Is there a theorem in mathlib stating that the dot product of vector x with itself equals the square of the magnitude of x? And does mathlib include relevant concepts and properties of positive semi-definite matrices?

Maybe docs#real_inner_self_eq_norm_sq is what you need?

That should have been Norm.norm not Norm. :sweat_smile:

But the last query is probably better anyway.
