Section 5 — Positive-Gram sigma-space specialization #
Application of the positive-Gram polar construction to the canonical sigma-space layer obtained from a rank-reduction witness.
Explicit positive-Gram polar extension from chosen row-extension data with the left factor represented as a unitary group element.
The existential construction of Xhat first chooses an embedding of the
positive spectral subspace into the auxiliary row space, then chooses a unitary
group element U extending the normalized image rows and a rectangular
coisometry W extending the right singular rows. This theorem records the
deterministic matrix produced from those choices, namely Uᵀ * W, together
with the two QXP identities it satisfies.
The explicit form is useful when a later argument needs to impose additional
structure on the chosen rows, such as fresh option-completion row preservation
used to derive the QXP-internal comparison Q_none ≤ P_none.
Existence of the polar-extension Xhat from a positive Gram factorization.
If Q = X†X is positive semidefinite and the row dimension is at most the
column dimension, the positive spectral rows of Q determine a rectangular
coisometry Xhat satisfying the two primitive QXP identities:
Xhat Xhat† = I and X† Xhat = sqrt Q.
Sigma-range specialization of the positive-Gram Xhat construction.
For a rank-reduction witness, the canonical sigma-space embedding satisfies
X†X = Q. The stored total-rank bound supplies the rectangular dimension
hypothesis, so the positive-Gram construction produces the Xhat required by
the QXP data package.
Produce the canonical sigma-space QXP layer from the positive-Gram Xhat.
This removes the last explicit Xhat input from the sigma-space constructor:
the rank-reduction witness supplies the projective Q layer and the
rectangular dimension bound, while
exists_xHat_of_sigmaFinRangeEmbedding_positiveGram supplies the coisometry
and mixed square-root identities.
Produce the canonical positive-Gram sigma-space QXP layer, and record
coisometry of the sigma embedding X.
The additional hypothesis is the usual subnormalization condition for the
projective family Q_a. It implies that the finite sigma-range embedding has
orthonormal rows, so the canonical X in the resulting QXPLayerData is a
coisometry.
