Define li = Lui. These functionals converge to LU, so they are uniformly bounded. Put Qi = ei(lisi −L). On the vector Viy = uify + A(y)wi, the right-inverse identity cancels the first part exactly and gives QiViy = A(y) [Lui(eisiwi) −eiL(wi)] −→0.

Since V −1 →IE, it follows that Qi →0 in operator norm. This proves (TR47) with ei = ti. It i also proves the convergence of si needed for (TR46)–(TR48); no prior uniform convergence on its near-kernel direction was assumed.

In the present application x is the nonzero free equation-of-motion vector, the kernel of the free degree-five map. The exact right inverses ui are obtained by lifting free target vectors at the same retained scale and undoing the renormalized coordinate map. The projection-lift identity makes siui = I exactly; the common scaling comparison gives ui →U. The near-kernel vectors wi are the issued equation-of-motion coordinates. Their two paid estimates are precisely (TR50). The bare scalar functional annihilates the limiting equation-of-motion vector. Thus this argument constructs the detector used in (TR42), with the precision scale ti = Age1/5 . i For the correction candidates the sharper scalar estimate in (TR47) is compatible with their

qualitative coordinate limits for an additional reason.
Before taking the continuum limit their
issued coordinates differ from the ideal orbit coordinates by at most lossi = Age−1/4
. The ideal

scalar reading equals the target scalar reading exactly. Bounded linearity therefore bounds the
scalar discrepancy by a constant times lossi. Multiplication by ti = Age1/5

Here O is the fixed orbit map on degree-five coordinates and M = LO. To pass this bound to the continuum coordinates, first compare the issued representative with its projection to the retained coordinate core, with error Age−1/4 i . The retained representative has norm at most Age1/6 i . Apply the bounded orbit map for the first bound and the bounded functional for its error contribution. The finite-level scalar calculation gives the remaining three terms and the value −g. Continuous linear maps and closed norm inequalities preserve these bounds along the extraction limit. Every term on the right of the second inequality tends to zero. The scalar finite-level calculation is developed below, and (TS1)–(TS5) supply the weighted near-kernel estimates required in (TR50).

The scalar functional has an explicit invariant-coordinate formula. For the bare divergence vector parametrized by w ∈R3,

ρ(bareVector w) = −4(w0 + 4w1).

The coordinate parametrization is an isomorphism for simple g. The equation-of-motion vector is
the image of (1, −1/4, 1), which (TR52) annihilates. More generally, if the vector belongs to the

Here θ is the actual cutoffthreshold. The local-card identity gives altoD V = θ2 DCard V ; the factors cancel exactly. The card reading identifies the coefficient contraction with the local polynomial contraction Holt. Reality and nonwrapping of the support justify that identification without periodic alias terms. Thus (TR53) is a literal coefficient identity with the stated cutoff, rather than a remainder estimate.

Here are the local estimates underlying the coefficient calculation. Write x for the large coupling parameter and put Ωa(x) = exp{a(log log x)2}, θ = x−1/2Ω1(x),

cx = θ2Ω−2(x),
tx = θ2Ω1/8(x),
σx = θ2x−1/100.

cx = θ2Ω−2(x),
tx = θ2Ω1/8(x),
σx = θ2x−1/100.
(LCE1)

All assertions in this paragraph concern sufficiently large x > 1. Products of the Ωa add their subscripts; for every fixed a and ε > 0, Ωa(x) ≤xε eventually. This follows by dividing a(log log x)2

by log x, whose ratio tends to zero.

The regular local fields entering the exact split have the following derivative envelopes on the common healthy chart: the nonlinear principal discrepancy and the finite Taylor surgery error have envelope cx; the principal comparison field and its loop field have envelope tx; the finite-loop tail has envelope cx. These are envelopes through the prescribed chart order, on the stated local support, including measurability, gauge covariance and chart regularity. The large-x threshold is common to the stated local estimates. At each fixed admitted x, exhaust the finite loop and tail

shelves after specifying the required positive error allowance. Absolute convergence makes their errors arbitrarily small. These shelves may depend on x; a single finite truncation uniform for all large couplings is not needed.

For clarity, the nonlinear estimate has a quantitative Taylor proof. Let s = θ(1 + high(x))P , where P is the fixed stage power. In exponential link coordinates the discrepancy K between the nonlinear curvature expression and its linear comparison has derivatives through order four at zero bounded by x−30. Its derivatives through the required higher order on ∥y∥≤Ds are bounded by 2Ω1/200(x); D ≥1 is a fixed chart radius. The change from color coordinates to link directions has norm at most one, so these low-jet bounds persist under that change. Taylor’s formula with integral remainder, after rescaling y = sp, gives, uniformly for ∥p∥≤D,

∥minors(βK)∥Ck ≤4x 2Ω1/200(x) C5,Ds5 ≤σx,
k ≥5,

The low-order terms fit this same estimate because x−30 ≤2Ω1/200(x)s5−j for 0 ≤j ≤4. The final
inequality follows from s5 = x−5/2 times a fixed subpower factor, whereas σx = x−1−1/100Ω2(x).
Thus the fifth-order Taylor remainder has a strictly decaying power to spare. The finite-difference
surgery uses h = θx−1/24.
Since h/s ≤x−1/24, choosing its order m ≥48 makes every fixed
subpower multiple of s(h/s)m+1 at most σxh eventually.
This controls the surgery error after
division by its difference step. The support margins and nonwrapping conditions used here are
the finite chart conditions already imposed when choosing the station; none is a new continuum
hypothesis.

We spell out how these local bounds survive projection and summation. Fix the degree-five frame and its local section, and denote their fixed reading prices by r ≥1 and v ≥1. If the section has growth exponent p ≥0, put K0 = (1+p)r +v. A field with derivative envelope cx has weighted coefficient size at most rcx. This is the coefficient projection estimate: each coordinate is a bounded derivative reading, its fixed reading weight is included in r, and summing the coordinate absolute values bounds the coefficient norm.

Here s0 is the fixed support weight of the local budget, distinct from the chart radius s. Multiplying each summand by its projection price at most r+v and using the triangle inequality gives coefficient size at most (r + v)σx for their sum. The same summation constructs its local representative and bounds its approximation remainder; this is why a bound for each individual term is not used in place of the required bound for their sum.

The principal local support has bounded weighted cover, so its support weight is at most a fixed A = exp(P0 TileNo). Its derivative envelope is 2cx + 2tx ≤4tx. Combining it with (LCE3) bounds both the total projected coefficient and its local representative error by

K0(4Atx + σx) ≤(4A + 1)K0θ2Ω1/8(x) ≤θ2Ω1/6(x).

Indeed their respective ratios are K0x−1/100Ω2(x) and rΩ−1(x), both tending to zero. These inequalities prove the total envelope and all four small coefficient envelopes used next. They also show explicitly why the local errors still vanish after division by θ2.

In this display W, E, F already denote coefficient vectors; B, K, D are scalar configuration functions until altoD is applied. The sign identity is DY LQ = K −D, so the loop contribution is −K + D. The operator altoD means the degree-five Taylor reader with its actual threshold weights, on the common local support; the secondary readers retain their own supports Pγ. The current here is the localized version of (TF0a), transported through the stationary descent, not an independently chosen continuum vector.

The low-jet estimate for the first term in (LCE6) uses the quantitative stationary error as well as the identity (TF0c). Here is that step in detail. Write F = boom Jb(0), R′ = DY Pmain, and E for the stationary error. Equality of the analytic jets of F −E and R′ through order four gives

The issued stationary chart bounds the analytic coefficient norm of E by shock(x) = x−100 on radius σ = east(x). Converting the coefficient bound to ordinary derivatives through order four costs the previously defined analytic derivative price gG(σ/5, 4), called gable in the source. Localizing the tensor to Meld J costs at most x−70gG(v/5, 4), where v = σ/100.

There are two further replacements: the original current Y by its localized current Yc, and the full principal action by its finite retained action PA. Use the exact identity

DY Pmain −DYcPA = DY −YcPmain + DYc(Pmain −PA). (TF13)

The current difference has weighted price p = x−70; the localized current has price at most q = trophy(x) + p. The full action derivative has bound

U(x) = bankCost(B(x))K momentPriceP (D/2)[GeoSize +2 paths],

Here D > 0 is the issued path width; K, P depend on G and the fixed derivative order four, and the geometric and path prices are fixed by the stage. Cofinal finite path cuts give the tail derivative bound T. The weighted product rule for contracting a current with an action derivative bounds (TF13) by V (x) = vocationG(v, p, U) + vocationG(v, q, T). (TF15)

The prices in (TF15) have the following explicit meanings. Set

cG(a) = # Loc(G, 1) e2a6! 24

gG(a, k) = (1 + cG(a))k,

remaining binomial coefficients sum to 24= 16. Summing in lgives exactly (TF20). The vanishing action derivative follows because its one-color linear coefficient is invariant, and simplicity excludes an invariant color vector; it holds for both the full action and its invariant finite tail. This proves the contraction bound in (TF15) using only three current derivatives and four action derivatives. The scheduled radii and cuts give T = O(x−98), V = O(x−65), and

x−100gG(σ/5, 4) + x−70gG(v/5, 4) + V (x) = O(x−64) ≤x−30

eventually. These bounds are uniform in the admitted finite torus and hold for every sufficiently large finite cut at that fixed stage. Equations (TF12)–(TF16) supply the second, third, and fourth derivatives as well as the zeroth and first ones. They are the quantitative hypothesis used in the rescaled Taylor remainder (LCE2). In that application the higher derivative bound and x−30 ≤ 2 thinM(x)s5−j, 0 ≤j ≤4, give the order-five rescaled remainder, with s = θ(1 + high)stage power. Summing the Taylor terms gives the stated θ2x−1/100 envelope.

The quiet derivative K has zero scalar contraction by the two path-moment cancellations (TF6a)–(TF6c), whose full-family justification is given immediately below. The derivative of the appended quiet correction is D. The term B keeps the Haar Jacobian, and its centered constant is explicitly removed. The last term is obtained by expanding each finite surgery exponential into support factors, with coefficient wi/h; its entire weighted sum is bounded in (LCE3). Thus the four small terms are exactly W, altoD D, E, F, and the two non-small terms have their actual scalar calculations.

For completeness, the retained quiet moments are small because the full issued loop family has zero moments. For each ordered pair a of plaquette types and pair b of color indices, define

coefficients appended at displacement zero and the four unit displacements in (TF6a) have total
coefficient magnitude at most 5 #{color pairs}#{type pairs}(A + 4A). Indeed there are five dis-
placement choices for each type pair, and each coefficient has magnitude at most A + 4A; the
unit-displacement coefficients individually have the sharper bound A. Their paths have length at
most ten, so a weighted atom budget at width a costs at most an additional e10a. Fixed-order local

function and derivative bounds follow by the finite plaquette product estimate used for (TF11). The exponential path estimate gives A = q + e−σr/4 momentPrice1(σ/2)B after a sufficiently large cut and radius r, for width σ > 0 and full loop price B. This proves the small appended-tail bound used for D. The augmented finite family, meanwhile, has exactly zero constant and first moments by its explicit coefficients. Its Hessian against a supported direction and a direction with affine curl therefore vanishes by (TF6b), proving the scalar cancellation for K. Smallness of the correction and exact cancellation of the augmented family are separate consequences of (TF18) and (TF6a), respectively.

The issuance is constructive: for each of these regular scalar functions subtract the local section of its weighted Taylor card and put the masked difference in one regular activity slot, as in (TF5). Add the four principal formatted insertions and the finitely many secondary ones. Their coefficient is exactly the sum of their Taylor cards by linearity, and their support-weighted prices add. Equations (LCE3)–(LCE5) then prove both the bound on the issued coefficient and the paid remainder of its representative. This proves existence of the candidate with its coefficient identity and its budgets simultaneously. The principal issued divergence decomposes into six vector contributions:

V = W + altoD B −altoD K + altoD D + E + F.

V = W + altoD B −altoD K + altoD D + E + F.

The decomposition is exact because the local split satisfies y + D = K, and the regular-card map
is additive on this regular split. The central term K has zero Holt contraction by the finite-level
cancellation identity, so its scalar reading is zero by (TR53). The term B gives Re Holt(B)/12.
Its difference from the finite-level scalar payment midPay /12 is at most calorie/12. Each of the

The total vector’s coefficient-size envelope is θ2Wave(1/6), so ∥θ−2V ∥≤Wave(1/6). These estimates use the coefficient-size bound, which dominates its norm, and the actual positive threshold to cancel θ2. The scalar payment comparison | midPay −landPay | ≤shock, with landPay /12 = −g, gives the last two terms and limiting value in (TR51). This reduces that limit to the local scalar

cancellation, the four explicit local envelopes and the payment comparison; it introduces no independent continuum assumption. The finite scalar payment itself is obtained by differentiating a massive comparison, with the mass parameter kept strictly positive until after the large-volume estimates. Let Ri(μ) be its scalar resolvent primitive and Si(μ) its differentiated shell quantity. The source proves

eventually for every fixed x, where L = −12g and the same C works for every such x. The derivative is a derivative of a convergent finite-volume resolvent expression; strict positivity of its massive matrix gives its inverse throughout this calculation. For any fixed a < b ≤0, the real mean value theorem gives a point ci ∈(a, b), hence μi = eci ∈ [ea, eb], with

for every moving mass in any fixed interval [δ, 1], δ > 0. To prove Re Xi →L, first choose b ≤0 so negative that C1eb < ε/4. Then choose b −a large enough that the right side of (TR57) is at most ε/4. The interval lower endpoint ea is now fixed and positive, so (TR58) applies to the mean-value masses. Its vanishing error and the two preceding bounds prove the desired convergence. The choice order is essential: the volume limit is taken with this fixed positive lower mass, after choosing the error tolerance.

We derive the local resolvent bound in (TR58). Use a periodic lattice of side n, angular momentum spacing h = 2π/n, and normalized momentum weight n−4. Write kx = h lift(x) for its centered momenta. If R ≥h, any subset of momenta with |kx| ≤R has at most

members. Indeed their centered integer coordinates have absolute value at most ⌊R/h⌋. The lift is injective, and the integer coordinate box has at most (2⌊R/h⌋+ 1)4 ≤(3R/h)4 points. This upper bound remains true when the coordinate box wraps on the torus. For h ≤μ ≤1, group momenta according to

Assign boundary points to one of their adjacent groups. A group has at most (6 · 2jμ/h)4 points by (LR1); its summand (|kx| + μ)−5 is at most (2jμ)−5. Therefore

Only finitely many groups are nonempty at a given n; extending their sum by zeros justifies the infinite geometric majorant.

Here is the integrand estimate to which (LR2) applies. At z = |k| + μ > 0, scale an external momentum direction p by z. The zero-field matrix, one-field vertex and two-field vertex have sizes z2, z, 1 with bounded scaled derivatives through the finite orders in use. These follow from their vanishing origin jets and the analytic symbol bounds proved in the massive-symbol section. Ellipticity gives the inverse size z−2. Differentiating A−1A = I gives

D(A−1) = −A−1(DA)A−1,
Source page 434.
Searchable transcription
D(A−1) = −A−1(DA)A−1,
D2(A−1)[u, v] = A−1(DA[v])A−1(DA[u])A−1 + A−1(DA[u])A−1(DA[v])A−1 −A−1(D2A[u, v])A−1.

D2(A−1)[u, v] = A−1(DA[v])A−1(DA[u])A−1 + A−1(DA[u])A−1(DA[v])A−1 −A−1(D2A[u, v])A−1.

These formulas, and one further differentiation when needed, retain the same inverse size under scaled derivatives. Hence the contracted resolvent-insertion integrands have scaled analytic-jet bounds of size z−2, with constants depending on the fixed directions and finite matrix dimensions but not on k, μ, n.

For such an analytic integrand V , let [V ]j(p) = DjV (0)[p, . . . , p]/j! be its homogeneous Taylor coefficient. The scaled bound gives

z3|[V ]3(p)| ≤Cz−2/3!,
hence
|[V ]3(p)| ≤C′z−5.
Source page 434.

z3|[V ]3(p)| ≤Cz−2/3!,

|[V ]3(p)| ≤C′z−5.

For the second coefficient it gives |[V ]2(p)| ≤C′z−4. The angular cube and μ ≤1 give a fixed upper bound z ≤R∗, so this too is bounded by C′R∗z−5. Summing the finite matrix entries and applying (LR2) bounds both contracted coefficients by a constant times μ−1.

The local readings are explicit finite coefficient selectors. For a scalar function on integer arguments set

On powers of degree at most two, Pan selects the quadratic coefficient; on powers of degree at
most three, Flop selects the linear coefficient. The mixed selector is i Pana Flopb, evaluated on the
specified two-direction momentum contour, with the corresponding powers of h−1. Its fixed finite
coefficients bound it by a finite sum of the directional third coefficients just estimated. The local
second selector is Pan on the opposed-momentum contour, with h−2. Analytic Taylor remainder
bounds show that each selector differs from its indicated derivative coefficient by a term tending to
zero as h →0, with mass restricted to a fixed [δ, 1]. For δ > 0, the massive matrices have a common
positive lower bound, so their analytic inverse neighborhoods and the higher derivatives needed for
these remainders are bounded throughout this interval. This also allows a mass μn depending on
n. Absorb a final selector error at most 1 into μ−1

The physical local lens is the prescribed half-weighted physical resolvent contraction minus its gauge comparison contraction. Both have the preceding bounds; their matrix tickets identify the actual finite matrices with the Fourier inverse matrices. Linearity and the triangle inequality therefore prove, with constants fixed before the positive lower mass cutoffis requested,
