p(φ, a) = a + d0φ and j(u) = (0, u) be the potential readout and section of Theorem A.1. Two-form rows are read through d1p, and d1p(φ, a) = d1a. Then:

1. the identities (1) hold verbatim for the realized rows, which act on the same two-form space;
in particular (√c I, F) is a Gram factor of M, so M ≥cI;

1. the identities (1) hold verbatim for the realized rows, which act on the same two-form space;
in particular (√c I, F) is a Gram factor of M, so M ≥cI;

2. the exterior identity pulls back to M d1p = H d1p on the whole redundant potential space, and both sides vanish on the vertical subspace {(φ, −d0φ)};

3. the realized potential response A0,Z = jfA0pc satisfies pfA0,Z = A0pc, and a word of carried fine differences of A0,Z reads to the same word for A0, with the same residue increments and seam carries.

Proof. (1) The frame redundancy acts on potentials only, and d1d0 = 0 shows that no two-form coordinate is changed; the rows and their products are literally the supplied ones. The quadratic form of F ∗F + cI is ∥Fv∥2 + c∥v∥2. (2) Compose Md1 = Hd1 with p and use d1p(φ, −d0φ) = −d1d0φ = 0. (3) The first identity is Theorem A.1. A carried fine difference is a fixed finite combination of lattice translations and index carries, which commute with p and j because d0 is translation covariant; induction on the length of the word gives the claim.

The empty product gives the terminal value and each backward step is exactly the required contraction. Put u = tN −ti ≥0. The triangle inequality gives T(k, N) ≤T(k, i) + u, and T(k, i) ≥2, so T(k, N) ≤T(k, i)(1 + u). The polynomial cap on the terminal price yields

11.2 Width selection and neutral propagation

The entrance construction first fixes the retained-support linear choice, its positive clip curve γ and length demand n. For its price choice X, use E(j) = max(tickets(X, j), n(j)) and require E(J(i + 1)) ≤block(i), including auxiliary steps before admission. Apply the linear horizon construction to the sheet with rearranged clips. The delay assumption at the admitting index supplies the widths checked below. The supplies construction on the shadow horizon gives one common family Fi, polynomial absolute bounds and decaying difference bounds. The same_shadow identity identifies every original finite-cutoffoutput with its shadow output; equality of these sequences transfers their limits and all bounds to every original horizon meeting its admissible price conditions. This proves the quadratic-history comparison. The responses themselves are constructed, and their primal and dual equations derived, in the harmonic and scaled-exterior subsections below (Subsections 11.9 and 11.10).

For a fixed price table choose w(j) = min(1, P.α(j), P.α(j +1)) > 0 before the lengths. If h(j, u) is the adjacent smoothing allotment, put

B(j, u) = |Faces|2
2
w(j)h(j, u)2,
EP (j) =
l
2/w(j) + B(j, j)2 + B(j, j −1)2m

.
The smoothing index stays fixed or increases by one at each step. Thus u = J(i) is j = J(i + 1) or
j −1. The requirement L ≥EP (j) gives both B(j, u)2 ≤L and L ≥2/w(j), and pays B(j, u)/L ≤
L−1/2 and 2w(u) ≤2 ≤Lw(j). These are the contraction and width-crossing inequalities with
θ = 1/2. Adjacency also makes w(u) no greater than either analytic width required at the crossing.
The thresholds depend on the already fixed prices, before L is chosen. With Z(k) = 3 + log bβk,
bβk > 1, and slope s > 0, the affine clock gives bβi ≤bβk + s|ti −tk|. Divide by bβk > 1 and use

Weighted row/column absolute majorants justify every regrouping: first sum the nonnegative absolute majorant in the output variables, then in the input variables. The resulting finite product of bounds dominates the full multiple series, including regrouping over the finite orientation sets. Before taking absolute values, subtract from the right factor the value at the site of x with the orientation of v; neutrality cancels the removed sum orientation by orientation. Explicitly the centered factor is U(v, z) −U((x.site, v.orientation), z). For τ > 0 and 2σ ≤Lτ, aeσa/L ≤(2/τ)eτa: use σ/L ≤τ/2 and a ≤(2/τ)eτa/2, which follows from u ≤eu for u ≥0. The degree-two centered right row therefore costs |β|(2/τ)c/L3; the left column costs |α|qL2. A packet of cost p consequently gives foldedσ(K′) ≤[|α|q|β|(2/τ)c/L]p.

The L−1 gain requires centering before the norm. Site-independent orientation-wise output sums
of U preserve neutrality. Summing K′(y, (z, b)) in z then gives a linear combination of the zero

Quadratic comparison and neutral-cost recovery. The scalar recursion source retains each nonnegative forcing value, age and scale increment. Its readout is the identity on these entries, so the majorant, terminal condition and exponentially weighted recurrence recover literally, with the same K, q, B, μ and well-founded grade order. The price table and widths are fixed before the chosen block length; neither the lift nor the shadow quadratic comparison reorders these choices.

For finite physical tangent spaces use sections jf, jc and readouts pf, pc. Transport T as jfTpc and a precision as the pulled-back form p∗ fQpf. Restriction to the sections then recovers every stationary and mixed comparison identity, including W ∗(R −Q)T = B −A, in the original metrics. On curvature packet coordinates transport each response and packet with their corresponding section maps. The orientation-wise cancellation of the constant right predictor is retained before forming the absolute majorant. Its scalar cost reader is exactly

(|α|qL2) (|β|(2/τ)cL−3) p = |α|q|β|(2/τ)cL−1p.

(|α|qL2) (|β|(2/τ)cL−3) p = |α|q|β|(2/τ)cL−1p.

Thus the width crossing, neutral gain and periodized quadratic difference recover with the same actual histories, and no positive form is imposed on redundant vertical directions. Absolute convergence licenses the same finite-orientation regrouping and residue-class periodization used in the physical comparison.

11.3 Full-space correction and analytic roots

On the whole three-form coordinate space the source symbol is A = V + lI −mS∗S, with m ≥0, V ≥−a2CI and S∗S ≤a2BL−2I. Choosing l ≥a2C + 2 before requiring ma2B ≤L2 gives A ≥I. Here m is the fine amendment, l the coarse amendment, and a a fixed orientation count; C, B > 0 depend only on the fixed smoothing pair and penalty. At real momentum the symbols are Hermitian, and for every full three-form vector x,

⟨x, Ax⟩≥[−a2C + l −ma2B/L2]∥x∥2 ≥∥x∥2.
Source page 35.
Searchable transcription
⟨x, Ax⟩≥[−a2C + l −ma2B/L2]∥x∥2 ≥∥x∥2.

Thus the coarse threshold is chosen before the length, which then absorbs the already fixed fine amendment. For R = F ∗AF, a uniformly bounded right inverse of the actual square finite matrix F is also a left inverse. Consequently F is invertible and has ∥x∥2 ≤W∥Fx∥2, hence R ≥W −1I. An independent analytic row estimate supplies the upper bound. This is a full three-form bound, not merely a curl-image bound. The rebased identity is

The allowed upper cap of c is half a uniform positive metric lower bound. To retain the root construction, let Q have strip η, weighted coefficient bound A ≥v > 0 and real symbols vI ≤ Q ≤AI. With D = A/(η/2) and fixed entrywise-to-operator norm factor C > 1, choose τ = min(η/2, v/(2CD)). On the real axis, unitary diagonalization gives ∥A−1Q(p) −I∥≤1 −v/A. Differentiating the absolutely convergent Fourier series on the smaller strip η/2 gives the entrywise symbol-difference bound with constant D. Take C to be one plus the norm of the fixed identification from entrywise matrices to operator norm. Comparison with Re p in the width-τ collar gives ∥Q(p) −Q(Re p)∥≤v/2, and therefore ∥A−1Q(p) −I∥≤1 −v/(2A) < 1 uniformly. Thus

Full-space correction and root recovery. For each physical exterior degree r retain a section jr and readout pr with prjr = I. The full three-form bound is recovered on j3H3, where H3 is the entire original three-form space:

Here the pairing denotes the pulled-back form evaluated on the section. Thus every original three-form vector is included, while the redundant vertical kernel is allowed. Transport exterior maps as jr+1drpr and the installed response by its corresponding operator lift. Restrict pulled-back metric forms to their sections before composing the rebased identity. Every intermediate prjr cancels, and the result is exactly B[Y −T ∗XT −b−1d1d∗ 1]B = d∗ 2Rd2 in the physical metrics. The original inverse bound for F is used on its physical full space; no inverse of p∗ 3Ap3 on redundant coordinates is introduced.

This is a factorization of the pulled-back metric form. Separately, if P is the positive analytic square-root operator of Q, its operator realization is P Z = jPp. It satisfies (P Z)2 = jQp and pP Zj = P. In the transported section metric it recovers the original positive self-adjoint root; no choice of an ambient redundant-coordinate inner product is implicit. The root branch, collar and Laurent coefficients are the original retained analytic data. At each period the same row factorization and section identities recover the torus Gram identity, with precisely the original widths and costs on the physical section.

Both line functions equal one at zero. Geometric summation, including the zero set by the polynomial identity, gives MRM(z)(eiz −1) = eiMz −1. Splitting the integer index as Mu + v gives RL(Mz)RM(z) = RLM(z). For odd L, M, the centers obey M⌊L/2⌋+ ⌊M/2⌋= ⌊LM/2⌋, giving PL(Mz)PM(z) = PLM(z). Center reflection and conjugation give PM(−z) = PM(z) and PM(z) = PM(− ̄z).

A train descends through smoothing indices which stay fixed or decrease by one backwards, and its mass is the product of its odd block lengths. A terminal train has mass and smoothing function one. At a hop of block L from index J to j, j ≤J ≤j + 1, the new mass is L mass(v) and its smoothing function becomes AL(mass(v)p)J smoothv(p). Equivalently,

smoothv = Aj

On | Im pa| < ζ/H, finite sums give |AM(p)| ≤e4ζM/H. This latter representation separates the fixed stage power from the extra smoothing inserted at stage changes. Masses grow by factors at least three, and the extra exponent is zero or one, so summing the geometric mass series gives | extrav(p)| ≤e8ζ mass(v)/H for mass at most H. The real principal estimate |PM(pa/H)| ≥ e−cM/H yields the companion extra lower bound e−8c mass(v)/H and hence a positive lower bound
