 Though the value of $\delta$ is bounded by $\Delta$ by $|\delta|\leq\Delta$, in
 reality this bound is not the relevant one, because we are confined on the

+manifold $N=z^2$. This bound is most easily established by returning to a
+$2N$-dimensional real problem, with $x=x_1$ and $z=x_2+iy_2$. The constraint gives $x_2^Ty_2=0$, $x_1^Tx_1=1$, and $x_2^Tx_2=1+y_2^Ty_2$. Then
+\begin{equation}
+  \Delta=1+x_2^Tx_2+y_2^Ty_2-2x_1^Tx_2=2(1+y_2^Ty_2-x_1^Tx_2)
+\end{equation}
+\begin{equation}
+  \Delta=2(1+|y_2|^2-\sqrt{1-|y_2|^2}\cos\theta_{xx})

+\begin{eqnarray}
+  \delta&=2-2x_1^Tx_2-2ix_1^Ty_2=2(1-|x_2|\cos\theta_{xx}-i|y_2|\cos\theta_{xy}) \\

+These equations along with the inequality produce the required bound on $|\delta|$ as a function of $\Delta$ and $\arg\delta$.
