General Weights

$K (ρ, a) = (1 - ρ) (1 - H)$ where $H$ is the Herfindahl index. Unequal weights reduce effective curvature.

Importance: Important supporting result. K(rho,a)=(1-rho)(1-H) generalizes the equal-weight curvature to arbitrary weights. All nine roles scale proportionally. Secular equation for eigenvalues.
Novelty: New result connecting Herfindahl index to CES curvature. The secular equation for general-weight eigenvalues is a new mathematical contribution.
Quality: Clear exposition of weight effects, Herfindahl connection, secular equation. Well-linked.
