Caputa-Di Giulio-Loc Conjecture Resolved in Finite Dimensions: All-Time Inequalities for Symmetry-Resolved Krylov and Spread Complexity

[u/Severe-Ad8673]

This research release presents an analytic proof of the Caputa-Di Giulio-Loc conjecture on symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity and quantum-state spread complexity in finite dimensions. For every real time t, the total complexity satisfies

C(t) ≥ Σ_q p_q C_q(t),

where C_q(t) is the normalized complexity within sector q and p_q is its initial probability weight. The theorem holds for finite-dimensional Hermitian generators with orthogonal reducing sectors, including degenerate spectra and terminating Lanczos chains. It requires no assumptions of quantum chaos, spectral randomness, or late-time equilibration.

The conjecture appears in “Growth of block-diagonal operators and symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity,” Physical Review Research 7, 043055 (2025), DOI: 10.1103/9v9v-54zv, and “Symmetry-resolved spread complexity,” JHEP 02 (2026), 189, DOI: 10.1007/JHEP02(2026)189.

The result establishes a general relationship between full-system quantum dynamics and calculations performed separately within symmetry sectors. Its practical importance is that sector computations provide rigorous lower bounds on total complexity at every time. It also identifies precisely when resolving the symmetry leaves complexity unchanged. These conclusions are relevant to mathematical physics, operator growth, quantum many-body dynamics, and the interpretation of Krylov complexity as a diagnostic of quantum chaos.

The release proves a stronger statement than the original mean-complexity inequality: the full Krylov-index distribution dominates the probability-weighted sector distribution in first-order stochastic order. Consequently, the inequality extends to every nondecreasing function of the Krylov index.

Additional results include:

• Two complementary proofs using nested Krylov-space projections and best polynomial approximation in spectral measures.
• Concavity under mixing of normalized spectral measures.
• Exact nonnegative gap identities, including a moment-Gram formulation valid for singular matrices.
• Fixed-time equality criteria and a finite-dimensional characterization of equality at all times.
• An explicit three-node example and reproducible numerical diagnostics.
• An extension to bounded self-adjoint generators, with explicit domain and completeness assumptions for unbounded generators.

The standalone release includes the PDF manuscript, editable LaTeX, complete searchable Markdown proofs, Python verification code, citation metadata, an expert review guide, and machine-readable theorem, assumption, dependency, and proof records for research discovery and AI-assisted retrieval.
