This is a formal Lean bridge, not a theorem stated verbatim in Candes--Recht. It connects the source-backed pointwise mean-tail theorem quadratic_neumann_middle_index_distinct_mean_coefficient_pointwise_tail_from_kernel_square_base_bounds_min_dim with the source-backed shifted union-bound theorem quadratic_neumann_middle_index_distinct_mean_coefficients_uniform_from_shifted_pointwise_tails for the mean part of the middle-index-distinct quadratic Neumann term. Source location: Candes--Recht, Exact matrix completion via convex optimization, Section 6.3, proof of Lemma 4.6, PDF p. 30 equation (6.20) for the partition of the cubic Neumann sum, and PDF pp. 32--33 for the third term omega_1 = omega_3 != omega_2; the coordinate-union pattern follows the same Section 6.2 mechanism, PDF p. 29 after equation (6.17).

Let M be an n_1 x n_2 rank-r matrix with SVD data S satisfying A0(S, mu_0) and A1(S, mu_1). Here mu_0 controls singular-vector coherence, mu_1 controls the sign-matrix entry scale, n = max(n_1,n_2), and p = m/(n_1 n_2). In the Bernoulli model, Omega includes each coordinate independently with probability p, and bernoulliEventProb(p, E) is the probability of event E. The parameter beta > 2 controls failure rate n^{-beta}, and lambda >= 1 is the density slack parameter.

Assume the mean coefficient identity for every coordinate w_1, and assume the corrected min-dimension kernel-square base bounds

\\|B_{w_1}\\|_\\infty \\le C_{\\rm entry}\\mu_0^2 (r/\\min(n_1,n_2))^2,

and

∣Bw1∣FleCrmfromu03/2(r/min(n1,n2))3/2.\\|B_{w_1}\\|_F \\le C_{\\rm fro}\\mu_0^{3/2}(r/\\min(n_1,n_2))^{3/2}.∣Bw1​​∣F​leCrmfro​mu03/2​(r/min(n1​,n2​))3/2.

This bridge deliberately requires both the ordinary density floor

mgelambda,mu04/3,n,r4/3,betalognm \\ge \\lambda\\,\\mu_0^{4/3}\\,n\\,r^{4/3}\\,\\beta\\log nmgelambda,mu04/3​,n,r4/3,betalogn

and the shifted density floor

mgelambda,mu04/3,n,r4/3,(beta+2)logn.m \\ge \\lambda\\,\\mu_0^{4/3}\\,n\\,r^{4/3}\\,(\\beta+2)\\log n.mgelambda,mu04/3​,n,r4/3,(beta+2)logn.

The shifted hypothesis is used to apply the pointwise theorem with parameter beta+2, giving per-coordinate failure n^{-(beta+2)} before the n_1 n_2 <= n^2 union bound. Because the mean pointwise scale contains sqrt(beta log n), this bridge also absorbs sqrt((beta+2) log n) <= sqrt(2) sqrt(beta log n) for beta > 2 by enlarging the universal pointwise constant.

Under these hypotheses, there exist positive constants Ccoef and ccoef, depending only on the supplied base-bound constants, such that

mathbbPpforallw1,∣Hw1(Omega)∣leCrmcoefbetalogn(mu0nr/m)3/2ge1−crmcoefn−beta.\\mathbb P_p\\{\\forall w_1, |H_{w_1}(\\Omega)| \\le C_{\\rm coef}\sqrt{\\beta\\log n}(\\mu_0 n r/m)^{3/2}\\} \\ge 1-c_{\\rm coef}n^{-\\beta}.mathbbPp​forallw1​,∣Hw1​​(Omega)∣leCrmcoef​betalogn​(mu0​nr/m)3/2ge1−crmcoef​n−beta.

In Lean this is the event QuadraticMiddleIndexDistinctMeanCoefficientBound Omega S p (...). This node records the explicit beta+2 density requirement and should not be cited as eliminating that requirement.
