IYEORI VII: Sharp Singular-Value Asymptotics for Nearly Square Fourier Submatrices, Projected Cauchy Operators, and Asymptotically Optimal Low-Rank Inverse Compression

IYEORI VII presents a mathematical research release on Fourier submatrix conditioning, projected Cauchy operators, low-rank inverse approximation, and exact principal-minor nonsingularity. It combines a sharp spectral hierarchy for nearly square Fourier matrices with a general moment theorem, an explicit asymptotically optimal compressed inverse, and a complete classification of principal minors in the infinite order-(13p) family. The current focused manuscript, IYEORI_Complete_Fourier_Results.pdf, is a 24-page paper containing the new results and their proofs. The accompanying 50-page IYEORI_Fourier_Research.pdf preserves the earlier supporting theory and structured reconstruction algorithms. The research package includes both manuscripts, standalone LaTeX sources, Python implementations, exact finite certificates, proof-audit notes, and high-precision numerical records. Research version: Revision 7, 2 November 2026 1. Sharp singular-value asymptotics for nearly square Fourier blocks For the unnormalized contiguous (q×(q+d)) Fourier block[AN,q,d=(e2π i rj/N)0≤ r<q,;0≤ j<q+d,]the manuscript determines every fixed smallest positive singular value. Let (d,k) be fixed nonnegative integers, assume (q/N→α∈(0,1)), and set[β_N=q+d/2/N.]With positive singular values ordered increasingly, the sharp asymptotic formula is[σₖ₊₁(AN,q,d)~2√2,N,e-NΦ(β_N){(4N/π)k+d/2}{√k!(k+d)!},]where[Φ(a)=2π∫_0π a/2log t,dt.] The result includes the exponential rate, polynomial power, and multiplicative constant. It is uniform on compact ranges of the block fraction for each fixed excess and spectral index. The actual midpoint fraction (β_N), including integer rounding, remains in the exponential. Tall blocks follow by transposition; unitary Fourier normalization divides the singular values by (√ N). The square case (d=k=0) recovers[κ_2(AN,q,0)~{eNΦ(q/N)}{√8N},]including the signed logarithmic constant (-12log8). The rectangular theorem extends the analysis from one least singular value to a hierarchy at every fixed smallest index and every fixed side difference. 2. A general moment theorem for projected Cauchy operators The proof develops an operator framework that treats rectangular interpolation ambiguity as an exact polynomial quotient. Projection removes polynomial directions that leave the observations unchanged. Bordered Cauchy Gram determinants express exterior-power traces, while limiting orthogonal-polynomial moments determine the leading spectral constants. The general theorem accommodates two concentrating measures, including discrete and continuous models, under explicit support-separation, moment-convergence, and nondegeneracy assumptions. A dimension-independent separation estimate converts exterior-power sums into individual singular-value asymptotics, allowing the ambient dimension to grow. For the Fourier application, removable-pole estimates and Gaussian tail bounds justify the passage from exact determinant identities to sharp constants. The framework provides a reusable method for studying spectral hierarchies arising from concentrated interpolation kernels. 3. Constructive asymptotically optimal inverse compression For square contiguous Fourier blocks with (q≤ N/2), with (q/N) bounded away from zero, and for every fixed rank (r), the manuscript constructs an explicit rank-(r) approximation (B_r) to the inverse (B). Its interpolation points are selected from Hermite roots and actual Fourier nodes. The construction attains the optimal leading approximation error in both operator and Frobenius norms. Its relative operator error satisfies[|B-B_r|_2/|B|_2~ r!(π/4N)^r.] Once the fixed-rank interpolation points are supplied, preparation takes (O(qr+r^3)) scalar-arithmetic operations, storage takes (O(qr+r^2)), and application takes (O(qr+r^2)). Setup and repeated application are therefore linear in block size for fixed rank. The release includes a reusable mpmath implementation and comparisons with dense-SVD optimal errors. These are arithmetic and operator-norm results; they do not assert fixed-precision stability, a bit-complexity bound, or small relative solution error for every individual right-hand side. 4. Complete principal-minor classification for Fourier order (13p) A separate arithmetic theorem proves that, for every prime (p), all principal minors of (F₁₃ₚ) are nonzero if and only if (p≠13). The principal index set is arbitrary, with no support-symmetry, sparsity, or bounded-defect restriction. At (p=13), an explicit singular two-point principal minor gives the negative direction. The proof combines selective cyclotomic lifting, an exact order-thirteen norm inventory, and a complete-flag calculation in characteristic (53). Independently implemented determinant, norm, and chart calculations agree on the finite certificates. The classification implies uniqueness for every matched coordinate–Fourier measurement pattern at the permitted orders. It does not supply a general fast decoder for arbitrary patterns. Reproducibility and computational evidence The analytic theorems are accompanied by 48 directly computed spectral cases at 100 decimal digits, covering Fourier orders (N=32,64,96,128), row fractions (1/4,1/2,3/4), excesses (d=0,1,2,3), and the lowest four positive singular values in each case. This gives 192 fixed-index comparisons. A 140-digit repeat checks numerical precision consistency. A separate polynomial-kernel projection agrees with the SVD Moore-Penrose inverse to relative error approximately (1.4×10⁻⁹⁸) in its small audit case. Fifteen compression cases compare the explicit approximation with the optimal operator and Frobenius errors obtained from dense SVD. The linear preparation formulas are also checked against independently multiplied polynomial root products. The principal-minor certificate uses exact arithmetic, including 98,304 direct prime-field Gaussian eliminations in an independent verification route. The package distinguishes analytic proofs, exact finite certificates, and numerical illustrations. Finite examples check implementation consistency; they do not establish an asymptotic limit. Reproduction scripts, saved JSON records, and integrity manifests are supplied. Scope and research relevance The principal asymptotic results concern fixed excess, fixed spectral index, fixed compression rank, and block fractions away from the endpoints. Growing-excess rectangular asymptotics, an increasing spectral index, the full spectral transition region, and the unrestricted square-free Fourier principal-minor conjecture remain outside the stated theorems. Historical priority is not established by the bounded literature comparison. The methods and records are relevant to numerical linear algebra, Fourier analysis, polynomial interpolation, inverse problems, singular-value perturbation theory, low-rank approximation, orthogonal polynomials, and computational algebra.
