Positive Singular-Support Columns and Diagonalization

Abstract

Positive singular-support candidate columns admit an explicit real diagonalization.

Definition 1.1 (The singular-support radius).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.r (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The radius combines the distinguished positive coordinate with the two support coordinates.

Definition 1.2 (The unnormalized support block).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.gZero (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The support block is a positive scalar identity plus a positive rank-one matrix.

Definition 1.3 (The column-normalization matrix).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.H (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Each diagonal entry normalizes one support column by its radius and planar length.

Definition 1.4 (The normalized support block).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.K (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Right multiplication by the diagonal normalization rescales the two columns of the support block.

Definition 1.5 (The distinguished eigenvalue).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.q (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The distinguished eigenvalue is the radius-normalized sum of the two weighted planar lengths.

Definition 1.6 (The final candidate column).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.u (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The final column is the scaled residual of the distinguished eigenvalue equation on the positive support vector.

Definition 1.7 (The three-dimensional block candidate).

Formalization. D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.Q (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The candidate is block upper triangular with support block K, final column u, and scalar block q.

Theorem 1.8 (Positive columns and explicit real diagonalization).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/QuantumContext/SingularSupportCandidateDiagonalizable.singular_support_candidate_positive_and_diagonalizable (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

For each component, eliminating the radial factor gives the displayed two-coordinate positivity identity. The ratio of the two diagonal normalizations is strictly below the corresponding square-root bound, which makes both residual components positive.

The unnormalized support block is positive definite. Conjugating it by the positive square root of the normalization gives a real symmetric positive-definite matrix. Its spectral decomposition supplies two positive eigenvalues and an invertible eigenbasis for K.

The identity Kp+zu=qp makes every weighted row sum strictly smaller than q. Applying the maximum-ratio argument to an eigenvector places both support eigenvalues below q.

Adjoining p/z to the support eigenbasis gives the explicit upper-triangular block change of basis. The relation Kp+zu=qp proves the final column equation, and invertibility follows because the change of basis is block upper-triangular with invertible diagonal blocks.
