Reason: New: Cauchy-Schwarz for the Euclidean dot product, specializing the published positive-semidefinite form at the identity matrix. Fills a gap in the elementary norm toolkit used throughout the fluctuation chain.

Statement

Let $n$ be a natural number, and let $x,y$ be points of Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^n$ . Write $x\cdot y$ for the dot product, $\lVert\,\cdot\,\rVert$ for the Euclidean norm, and $|\cdot|$ for the absolute value on the real numbers, with the order of their ordered field structure. Then

|x\cdot y|\ \le\ \lVert x\rVert\,\lVert y\rVert .
