Let be a real inner product space, let be a unit vector, and let satisfy . For points put
the point reached from by walking along the axis a distance (this is the centre of the ball of common cone-neighbours of and ). If lies in the closed ball of radius about , then
The point of the two bounds is scale control: every intermediate point used to chain from to is at distance from both endpoints comparable to , with a constant depending only on the aperture . This is what makes an averaging argument over such compatible with a homogeneous singular weight in .

# Beyond the paper — new mathematics, not a formalisation of Bux–Kassmann–Schulze
**Everything in this file is outside the scope of the paper being certified.**
None of it appears in arXiv:1707.09277, in any form: not the statements, not the
constants, not the proofs. It is an attempt to close the one gap the
formalisation of that paper leaves open, and it should be read as new (and
incomplete) research rather than as a record of what the authors wrote. No
mathematics elsewhere in this repository depends on this file: deleting it, and
its line in the root module, would leave the certification of the paper
intact.
## The problem
Section 3.2's dominated-convergence step needs an a priori hypothesis its own
argument never establishes: that `f ∈ H_k(B*)` already lies in `H^{α/2}(B*)`.
The formalisation of that step (`QFS.limsup_lintegral_stepG_le`) and of the
whole of §3.2 (`QFS.formHs_ball_le_form_of_formHs_ne_top`) carries the
hypothesis explicitly. This file discharges it in dimension two, in several
regimes in every dimension, and reduces it in general to one integrability
condition.
## What this file proves
The route is a local Poincaré inequality: for two points `s`, `t`,
(★) `(f(s) − f(t))²` is recovered by chaining through intermediate points
that *do* see the relevant cones, averaged over a positive-measure set of
such points,
which converts the cone-restricted energy into the full fractional energy.
`exists_ball_in_two_cones` is its geometric heart: for two distinct points
sharing a cone direction it supplies a **ball** of intermediate points lying in
both cones — a positive-measure strengthening of the paper's Lemma 4.3, which
produces a single point. In the plane the same is true without a shared
direction (`mem_two_cones_of_mem_planarBall`), because two non-parallel lines
meet; that is what closes dimension two, and `no_common_neighbour_of_skew_axes`
proves that *this* construction cannot be pushed to dimension three.
Stripped of hypotheses, what the chaining gives is one inequality
(`lintegral_visibility_le`): for every configuration satisfying the standing
assumptions — the kernel bounds (2) and condition (M) — the `H^{α/2}` energy of
a pair, weighted by how much of its averaging ball can see both endpoints, is at
most `C·|f|²_{H_k}`. Everything else here exhibits sets of pairs on which that
weight is bounded below:
* **dimension two**: `sobolevInclusion_planar`, `formHs_ball_ne_top_of_planar`,
`formHs_ball_le_form_planar`, `theoremOneOneBallCondMeas_two`,
`formHs_le_form_planar`, `Hk_ball_eq_Hs_ball_planar`,
`formHs_univ_le_form_univ_planar`, `Hk_univ_eq_Hs_univ_planar`,
`Hk_domain_eq_Hs_domain_planar` — Theorems 1.1 and 1.4 in the plane, granted
the Whitney/Dyda input Lemma A.1 quotes;
* **dimension one**: `formHs_le_form_dim_one`, where every cone is `ℝ ∖ {0}`;
* **small axis spread** — the cone axes at most `γ` apart as lines with
`γ < 2ϑ`: `sobolevInclusion_of_axisSpread` and the chain behind it
(`formHs_ball_le_form_spread`, `Hk_univ_eq_Hs_univ_spread`,
`Hk_domain_eq_Hs_domain_spread`). **Wide cones** (apex above `π/4`) are the
case `γ = π/2`, and `sobolevInclusion_wide` is now derived from it;
* **pairwise overlapping cone types**: `sobolevInclusion_of_overlapping`, with
`exists_narrow_overlapping_cones_without_common_direction` showing that this
is strictly weaker than a common direction;
* **a densely visible type**, and its exact reach:
`formHs_le_form_of_visibleDense`, `formHs_le_form_of_ae_commonDirection`;
* **local domination**, where the dominating type may vary from pair to pair:
`LocallyDominatedRad`, `formHs_ball_le_form_locallyDominated`, together with
two families that satisfy it — every uniformly continuous configuration
(`formHs_ball_le_form_of_uniformContinuous`) and two arbitrary narrow cone
types split by a hyperplane (`formHs_ball_le_form_twoSide`);
* **every admissible configuration**, up to one condition on `f`: there is an
explicit measurable domination radius `ρ > 0`
(`exists_measurable_dominationRadius`) with Theorem 1.1's enlarged-ball form
for every `f` such that `∫ f²ρ^{-α} < ∞`
(`formHs_ball_le_form_of_dominationRadius`).
`planar_hypotheses_nonvacuous` and `wide_hypotheses_nonvacuous` record that none
of this is vacuous.
## What this file does not prove
The general narrow case in dimension three and above: cones of apex at most `π/4`
whose types neither overlap nor are locally dominated. What is missing there is
precisely the size of the domination radius — that `∫ f²ρ^{-α} < ∞` for every
`f ∈ H_k`. Two thin double cones with skew axes need not meet at all, so one
intermediate point cannot suffice and genuinely longer chains would be required;
producing them, with a uniform bound on the length and with positive measure at
every link, is the continuous analogue of the paper's §§5–6. The paper
establishes that machinery only in the discrete setting — which is precisely why
it goes through `ℤ^d` — and reproducing it in the continuum is an open research
problem, not a gap in this formalisation.

/-! ## Lemma 2.2 at an arbitrary aperture
The proof of Lemma 2.2 uses `ϑ/3` only through `2·(ϑ/3) ≤ ϑ`; a net of mesh
`ϑ − θ` gives reference cones of any aperture `θ < ϑ`, at the cost of a larger
family. Nothing in the paper needs this; it is infrastructure for what follows. -/
/-! ## The averaging set, explicitly
For the chaining average one needs the ball of common neighbours as an explicit
function of `(s,t)` — a measurable selection is not enough, since the estimate
must be integrated in `s` and `t`. The centre is an explicit continuous
function, which is what the next definition records. -/Formal statement
