A Defect-Gram Proof of the Crouzeix Theorem, v1.0.0
Release notes
v1.0.0 - 2026-08-24
Initial standalone release of:
- the manuscript The Numerical-Range Inequality and the Rational Spectral-Set
Formulation and its compiled PDF; - the kernel-checked endpoint for the finite-dimensional scalar
polynomial numerical-range inequality with constant2; - the corresponding reduced-rational spectral-set endpoint;
- direct Euclidean-operator-norm and attained-maximum wrappers;
- the defect-Gram recurrence, strict scaled finite-Blaschke local bound,
Schur-approximation completion, and convex outer-exhaustion assembly; - pinned Lean, Mathlib, supporting-package, and RMT4 revisions;
- a source manifest, manuscript hashes, CI verification, and public axiom
audit.
The kernel reports only propext, Classical.choice, and Quot.sound for
the public declarations. The manuscript is a non-peer-reviewed research
preprint. The completion stage in Lean is an alternative checked mechanism
with the same downstream endpoint consequence, rather than a line-by-line
transcription of the manuscript's confluent interpolation and
boundary-extension lemmas; see FORMALIZATION_MAP.md.
