Compact Embedding D(E_λ) ↪ L²(I) #
Defines sequential L² compactness and the form-norm ball (graph-norm bounded, compactly supported). Proves translation equicontinuity of the form-norm ball via the Kolmogorov-Riesz criterion and derives the compact embedding result.

Sequential L² compactness #
Sequential compactness in L²: every sequence in K has a subsequence converging in L² norm to some limit function.
This is the sequential characterization of relative compactness in L², used as the target property for the Kolmogorov-Riesz theorem.

Form-norm ball #
The form-norm ball: functions supported in I = [−log λ, log λ] with bounded graph norm ‖φ‖² + E_λ(φ) ≤ M.
This is the unit ball of the graph norm restricted to functions supported in the interval I. The Kolmogorov-Riesz theorem will show this set is relatively compact in L²(I).

Kolmogorov-Riesz criterion and compact embedding #
Kolmogorov-Riesz compactness criterion for compactly supported L² functions. If K is a set of functions supported in [−R, R] with uniformly bounded L² norms and translation equicontinuity, then K is relatively compact in L².
Soundness: Preconditions (compact support, uniform L² bound, translation equicontinuity) are the three standard hypotheses of Kolmogorov-Riesz (Brezis, Corollary 4.27). No structure parameters.
Reference: Brezis, Corollary 4.27. The compact support condition subsumes the general tightness condition.
The form-norm ball satisfies translation equicontinuity: for any ε > 0, there exists δ > 0 such that all φ in the form-norm ball satisfy ‖τ_h φ − φ‖₂² < ε whenever |h| < δ.
Soundness: Preconditions are 1 < cutoffLambda and M < ⊤ (finite
energy bound), matching Lemma 13's hypotheses. No structure parameters.
Reference: lamportform.tex, Lemma 13 (lines 1078–1127). Uses Plancherel and frequency splitting to convert the form-norm bound into equicontinuity.
Proved theorems #
The zero function belongs to the form-norm ball for any M ≥ 0.
The form-norm ball is nonempty (contains the zero function).
The form-norm ball is monotone in M: if M ≤ M', then B(M) ⊆ B(M').
Every element of the form-norm ball (with M < ⊤) belongs to the form domain.
The form-norm ball is relatively compact in L²: the compact embedding D(E_λ) ↪ L²(I). Combines the Kolmogorov-Riesz criterion with the translation equicontinuity of the form-norm ball.
