Abstract

We study stability theory in Hilbert spaces quantitatively. We prove that the inner product on the unit ball is (k,ϵ)(k,\epsilon)-stable for all kexp(π/ϵ)k\ge \exp(\pi/\epsilon), and it is not (k,ϵ)(k,\epsilon)-stable for kexp(log2/ϵ)k\le \exp(\log 2/\epsilon), showing that the growth is necessarily exponential in 1/ϵ1/\epsilon. We then analyze how stability scales under nonlinear connectives applied to the inner product. In particular, for power-type predicates f(x,y)=x,y+βf(x,y)=\langle x,y\rangle_+^\beta with β<1\beta<1 we obtain upper and lower bounds of the form exp(Cϵ1/β)\exp(C\epsilon^{-1/\beta}), and for β>1\beta>1 and integer powers x,yd\langle x,y\rangle^d we retain the bilinear scale exp(C/ϵ)\exp(C/\epsilon).
