Lifting a three-coordinate Hlawka bound to every finite real dimension
ProvedHlawkaSchatten.DiagonalConstruction.real_bound_of_fin_threeFor a finite index set and a real vector , write (lpNorm) for the coordinate -norm. For real vectors on a common index set, write the triple deficit
and the pair-deficit sum for the sum of the three pair deficits over . Say has Hlawka constant (HasHlawkaConstant) when
Let be any finite index set, , and . Suppose has Hlawka constant on three real coordinates:
Then has Hlawka constant on too:
This is the dimension-independence half of the sharp diagonal construction on the real side: an admissible Hlawka constant for three real coordinates is automatically admissible in every finite real dimension, with no dependence on the size of . Combined with the fact that the explicit cyclic constant (cyclicConstant; is the ratio of triple deficit to pair-deficit sum for the triple ) is such a three-coordinate constant for every real (established elsewhere) and the later complex transfer step, this is what allows the Hlawka bound with constant for diagonal Schatten -norms to hold in every finite dimension, including dimension zero.
Formalization Note ranges over an arbitrary finite type (via a Fintype instance), not just Fin n, and may be empty.

# Reduction of a failed bound to three real coordinates
Common coordinate weights preserve the three pair power sums. The positive
part of the target inequality is concave in these weights, so the sparse
minimizer lemma reduces the question to at most three nonzero coordinates.
