Lower bound for the complex Grothendieck constant

The paper proves KGC>1.35584631827168. K_G^{\mathbb{C}}>1.35584631827168. The previously recorded Davie lower bound is approximately 1.338071.33807, while Haagerup's upper bound is approximately 1.404911.40491. Thus the result closes more than one quarter of the remaining lower-to-upper-bound gap, but it does not determine the exact value of the complex Grothendieck constant. The construction uses finitely many additional complex Hermite projections together with a common radial weight to obtain a dimension-independent L∞L_{\infty}-to-L1L_1 estimate. The numerical inequalities needed for the final bound are certified by interval arithmetic. The paper also analyzes the limit of its particular weighted criterion. If K∗\mathcal{K}_* denotes the supremum obtainable within that framework, it proves 1.35584631827168<K∗<1.35584697425050. 1.35584631827168<\mathcal{K}_*<1.35584697425050. The upper endpoint here is a limitation of this specific criterion, not an upper bound on KGCK_G^{\mathbb{C}} itself.
