Unitary-orbit estimates for orthogonal block sums #
The orthogonal block sum of A : Eโ โโ[๐] Fโ and B : Eโ โโ[๐] Fโ is Mathlib's
(A.prodMap B).withLpMap 2, acting componentwise on the Hilbert Lยฒ products. No separate
block-sum construction is needed.
Two-sided unitary orbits and their convex hulls are stable under block sums. Consequently, Ky Fan domination on each block implies domination of the block sum, both for Ky Fan sums and for every rectangular unitarily invariant seminorm. These estimates combine independent bounds on orthogonal pieces without increasing their constants.
The orbit and orbit-hull statements require neither finite dimension nor completeness. Only the consequences using Fan dominance require finite-dimensional spaces.
On the spectral side, the adjoint and the Gram operator are formed blockwise, so the eigenspaces
of the Gram operator of A โ B are products of those of A and B: every positive singular
value of A โ B occurs as often as in A and B together. In particular the doubled block
A โ A repeats each singular value of A twice, and its Ky Fan sums are Kโโ(A โ A) = 2 Kโ(A).

The eigenspace of a block sum of endomorphisms is the product of the eigenspaces of the blocks, so its dimension is the sum of their dimensions.
Block sums of points in two-sided unitary orbits lie in the orbit of the block sum.
Convex unitary-orbit bounds on two blocks combine into the same bound on their orthogonal block sum.
Ky Fan domination on each block implies Ky Fan domination on the orthogonal block sum.
