What the math gives to ML

The paper proves a sharp coercivity inequality for higher-order discrete fields: discrete derivative energy controls an inverse-radial weighted L2 norm, with asymptotic constant 2^ell d^ell in lattice dimension d. The transferable asset is a dimension-aware barrier against feature concentration near a designated anchor in grid-indexed neural representations. A practical adaptation is a Hardy-weighted regularizer for CNN feature maps, neural fields, or lattice embeddings, optionally combined with a zero-mean projection and a discrete Laplacian penalty.

Hardy barrier for lattice feature fields

Treat a spatial feature map or lattice-indexed embedding as a function on a d-dimensional discrete grid and penalize excessive concentration near a chosen anchor using the inverse-radial Hardy weight. Calibrate the penalty with the theorem's high-dimensional scaling 2^ell d^ell instead of selecting an arbitrary spatial L2 coefficient.
