Atlas.ProbabilisticMethodsInCombinatorics.code.Chapter9.SphericalCap

The $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure on the unit sphere $S^{n-1}$, serving as the unnormalized surface-area measure used to define normalizedSphereMeasure.

Instances For

    The total $(n-1)$-Hausdorff surface measure of the sphere $S^{n-1}$ is finite.

    noncomputable def SphericalCap.normalizedSphereMeasure {n : } (A : Set (Metric.sphere 0 1)) :

    The uniform probability measure on $S^{n-1}$, defined by normalizing the $(n-1)$-Hausdorff surface measure: $\mu(A) = \operatorname{vol}(A) / \operatorname{vol}(S^{n-1})$.

    Instances For

      The normalized sphere measure is monotone with respect to set inclusion.

      Subadditivity (union bound) of the normalized sphere measure: $\mu(A \cup B) \le \mu(A) + \mu(B)$.

      noncomputable def SphericalCap.sphericalCapMeasure (n : ) (ε : ) :

      The normalized measure of the spherical cap $\{x \in S^{n-1} \mid x_1 \ge \varepsilon\}$, i.e. $\mathbb{P}_{x \sim S^{n-1}}(x_1 \ge \varepsilon)$ (with the convention that the value is $0$ when $n = 0$).

      Instances For

        For $\varepsilon > 1$ the cap $\{x \in S^{n-1} \mid x_1 \ge \varepsilon\}$ is empty, hence has measure $0$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphericalCapMeasure_le_case1 (n : ) (ε : ) (hε0 : 0 ε) (hε1 : ε 1 / 2) :
        sphericalCapMeasure n ε (1 - ε ^ 2) ^ n

        Spherical cap bound, small-$\varepsilon$ regime ($0 \le \varepsilon \le 1/\sqrt{2}$): $\mathbb{P}(x_1 \ge \varepsilon) \le (1 - \varepsilon^{2})^{n/2}$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphericalCapMeasure_le_case2 (n : ) (ε : ) (hε_lb : 1 / 2 ε) (hε_ub : ε 1) :
        sphericalCapMeasure n ε (1 / (2 * ε)) ^ n

        Spherical cap bound, large-$\varepsilon$ regime ($1/\sqrt{2} \le \varepsilon \le 1$): $\mathbb{P}(x_1 \ge \varepsilon) \le \big(1/(2\varepsilon)\big)^{n}$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sqrt_one_sub_sq_le_exp (ε : ) :
        (1 - ε ^ 2) Real.exp (-(ε ^ 2 / 2))

        Real analysis lemma: $\sqrt{1 - \varepsilon^{2}} \le \exp(-\varepsilon^{2}/2)$, obtained from $1 - x \le e^{-x}$ and the identity $\sqrt{e^{-t}} = e^{-t/2}$.

        theorem SphericalCap.inv_two_mul_le_exp (ε : ) (hε_lb : 1 / 2 ε) (hε_ub : ε 1) :
        1 / (2 * ε) Real.exp (-(ε ^ 2 / 2))

        Real analysis lemma: for $1/\sqrt{2} \le \varepsilon \le 1$, $1/(2\varepsilon) \le \exp(-\varepsilon^{2}/2)$.

        theorem SphericalCap.pow_le_exp_of_le {r ε : } {n : } (hr : 0 r) (h : r Real.exp (-(ε ^ 2 / 2))) :
        r ^ n Real.exp (-(n * ε ^ 2 / 2))

        Raising the bound $r \le e^{-\varepsilon^{2}/2}$ to the $n$-th power yields $r^{n} \le \exp(-n \varepsilon^{2}/2)$.

        theorem SphericalCap.spherical_cap_bound (n : ) (ε : ) ( : 0 ε) :
        sphericalCapMeasure n ε Real.exp (-(n * ε ^ 2 / 2))

        Spherical cap concentration (Theorem 9.4.11). For a uniformly random unit vector $x \sim S^{n-1}$ and $\varepsilon \ge 0$, $\mathbb{P}(x_1 \ge \varepsilon) \le \exp(-n \varepsilon^{2}/2)$.

        Contrapositive helper: if the normalized measure of some set $A$ is positive, then the total surface volume of $S^{n-1}$ is nonzero (i.e. the sphere is genuinely $(n-1)$-dimensional).

        Probability complement: $\mu(A^c) = 1 - \mu(A)$ for the normalized sphere measure, provided the total surface volume is nonzero.

        A set of positive normalized sphere measure is nonempty.

        Key intermediate step in the concentration of measure on $S^{n-1}$: if $\mu(A) \ge 1/2$, then $1 - \mu(A_t) \le \mathbb{P}\!\big(x_1 \ge t/\sqrt{2}\big)$ for every $t \ge 0$, obtained from Lévy's isoperimetric inequality.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphere_concentration {n : } (A : Set (Metric.sphere 0 1)) (hA : normalizedSphereMeasure A 1 / 2) (t : ) (ht : 0 t) :

        Concentration of measure on the sphere (Corollary 9.4.12). If $\mu(A) \ge 1/2$ then $\mu(A_t) \ge 1 - \exp(-n t^{2}/4)$ for every $t \ge 0$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphere_median_exists {n : } (f : (Metric.sphere 0 1)) :
        ∃ (m : ), normalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | f x m} 1 / 2 normalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | f x m} 1 / 2

        Existence of a median for any function $f : S^{n-1} \to \mathbb{R}$: there is some $m \in \mathbb{R}$ such that both $\{f \le m\}$ and $\{f \ge m\}$ have normalized sphere measure at least $1/2$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphere_lipschitz_sublevel_bound {n : } (f : (Metric.sphere 0 1)) (hf_lip : LipschitzWith 1 f) (m t : ) (ht : 0 t) (hm : normalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | f x m} 1 / 2) :

        For a $1$-Lipschitz function $f : S^{n-1} \to \mathbb{R}$ with median bound $\mu(f \le m) \ge 1/2$, the upper tail $\{f > m + t\}$ has measure at most $1 - \mu(\text{thickening}_t \{f \le m\})$. This is the geometric link between Lipschitz tails and isoperimetric thickening.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphere_lipschitz_upper_tail {n : } (f : (Metric.sphere 0 1)) (hf_lip : LipschitzWith 1 f) (m : ) (hm : normalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | f x m} 1 / 2) (t : ) (ht : 0 t) :
        normalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | f x > m + t} Real.exp (-(n * t ^ 2 / 4))

        One-sided concentration for $1$-Lipschitz functions on the sphere: if $m$ is a median of $f$ then $\mu(f > m + t) \le \exp(-n t^{2}/4)$ for all $t \ge 0$.

        theorem SphericalCap.sphere_lipschitz_concentration {n : } (f : (Metric.sphere 0 1)) (hf_lip : LipschitzWith 1 f) :
        ∃ (m : ), ∀ (t : ), 0 tnormalizedSphereMeasure {x : (Metric.sphere 0 1) | |f x - m| > t} 2 * Real.exp (-(n * t ^ 2 / 4))

        Concentration of $1$-Lipschitz functions on the sphere (Corollary 9.4.14). For any $1$-Lipschitz $f : S^{n-1} \to \mathbb{R}$ there exists a median $m \in \mathbb{R}$ such that $\mu(|f - m| > t) \le 2 \exp(-n t^{2}/4)$ for every $t \ge 0$.
