The perpendicular vector in $\mathbb{R}^2$: $\mathrm{perp}(d_0, d_1) = (-d_1, d_0)$.
Instances For
Underlying point set of a rectangle with centre $c$, axis-direction $d$, width $w$ and length $l$: the set of $x$ with $|\langle x - c, d\rangle| \le l/2$ and $|\langle x - c, d^\perp\rangle| \le w/2$.
Instances For
A tube of length $R$ in $\mathbb{R}^2$: an oriented $1 \times R$ rectangle parameterised by a centre point and a unit direction vector.
- center : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 2)
- direction : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 2)
Instances For
The open $r$-thickening of a tube's carrier (the set of points within distance $r$).
Instances For
An oriented rectangle in $\mathbb{R}^2$ of given width and length, parameterised by a centre and a unit direction (the axis of the rectangle).
- center : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 2)
- direction : EuclideanSpace ℝ (Fin 2)
Instances For
The standard bilinear pairing $(v, w) \mapsto \langle v, w\rangle$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$, packaged as a continuous bilinear map (used to define the Fourier transform on $\mathbb{R}^2$).
Instances For
The Fourier transform on $\mathbb{R}^2$: $\widehat f(\xi) = \int_{\mathbb{R}^2} f(x)\, e^{-2\pi i \langle x, \xi\rangle}\, dx$.
Instances For
The frequency annulus at scale $r$: $\{\xi : r^{-1}/2 \le \|\xi\| \le 2 r^{-1}\}$.
Instances For
The frequency-localised wave packet $\phi_{T, r}$ associated to a tube $T$ at scale $r$: a function whose Fourier transform is concentrated in an angular cap of width $\sim r/R$ around the direction of $T$.
Instances For
The frequency angular cap supporting $\widehat{\phi_{T, r}}$: frequencies in the annulus of scale $r$ that lie within angular distance $\lesssim r / R$ of the line $\mathbb{R} \cdot T.\mathrm{direction}$.
Instances For
Angular Fourier support of the tube wave packet: $\widehat{\phi_{T, r}}$ vanishes outside the frequency angular cap of $T$.
The $L^2$ inner product $\langle f, g\rangle = \int f(x) \overline{g(x)}\, dx$ on $\mathbb{R}^2$.
Instances For
A surrogate for the angle between two tubes: $\|T_1.\text{direction} - T_2.\text{direction}\|$ (which is comparable to $|\sin \theta|$ for the actual angle $\theta$ between the directions when both are unit vectors).
Instances For
Plancherel's theorem on $\mathbb{R}^2$: $\langle f, g\rangle_{L^2} = \langle \widehat f, \widehat g\rangle_{L^2}$.
If two tubes have angular separation $\ge R^\varepsilon \cdot r/R$ then the Fourier supports of their wave packets $\phi_{T_1, r}, \phi_{T_2, r}$ are disjoint: at every frequency $\xi$, at least one of the Fourier transforms vanishes.
If at every point $\xi$ either $f(\xi) = 0$ or $g(\xi) = 0$, then $\langle f, g\rangle = 0$ — the integrand vanishes identically.
Orthogonality of tube wave packets (angular case): if the tubes have angular separation $\ge R^\varepsilon \cdot r/R$, then $\langle \phi_{T_1, r}, \phi_{T_2, r}\rangle = 0$ exactly. Proof: Plancherel plus disjoint Fourier supports.
If the $r$-thickenings of two tubes are disjoint, then for every point $x$ at least one of the two tubes lies at distance $\ge r$ from $x$.
Schwartz-type pointwise decay bound for the tube wave packet: $|\phi_{T, r}(x)| \le r^{-1} (1 + d(x, T) / r)^{-N}$ for every $N > 0$.
The tube wave packet $\phi_{T, r}$ is absolutely integrable on $\mathbb{R}^2$ — its norm function lies in $L^1$.
If two tubes are $r$-separated, then the pointwise product of their wave packets satisfies $\int_{\mathbb{R}^2} |\phi_{T_1, r}(x) \overline{\phi_{T_2, r}(x)}|\, dx \le R^{-1000}$ (rapid decay from Schwartz estimates plus the $r$-separation).
Orthogonality of tube wave packets (spatial-disjointness case): if the $r$-thickenings of $T_1$ and $T_2$ are disjoint, then $|\langle \phi_{T_1, r}, \phi_{T_2, r}\rangle| \le R^{-1000}$.
Geometric covering lemma: if two tubes are angularly close ($\angle T_1, T_2 < R^\varepsilon \cdot r/R$) and their $r$-thickenings overlap, then they fit inside a common $R^\varepsilon r \times R^{1 + \varepsilon}$ rectangle.
Geometric dichotomy contrapositive of tubes_fit_in_rect_of_close: if no common
covering $R^\varepsilon r \times R^{1 + \varepsilon}$ rectangle exists, then either the tubes
have large angular separation, or their $r$-thickenings are disjoint.
Orthogonality of tube wave packets (Lemma): if two $1 \times R$ tubes $T_1, T_2$ do not fit into a common $R^\varepsilon r \times R^{1 + \varepsilon}$ rectangle, then $|\langle \phi_{T_1, r}, \phi_{T_2, r}\rangle| \lesssim R^{-1000}$. The implicit constant $C$ is uniform in $R, r, T_1, T_2$.
