Exact criteria for ground-state overlap dominance and dynamical quantum phase transitions

The paper establishes an exact condition for when a final state after a sudden quench is the unique maximal-overlap eigenstate in free-fermion systems that factorize into momentum sectors. This dominance occurs if and only if all sectorwise Bloch vector overlaps between initial and final states are positive, providing a concrete criterion for overlap ordering.
