Support Rayleigh Monotonicity

Abstract

A support-window enlargement expands the normalized Weil test class and cannot increase the lowest Rayleigh value of a window-invariant quadratic cost.

Theorem 1.1 (The lowest Rayleigh value is antitone under support enlargement).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Weil/ZetaPntBounds/SupportRayleighMonotonicity.support_rayleigh_monotonicity (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

W is the canonical carrier of even smooth compactly supported complex tests, and l2Mass is its canonical squared real-line mass. The two displayed sets are the attained quadratic-cost values on unit-mass tests in the respective open windows.

The window-invariance premise is the source clause that the explicit formula value does not change when a smaller-supported test is viewed in a larger external window. Set inclusion and the conditional-complete-lattice infimum lemma yield the result.
