Overview

Abstract

We prove a uniform positive bound for an actual compensated permanent derivative on the entire rank-one conjugate-disjoint locus of centered complex positive semidefinite matrices of order six. With trace r, the bound is [1248-(1672/3)√2]r^4>459r^4 for nonzero matrices, without equal-modulus or phase restrictions. The proof derives an exact paired-moment identity and cancels its difficult signed cubic moment against ten times the same ordinary omission variance. Centered projection and moment bounds then pay the remainder. We also prove the sharp bound (14688-208√2)r^4 on the full two-direction cube-root family, including unequal norms, arbitrary complex overlaps and singular endpoints, together with a sharp spectrum-resolved variance tradeoff. The earlier explicit Lipschitz estimate gives full-dimensional neighborhoods and quantitative exclusion of the rank-one boundary from the rank-two extension.

Scope of the work

Uniform rank-one conjugate-disjoint compensation through exact variance cancellation, together with a sharp bound and equality classification for the full two-direction cube-root family.
