the actual gap. The same switch pays this loss by increasing k in (RT6). Thus (RT7) holds on i = l. On i ̸= l, bound the additional l-profile by its supremum Cλ−wl. The resulting bound has exponent η −wl. This proves the line estimate even when the time-axis cluster is not collapsed.

For a diagonal stress reading a further estimate is necessary. Subtract its finite position Taylor jet with a cutoffequal to one at zero. The remainder vanishes to the required order: repeated integration along the segment from zero bounds its k-th derivative by C|x|m when derivatives k, . . . , k + m −1 vanish. Tensor products of these subtractions preserve reflection parities. Conservation, followed by integration by parts on these tests, gives the three tested frequency expressions

On profiles of width at most W = λa, a ≤0, the remainders have respectively bounds O(W 4) and O(W 6), with an arbitrarily small exponent loss. On profiles with the prescribed zero moments the remainder is exactly zero: it is a finite contact Taylor jet and each of its moments is zero.

Apply (RT4) at widths W, 2W to A, B, C. After division by W 2k at levels k = 0, 1, 2, denote their six band readings by a, b, v, V, r, R, and their residual differences by f, g, h. The positive spectral responses have signs f ≥0, g ≤0, h ≥0. Equations (RT8) and the two-band subtraction give small bounds for

These imply a bound for f with the same exponent. Indeed if the sum of the seven absolute errors
is e, these equalities within error e imply a −b ≥−e, a −4b ≤3e, a −16b ≥5(−e); eliminating a, b
bounds f by 100e. In the exact case they force a = b = f = 0; the numerical factor safely bounds
the finite error elimination. The constant-moment term of each interpolant cancels between W and

This deduction uses positivity of spectral measures and of the indicated scalar responses. It does not differentiate a positive matrix or posit positivity of its derivatives.

Now approximate the plane Killing field xaeb −xbea by compactly supported smooth vector
fields. Choose frequency widths λ−100 on axes a, b, λ−150 on the remaining line direction if present,
and λ−300 on the other axes. An odd primitive in direction a, multiplied by λ100, and its partner
with a, b interchanged give the two components. Their derivatives in the a, b pair agree exactly.
Since Jab = Jba, these two terms in P
i,j ∂iFjJij cancel before any integral is split. The remaining

Split each such tested spectral integral into E ≤1 with transverse frequencies inside the box
widened by λ, and its complement. On the complement, the Schwartz bound of order k gives an
arbitrary factor λ−k in a transverse direction. For E > 1 the actual exterior time gap gives e−E/λw;
for every fixed R, M this is at most λ−Me−RE, eventually. The finite damped moments from (RT3)
then pay the whole complement. Inside the box use (RT2) with the two reciprocal weights from
(RT7) for shear components, and (RT7),(RT9) for a diagonal component. Split the latter once more
at E = λ−3000. Below that threshold (including zero), the large gain in the line estimate pays a
crude stress bound; above it (RT9) applies. With the stated widths these estimates, including the
primitive amplitude λ100, leave a bound Cλ−1. Thus the exterior flux tends to zero.

Continuity proves the same inequality at zero; on 0 ≤E ≤1, (RT5) follows with cm = 2−3m. The fixed subtraction band s ≥1 and the shrinking primary width w are distinct. At high energy the product upper bound gives, for q ≤2m, a bound Cm,q(w−1 + sq)(1 + E)−q. These are the precise positive majorants used in the parity switch. For an arbitrary profile of either parity, a nonnegative even compact majorant and the odd division construction bound its subtracted response by a constant times an even response of this form.

The exterior-word integral of D−3000 has exponent u ≤150: u = 1 if d = l, and u = −(1 + wl) + 1 otherwise, by the line estimate. For a shear stress, the stress integral of Dwd has exponent one. The squared response is at most C2λ2(3+wd)D−3000Dwd, by e−E/λwd ≤λwd/(E + λwd). Weighted Cauchy–Schwarz therefore gives exponent 3 + wd + (u + 1)/2. If d = l, then u = 1 and wd ≤−150, giving at most −146. If d ̸= l, a, b, then wd = −300 and u ≤150, giving at most −221.5. These exhaust the shear case d ̸= a, b; both bounds are stronger than exponent −101. If d = b, split instead at E = λ−3000. On the upper part use Z−99. Its stress integral has exponent 1 + 4(−99) = −395, by (RT9) with slack one, and the squared response is at most C2λ6D−3000Z−99. The resulting exponent is at most 3+(150−395)/2 < −101. On the lower part use the crude stress weight D0, whose integral has exponent at most 3·300 = 900. The squared response is at most C2λ2(3−1500)D−3000D0, giving exponent at most 3−1500+(150+900)/2 < −101. These pointwise estimates are valid on the nonnegative spectrum and include E = 0. The complement of the low box has arbitrary negative exponent by the damped moments and Schwartz tails discussed after (RT9). Thus the spectral reading has exponent −101. Multiplying by the angular primitive’s λ100 leaves exponent −1, as claimed in (RT0c). Decomposition into the finitely many reflection parities preserves the bound; parity-mismatched terms integrate to zero by reflecting their odd axis.

The compact cutoffflux identity is therefore (RT1) equal to zero for every separated tuple on a coordinate line. Translation along that line changes Kxlby the fixed vector Kel and leaves the correlation unchanged. Subtracting the two angular identities gives the corresponding sum of the translation shell maps equal to zero. Empty tuples give empty sums throughout.

The order of choices in the spectral sign walk

We record the quantitative induction that supplies the small mixed-band bound in (RT6). Let Q be the finite set of axes being tested, with two signs assigned so that each axis has an opposite-sign partner. Let U ⊆Q be the axes whose width exponent is still allowed to be negative, and let i be the active axis. A finite route alternates signs and removes the currently visited axis from U. Such a route exists by induction on |U|: if the active axis is in U, remove it and move to an opposite partner. If it is not, choose an axis still in U; reach it directly if its sign is opposite, and otherwise take one opposite-sign detour. This reduces the nonempty set after at most two such moves.

The induction statement is uniform in a width vector w with −K ≤wj ≤a, wi ≤d, and wj ≥0 outside U, for every 0 ≤d ≤a. It asserts a residual budget δ > 0 after sufficiently high moment order, for nonnegative even compact profiles and all fixed support factors. If U is empty, the direct spectral moment bound of order zero has a finite price exponent D. Choose a > 0 with aD < δ. The nonnegative widths then pay its residual by that budget.

At an induction step from axis i to an opposite-sign axis j, first obtain the future bandwidth a′ > 0 from the induction hypothesis for U \ {i}. Put p = K|Q \ {i, j}| and z = max(K, δ). Choose an integer k > (p + z)/a′. (RSW1)

Only now purchase the moment estimate of order k, with its finite price exponent D, and choose 0 < a < a′ with aD < δ. The positive profile majorant constructed by the finite interpolant bounds the baked profile and keeps the remainder nonnegative on the spectral half-line. The far part of the two-axis comparison has exponent at most

−2ka′ + p + max(−wi, dD) ≤−2ka′ + p + z < 0.
(RSW2)
Source page 309.
Searchable transcription
−2ka′ + p + max(−wi, dD) ≤−2ka′ + p + z < 0.
(RSW2)

The near part is paid by the future hypothesis after replacing the active profile by that majorant and its exponent by the nonnegative d. The two residuals have nonnegative spectral integrands. The signed comparison inequality from (RT5) therefore bounds their sum by the two paid positive quantities; no spectrum is transferred from one axis to another. Moment orders and thresholds can be enlarged to their maximum. Induction along the finite route gives the bound for arbitrary initial nonpositive widths, with one sufficiently small positive a. This explains why the future bandwidth is chosen before the present moment order and why the contact-price exponent is chosen before the present final bandwidth. It supplies the precise quantifiers behind the mixed-band estimate used to derive the collinear Ward identities.

Normalized two-band diagonal estimate

For clarity, the six normalized readings used in (RT8)–(RT9) have the following common normalization. Let W = λa, a ≤0, and let q(pW) k denote the order-k profile from (RT4) at width pW, with all other profiles fixed. Put

a0 = Re A(q(W)
0
),
b0 = Re A(q(2W)
0
),
Source page 309.
Searchable transcription
a0 = Re A(q(W)
0
),
b0 = Re A(q(2W)
0
),

v = W −2 Re B(q(W) 1 ), V = W −2 Re B(q(2W) 1 ), r = W −4 Re C(q(W) 2 ), R = W −4 Re C(q(2W) 2 ). (DB1) The normalization on the second band is still by W, not by 2W. Multiplication of the order-k + 1 profile by the frequency square gives (pW)2 times its order-k predecessor. Consequently (RT8) gives small errors for v −a0, V −4b0, r −v, R −4V . The first contact error has unnormalized order W 4, the second order W 6; their respective normalizations leave order W 2, including the arbitrary small exponent slack. The zero-moment contact subtraction has the same bound: its constant interpolation coefficient cancels between the two bands, and every nonconstant even coefficient has at least a factor W 2. Let f, g, h be the real spectral gap readings at these three orders, normalized by 1, W −2, W −4. Their signs are f ≥0, g ≤0, h ≥0. The difference between a gap profile and its two-band difference is exactly the finite interpolation debris just bounded. Hence the additional errors f −(a0 −b0), g − (v −V ), h −(r −R) have the same small budget. Let K be the sum of the absolute values of these seven errors. From g ≤0 we get a0 −4b0 ≤3K; from h ≥0 we get a0 −16b0 ≥−8K. Therefore 12b0 ≤11K, and 0 ≤f ≤a0 −b0 + K ≤3b0 + 4K ≤7K ≤100K. (DB2)

Finite sums and fixed scalar multiples preserve the budget exponent, so (DB2) proves the small diagonal gap bound. This is the algebraic step in (RT9); it needs positivity of the three response signs and the contact bounds, and makes no positivity claim for the six individual band readings.

Ward kernel transfer and the rotation action

We explain how these identities extend to general tuples and to a group action. Differentiating a shell integral is allowed because its fixed compact annulus remains separated under small movements of the distinguished point. Differentiation acts both on the correlation and on the centered

angular coefficient. The latter derivative is the relevant constant translation coefficient. Hence
every position derivative of a line Ward test is again a finite sum of line Ward tests for successor-
degree labels. The all-order scaling comparison (WS7) transports these tests to the free quotient,
where the translation and angular actions are explicit derivatives of polynomials. Finitely many
separated reading maps suffice at each finite degree, by the detector argument in (WS4)–(WS5).
Their matrices converge to injective free matrices. This transfers the free rank statements for the
spaces of possible internal defects and forces any such defect to vanish. Thus the translation shell
map is one positive scalar c times the already constructed derivative, and the angular rows, divided
by c, satisfy the Ward identity at every separated tuple.

The finite-dimensional rank arguments just used have two different domains. For translation
rows, the domain at cap d is the real subspace of Q4
i=1 HomC(Fd, Fd+1) consisting of rows that kill
the unit, preserve each lower filtered image, commute with conjugation, and transform as a vector
under signed permutations. A reading is a position derivative at a fixed separated collinear tuple of
the Ward sum P
lS(v1, . . . , Tivl, . . . , vn). The free readings have common kernel precisely the real
line spanned by the derivative row. Select finitely many such readings by minimizing the dimension
of their common kernel. Adjoining a further reading cannot lower that minimal dimension, so this
finite kernel already equals the full kernel. Pullback by Uk turns the physical readings into matrices
on this one fixed real space; their convergence is (WS7). Eventual rank and the two known rows

Linear independence of finitely many matrix columns is open, so they are eventually injective. This permits testing the unknown, scale-dependent pulled-back defect without assuming it is bounded. Its readings vanish by the Ward identity; injectivity makes the defect itself zero.

The free internal separation used here has a concrete angular argument. Identify fields with their Wick polynomials as in (FM3)–(FM7). For a fixed pair K, L, the assumed zero Ward sums say that the corresponding polynomial endomorphism T is silent in every moment; in particular its two-point pairings obey ⟨Tp(x), q(0)⟩+ ⟨p(x), Tq(0)⟩= 0. (RT18)

It preserves the degree-four subspace by the lower-image condition. The explicit curvature contraction (FM2), expanded on its degree-four invariant polynomials, gives at equal radii x, y ̸= 0 the identity ⟨p(x), q(0)⟩= ⟨(ρ(HyHx)p)(y), q(0)⟩, (RT19)

where Hz = I −2zzT/|z|2 is reflection in the hyperplane normal to z, and ρ acts on all tensor legs. This follows by substituting the orthogonal factor I −2zzT/|z|2 in the degree-four Wick pairings;

the radial factors agree, and contractions use the invariant color inner product. The explicit low-degree evaluations and the extension to every filtered cap are (FS6)–(FS14), with (WE1)–(WE4) and (HC1)–(HC4) supplying their concrete evaluation and collision steps. Apply (RT18) at x and y, use (RT19) in both terms, and subtract. Positive definiteness of the reflected polynomial pairing at x = −rei forces T to commute on degree four with ρ(HxHy). Taking y = ei + ej, with the matching radius, makes this product a signed quarter-turn in the ij-plane.

Signed covariance of the two Lie algebra slots now makes T(K, L)p, for each degree-four p, invariant under simultaneous quarter-turn conjugation of K, L. An alternating bilinear map with this invariance is zero. To check this without representation theory, use the plane basis Eij of so(4). Equal arguments vanish by alternation. For two planes sharing one axis, the square of a quarter-turn in the remaining two axes preserves one plane and negates the other. For disjoint planes, two quarter-turn substitutions exchange the arguments with the sign which, combined with alternation, negates the value. Every coefficient is therefore its own negative. This proves that the internal endomorphism kills the whole degree-four subspace, including the free stress.

The local angular Ward identity for the free stress then propagates this to higher degrees: insert the stress in the silent moment sum, apply the compact angular shell integral, and use that its T-term is zero. The remaining identity is the moment pairing of the commutator of T with the free angular generator. Nondegeneracy of the Wick polynomial tests, proved by the reflected Gram argument following (FM7), makes this commutator zero. Finite-dimensional ODE uniqueness exponentiates that commutation to each quarter-turn at the higher cap. Signed covariance and the same plane-basis calculation again force T = 0. This proves the separation of Id for every d ≥4 used in (RT17), rather than assuming an additional internal symmetry classification.

For the translation detector there are two further points behind its free one-dimensional kernel. A separated target tuple can be joined to a tuple on any prescribed coordinate line by a segment staying in configuration space: order the line coordinates by the target coordinates on that axis, break ties by distinct arbitrarily small increments, and interpolate. Strict inequalities prevent a collision along the segment, and tied target coordinates remain separated until the endpoint. All position derivatives of the Ward sum vanish at the line tuple when all the scene readings vanish. Analyticity of the explicit Wick kernels gives zero in its neighborhood and then along this segment. Thus scene vanishing is the full silent-moment identity. The color-vector, reality and filtration restrictions of (RT17)’s translation analogue then give precisely the derivative line: the free Wick coefficient calculation identifies its degree-four charge as a real scalar translation charge; subtract that scalar derivative. The remaining silent row kills the free stress. The radial shell identity makes its commutator with the engineering-weight derivation a ghost. The fixed exterior-cap separation (FS13) kills that commutator, and the inversion-parity calculation (FS14) kills the row on every higher cap. The complete charge and polynomial-separation calculations are (FS1)–(FS14), built on the hierarchy (FM1)–(FM7) and the invariant spaces (FC1)–(FC15). The zero scalar case is included.

Apply two orbital derivatives to that identity and subtract in opposite orders. The vector fields x 7→Kx have bracket with the opposite sign to the matrix bracket, while the substitutions in a multilinear correlation have the same opposite sign. The resulting defect is [Y (K), Y (L)] − cY ([K, L]), tested in the internal defect space just eliminated. It is zero. This proves the Lie relations on the actual quotient.

There is a useful additional detail in fitting this representation to the free one: the deformed matrices need not be normal. Put D = c−1Y , and work at one finite degree in the space of linear maps between the two quotients. Its relative generators are RK(T) = D(K)T −TYfree(K). Their sum of squares commutes with every RK: expand the commutator, use the plane matrix brackets, and pair the two opposite ordered-plane terms. On the free side this sum is negative semidefinite

in the invariant inner product.
A real polynomial in it projects onto the zero eigenspace, by
interpolation on its finite real spectrum. Evaluate that same polynomial on the nearby deformed
sum of squares. The resulting matrices Pk converge to the free projection P, commute with all the
deformed generators, and obey P 2
k −Pk →0; they are not yet projections.
Correct them by iteration of φ(Z) = 3Z2 −2Z3. If e(Z) = Z2 −Z, direct polynomial multipli-
cation gives
φ(Z) −Z = (1 −2Z)e(Z),
e(φ(Z)) = (4e(Z) −3)e(Z)2.

For bounded Z and sufficiently small initial defect, the defect decreases at least geometrically by 1/2, and the increments are bounded by a fixed constant times that defect. The iterates are Cauchy and converge to an exact idempotent Qk, with Qk −Pk →0. Polynomial iteration preserves every commutation and every closed real symmetry constraint.

It remains to show that the relative generators vanish on its range. Each plane generator is the bracket of two other plane generators. Since Qk commutes with them and is idempotent, the restricted matrices RiQk satisfy those same perfect bracket identities. They tend to zero because the free generators kill P. If M is the largest of their finitely many norms, the bracket identities give M ≤2M2. Eventually M < 1/2, hence M = 0. Apply Qk to the comparison map corresponding to the identity: its limit is the identity, so the result is invertible for large k and is an exact intertwiner. Reality and signed permutations preserve it, because signed conjugation permutes the plane generators with signs whose squares are one. This proves the required compatibility without assuming a spectral theorem for the deformed matrices.

Transport the free orthogonal representation by this intertwiner. Its exponential derivative is c−1Y (K). Along xl(t) = etKxland the simultaneously moved labels, the ordinary product rule and the Ward identity show that the derivative of the correlation is zero. The product rule is valid jointly in positions and labels: expansion in fixed finite bases is a finite sum of products of smooth position functions and polynomial coefficient functions. Thus the correlation is constant along every plane rotation. Plane rotations align any unit vector with a coordinate axis; every hyperplane reflection is a conjugate of a coordinate reflection by such rotations. Reflections generate the orthogonal group, so covariance holds for all of O(4).

All actions preserve the inclusions. This is first true for their generators by the quotient derivative and Ward identities; the two sides of an inclusion intertwining equation then solve the same finite-dimensional linear differential equation along every exponential, with the same initial value. Uniqueness proves it on the exponentials and the group generators. Finally average the normalized stress c−1J, with its two tensor indices moved as well, over normalized Haar measure on compact O(4). Conservation, reality and each shell identity are finite-dimensional linear identities, so they pass through the integral. This produces a symmetric conserved covariant stress with the normalized translation and angular charges on the same hierarchy. The next subsection uses precisely this Euclidean action.

Indeed move the points by esΩa, transfer this rotation to inverse rotation of all labels, and differentiate at zero. Each label belongs to a finite-dimensional field space, so the multilinear scalar reading

is differentiable by its finite basis expansion. Smoothness of the Euclidean hierarchy on distinct configurations justifies the positional derivative. The extension of (BC1) to strict complex times is made after joint testing; no spatial differentiability of the strict waves is assumed. First take a compactly supported joint test φ. For fixed ordered y, introduce the complex scaling parameter z by

ζi(z, X) = z ti(X) + iyi.
Source page 313.

ζi(z, X) = z ti(X) + iyi.

Let U be the set of z for which these times are strictly ordered in imaginary part for every X ∈ supp φ. The set U is open by compactness of the support and continuity of the finitely many gaps. It is convex, since each gap inequality is affine in Iz. It contains the entire real axis, in particular zero and one. For z = iw, the waves in this integral are Euclidean values at the folded points

Qw(X)i = (xi(X), yi + wti(X)).

Its divergence is zero. Its image under the linear part of Qw is exactly w times the Euclidean rotation vector field at Qw(X). This identity avoids division by w and remains valid at w = 0. Equation (BC1), the chain rule, and integration by parts applied to Sv(Qw(X))φ(X) give

The product being differentiated is smooth near the compact support: its folded points have strictly ordered heights and hence distinct positions. It extends by zero smoothly away from that support. The zero divergence makes its integrated directional derivative vanish.

Replace iw in the integrand of (BC2) by arbitrary z ∈U. The integral is holomorphic on U. To
justify this, regard the integrand as a continuous function on the compact support. Its dependence
on z is holomorphic at every point, and it is jointly continuous; locally the Cauchy formula is
uniform on that compact set. Integration is a bounded linear functional on the continuous-function
space and therefore preserves holomorphy. Equation (BC2) makes this holomorphic integral vanish
at imaginary parameters accumulating at zero. The identity theorem on the connected set U makes
it vanish at z = 1. Thus

For a general Schwartz test, use compact cutoffs converging to it in Schwartz topology. The polynomial-coefficient differential operator Ba,y is continuous on that space, and the fixed-height tested functional is continuous. Passing to the limit proves (BC3) for all joint Schwartz tests.
