First-high finite telescoping identities #
This file records the purely algebraic finite-slot decomposition used before
the probabilistic Wick expansion. If every slot splits as
full i = low i + high i, the product (or any multilinear expression) is the
all-low term plus a sum indexed by the first high slot: slots before i are
low, slot i is high, and slots after i remain full.
The product identity is the order-dual form of Finset.prod_add_ordered.
The multilinear identity is proved directly by induction on the number of
slots. Neither statement has any analytic or probabilistic hypotheses.
The first-high orientation of Finset.prod_add_ordered.
The summand at i has a low prefix, a high factor at i, and the unsplit
full suffix. Passing to OrderDual ι turns mathlib's last-high orientation
into this one.
A finite product split at its first high slot.
This is the form consumed by the finite-slot Wick telescope: the index is the original slot index, not a permutation or a reversed index.
A multilinear expression split at its first high slot.
Only additivity in each slot is used. In particular this applies directly to the deterministic multilinear carrier underneath a finite Wick expression.
