Abstract

We study differential-geometric calibration and correspondence projection of Weil classes on abelian $2m$-folds alongside explicit complete-intersection realizations of exceptional Hodge classes on Fermat varieties $X_d^4 \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, $X_{12}^2 \subset \mathbb{P}^3$, and $X_6^{2p} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2p+1}$. First, via the principal-angle decomposition on $\mathrm{Gr}(m,2m)$, we prove that every graph $m$-plane $\Gamma_B$ satisfies $|\langle P_{\Gamma_B},\Psi_\pm \rangle| = |\det B|/\det(I_m+B^\dagger B) \leq 2^{-m}$ (with equality iff $B \in \mathrm{U}(m)$) and obeys the Maclaurin inequality $\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_W)+\mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(P_W) \geq 2\binom{m}{k}|\langle P_W,\Psi_\pm \rangle|$. Second, averaging sign-adjusted graphs $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w+gz=0\}$ over the special monomial group $G_m \subset \mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ of order $4^{m-1}m!$ plus coordinate subtori yields an effective cycle $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)} \geq 0$ on $E_i^{2m}$ ($m \geq 2$) whose Hodge locus is the $m^2$-dimensional Weil PEL domain $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$. Third, we prove $i\partial\bar{\partial}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z)) = \gamma_Z^*(\omega_{\mathrm{Pl\ddot{u}cker}})$, forcing a calibration deficit $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z)>0$ on simple Weil varieties, and construct an $(m+1)$-point rational Chebyshev-Weil projector $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)]$ onto $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$, reducing the Hodge conjecture for $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$ on a simple fiber to a seed cycle with non-vanishing Weil period. Fourth, building on the Catalecticant rank theorem of Dan, Villaflor Loyola, and Kloosterman and the sextic realizations of Braun et al., we derive closed-form factored $6 \times 6$ Jacobians for general even-degree ($d=2m \geq 6$) double-Aoki-Shioda surfaces $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ and $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} \subset X_9^4$. Fifth and sixth, at $d=12$ we construct a degree-$(4,6)$ weighted Brieskorn-Pham curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ and entangled surfaces on $X_{12}^4$ (ranks $1605, 2653$) realizing Aoki's sporadic parity generator $S_4=(1,6,8,9)$ and spanning all $39$ exceptional orbits on $X_{12}^4$, and prove the Mod-3 Block Decomposition Law on $X_6^{2p}$.

1. Problem and Contribution

A foundational problem in the study of the Hodge Conjecture [1, 2, 3] is to understand the quantitative geometric complexity required to represent a rational Hodge class $\alpha \in \mathrm{Hdg}^p(X, \mathbb{Q}) = H^{2p}(X, \mathbb{Q}) \cap H^{p,p}(X)$ by algebraic cycles. When $\alpha$ is not generated by intersections of divisor classes in $H^{1,1}(X, \mathbb{Q})$ or linear subspaces $\mathbb{P}^p \subset X$, two complementary mechanisms govern its cycle realization:

  1. Differential-Geometric Calibration & Endomorphism Projectors on Weil Abelian Varieties: Every effective analytic $p$-cycle $Z = \sum_r c_r [Z_r]$ ($c_r > 0$) on a complex torus or projective manifold induces a positive semidefinite $(p,p)$-current whose tangent spaces $T_z Z_r^{\mathrm{sm}} \in \mathrm{Gr}(n-p, T_z X)$ lie on the rank-$1$ Plücker-decomposable cone of $\mathbb{P}(\bigwedge^{n-p} T_z X)$, while its Poincaré dual cohomology class is represented by its conormal forms in $\bigwedge^p H^{1,0}(X) \wedge \bigwedge^p H^{0,1}(X)$. How efficiently can a family of $m$-planes calibrate an indefinite primitive class such as a Weil class [4, 5, 6] on an abelian $2m$-fold $A$ (for which Markman [6] established the Hodge conjecture on abelian fourfolds and discriminant-$(-1)$ Weil sixfolds via secant sheaves), how does the curvature of the Gauss map $\gamma_Z: Z^{\mathrm{sm}} \to \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ constrain the Kähler volume of $Z$ when $A$ is simple, and how can one project $H^{2m}(A, \mathbb{Q})$ onto the $2$-dimensional rational Weil space on every simple fiber?
  2. Closed-Form Complete-Intersection Jacobians & Sporadic Parity Syzygies on Fermat Varieties: On a smooth projective fourfold $X_d^4 = \{F_d = 0\} \subset \mathbb{P}^5$ ($d \ge 4$), Carlson-Griffiths [7, 8] and Villaflor [9, 10] identify $H^{2,2}_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_d^4, \mathbb{C}) \cong R(F_d)_{3d-6}$ in the Gorenstein Jacobian ring $R(F_d) = \mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_5]/J(F_d)$, where the annihilator and Hilbert-series Catalecticant rank of a complete intersection $Z = \{g_1=g_2=g_3=0\} \subset X_d^4$ are given by the classical Gorenstein residuation theorems of Dan [21], Villaflor Loyola [22], and Kloosterman [20]. On Fermat varieties $X_d^{2p}$, the Hodge conjecture for $d \le 20$ and for prime powers or twice prime powers is classical by Shioda [11] and Aoki [12, 18], was explicitly realized on the Fermat sextic fourfold $X_6^4$ via linear, Aoki–Shioda, and "type 3" complete-intersection surfaces (with factored residue polynomials and Catalecticant ranks $19, 62, 106$) by Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23], and was recently extended to $d < 65$ ($d \notin \{44, 51, 52\}$) via lifted length-reduction algorithms in Aoki's formal tuple module by Martelotte, Miranda, Movasati, and Villaflor [19]. Treating the Gorenstein Catalecticant rank theorem [20, 21, 22] and the sextic fourfold realizations [23] as background, we ask: can one derive closed-form factored expansions of Villaflor's $6 \times 6$ Jacobian determinants $P_Z = \det\frac{\partial(g,h)}{\partial x}$ (omitted as computationally tedious in [19, Proof of Proposition 3.7]) for all even-degree entangled double-Aoki–Shioda surfaces $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ ($2m \ge 8$) and the nonic join $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} \subset X_9^4$, and at composite degrees divisible by $12$—where Aoki's order-$2$ parity obstruction group $G_{12} \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ [12, Theorem A; 19, §2.2] prevents standard binomial complete intersections $A_{p, 12}$ (and $Z^{(12)}$) from spanning the Hodge group—can one construct an explicit single complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ and entangled surfaces on $X_{12}^4$ realizing Aoki's sporadic half-integral generator $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$?

In this paper, we establish six exact theorems backed by self-contained symbolic-computational certificates (hodge_loci_engine in supplement.zip):

  • Theorem 1 (Principal-Angle Calibration & Maclaurin Exterior-Block Inequality for Weil Classes, Section 2): Using the Cosine-Sine (CS) principal-angle decomposition on $\mathrm{Gr}(m, V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-)$ and the Cauchy-Binet formula on arbitrary graph matrices $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, we prove that every rank-$1$ Plücker projection operator $P_{\Gamma_B} = u_B u_B^\dagger$ satisfies $$\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_- \rangle = \frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}, \qquad \mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_B}) = \frac{\mathrm{Tr}(\bigwedge^k(B^\dagger B))}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)} = \frac{e_k(\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2)}{\prod_{a=1}^m (1+\sigma_a^2)},$$ where $\sigma_a = \tan\theta_a$ are the singular values of $B$. Consequently, $|\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = \prod_{a=1}^m \cos\theta_a \sin\theta_a \le 2^{-m}$, with equality if and only if $B \in \mathrm{U}(m)$, where the exterior-block traces follow the exact binomial distribution $\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_U}) = \binom{m}{k}2^{-m}$. Applying Maclaurin's symmetric-mean inequality $e_k(y)/\binom{m}{k} \ge (e_m(y))^{k/m}$ yields the universal pointwise and cycle exterior-block inequality $$\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_W) + \mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(P_W) \ge 2\binom{m}{k}\big|\langle P_W, \Psi_\pm \rangle\big|,$$ establishing a sharp $2^{m-1}$ calibration bound in the real cone of decomposable Plücker operators via the $2m$-plane Vandermonde identity.
  • Theorem 2 (Factored Double-Monomial $\mathrm{SU}(m)$-Design & Conormal Poincaré Dual Effective Weil Cycle Realization, Section 3): Because the Vandermonde planes $\Gamma_{e^{i\pi j/m} I_m}$ of Theorem 1(c) are lattice-rational on the split CM model $E_i^{2m}$ only when $2m \mid 4$ ($m=2$), we introduce for arbitrary $m \ge 2$ the finite special monomial group $G_m = \{D_\varepsilon P_\pi \in \mu_4^m \rtimes S_m : \det g = 1\} \subset \mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ of order $|G_m| = 4^{m-1} m!$, whose graphs are lattice-rational abelian subvarieties of $E_i^{2m}$ for all $m \ge 2$. We prove that the factored double-monomial Reynolds projector $\mathcal{R}_{G_m \times G_m}$ on $\mathrm{End}(\bigwedge^m V^{1,0})$ satisfies the universal operator identity $$\mathcal{R}_{G_m \times G_m}(P_{\Gamma_B}) = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{e_k(B^\dagger B)}{\binom{m}{k}^2 \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)} \Pi_{E_k} + \frac{\overline{\det B}}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}\Psi_+ + \frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}\Psi_-$$ for every (not necessarily unitary) matrix $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$. Carefully distinguishing tangent Plücker vectors from conormal Poincaré dual classes $[\Gamma_g] = f_g^*[0] = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2}d(w-gz)_a \wedge d\overline{(w-gz)}_a$ (whose conormal matrix $(-g \mid I_m)$ carries extreme minor $(-1)^m\det g = (-1)^m$), we prove that averaging the sign-adjusted graphs $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w + gz = 0\}$ ($g \in G_m$) plus positive coordinate subtori yields an explicit effective lattice-rational algebraic cycle $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)} \ge 0$ on $E_i^{2m}$ representing $H([\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}]) = I_{\mathcal{H}} + \Psi_+ + \Psi_- = \frac{1}{m!}H(\omega_Q^m) + 2H(\alpha_{W,1})$ for every $m \ge 2$, and we prove via the Plücker rank-$1$ Grassmannian criterion that the Hodge locus of the cohomology class $[\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}]$ in $\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$ is the $m^2$-dimensional Weil PEL Shimura variety $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$.
  • Theorem 3 (Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-Form Rigidity & Universal Chebyshev-Weil Endomorphism Projector on Simple Weil Varieties, Section 4): We prove that the calibration-saturating locus $\mathcal{U} = \mathrm{U}(m) \subset \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ is maximally totally real ($T_U \mathrm{U}(m) \cap i T_U \mathrm{U}(m) = \{0\}$), and that along any holomorphic Gauss map $z \mapsto B(z)$ away from $\{\det B = 0\}$, the complex Hessian (Levi form) of the logarithmic Weil calibration defect $\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z)) = -\log(2^m |\langle P_{\Gamma_{B(z)}}, \Psi_- \rangle|) = \sum_{a=1}^m \log\cosh(\log\sigma_a(z))$ is identically the pullback of the Plücker Fubini-Study Kähler metric: $$i\partial\bar{\partial}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z)) = i\,\mathrm{Tr}\!\left((I_m + B B^\dagger)^{-1} \partial B \wedge (I_m + B^\dagger B)^{-1} \bar{\partial} B^\dagger\right) = \gamma_Z^*(\omega_{\mathrm{Pl\ddot{u}cker}}) \ge 0.$$ Accounting for the exact wedge-reordering phase $\psi_-|_{w=Bz} := (d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dw_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dw_m)|_{w=Bz} = (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(2i)^m (\det B) v_0$, we prove that on any simple Weil abelian $2m$-fold $A_\tau$ ($m \ge 2$), every effective $m$-cycle $Z$ with $\mathrm{Re}((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m \int_Z \psi_-) > 0$ obeys a strict Kähler-to-Weil calibration deficit $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) := \frac{1}{m!}\int_Z \omega_Q^m - \mathrm{Re}((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m \int_Z \psi_-) > 0$. Conversely, using the norm-normalized integer-endomorphism correspondences $T_{a_j, b_j} := \frac{[a_j + b_j\phi]^* + [a_j - b_j\phi]^*}{2(a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)]$, we construct an $(m+1)$-point rational Universal Chebyshev-Weil Endomorphism Projector $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} = \sum_{j=0}^m c_j T_{j, 1} \in \mathrm{Corr}^0(A_\tau, A_\tau)_{\mathbb{Q}}$ (with closed-form Lagrange-Chebyshev weights $c_j = (2^{m-1}\prod_{\ell \ne j}(x_j - x_\ell))^{-1}$ at $x_j = \frac{j^2-d}{j^2+d}$) that acts as an idempotent projector onto $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$ on middle cohomology $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ (and on $H^*(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ upon composition with Lieberman's Künneth projector $\pi_{2m}$) across every simple fiber $A_\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$, verified directly on the $70 \times 70$ rational exterior-power matrices.
  • Theorem 4 (Closed-Form Jacobian Factorization of Entangled Double-Aoki–Shioda Surfaces $Z^{(2m)}$ and Join-Aoki–Shioda Surfaces on $X_d^4$, Sections 5–6): After reviewing the Gorenstein complete-intersection Catalecticant rank theorem of Dan [21], Villaflor Loyola [22], and Kloosterman [20] and the sextic fourfold realizations of Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23] as background (Proposition 1), we generalize the sextic "type 3" surface of [23, (2.17)] to all even degrees $d = 2m \ge 6$ via the entangled degree-$(2,2,m)$ double-Aoki–Shioda family $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ and derive its exact closed-form $6 \times 6$ Jacobian polynomial $P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x) \in R(F_{2m})_{6m-6}$ (as well as those of $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)} = A_{1, 2m} * A_{2, 2m}$ and $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} = A_{1, 9} * A_{3, 9}$ [18, 19]), proving that $Z^{(2m)}$ eliminates the $(m,m)$ linear pair at the polynomial equation level to realize all $(m-1)^2$ pairwise joins $T_k * T_l = (s_{2, k+1} - (m)) * (s_{2, l+1} - (m))$, directly spanning $100\%$ of pair-free orbits on $X_6^4, X_8^4, X_{10}^4$ and all $4$ non-standard surface blocks on $X_{10}^2$ up to linear deletion.
  • Theorem 5 (Sporadic Weighted Brieskorn-Pham Complete-Intersection Syzygy $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ & Entangled Realization of Aoki's Order-2 Parity Group on $X_{12}^4$, Section 6): At $d = 12$ ($m = 6$), where Aoki's order-$2$ parity obstruction group $G_{12} \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ [12, Theorem A; 19, §2.2] prevents standard binomial complete intersections $A_{p, 12}$ (and $Z^{(12)}$) from reaching the half-integral sporadic Hodge characters $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9) \equiv \frac{1}{2}(s_{3,1} + s_{2,1} + s_{2,2})$ and $S_1 = (1, 4, 9, 10) \equiv \frac{1}{2}(s_{3,1} + s_{2,1} - s_{2,2})$, we solve the weighted $(1, 6, 4, 3)$ Brieskorn-Pham syzygy $x_0^{12} + x_2^{12} + x_3^{12} = g_1 h_1 + Q_6^2$ in closed form over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})$ via $g_1 = x_2^4 - a x_0 x_3^3 - b x_0^4$ and $Q_6 = x_3^6 + \frac{a^3}{2}x_0^3 x_3^3 + \frac{3b^2}{a^2}x_0^6$ ($a^4 = (6+2\sqrt{3})b$, $b^3 = -(10+6\sqrt{3})$). We prove that the resulting degree-$(4, 6)$ complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} = \{g_1 = x_1^6 - i Q_6 = 0\} \subset X_{12}^2$ has a $4 \times 4$ Villaflor Jacobian whose non-inductive terms are supported purely on the $4$ Galois conjugates of $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$, and that entangling $(g_1, h_1, Q_6)$ on $X_{12}^4$ yields multidegree-$(4, 2, 6)$ and $(4, 4, 6)$ complete-intersection surfaces $Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}, Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ (of Catalecticant ranks $1605$ and $2653$) spanning all $6/6$ exceptional surface orbits on $X_{12}^2$ and (with the $(4,8)$-join) all $39/39$ exceptional fourfold orbits on $X_{12}^4$.
  • Theorem 6 (All-Dimensional Mod-3 Block Decomposition Law on $X_6^{2p} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2p+1}$, Section 6): Across all even dimensions $2p \ge 2$, we prove that pair-free $(2p+2)$-variable Hodge characters on the Fermat sextic $X_6^{2p}$ exist if and only if $p \not\equiv 0 \pmod 3$ (so zero exist on the Fano sextic sixfold $X_6^6 \subset \mathbb{P}^7$, where $K_{X_6^6} = \mathcal{O}(-2)$), derive the closed-form count $N_{\mathrm{perm}}(X_6^{2p}) = (8, 18, 33, 55, 86)$ of $S_{2p+2}$-permutation classes of Hodge characters for $p = 1, \dots, 5$ (corresponding to $N_{\mathrm{Galois}}(X_6^{2p}) = (7, 14, 24, 38, 57)$ Galois-conjugate orbits under $S_{2p+2} \times (\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})^\times$), and write down the explicit complete-intersection multidegrees spanning $\mathrm{Hdg}^p(X_6^{2p}, \mathbb{Q})$.

1.2 Related Work and Precise Positioning

Our results connect and refine two lines of research:

  1. Positivity Cones, Calibrated Geometry, and Weil Classes on Abelian Varieties: Harvey-Lawson [13] and Voisin [14] used calibrated geometry and Chern-class positivity to study analytic cycles on Kähler manifolds, while Weil [4], Schoen [5], and Markman [6] studied the algebraicity of Weil classes on abelian varieties (with Markman [6, Theorem 1.5.1 & Corollary 1.6.1] proving the Hodge conjecture for abelian fourfolds and discriminant-$(-1)$ Weil sixfolds via secant sheaves). On rStation, lelong_ridge [16] proved that strongly positive rational Hodge classes on complex tori force projectivity while Demailly-weakly positive ones do not. Complementing [6, 16], our Theorems 1–3 establish the exact principal-angle calibration law $|\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = \prod_{a=1}^m \cos\theta_a\sin\theta_a \le 2^{-m}$, the Maclaurin exterior-block inequality across all $m+1$ blocks $E_k$, the lattice-rational special monomial design $G_m \subset \mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ and conormal Poincaré dual cycle $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)} \ge 0$ on $E_i^{2m}$ for all $m \ge 2$, the Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-form curvature gap $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) > 0$ on simple Weil abelian varieties, and the norm-normalized Chebyshev-Weil correspondence projector $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)]$ valid on every simple fiber.
  2. Fermat Hypersurfaces, Complete-Intersection Periods, and Aoki–Shioda Cycles: Shioda [11] proved the Hodge conjecture for Fermat varieties of degree $d \le 20$ in arbitrary dimension, Aoki [12, 18] proved the conjecture for prime powers and twice prime powers via the standard complete-intersection cycles $A_{p, d}$ and identified the order-$2$ parity obstruction group $G_d \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ at multiples of $12$ [12, Theorem A], Villaflor [9, Theorem 1.1; 22], Dan [21], and Kloosterman [20, Proposition 4.13] established the Jacobian determinant residue representation $P_Z = \det\frac{\partial(g,h)}{\partial x}$ and Hilbert-series Catalecticant rank formula for complete intersections, Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23, (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3), Theorem 1, & §4] constructed the explicit sextic fourfold Aoki–Shioda join and "type 3" complete-intersection surfaces with their factored residue polynomials and Catalecticant ranks $19, 62, 106$, and Martelotte, Miranda, Movasati, and Villaflor [19] recently proved the conjecture for all degrees $d < 65$ ($d \notin \{44, 51, 52\}$) via lifted length-reduction algorithms in Aoki's formal module of tuples (while cm_symmetry_scout [17, 24] studied products of Fermat double covers, CM factors, and powers of odd-isogeny elliptic surfaces). Treating both the Gorenstein Catalecticant rank formula [20, 21, 22] and the sextic fourfold realizations of [23] as background (Proposition 1), our specific contributions in Theorems 4–6 are: (i) the general even-degree ($d = 2m \ge 6$) closed-form factored $6 \times 6$ Jacobian determinant formula for the entangled degree-$(2,2,m)$ double-Aoki–Shioda family $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ and the nonic join $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} \subset X_9^4$ (whose direct Jacobian expansion was omitted in [19, Proof of Proposition 3.7]), (ii) the explicit degree-$(4, 6)$ weighted Brieskorn-Pham complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ and entangled surfaces $Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}, Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ realizing Aoki's sporadic half-integral parity generator $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$ directly by complete intersections, and (iii) the Mod-3 Block Decomposition Law and orbit-generating function on $X_6^{2p}$ across all $p \ge 1$.

2. Principal-Angle Calibration and Maclaurin Exterior-Block Inequality

Let $(A, Q)$ be a polarized abelian $2m$-fold ($m \ge 2$) of Weil type with imaginary quadratic multiplication $\phi: \mathbb{Q}(i) \hookrightarrow \mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A)$, so that $V^{1,0} = H^{1,0}(A, \mathbb{C}) = V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-$ splits into $m$-dimensional $+i$ and $-i$ eigenspaces with $Q$-orthonormal bases $(dz_1, \dots, dz_m)$ of $V^{1,0}_+$ and $(dw_1, \dots, dw_m)$ of $V^{1,0}_-$. The Hilbert space $\mathcal{H} = \bigwedge^m V^{1,0}$ of dimension $\binom{2m}{m}$ decomposes into $m+1$ orthogonal exterior blocks $$\mathcal{H} = \bigoplus_{k=0}^m E_k, \qquad E_k := \bigwedge^{m-k} V^{1,0}_+ \otimes \bigwedge^k V^{1,0}_-, \qquad \dim_{\mathbb{C}} E_k = \binom{m}{k}^2,$$ with orthogonal projections $\Pi_{E_k} \in \mathrm{End}(\mathcal{H})$. To make the linear bijection $H: \bigwedge^m V^{1,0} \wedge \bigwedge^m V^{0,1} \xrightarrow{\sim} \mathrm{End}(\mathcal{H})$ completely explicit, for each $m$-element subset $I = \{i_1 < \dots < i_m\} \subset \{1, \dots, 2m\}$ (where $(u_1, \dots, u_{2m}) := (dz_1, \dots, dz_m, dw_1, \dots, dw_m)$), define the normalized $(m,0)$ basis vector $e_I := u_{i_1} \wedge \dots \wedge u_{i_m} \in \mathcal{H}$ and map the $(m,m)$-form $$\Upsilon_{I, J} := \left(\frac{i}{2}\right)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} e_I \wedge \bar{e}_J = \bigwedge_{r=1}^m \left(\frac{i}{2} u_{i_r} \wedge \bar{u}_{j_r}\right) \qquad \longmapsto \qquad H(\Upsilon_{I, J}) := |e_I\rangle\langle e_J| \in \mathrm{End}(\mathcal{H}).$$ Under this normalization, $\frac{1}{m!}\omega_Q^m = \sum_{|I|=m} \Upsilon_{I, I}$ maps to $H(\frac{1}{m!}\omega_Q^m) = I_{\mathcal{H}}$. For the two Weil $(m,0)$ eigenforms $\Omega_+ := dz_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dz_m \in E_0$ and $\Omega_- := dw_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dw_m \in E_m$, the rank-$1$ transition operators $$\Psi_+ := |\Omega_+\rangle\langle\Omega_-| = H\big((i/2)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} \Omega_+ \wedge \bar{\Omega}_-\big), \qquad \Psi_- := |\Omega_-\rangle\langle\Omega_+| = \Psi_+^\dagger = H\big((i/2)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} \Omega_- \wedge \bar{\Omega}_+\big)$$ correspond to the normalized real Weil $(m,m)$-forms $$\alpha_{W,1} := \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{i}{2}\right)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}\big(\Omega_+ \wedge \bar{\Omega}_- + \Omega_- \wedge \bar{\Omega}_+\big), \qquad \alpha_{W,2} := \frac{1}{2i}\left(\frac{i}{2}\right)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}\big(\Omega_+ \wedge \bar{\Omega}_- - \Omega_- \wedge \bar{\Omega}_+\big),$$ so that $H(\alpha_{W,1}) = \frac{1}{2}(\Psi_+ + \Psi_-)$ and $H(\alpha_{W,2}) = \frac{1}{2i}(\Psi_+ - \Psi_-)$, while the unnormalized differential $(m,m)$-form $\psi_- := \bar{\Omega}_+ \wedge \Omega_- = d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dw_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dw_m$ satisfies $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i/2)^m \psi_- = (i/2)^m (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} \Omega_- \wedge \bar{\Omega}_+$, i.e., $H((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i/2)^m \psi_-) = \Psi_-$.

To avoid any sign ambiguity between homology currents and Poincaré dual cohomology classes, we distinguish two natural Plücker vectors in $\mathcal{H} = \bigwedge^m V^{1,0}$ associated to a graph $m$-plane $\Gamma_B = \{(z, Bz) : z \in \mathbb{C}^m\}$ ($B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$):

Tangent Pullback Plücker Vector ($w_B$): Under the graph parametrization $\iota_B: \mathbb{C}^m_z \to \mathbb{C}^m_z \oplus \mathbb{C}^m_w$, $z \mapsto (z, Bz)$, pulling back $(1,0)$-forms sends $dz_a \mapsto dz_a$ and $dw_a \mapsto (Bz)_a$, corresponding to the unnormalized Plücker vector $w_B := \bigwedge_{a=1}^m (dz_a + (B^T dw)_a) \in \mathcal{H}$ with coefficient matrix $(I_m \mid B^T)$, extreme minors $(w_B)_{\Omega_+} = 1$ and $(w_B)_{\Omega_-} = \det B$, and unit-trace rank-$1$ projection operator $P_{\Gamma_B} := \frac{|w_B\rangle\langle w_B|}{\|w_B\|^2}$.
  2. Conormal Poincaré Dual Plücker Vector ($w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}$): In cohomology $H^{m,m}(A, \mathbb{C})$, the Poincaré dual class $[\Gamma_B] = f_B^*[0]$ of a closed graph subtorus $\Gamma_B = \{w - Bz = 0\}$ is represented via the quotient map $f_B(z, w) = w - Bz$ by the conormal $(m,m)$-form $\bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2} d(w - Bz)_a \wedge d\overline{(w - Bz)}_a$. Its holomorphic $(m,0)$ factor is the conormal Plücker vector $$w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} := \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \big(dw_a - (Bz)_a\big) \in \mathcal{H},$$ whose coefficient matrix $(-B \mid I_m)$ has extreme minors $(w_B^{\mathrm{PD}})_{\Omega_+} = (-1)^m \det B$ and $(w_B^{\mathrm{PD}})_{\Omega_-} = 1$, so that its Weil corners carry the sign factor $(-1)^m$: $\langle w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} | \Psi_+ | w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} \rangle = (-1)^m \overline{\det B}$ and $\langle w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} | \Psi_- | w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} \rangle = (-1)^m \det B$ (while replacing $B$ by $-B$, i.e. $\Gamma_{-B} = \{w + Bz = 0\}$, restores $+(\det B)$ for all $m$).

Theorem 1 (Principal-Angle Calibration & Maclaurin Exterior-Block Inequality)

Let $W = \Gamma_B \in \mathrm{Gr}(m, V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-)$ be the graph of an arbitrary matrix $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$ with singular values $\sigma_a = \tan\theta_a \ge 0$ ($\theta_a \in [0, \pi/2)$, $a = 1, \dots, m$), and let $w_B \in \mathcal{H}$ be its unnormalized tangent Plücker vector.

(a) Exact Cauchy-Binet Formulas: The squared norm, Weil pairing, and exterior-block traces of $P_{\Gamma_B} = \frac{|w_B\rangle\langle w_B|}{\|w_B\|^2}$ are given for all $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$ by $$\|w_B\|^2 = \det(I_m + B^\dagger B) = \prod_{a=1}^m (1 + \sigma_a^2) = \prod_{a=1}^m \sec^2\theta_a,$$ $$\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_- \rangle = \mathrm{Tr}(P_{\Gamma_B} \Psi_+) = \frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}, \qquad \langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_+ \rangle = \frac{\overline{\det B}}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)},$$ $$\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_B}) := \mathrm{Tr}(P_{\Gamma_B} \Pi_{E_k}) = \frac{\mathrm{Tr}(\bigwedge^k(B^\dagger B))}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)} = \frac{e_k(\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2)}{\prod_{a=1}^m (1 + \sigma_a^2)}, \qquad k = 0, 1, \dots, m,$$ where $e_k(y_1, \dots, y_m)$ denotes the $k$-th elementary symmetric polynomial (and for the conormal Poincaré dual operator $P_{\Gamma_B}^{\mathrm{PD}} = \frac{|w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}\rangle\langle w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}|}{\|w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}\|^2}$, $\|w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}\|^2 = \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$, $\langle P_{\Gamma_B}^{\mathrm{PD}}, \Psi_- \rangle = \frac{(-1)^m\overline{\det B}}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}$, and $\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_B}^{\mathrm{PD}}) = \mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(P_{\Gamma_B})$).

(b) Principal-Angle Calibration Bound & Binomial Law: For every $m$-plane $W \in \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$, $$\big|\langle P_W, \Psi_\pm \rangle\big| = \prod_{a=1}^m \frac{\sigma_a}{1 + \sigma_a^2} = \prod_{a=1}^m \cos\theta_a \sin\theta_a = 2^{-m} \prod_{a=1}^m \sin(2\theta_a) \le 2^{-m},$$ with equality $|\langle P_W, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = 2^{-m}$ if and only if $\theta_1 = \dots = \theta_m = \pi/4$ ($\sigma_1 = \dots = \sigma_m = 1$), i.e., if and only if $W = \Gamma_U$ is the graph of a unitary matrix $U \in \mathrm{U}(m)$. Moreover, at every unitary graph $W = \Gamma_U$, the exterior-block traces follow the exact binomial distribution $$\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_U}) = \mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_U}^{\mathrm{PD}}) = \binom{m}{k} 2^{-m}, \qquad k = 0, 1, \dots, m.$$

(c) Universal Maclaurin Exterior-Block Inequality, Determinant-Vandermonde Decomposition, & Plücker-Cone Calibration Bound: For every rank-$1$ Plücker operator $P_W$ and every $k \in \{0, 1, \dots, m\}$, Maclaurin's inequality enforces the pointwise exterior-block bound $$\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_W) + \mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(P_W) \ge 2\binom{m}{k}\big|\langle P_W, \Psi_\pm \rangle\big|,$$ with equality for all $k$ if and only if $W = \Gamma_U$ ($U \in \mathrm{U}(m)$). Integrating over any effective $m$-cycle $Z = \sum_r c_r [Z_r]$ ($c_r > 0$) yields $$\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(H([Z])) + \mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(H([Z])) \ge 2\binom{m}{k}\big|\langle H([Z]), \Psi_\pm \rangle\big|, \qquad k = 0, \dots, m.$$ Furthermore, in the real cone of decomposable Plücker operators on $\mathcal{H} = \bigwedge^m V^{1,0}$, for any $g \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$ and $\zeta_j = e^{i\pi j/m}$ ($j = 0, \dots, 2m-1$), let $B_{\zeta_j, g} := |w_{\zeta_j g}\rangle\langle w_{\zeta_j g}|$ be the unnormalized graph operator of $\Gamma_{\zeta_j g}$. Then the alternating average over the $2m$-th roots of unity satisfies the Universal Determinant-Vandermonde Identity $$\frac{1}{2m}\sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} (-1)^j B_{\zeta_j, g} = (\overline{\det g})\,\Psi_+ + (\det g)\,\Psi_-.$$ For any signed decomposition $H(\alpha_{W,1}) = \frac{1}{2}(\Psi_+ + \Psi_-) = \sum_r c_r P_{W_r}$ ($c_r \in \mathbb{R}$) into unit-trace rank-$1$ Plücker operators $P_{W_r}$, the $\ell_1$-norm satisfies $\sum_r |c_r| \ge 2^{m-1}$, which is attained with equality in the Plücker cone by $H(\alpha_{W,1}) = \sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} \frac{(-1)^j}{4m} B_{\zeta_j, I_m} = 2^{m-1}\sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} \frac{(-1)^j}{2m} P_{\Gamma_{\zeta_j I_m}}$. (On a split CM model $E^m \times E^m$, the graphs $\Gamma_{\zeta_j I_m}$ are lattice-rational subtori when $\zeta_{2m} \in \mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(E)$, i.e., $m=2$ on $E_i^4$ and $m=3$ on $E_{\zeta_3}^6$; Theorem 2 below constructs lattice-rational subtori on $E_i^{2m}$ for all $m \ge 2$.)

Proof

(a) Let $W_B = \begin{pmatrix} I_m \\ B \end{pmatrix} \in M_{2m \times m}(\mathbb{C})$. In the standard orthonormal basis $\{e_I\}_{|I|=m}$ of $\mathcal{H} = \bigwedge^m \mathbb{C}^{2m}$, each coordinate $(w_B)_I$ is the $m \times m$ minor $\det(W_B)_{I, \{1,\dots,m\}}$. Every $m$-element subset $I \subset \{1, \dots, 2m\}$ decomposes uniquely as $I = I_+ \sqcup (m + I_-)$ with $I_+, I_- \subset \{1, \dots, m\}$ and $|I_-| = k$, $|I_+| = m - k$. Expanding the minor of $\begin{pmatrix} I_m \\ B \end{pmatrix}$ along the rows in $I_+$ forces the selected columns of $B$ to be the complement $I_+^c$ of size $k$, so up to the permutation sign $\epsilon(I_+, I_-)$, $(w_B)_I = \epsilon(I_+, I_-) \det(B_{I_-, I_+^c})$. Summing $|(w_B)_I|^2$ over all $|I_-| = k$ and $|I_+^c| = k$ gives, by the Cauchy-Binet identity applied to $\bigwedge^k B$, $$\langle w_B, \Pi_{E_k} w_B \rangle = \sum_{|I_-|=k,\, |J|=k} |\det(B_{I_-, J})|^2 = \mathrm{Tr}\!\left(\bigwedge^k B^\dagger \bigwedge^k B\right) = \mathrm{Tr}\!\left(\bigwedge^k(B^\dagger B)\right) = e_k(\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2),$$ where $\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2$ are the eigenvalues of the positive semidefinite Hermitian matrix $B^\dagger B$. Summing over $k = 0, \dots, m$ yields $\|w_B\|^2 = \sum_{k=0}^m e_k(\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2) = \prod_{a=1}^m (1 + \sigma_a^2) = \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$. For $k = 0$, $(w_B)_{\Omega_+} = \det(I_m) = 1$; for $k = m$, $(w_B)_{\Omega_-} = \det B$. Hence $\langle w_B | \Psi_+ | w_B \rangle = \overline{(w_B)_{\Omega_+}} (w_B)_{\Omega_-} = \det B$, and dividing by $\|w_B\|^2 = \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$ gives the stated formulas. For the conormal vector $w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m (dw_a - (Bz)_a)$, the roles of $V^{1,0}_+$ and $V^{1,0}_-$ are interchanged with $B$ replaced by $-B$, so $(w_B^{\mathrm{PD}})_{\Omega_+} = \det(-B) = (-1)^m \det B$ and $(w_B^{\mathrm{PD}})_{\Omega_-} = 1$, giving $\langle w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} | \Psi_+ | w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} \rangle = (-1)^m \overline{\det B}$ and $\langle w_B^{\mathrm{PD}}, \Pi_{E_k} w_B^{\mathrm{PD}} \rangle = e_{m-k}(\sigma_1^2, \dots, \sigma_m^2)$.

(b) Taking absolute values, $|\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = \frac{\prod_{a=1}^m \sigma_a}{\prod_{a=1}^m (1+\sigma_a^2)} = \prod_{a=1}^m \frac{\tan\theta_a}{\sec^2\theta_a} = \prod_{a=1}^m \cos\theta_a \sin\theta_a \le 2^{-m}$ by AM-GM ($\sigma_a / (1+\sigma_a^2) \le 1/2$, with equality if and only if $\sigma_a = 1$ for all $a = 1, \dots, m$, i.e., $B^\dagger B = I_m$). On the boundary $\mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m) \setminus M_m(\mathbb{C})$ where $\dim(W \cap V^{1,0}_-) \ge 1$ ($\theta_a = \pi/2$ for some $a$), the pairing vanishes identically ($0 < 2^{-m}$). When $B = U \in \mathrm{U}(m)$, $\sigma_1 = \dots = \sigma_m = 1$, so $e_k(1, \dots, 1) = \binom{m}{k} = \binom{m}{m-k}$ and $\det(I_m + U^\dagger U) = 2^m$, giving $\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_U}) = \mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_U}^{\mathrm{PD}}) = \binom{m}{k}2^{-m}$.

(c) Let $y_a = \sigma_a^2 \ge 0$ and $\tau = (\prod_{a=1}^m y_a)^{1/m} = |\det B|^{2/m}$. By Maclaurin's inequality for elementary symmetric polynomials, $e_k(y) \ge \binom{m}{k}\tau^k$ and $e_{m-k}(y) \ge \binom{m}{m-k}\tau^{m-k} = \binom{m}{k}\tau^{m-k}$. By AM-GM, $e_k(y) + e_{m-k}(y) \ge \binom{m}{k}(\tau^k + \tau^{m-k}) \ge 2\binom{m}{k}\tau^{m/2} = 2\binom{m}{k}|\det B|$. Dividing both sides by $\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$ gives $\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_B}) + \mathrm{Tr}_{E_{m-k}}(P_{\Gamma_B}) \ge 2\binom{m}{k}|\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_\pm \rangle|$. Next, in $w_{\zeta_j g} = \sum_{k=0}^m \zeta_j^k w_g^{(k)}$ ($w_g^{(k)} \in E_k$, $w_g^{(0)} = \Omega_+$, $w_g^{(m)} = (\det g)\Omega_-$), expanding $B_{\zeta_j, g} = |w_{\zeta_j g}\rangle\langle w_{\zeta_j g}|$ gives $\sum_{k,l=0}^m \zeta_j^{k-l} |w_g^{(k)}\rangle\langle w_g^{(l)}|$. Since $(-1)^j = \zeta_j^{\pm m}$ and $\frac{1}{2m}\sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} \zeta_j^r = 0$ for all $1 \le |r| \le 2m-1$, the alternating sum $\frac{1}{2m}\sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} (-1)^j \zeta_j^{k-l}$ vanishes for all $0 \le k, l \le m$ except $(k,l) = (0, m)$ and $(m, 0)$, where $\zeta_j^{\pm m} = (-1)^j$ gives $1$, leaving $|w_g^{(0)}\rangle\langle w_g^{(m)}| + |w_g^{(m)}\rangle\langle w_g^{(0)}| = (\overline{\det g})\Psi_+ + (\det g)\Psi_-$. Finally, if $H(\alpha_{W,1}) = \frac{1}{2}(\Psi_+ + \Psi_-) = \sum_r c_r P_{W_r}$, pairing with $\Psi_+$ gives $\frac{1}{2} = \sum_r c_r \langle P_{W_r}, \Psi_+ \rangle \le 2^{-m} \sum_r |c_r|$, so $\sum_r |c_r| \ge 2^{m-1}$, attained with equality by $2^{m-1}\sum_{j=0}^{2m-1} \frac{(-1)^j}{2m} P_{\Gamma_{\zeta_j I_m}}$. $\blacksquare$


3. Factored Double-Monomial $\mathrm{SU}(m)$-Designs and Conormal Effective Weil Cycles

Theorem 1(c) shows two obstacles to realizing $c\omega_Q^m + \alpha_{W,1}$ by flat subtori on the split CM model $E_i^{2m}$ for arbitrary $m \ge 2$: first, for $m \ge 3$, the $2m$-th root of unity $\zeta_{2m} = e^{i\pi/m}$ does not lie in $\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(E_i) = \mathbb{Q}(i)$, so $\Gamma_{\zeta_j I_m}$ is not a lattice-rational subtorus of $E_i^{2m}$; second, on $E_k$, a single unitary graph distributes its trace according to the binomial law $\binom{m}{k}2^{-m}$ rather than $\dim E_k = \binom{m}{k}^2$ and carries non-zero off-diagonal blocks between $E_k$ and $E_{k'}$ ($k \ne k'$).

To obtain lattice-rational abelian subvarieties of $E_i^{2m}$ for all $m \ge 2$ while eliminating all off-diagonal and anisotropic entries simultaneously using only positive weights (so that the resulting cycle is effective), we average over the finite subgroup of $\mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ generated by permutations and 4th roots of unity $\mu_4 = \{\pm 1, \pm i\} \subset \mathrm{End}(E_i)$.

Definition 1 (Special Monomial Group $G_m$)

For any integer $m \ge 2$, define the special monomial group $$G_m := \left\{ g = D_\varepsilon P_\pi \in M_m(\mathbb{Z}[i]) \;\middle|\; \varepsilon = (\varepsilon_1, \dots, \varepsilon_m) \in \{1, i, -1, -i\}^m,\; \pi \in S_m,\; \det(g) = \mathrm{sgn}(\pi)\prod_{a=1}^m \varepsilon_a = 1 \right\}.$$ Because the first $m-1$ phases $\varepsilon_1, \dots, \varepsilon_{m-1} \in \mu_4$ can be chosen freely ($4^{m-1}$ choices) and uniquely determine $\varepsilon_m = \mathrm{sgn}(\pi)\prod_{a=1}^{m-1} \varepsilon_a^{-1} \in \mu_4$ for each $\pi \in S_m$, $G_m$ is a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ of exact order $$|G_m| = 4^{m-1} m! = 2^{2m-2} m! \qquad (|G_2| = 8,\; |G_3| = 96,\; |G_4| = 1536).$$

Theorem 2 (Factored Double-Monomial $\mathrm{SU}(m)$-Design & Conormal Poincaré Dual Effective Weil Cycle Realization)

Let $G_m \times G_m$ act on $\mathrm{Gr}(m, V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-)$ via the block-diagonal representation $\rho(g_1, g_2) = \mathrm{diag}(g_1, g_2)$ on $V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-$ (sending a graph matrix $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$ to $g_2 B g_1^\dagger$), and define the factored Reynolds projector on $\mathrm{End}(\mathcal{H})$ by $$\mathcal{R}_{G_m \times G_m}(M) := \frac{1}{|G_m|^2} \sum_{(g_1, g_2) \in G_m \times G_m} \left(\bigwedge^m \rho(g_1, g_2)\right) M \left(\bigwedge^m \rho(g_1, g_2)\right)^\dagger.$$

(a) Universal Double-Monomial Operator Identity: For every (not necessarily unitary) matrix $B \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$, the Reynolds average of its rank-$1$ Plücker projection operator $P_{\Gamma_B} = \frac{|w_B\rangle\langle w_B|}{\|w_B\|^2}$ is given identically by $$\mathcal{R}_{G_m \times G_m}(P_{\Gamma_B}) = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{\mathrm{Tr}(\bigwedge^k(B^\dagger B))}{\binom{m}{k}^2 \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}\,\Pi_{E_k} + \frac{\overline{\det B}}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}\,\Psi_+ + \frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}\,\Psi_-.$$

(b) Single-Group Reduction, Conormal Poincaré Dual Sign $(-1)^m$, and Lattice-Rational Effective Weil Cycle on $E_i^{2m}$: On the split CM model $A_0 = E_i^m \times E_i^m$ (where $E_i = \mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}[i]$ has $\mathrm{End}(E_i) = \mathbb{Z}[i]$ acting with $+i$ on the first $m$ factors and $-i$ on the last $m$ factors), every $g \in G_m \subset M_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ defines two lattice-rational $m$-dimensional abelian subvarieties $\Gamma_g = \{w - gz = 0\}$ and $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w + gz = 0\}$ in $A_0$. Since $\Delta(G_m) = \{(g, g) : g \in G_m\}$ stabilizes $I_m$, the single-$G_m$ orbit average of the unnormalized tangent Plücker operators $B_{1, g} = |w_g\rangle\langle w_g|$ equals $\frac{1}{|G_m|} \sum_{g \in G_m} B_{1, g} = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}} \Pi_{E_k} + \Psi_+ + \Psi_-$, whereas for the Poincaré dual cohomology classes $[\Gamma_g] = f_g^*[0] = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2} d(w-gz)_a \wedge d\overline{(w-gz)}_a$ represented by the conormal operators $B_{1, g}^{\mathrm{PD}} = |w_g^{\mathrm{PD}}\rangle\langle w_g^{\mathrm{PD}}|$ (whose conormal matrix $(-g \mid I_m)$ has extreme minor $(-1)^m\det g = (-1)^m$), the $G_m$-orbit average is $$\frac{1}{|G_m|} \sum_{g \in G_m} H([\Gamma_g]) = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}} \Pi_{E_k} + (-1)^m(\Psi_+ + \Psi_-), \qquad \frac{1}{|G_m|} \sum_{g \in G_m} H([\Gamma_{-g}]) = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}} \Pi_{E_k} + \Psi_+ + \Psi_-.$$ For each $1 \le k \le m-1$ and each pair of conormal coordinate subsets $(I_+, I_-)$ with $|I_+|=m-k, |I_-|=k$, let $C_{I_+, I_-} := \{z_a = 0 \;(a \in I_+),\; w_b = 0 \;(b \in I_-)\} \subset A_0$ be the coordinate abelian subvariety (supported on the complementary coordinates $I_+^c, I_-^c$) whose conormal Poincaré dual operator is $H([C_{I_+, I_-}]) = |e_{I_+ \sqcup (m+I_-)}\rangle\langle e_{I_+ \sqcup (m+I_-)}|$, so that $\sum_{|I_+|=m-k, |I_-|=k} H([C_{I_+, I_-}]) = \Pi_{E_k}$. Then for every $m \ge 2$, the explicitly positive rational combination of abelian subvarieties of $A_0 = E_i^{2m}$ $$\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)} := \frac{1}{|G_m|} \sum_{g \in G_m} [\Gamma_{-g}] + \sum_{k=1}^{m-1} \left(1 - \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}}\right) \sum_{\substack{|I_+|=m-k \\ |I_-|=k}} [C_{I_+, I_-}] \ge 0$$ has Poincaré dual cohomology class represented by the exact Hermitian operator $$H([\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}]) = I_{\mathcal{H}} + \Psi_+ + \Psi_- = \frac{1}{m!}H(\omega_Q^m) + 2H(\alpha_{W,1}),$$ and the Hodge locus of the cohomology class $[\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}]$ inside the Siegel upper half-space $\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$ is the $m^2$-dimensional Weil PEL Shimura variety $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$.

Proof

(a) Let $A_m := \{D_\varepsilon = \mathrm{diag}(\varepsilon_1, \dots, \varepsilon_m) \in \mu_4^m : \prod_{a=1}^m \varepsilon_a = 1\} \triangleleft G_m$ be the normal abelian subgroup of special phase matrices of order $4^{m-1}$. Consider first the phase average over $A_m \times \{I_m\}$ acting on $V^{1,0}_+$. For any two basis elements $e_I = e_{I_+ \sqcup (m+I_-)}$ and $e_J = e_{J_+ \sqcup (m+J_-)}$ of $\mathcal{H}$, $D_\varepsilon \in A_m$ multiplies $|e_I\rangle\langle e_J|$ by the character $$\chi_{I_+, J_+}(\varepsilon) = \prod_{a=1}^m \varepsilon_a^{n_a}, \qquad n_a := \mathbf{1}_{a \in I_+} - \mathbf{1}_{a \in J_+} \in \{-1, 0, +1\}.$$ Because $A_m = \{\varepsilon \in \mu_4^m : \prod_{a=1}^m \varepsilon_a = 1\}$, character orthogonality implies that $\frac{1}{|A_m|}\sum_{\varepsilon \in A_m} \chi_{I_+, J_+}(\varepsilon)$ is $1$ if and only if $n_1 \equiv n_2 \equiv \dots \equiv n_m \pmod 4$, and $0$ otherwise. Since $n_a \in \{-1, 0, +1\}$ and $+1 \not\equiv -1 \pmod 4$, congruence modulo $4$ is equivalent to exact equality $n_1 = n_2 = \dots = n_m$ in $\{-1, 0, +1\}$! There are only three possibilities:

  1. $n_1 = \dots = n_m = 0 \iff I_+ = J_+$;
  2. $n_1 = \dots = n_m = +1 \iff I_+ = \{1, \dots, m\}$ and $J_+ = \emptyset$ (so $|I_-|=0, |J_-|=m$, i.e., $e_I = \Omega_+, e_J = \Omega_-$);
  3. $n_1 = \dots = n_m = -1 \iff I_+ = \emptyset$ and $J_+ = \{1, \dots, m\}$ (so $e_I = \Omega_-, e_J = \Omega_+$).

Applying the identical phase average over $\{I_m\} \times A_m$ on $V^{1,0}_-$ forces $I_- = J_-$ whenever $I_+ = J_+$. Thus averaging over $A_m \times A_m$ already annihilates every off-diagonal matrix entry of $P_{\Gamma_B}$ except the two opposite Weil corners $|\Omega_+\rangle\langle\Omega_-| = \Psi_+$ and $|\Omega_-\rangle\langle\Omega_+| = \Psi_-$! Next, for each $g = D_\varepsilon P_\pi \in G_m$, $\det g = 1$ means $\bigwedge^m g$ fixes both $\Omega_+$ and $\Omega_-$, so the coefficients of $\Psi_+$ and $\Psi_-$ are completely invariant under $G_m \times G_m$ and remain equal to $\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_- \rangle = \overline{\det B}/\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$ and $\det B/\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)$. Finally, on the diagonal of each exterior block $E_k$, the permutation action of $S_m \times S_m$ (embedded in $G_m \times G_m$ via $P_{\pi_1} D_{\varepsilon_1}, P_{\pi_2} D_{\varepsilon_2}$) acts transitively on the $\binom{m}{k} \times \binom{m}{k} = \binom{m}{k}^2$ pairs $(I_+, I_-)$ with $|I_+|=m-k, |I_-|=k$. Therefore, $\mathcal{R}_{G_m \times G_m}(P_{\Gamma_B})|_{E_k}$ is a scalar multiple of $\Pi_{E_k}$, and taking the trace using Theorem 1(a) fixes the scalar to $\frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}^2}\mathrm{Tr}_{E_k}(P_{\Gamma_B}) = \frac{\mathrm{Tr}(\bigwedge^k(B^\dagger B))}{\binom{m}{k}^2 \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}$.

(b) Since $G_m \subset M_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ has entries in $\mathbb{Z}[i] = \mathrm{End}(E_i)$, both $\Gamma_g = \{w - gz = 0\}$ and $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w + gz = 0\}$ are closed complex subtori of $E_i^m \times E_i^m$. Under the quotient homomorphism $f_g(z, w) = w - gz: E_i^{2m} \to E_i^m$ (whose fiber over $0$ is $\Gamma_g$ with multiplicity $1$), the Poincaré dual cohomology class is $[\Gamma_g] = f_g^*[0] = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2} d(w-gz)_a \wedge d\overline{(w-gz)}_a$, which corresponds to the conormal Plücker vector $w_g^{\mathrm{PD}} = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m (dw_a - (gz)_a)$ with extreme minors $(-1)^m \det g = (-1)^m$ on $\Omega_+$ and $1$ on $\Omega_-$. For $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w + gz = 0\}$, replacing $g$ by $-g$ multiplies the $\Omega_+$ minor by $(-1)^m$, yielding $(-1)^{2m} \det g = +1$ for all $g \in G_m$ and all $m \ge 2$! Averaging over $g \in G_m$ via part (a) gives $\frac{1}{|G_m|}\sum_{g \in G_m} H([\Gamma_{-g}]) = \sum_{k=0}^m \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}}\Pi_{E_k} + \Psi_+ + \Psi_-$, and adding $\sum_{k=1}^{m-1}(1 - \frac{1}{\binom{m}{k}})\Pi_{E_k}$ (where $C_{I_+, I_-} = \{z_a = 0 \;(a \in I_+), w_b = 0 \;(b \in I_-)\}$ has conormal Poincaré dual $\bigwedge_{a \in I_+}\frac{i}{2}dz_a \wedge d\bar{z}_a \wedge \bigwedge_{b \in I_-}\frac{i}{2}dw_b \wedge d\bar{w}_b = \Upsilon_{I_+ \sqcup (m+I_-), I_+ \sqcup (m+I_-)}$) completes $\sum_{k=0}^m \Pi_{E_k} = I_{\mathcal{H}} = \frac{1}{m!}H(\omega_Q^m)$.

Finally, to prove that the Hodge locus $\mathrm{HL}(\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q), [\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}])$ of the cohomology class $[\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}] = \frac{1}{m!}[\omega_Q^m] + 2[\alpha_{W,1}]$ inside $\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$ equals $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$, note first that $\frac{1}{m!}[\omega_Q^m]$ has pure Hodge type $(m,m)$ at every $\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$, so $\tau \in \mathrm{HL}(\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q), [\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)}])$ if and only if the topological class $\alpha_{W,1} \in H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ has pure Hodge type $(m,m)$ at $\tau$. Let $W_+ \oplus W_- = H^1(A_\tau, \mathbb{C})$ be the fixed topological $\pm i$-eigenspaces of $\phi^*$ ($\dim_{\mathbb{C}} W_\pm = 2m$, $W_- = \overline{W_+}$), and let $\eta_+ \in \bigwedge^{2m} W_+$ and $\eta_- = \overline{\eta_+} \in \bigwedge^{2m} W_-$ be the top exterior generators such that $\alpha_{W,1} = c_0(\eta_+ + \eta_-)$ ($c_0 \ne 0$). Under the Künneth decomposition $$\bigwedge^{2m}\big(W_+ \oplus W_-\big) = \bigoplus_{p=0}^{2m} \left(\bigwedge^{2m-p} W_+ \otimes \bigwedge^p W_-\right),$$ $\eta_+$ lies entirely in the $p = 0$ summand $\bigwedge^{2m} W_+ \otimes \bigwedge^0 W_-$, whereas $\eta_-$ lies entirely in the $p = 2m$ summand $\bigwedge^0 W_+ \otimes \bigwedge^{2m} W_-$. At any point $\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$, the Hodge filtration $F^1_\tau = H^{1,0}(A_\tau) \subset H^1(A_\tau, \mathbb{C})$ is a $2m$-dimensional subspace with $F^1_\tau \oplus \overline{F^1_\tau} = H^1(A_\tau, \mathbb{C})$, and a $2m$-form $\alpha$ has pure Hodge type $(m,m)$ at $\tau$ if and only if $\alpha \in F^m_\tau \cap \overline{F^m_\tau}$, which is equivalent to vanishing on every $(m+1, m-1)$-type subspace, i.e., $v_1 \wedge \dots \wedge v_{m+1} \lrcorner\, \alpha = 0$ for all $v_1, \dots, v_{m+1} \in F^1_\tau$. Suppose $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_+) \ge m+1$ (or $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(\overline{F^1_\tau} \cap W_+) = \dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_-) \ge m+1$). Choosing $m+1$ linearly independent vectors $v_1, \dots, v_{m+1} \in F^1_\tau \cap W_+$, their interior product with $\eta_- \in \bigwedge^{2m} W_-$ vanishes identically ($v_r \lrcorner\, \eta_- = 0$), whereas $v_1 \wedge \dots \wedge v_{m+1} \lrcorner\, \eta_+ \ne 0$ in $\bigwedge^{m-1} W_+$, so $\alpha_{W,1}$ has a non-zero $(m-1, m+1)$-component! Conversely, if $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_+) \le m$, consider the projection $\pi_-: F^1_\tau \to W_-$ along $W_+$; if $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_+) < m$, then $\mathrm{rank}(\pi_-) > m$, so choosing $m+1$ vectors in $F^1_\tau$ whose $W_-$-projections are linearly independent and contracting against the $W_+$ Künneth degree-$0$ component $\eta_-$ produces a non-zero element of $\bigwedge^{m-1} W_-$, which cannot be cancelled by $\eta_+ \in \bigwedge^{2m} W_+$ because $\bigwedge^{2m} W_+$ has $W_-$-degree $0 < m+1$. Thus $\alpha_{W,1}$ has pure type $(m,m)$ at $\tau$ if and only if $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_+) = m$ and $\dim_{\mathbb{C}}(F^1_\tau \cap W_-) = m$, i.e., $F^1_\tau = (F^1_\tau \cap W_+) \oplus (F^1_\tau \cap W_-)$ is $\phi^*$-invariant of signature $(m,m)$, which is precisely $\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$ [4, 5]. $\blacksquare$

4. Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-Form Identity and Universal Chebyshev-Weil Projector on Simple Weil Varieties

On the split CM abelian $2m$-fold $A_0 = E_i^m \times E_i^m$, the unitary graphs $\Gamma_{-g}$ ($g \in G_m$) are flat abelian subvarieties. What happens when we deform $A_0$ to a simple Weil abelian $2m$-fold $A_\tau$ ($\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$ generic, $m \ge 2$), which contains no proper abelian subvarieties at all? Any analytic subvariety $Z \subset A_\tau$ of dimension $m$ must have a non-constant holomorphic Gauss map $\gamma_Z: Z^{\mathrm{sm}} \to \mathrm{Gr}(m, V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-)$, $z \mapsto T_z Z^{\mathrm{sm}} = \Gamma_{B(z)}$.

Theorem 3 (Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-Form Identity, Total-Reality Rigidity, & Universal Chebyshev-Weil Endomorphism Projector)

Let $\mathcal{U} := \{\Gamma_U : U \in \mathrm{U}(m)\} \subset \mathrm{Gr}(m, V^{1,0}_+ \oplus V^{1,0}_-)$ be the locus of $m$-planes saturating the Principal-Angle Calibration Bound $|\langle P_W, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = 2^{-m}$, and define the logarithmic Weil calibration defect on the open chart $\{B \in M_m(\mathbb{C}) : \det B \ne 0\}$ by $$\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B) := -\log\!\left(2^m \big|\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_- \rangle\big|\right) = \log\det(I_m + B^\dagger B) - \frac{1}{2}\log(\det B\,\overline{\det B}) - m\log 2 = \sum_{a=1}^m \log\cosh(\log\sigma_a).$$

(a) Total-Reality Rigidity of $\mathcal{U}$: The calibration-saturating locus $\mathcal{U} = \mathrm{U}(m) \subset M_m(\mathbb{C}) \subset \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ is a maximally totally real submanifold of real dimension $m^2$ inside the $m^2$-dimensional complex manifold $\mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$: $$T_U \mathcal{U} \cap i\, T_U \mathcal{U} = \{0\} \qquad \forall\, U \in \mathcal{U}.$$ Consequently, if $Z \subset A_\tau$ is an irreducible $m$-dimensional analytic subvariety whose smooth locus satisfies $|\langle P_{T_z Z}, \Psi_\pm \rangle| = 2^{-m}$ on a non-empty open subset $V_0 \subset Z^{\mathrm{sm}}$, then $d\gamma_Z \equiv 0$ on $V_0$ (and hence on $Z^{\mathrm{sm}}$ by analytic continuation) and $Z$ is a translate of a flat abelian subvariety.

(b) Exact Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-Form Identity: Along any holomorphic map $z \mapsto B(z) \in M_m(\mathbb{C})$ ($\bar{\partial}B = 0$, $\bar{\partial}(B^\dagger) = (\partial B)^\dagger$) with $\det B(z) \ne 0$, the complex Hessian (Levi form) $i\partial\bar{\partial}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z))$ equals the pullback of the Plücker Fubini-Study Kähler metric $\omega_{\mathrm{Pl\ddot{u}cker}} = i\partial\bar{\partial}\log\|w_B\|^2$ on $\mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$: $$i\partial\bar{\partial}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z)) = i\,\mathrm{Tr}\!\left((I_m + B B^\dagger)^{-1}\,\partial B \wedge (I_m + B^\dagger B)^{-1}\,\bar{\partial} B^\dagger\right) = \gamma_Z^*(\omega_{\mathrm{Pl\ddot{u}cker}}) \ge 0,$$ which is strictly positive whenever $\partial B(z) \ne 0$. Moreover, for the directional calibration density $\Phi_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B) := \mathrm{Re}\,\langle P_{\Gamma_B}, \Psi_- \rangle = \mathrm{Re}\frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)}$, the complex $(1,1)$-Hessian at any optimal point $U \in \mathrm{SU}(m)$ is strictly negative-definite: $$-i\partial\bar{\partial}\Phi_{\mathrm{Weil}}\big|_{B = U} = 2^{-m-2}\,i\Big(\mathrm{Tr}(\partial B \wedge \bar{\partial} B^\dagger) + \mathrm{Tr}(U^\dagger \partial B) \wedge \overline{\mathrm{Tr}(U^\dagger \partial B)}\Big) \ge 0.$$

(c) Strict Kähler-to-Weil Calibration Deficit on Simple Weil Abelian Varieties: Let $\psi_- := \bar{\Omega}_+ \wedge \Omega_- = d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dw_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dw_m$ be the unnormalized $(m,m)$ Weil differential form on $A_\tau$ (so $H((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i/2)^m \psi_-) = \Psi_-$) and let $v_0 = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2} dz_a \wedge d\bar{z}_a$. At any smooth point $z$ of an $m$-dimensional subvariety $Z_r \subset A_\tau$ with $T_z Z_r = \Gamma_{B(z)}$, direct wedge reordering gives $\psi_-|_{T_z Z_r} = (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} (2i)^m (\det B(z))\, v_0 = (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} (2i)^m \langle P_{\Gamma_{B(z)}}, \Psi_- \rangle \frac{\omega_Q^m|_{T_z Z_r}}{m!}$. Consequently, multiplying by $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m$ cancels the phase $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} i^m$, and every effective algebraic $m$-cycle $Z = \sum_r c_r [Z_r]$ ($c_r > 0$) on $A_\tau$ satisfies the exact Kähler-to-Weil calibration inequality $$\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) := \frac{1}{m!}\int_Z \omega_Q^m - \mathrm{Re}\!\left((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m \int_Z \psi_-\right) = \sum_r c_r \int_{Z_r^{\mathrm{sm}}} \big(1 - 2^m \Phi_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\gamma_{Z_r}(z))\big)\,\frac{\omega_Q^m}{m!} \ge 0,$$ with equality $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) = 0$ if and only if every component $Z_r$ is a translate of a flat abelian subvariety with $\gamma_{Z_r} \in \mathrm{SU}(m)$ (for instance, on $E_i^4$ with $m=2$, $(-1)^{\binom{2}{2}}(-i)^2 = +1$, so $Z = \Gamma_{I_2}$ has $\int_Z \frac{\omega_Q^2}{2!} = 4 = \int_Z \psi_-$ and $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(\Gamma_{I_2}) = 0$, whereas $Z = \Gamma_{\mathrm{diag}(-1,1)} \notin \mathrm{SU}(2)$ has $\int_Z \psi_- = -4$ and $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(\Gamma_{\mathrm{diag}(-1,1)}) = 8 > 0$). In particular, if $A_\tau$ ($m \ge 2$) is a simple Weil abelian $2m$-fold, every effective $m$-cycle $Z$ with $\mathrm{Re}((-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m \int_Z \psi_-) > 0$ obeys the strict curvature gap $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) > 0$.

(d) Universal Chebyshev-Weil Endomorphism Projector $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)]$ Across All Simple Fibers: On every fiber $A_\tau \in \mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$ (including generic simple fibers where $\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau) = K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-d})$, $\phi^2 = -d$), let $H^1(A_\tau, \mathbb{C}) = W_+ \oplus W_-$ be the $\pm i\sqrt{d}$ eigenspace decomposition ($\dim W_\pm = 2m$), so that $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{C}) = \bigoplus_{k=0}^{2m} \mathcal{W}_k$ with $\mathcal{W}_k := \bigwedge^{2m-k} W_+ \otimes \bigwedge^k W_-$ ($\dim \mathcal{W}_k = \binom{2m}{k}^2$) and $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau) = (\mathcal{W}_0 \oplus \mathcal{W}_{2m}) \cap H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$. For each integer pair $(a_j, b_j) = (j, 1)$ ($j = 0, 1, \dots, m$), define the norm-normalized integer-endomorphism correspondence $$T_{a_j, b_j} := \frac{[a_j + b_j \phi]^* + [a_j - b_j \phi]^*}{2(a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)] \subset \mathrm{Corr}^0(A_\tau, A_\tau)_{\mathbb{Q}}$$ and rational Chebyshev node $x_j := \frac{a_j^2 - d b_j^2}{a_j^2 + d b_j^2} = 1 - \frac{2d}{j^2 + d} \in [-1, 1) \cap \mathbb{Q}$. Then $-1 = x_0 < x_1 < \dots < x_m < 1$ are strictly increasing, the Chebyshev-Vandermonde evaluation matrix $M = (T_r(x_j))_{0 \le r, j \le m}$ is invertible with strictly positive determinant $$\det\big(T_r(x_j)\big)_{0 \le r, j \le m} = 2^{\binom{m}{2}} \prod_{0 \le i < j \le m} (x_j - x_i) > 0,$$ and the unique solution $(c_0, \dots, c_m) \in \mathbb{Q}^{m+1}$ to $\sum_{j=0}^m c_j T_r(x_j) = \delta_{r, m}$ ($0 \le r \le m$) is given in closed form by Lagrange-Chebyshev interpolation: $$c_j = \frac{1}{2^{m-1} \prod_{\ell \ne j} (x_j - x_\ell)} \in \mathbb{Q}^\times, \qquad j = 0, 1, \dots, m.$$ The resulting rational algebraic correspondence $$\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} := \sum_{j=0}^m c_j \, T_{j, 1} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)] \subset \mathrm{Corr}^0(A_\tau, A_\tau)_{\mathbb{Q}}$$ induces an idempotent operator on the middle cohomology $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ ($\big(\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}\big|_{H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})}\big)^2 = \Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}\big|_{H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})}$, of rank $2$ and trace $2$ on $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$) that acts as $0$ on all $2m-1$ non-Weil weight spaces $\mathcal{W}_1, \dots, \mathcal{W}_{2m-1}$ (annihilating $\binom{4m}{2m} - 2$ dimensions of $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$) and as the identity $\mathrm{id}_2$ on the $2$-dimensional rational Weil space $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau) \subset H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ across all of $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$! Explicitly, for $K = \mathbb{Q}(i)$ ($d=1$): $$\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(2)} = \frac{5}{16} T_{0,1} - \frac{5}{6} T_{1,1} + \frac{25}{48} T_{2,1}, \qquad \Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(3)} = -\frac{25}{288} T_{0,1} + \frac{25}{48} T_{1,1} - \frac{125}{96} T_{2,1} + \frac{125}{144} T_{3,1}.$$ Furthermore, composing $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}$ with Lieberman's algebraic Künneth projector onto $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$, $$\pi_{2m} := \prod_{\substack{0 \le q \le 4m \\ q \ne 2m}} \frac{[2]^* - 2^q\,\mathrm{id}}{2^{2m} - 2^q} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}(A_\tau)], \qquad \widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} := \pi_{2m} \circ \Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)] \subset \mathrm{Corr}^0(A_\tau, A_\tau)_{\mathbb{Q}},$$ annihilates $H^q(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ for all $q \ne 2m$ as well as $\bigoplus_{k=1}^{2m-1}\mathcal{W}_k \subset H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$, defining a cohomological idempotent ($\widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} \circ \widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} = \widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}$) on the full cohomology ring $H^*(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q}) = \bigoplus_{q=0}^{4m} H^q(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ with image $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$.

Proof

(a) At any $U \in \mathrm{U}(m)$, differentiating $B^\dagger B = I_m$ gives $U^\dagger \dot{B} + \dot{B}^\dagger U = 0$, so $T_U \mathrm{U}(m) = \{U X : X^\dagger = -X\}$. Multiplying by $i$ gives $i T_U \mathrm{U}(m) = \{U Y : Y^\dagger = Y\}$. Since a matrix cannot be both skew-Hermitian and Hermitian unless it is zero, $T_U \mathcal{U} \cap i T_U \mathcal{U} = \{0\}$. If the holomorphic Gauss map $\gamma_Z: Z^{\mathrm{sm}} \to \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ ($d\gamma_Z \circ J_Z = i\, d\gamma_Z$) maps a non-empty open subset $V_0 \subset Z^{\mathrm{sm}}$ into $\mathcal{U}$, then at every point $z \in V_0$ its differential $d\gamma_{Z, z}(T_z V_0)$ is tangent to $\mathcal{U}$ and $i$-invariant, so it lies in $T_{\gamma_Z(z)}\mathcal{U} \cap i T_{\gamma_Z(z)}\mathcal{U} = \{0\}$. Thus $d\gamma_Z \equiv 0$ on $V_0$, and by analytic continuation $d\gamma_Z \equiv 0$ on the connected complex manifold $Z^{\mathrm{sm}}$, so $Z$ is a translate of a flat subtorus.

(b) Along a holomorphic map $z \mapsto B(z)$ where $\det B(z) \ne 0$, $\log\det B(z)$ is holomorphic ($\bar{\partial}B = 0$) and $\log\overline{\det B(z)}$ is anti-holomorphic ($\partial B^\dagger = 0$), so $\partial\bar{\partial}\log|\det B(z)|^2 = 0$. Therefore, $$i\partial\bar{\partial}\mathcal{L}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(B(z)) = i\partial\bar{\partial}\log\det(I_m + B(z)^\dagger B(z)) = i\partial\bar{\partial}\log\|w_{B(z)}\|^2 = \gamma_Z^*(\omega_{\mathrm{Pl\ddot{u}cker}}).$$ To compute the matrix $(1,1)$-form explicitly, set $M = I_m + B^\dagger B$. Since $\bar{\partial} B = 0$ and $\partial B^\dagger = 0$, Jacobi's formula gives $\bar{\partial}\log\det M = \mathrm{Tr}(M^{-1} \bar{\partial} M) = \mathrm{Tr}((I_m + B^\dagger B)^{-1} \bar{\partial}B^\dagger\, B)$. Differentiating with respect to $\partial$ and using $\partial(M^{-1}) = -M^{-1}(\partial M)M^{-1} = -M^{-1} B^\dagger (\partial B) M^{-1}$ together with the graded cyclic trace identity $\mathrm{Tr}(\alpha \wedge \beta) = -\mathrm{Tr}(\beta \wedge \alpha)$ for $1$-forms $\alpha, \beta$ yields $$i\partial\bar{\partial}\log\det M = -i\,\mathrm{Tr}\!\left(M^{-1}\bar{\partial}B^\dagger \big(I_m - B M^{-1} B^\dagger\big) \wedge \partial B\right) = i\,\mathrm{Tr}\!\left(\big(I_m - B M^{-1} B^\dagger\big)\partial B \wedge M^{-1}\bar{\partial}B^\dagger\right).$$ By the Woodbury matrix identity, $I_m - B(I_m + B^\dagger B)^{-1}B^\dagger = (I_m + B B^\dagger)^{-1}$, which yields the exact positive-definite $(1,1)$-form $i\,\mathrm{Tr}((I_m + B B^\dagger)^{-1}\partial B \wedge (I_m + B^\dagger B)^{-1}\bar{\partial}B^\dagger) \ge 0$. Similarly, expanding $B(z) = U(I_m + X(z))$ around $U \in \mathrm{SU}(m)$ to second order in $X, X^\dagger$ gives $\det(I_m + X) = 1 + \mathrm{Tr}(X) + \frac{1}{2}((\mathrm{Tr}\,X)^2 - \mathrm{Tr}(X^2)) + O(\|X\|^3)$ and $\det(I_m + (I_m+X^\dagger)(I_m+X)) = 2^m \det(I_m + \frac{1}{2}(X + X^\dagger + X^\dagger X))$. Retaining the $(1,1)$-bidegree mixed terms $\partial X \wedge \bar{\partial} X^\dagger$ and $\mathrm{Tr}(\partial X) \wedge \mathrm{Tr}(\bar{\partial} X^\dagger)$ yields $-i\partial\bar{\partial}\Phi_{\mathrm{Weil}}|_{B=U} = 2^{-m-2}\,i(\mathrm{Tr}(\partial B \wedge \bar{\partial} B^\dagger) + \mathrm{Tr}(U^\dagger \partial B) \wedge \overline{\mathrm{Tr}(U^\dagger \partial B)}) \ge 0$.

(c) Let $v_0 = \bigwedge_{a=1}^m \frac{i}{2} dz_a \wedge d\bar{z}_a$. Since $(d\bar{z}_1 \wedge dz_1) \wedge \dots \wedge (d\bar{z}_m \wedge dz_m) = (-1)^m (dz_1 \wedge d\bar{z}_1) \wedge \dots \wedge (dz_m \wedge d\bar{z}_m) = (-1)^m (\frac{2}{i})^m v_0 = (2i)^m v_0$, moving $dz_1, \dots, dz_m$ across $d\bar{z}_1, \dots, d\bar{z}_m$ in $d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dz_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dz_m$ introduces $(m-1) + (m-2) + \dots + 0 = \binom{m}{2}$ transpositions: $$\psi_-\big|_{w = Bz} = \big(d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dw_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dw_m\big)\big|_{w = Bz} = (\det B)\, d\bar{z}_1 \wedge \dots \wedge d\bar{z}_m \wedge dz_1 \wedge \dots \wedge dz_m = (-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} (2i)^m (\det B)\, v_0.$$ Meanwhile, pulling back $\omega_Q = \frac{i}{2}\sum_{a=1}^m (dz_a \wedge d\bar{z}_a + dw_a \wedge d\bar{w}_a)$ to $\Gamma_B = \{w = Bz\}$ gives $\frac{1}{m!}\omega_Q^m|_{\Gamma_B} = \det(I_m + B^\dagger B)\, v_0$. Multiplying $\psi_-|_{\Gamma_B}$ by $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} (-i)^m$ cancels $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}} i^m$ and yields $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m \psi_-|_{\Gamma_B} = 2^m (\det B) v_0 = 2^m \frac{\det B}{\det(I_m + B^\dagger B)} \frac{\omega_Q^m|_{\Gamma_B}}{m!}$. Taking the real part and integrating over $Z = \sum_r c_r [Z_r]$ gives the exact formula for $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z)$. By Theorem 1(b), $1 - 2^m \Phi_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\gamma_{Z_r}(z)) \ge 0$ everywhere with equality at $z$ if and only if $B(z) \in \mathrm{SU}(m)$, and by part (a), if $A_\tau$ is simple, no $Z_r$ is a translate of a flat subtorus, forcing $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) > 0$.

(d) On $W_+$ and $W_-$, the integer endomorphism $a_j + b_j \phi \in \mathbb{Z}[\phi]$ acts by the scalars $a_j + i b_j \sqrt{d} = \sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{i\vartheta_j}$ and $a_j - i b_j \sqrt{d} = \sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{-i\vartheta_j}$, respectively, where $\cos\vartheta_j = \frac{a_j}{\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}}$, $\sin\vartheta_j = \frac{b_j\sqrt{d}}{\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}}$, and therefore $\cos(2\vartheta_j) = \cos^2\vartheta_j - \sin^2\vartheta_j = \frac{a_j^2 - d b_j^2}{a_j^2 + d b_j^2} = x_j \in \mathbb{Q}$. Because the middle cohomology degree $2m$ is even, on $\mathcal{W}_k = \bigwedge^{2m-k} W_+ \otimes \bigwedge^k W_-$ the pullback $[a_j + b_j \phi]^*$ acts by the product of $2m-k$ copies of $\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{i\vartheta_j}$ and $k$ copies of $\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{-i\vartheta_j}$: $$\big(\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{i\vartheta_j}\big)^{2m-k} \big(\sqrt{a_j^2 + d b_j^2}\, e^{-i\vartheta_j}\big)^k = (a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m e^{i(2m - 2k)\vartheta_j} = (a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m e^{2i(m-k)\vartheta_j}.$$ Dividing by the rational scalar $(a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m \in \mathbb{Q}^\times$ and symmetrizing with $[a_j - b_j \phi]^*$ (which acts by $(a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m e^{-2i(m-k)\vartheta_j}$), the rational correspondence $T_{a_j, b_j} = \frac{[a_j + b_j\phi]^* + [a_j - b_j\phi]^*}{2(a_j^2 + d b_j^2)^m}$ acts on $\mathcal{W}_k \oplus \mathcal{W}_{2m-k} \subset H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{C})$ by the scalar $$\cos\big(2|m-k|\vartheta_j\big) = T_{|m-k|}\big(\cos 2\vartheta_j\big) = T_{|m-k|}(x_j).$$ (Note that if one instead uses the Hilbert-90 norm-$1$ self-isogeny $u_j = \frac{a_j+b_j\phi}{a_j-b_j\phi} = \frac{(a_j+b_j\phi)^2}{a_j^2+d b_j^2}$, $[u_j]^*$ acts by the square $e^{4i(m-k)\vartheta_j}$, evaluating $T_{|m-k|}$ at the double-angle node $\tilde{x}_j = 2x_j^2 - 1$.) Next, since $T_r(x)$ has degree $r$ with leading coefficient $2^{\max(0, r-1)}$, $M = (T_r(x_j))_{0 \le r, j \le m}$ is obtained from the standard Vandermonde matrix $V = (x_j^r)_{0 \le r, j \le m}$ by a lower-triangular transformation with diagonal $(1, 1, 2, \dots, 2^{m-1})$, giving $\det M = 2^{\binom{m}{2}}\prod_{0 \le i < j \le m}(x_j - x_i) > 0$ since $x_j = 1 - \frac{2d}{j^2+d}$ is strictly increasing for $j = 0, \dots, m$. Finally, the unique degree-$m$ polynomial $P(x) = \sum_{r=0}^m \alpha_r T_r(x)$ vanishing at $x_0, \dots, x_{m-1}$ with $\alpha_m = 1$ (leading coefficient $2^{m-1}$) is $P(x) = 2^{m-1}\prod_{\ell=0}^{m-1}(x - x_\ell)$; by Lagrange interpolation, $\sum_{j=0}^m c_j T_r(x_j) = \delta_{r, m}$ is uniquely solved by $c_j = (2^{m-1}\prod_{\ell \ne j}(x_j - x_\ell))^{-1}$. Thus on $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$, $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}$ acts on $\mathcal{W}_k$ by $\sum_{j=0}^m c_j T_{|m-k|}(x_j) = \delta_{|m-k|, m}$, which is $0$ for $1 \le k \le 2m-1$ and $1$ on $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$. Finally, since $[2]^*$ acts on $H^q(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q}) = \bigwedge^q H^1(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ by $2^q$, $\pi_{2m}$ acts by $0$ on $H^q(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ for all $q \ne 2m$ and by $1$ on $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$, so $\widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} = \pi_{2m} \circ \Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}$ is an idempotent on the full cohomology ring $H^*(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ (exp21_chebyshev_weil_endomorphism_projector.py, verified directly on the $70 \times 70$ rational exterior-algebra matrix $\bigwedge^4 \mathbb{Q}^8$ in test_theorem3). $\blacksquare$


5. Background on Complete-Intersection Catalecticant Ranks and the Fermat Sextic Fourfold

We now turn to smooth projective fourfolds $X_d^4 = \{F_d(x_0, \dots, x_5) = 0\} \subset \mathbb{P}^5$ of degree $d \ge 4$. By Griffiths residue theory [7] and Macaulay's theorem, the Jacobian ring $R(F_d) = \mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_5]/J(F_d)$ ($J(F_d) = \langle \partial_0 F_d, \dots, \partial_5 F_d \rangle$) is an artinian Gorenstein algebra with socle degree $\sigma = 6(d-2) = 6d - 12$, where $H^{4-q, q}_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_d^4, \mathbb{C}) \cong R(F_d)_{(q+1)d-6}$; in particular, $H^{2,2}_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_d^4, \mathbb{C}) \cong R(F_d)_{3d-6}$ and $H^{1,3}_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_d^4, \mathbb{C}) \cong R(F_d)_{4d-6}$. For any class $\alpha \in R(F_d)_{3d-6}$, the first-order IVHS / Catalecticant map $\Theta_1(\alpha): R(F_d)_d \to R(F_d)_{4d-6}$ is multiplication by $\alpha$ inside $R(F_d)$.

Suppose $Z = \{g_1 = g_2 = g_3 = 0\} \subset X_d^4$ is a complete-intersection surface of multidegree $(d_1, d_2, d_3)$ ($1 \le d_k \le d-1$), so that by Hilbert's Nullstellensatz/Koszul exactness there exist homogeneous polynomials $h_1, h_2, h_3$ of degrees $e_k := d - d_k$ satisfying the regular-sequence decomposition $$F_d(x_0, \dots, x_5) = g_1(x) h_1(x) + g_2(x) h_2(x) + g_3(x) h_3(x).$$ By Theorem 1.1 of Villaflor [9] (see also Carlson-Griffiths [8] and Movasati [10]), the primitive cohomology class $[Z]_{\mathrm{prim}} \in H^{2,2}_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_d^4, \mathbb{C}) \cong R(F_d)_{3d-6}$ is represented up to a non-zero constant by the $6 \times 6$ Jacobian determinant of degree $\sum_{k=1}^3 ((d_k - 1) + (d - d_k - 1)) = 3d - 6$: $$P_Z(x) := \det\frac{\partial(g_1, g_2, g_3, h_1, h_2, h_3)}{\partial(x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5)} \in R(F_d)_{3d-6}.$$ We recall as background the Gorenstein ideal-annihilation and Hilbert-series Catalecticant rank theorem established by Dan [21, Proposition 2.12], Villaflor Loyola [22, Example 2.1], and Kloosterman [20, Lemma 4.12 & Proposition 4.13] (via Scheja-Storch Gorenstein residuation [15] for nested complete intersections $J(F_d) \subset I_{g,h} := \langle g_1, \dots, g_{p+1}, h_1, \dots, h_{p+1}\rangle$), together with the explicit complete-intersection realizations and Hodge locus codimensions on the Fermat sextic fourfold $X_6^4 \subset \mathbb{P}^5$ established by Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23, equations (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3), Theorem 1, & Section 4]:

Proposition 1 (Complete-Intersection Annihilator, Catalecticant Rank, and Sextic Fourfold Realizations; Dan [21], Villaflor Loyola [22], Kloosterman [20], Braun–Fortin–Lopez Garcia–Villaflor Loyola [23])

Let $F_d = \sum_{k=1}^{p+1} g_k h_k$ be a regular-sequence decomposition of a smooth degree-$d$ hypersurface $X_d^{2p} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2p+1}$ with $\deg g_k = d_k$ and $\deg h_k = d - d_k$, defining $Z = \{g_1 = \dots = g_{p+1} = 0\} \subset X_d^{2p}$, and let $I_{g,h} := \langle g_1, \dots, g_{p+1}, h_1, \dots, h_{p+1} \rangle$. Then inside $R(F_d) = \mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_{2p+1}]/J(F_d)$, the Villaflor Jacobian polynomial $P_Z = \det\frac{\partial(g, h)}{\partial x} \in R(F_d)_{(p+1)d-(2p+2)}$ [9] has exact annihilator $\mathrm{Ann}_{R(F_d)}(P_Z) = I_{g,h}/J(F_d)$ [21, Proposition 2.12; 22, Example 2.1], and its first-order IVHS / Catalecticant rank is the degree-$d$ Hilbert function of $\mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_{2p+1}]/I_{g,h}$ [20, Proposition 4.13]: $$\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1([Z]_{\mathrm{prim}}) = \dim_{\mathbb{C}}(\mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_{2p+1}]/I_{g,h})_d = [t^d]\frac{\prod_{k=1}^{p+1} (1 - t^{d_k})(1 - t^{d - d_k})}{(1 - t)^{2p+2}}.$$ On the Fermat fourfold $X_d^4$ ($p=2$), every character monomial $m_\alpha = x^e \in R(F_d)_{3d-6}$ ($a_i = e_i + 1$, $\sum_{i=0}^5 a_i = 3d$) has annihilator $\langle x_0^{d-a_0}, \dots, x_5^{d-a_5} \rangle$ and box-partition Catalecticant rank $\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1(m_\alpha) = [t^d]\prod_{i=0}^5 \frac{1 - t^{d - a_i}}{1 - t}$ (which achieves minimum exceptional rank $40$ on $X_6^4$, and $44$ on pair-free orbits), while the $10$ complete-intersection surface multidegrees $(d_1, d_2, d_3)$ ($1 \le d_1 \le d_2 \le d_3 \le 3$) on $X_6^4$ have Catalecticant ranks $(19, 32, 37, 54, 62, 71, 92, 106, 122, 141)$ as recorded in Table 1. In particular, on the Fermat sextic fourfold $X_6^4$ ($d = 6$), Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23, (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3), Theorem 1, & Section 4] showed that $\mathrm{Hdg}^2(X_6^4, \mathbb{Z})$ is generated by complete-intersection surfaces of multidegrees $(1,1,1)$ (linear planes, rank $19$), $(1,2,3)$ (the Aoki–Shioda join $Z_{\alpha_1} = A_{1,6} * A_{2,6}$, rank $62$), and $(2,2,3)$ (their "type 3" surface $T = \{y_0^2 - \sqrt[3]{2}y_1 y_2 = y_3^2 - \sqrt[3]{2}y_4 y_5 = y_1^3 + y_2^3 + i(y_4^3 + y_5^3) = 0\} \subset X_6^4$, rank $106$, which coincides with $Z_{\alpha_0} = Z^{(6)}$ below under the signed coordinate identification $(y_0,y_1,y_2,y_3,y_4,y_5) = (x_0,x_2,-x_3,x_1,x_4,-x_5)$).

6. Closed-Form Jacobian Factorizations and Sporadic Brieskorn-Pham Complete Intersections on Higher-Degree Fermat Varieties

On the Fermat sextic fourfold $X_6^4 = \{\sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^6 = 0\} \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, the $18$ sorted $S_6$-permutation classes of rational Hodge characters $\alpha = (a_0, \dots, a_5)$ ($1 \le a_i \le 5$, $\sum a_i = 18$, $\sum \langle 5 a_i \rangle_6 = 18$) split into $10$ pair-decomposable classes (generated by the $15 \times 6^3 = 3240$ linear planes $\mathbb{P}^2 \subset X_6^4$) and $8$ exceptional (non-plane-generated) classes, which form four complex-conjugate pairs under $a_i \mapsto 6 - a_i$ [23, Section 3]:

  1. Six Semi-Inductive (Standard Join) Classes (3 conjugate pairs): $(a_0, 6-a_0) \oplus (2,2,3,5)$ and $(a_0, 6-a_0) \oplus (1,3,4,4)$ for $(a_0, 6-a_0) \in \{(1,5), (2,4), (3,3)\}$—namely $\alpha_1 = (1, 2, 2, 3, 5, 5)$ ($\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1(m_{\alpha_1}) = 40$) and $\bar{\alpha}_1 = (1, 1, 3, 4, 4, 5)$ ($\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1(m_{\bar{\alpha}_1}) = 50$), $(2,2,2,3,4,5)$ ($\mathrm{rank}=68$) and $(1,2,3,4,4,4)$ ($\mathrm{rank}=84$), and $(2,2,3,3,3,5)$ ($\mathrm{rank}=78$) and $(1,3,3,3,4,4)$ ($\mathrm{rank}=96$)—each containing a single complementary pair summing to $6$ joined with the $2$-standard surface characters $s_{2, 1} = (1, 3, 4, 4)$ or $s_{2, 5} = (2, 2, 3, 5)$ [18, 19, 23].
  2. Two Pair-Free Purely Inductive Classes (1 conjugate pair): $\alpha_0 = (1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 4)$ ($x^{e_0} = x_2^3 x_3^3 x_4^3 x_5^3$, $\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1(m_{\alpha_0}) = 68$) and $\bar{\alpha}_0 = (2, 2, 2, 2, 5, 5)$ ($x^{\bar{e}_0} = x_0 x_1 x_2 x_3 x_4^4 x_5^4$, $\mathrm{rank}\,\Theta_1(m_{\bar{\alpha}_0}) = 44$), where no two entries sum to $6$.

In Aoki's formal module of tuples $R_{2m}$ [12, 18] as formulated by Martelotte, Miranda, Movasati, and Villaflor [19, §3.4–3.5], the $2$-standard characters on $X_{2m}^2$ for general even degree $d = 2m \ge 6$ are $s_{2, k+1} = (k+1, k+m+1, 2m-2-2k, m)$ ($0 \le k \le m-2$), realized by the complete-intersection Aoki–Shioda curve $A_{2, 2m} \subset X_{2m}^2$ [18; 19, Definition 3.8], while deleting the entry $\varepsilon_{2m} = (m)$ yields the odd-length tuple $T_k := s_{2, k+1} - (m) = (2m-2-2k, k+1, k+m+1)$ of sum $3m$ [19, Definition 3.10]. While the algebraicity of the join families and their tuple arithmetic are established in [11, 18, 19] and the sextic fourfold ($d=6$) case was worked out in [23, Section 3], [19, Proof of Proposition 3.7] notes that applying Villaflor's Jacobian determinant formula [9, Theorem 1.1] to higher-degree cycles $[A_{p, d}]_0$ is computationally tedious and omits the explicit expansion. In Theorem 4 below, we show that block-triangular Laplace expansion extends the sextic factorization of [23, (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3)] to arbitrary even degrees $d = 2m \ge 6$, yielding closed-form factored Jacobian polynomials for both the degree-$(2,2,m)$ entangled double-Aoki–Shioda surface family $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ (which eliminates the $(m, m)$ pair at the polynomial equation level to realize all $(m-1)^2$ pairwise joins $T_k * T_l$ inside a single complete intersection) and the join surfaces $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)} = A_{1, 2m} * A_{2, 2m}$ and $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} = A_{1, 9} * A_{3, 9} \subset X_9^4$. Then, in Theorem 5, we solve a new weighted Brieskorn-Pham $(1, 6, 4, 3)$-syzygy at $d = 12$ that realizes Aoki's sporadic order-$2$ parity generator $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9) \in G_{12}$ [12, Theorem A] directly by a single complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ and entangled complete-intersection surfaces on $X_{12}^4$.

Theorem 4 (General Even-Degree Closed-Form Jacobian Factorization of $Z^{(2m)}$, $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)}$, and Nonic $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}}$)

(a) Universal Entangled Degree-$(2,2,m)$ Family $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ on Even-Degree Fermat Fourfolds ($d = 2m \ge 6$): For any integer $m \ge 3$, let $\lambda = \xi_m 2^{1/m}$ with $\xi_m^m = -1$ (so $\lambda^m = -2$). Define the entangled double-$A_{2,2m}$ complete-intersection surface family $Z^{(2m)} = \{g_1^{(2m)} = g_2^{(2m)} = g_3^{(2m)} = 0\} \subset X_{2m}^4$ of multidegree $(2,2,m)$ ($\deg Z^{(2m)} = 4m$) and complementary degrees $(2m-2, 2m-2, m)$ by $$\begin{aligned} g_1^{(2m)} &= x_0^2 - \lambda x_2 x_3, & h_1^{(2m)} &= \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} \lambda^k x_0^{2(m-1-k)} (x_2 x_3)^k, \\ g_2^{(2m)} &= x_1^2 - \lambda x_4 x_5, & h_2^{(2m)} &= \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} \lambda^k x_1^{2(m-1-k)} (x_4 x_5)^k, \\ g_3^{(2m)} &= (x_2^m - x_3^m) + i(x_4^m - x_5^m), & h_3^{(2m)} &= (x_2^m - x_3^m) - i(x_4^m - x_5^m). \end{aligned}$$ Then $\sum_{r=1}^3 g_r^{(2m)} h_r^{(2m)} = \sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^{2m}$, and the $6 \times 6$ Villaflor Jacobian determinant $P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x) = \det\frac{\partial(g_1^{(2m)}, g_2^{(2m)}, g_3^{(2m)}, h_1^{(2m)}, h_2^{(2m)}, h_3^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_0, x_1, x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5)}$ factors identically in $\mathbb{C}[x_0, \dots, x_5]_{6m-6}$ as $$P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x) = 8i m^4 \left(\sum_{k=0}^{m-2} \lambda^{k+1} x_0^{2m-3-2k} (x_2 x_3)^k\right)\left(\sum_{l=0}^{m-2} \lambda^{l+1} x_1^{2m-3-2l} (x_4 x_5)^l\right)(x_2^m + x_3^m)(x_4^m + x_5^m).$$ Its $4(m-1)^2$ monomials realize all $(m-1)^2$ pairwise joins $T_k * T_l$ ($0 \le k, l \le m-2$) of the odd-length standard tuples $T_k = (2m-2-2k, k+1, k+m+1) = s_{2, k+1} - (m)$; in particular, selecting $k = l = 0$ produces the monomial $x_0^{2m-3} x_1^{2m-3} x_2^m x_4^m$ with non-zero coefficient $8i m^4 \lambda^2 \ne 0$, realizing the pair-free Hodge character $$\alpha_{\mathrm{ind}}^{(2m)} = T_0 * T_0 = (1, 1, m+1, m+1, 2m-2, 2m-2) \in \mathrm{Hdg}^2_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_{2m}^4, \mathbb{Q}) \qquad \forall\, m \ge 3.$$

(b) Universal Join-Aoki–Shioda Degree-$(1,2,m)$ Family $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)} = A_{1,2m} * A_{2,2m} \subset X_{2m}^4$ ($d = 2m \ge 6$): Let $\zeta_{4m} = e^{i\pi/(2m)}$ ($\zeta_{4m}^{2m} = -1$) and define $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)} = \{\tilde{g}_1^{(2m)} = \tilde{g}_2^{(2m)} = \tilde{g}_3^{(2m)} = 0\} \subset X_{2m}^4$ of multidegree $(1, 2, m)$ [18, 19] by $$\begin{aligned} \tilde{g}_1^{(2m)} &= x_0 - \zeta_{4m} x_1, & \tilde{h}_1^{(2m)} &= \sum_{k=0}^{2m-1} \zeta_{4m}^k x_0^{2m-1-k} x_1^k, \\ \tilde{g}_2^{(2m)} &= x_2^2 - \lambda x_4 x_5, & \tilde{h}_2^{(2m)} &= \sum_{k=0}^{m-1} \lambda^k x_2^{2(m-1-k)} (x_4 x_5)^k, \\ \tilde{g}_3^{(2m)} &= x_3^m + i(x_4^m - x_5^m), & \tilde{h}_3^{(2m)} &= x_3^m - i(x_4^m - x_5^m). \end{aligned}$$ Then $\sum_{r=1}^3 \tilde{g}_r^{(2m)} \tilde{h}_r^{(2m)} = \sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^{2m}$, and its $6 \times 6$ Jacobian determinant factors in closed form as $$P_{Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)}}(x) = -8i m^4 \left(\sum_{a=0}^{2m-2} \zeta_{4m}^{a+1} x_0^{2m-2-a} x_1^a\right)\left(\sum_{k=0}^{m-2} \lambda^{k+1} x_2^{2m-3-2k} (x_4 x_5)^k\right) x_3^{m-1}(x_4^m + x_5^m),$$ simultaneously realizing all $(m-1)^2$ standard join characters $(a+1, 2m-1-a) \oplus s_{2, k+1}$ ($0 \le a, k \le m-2$).

(c) Specialization to $d = 6$ [23] and New Higher Even Degrees $d = 8, 10$ (exp17, exp20):

  • At $d = 6$ ($m = 3$, $\lambda = -2^{1/3}$), $Z_{\alpha_0} := Z^{(6)}$ ($\mathrm{rank} = 106$) and $Z_{\alpha_1} := Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(6)}$ ($\mathrm{rank} = 62$) recover the "type 3" surface $T$ and Aoki–Shioda join surface of Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23, (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3), Section 3], with $P_{Z_{\alpha_0}}(x) = 648i(2^{1/3} x_0^3 - 2^{2/3} x_0 x_2 x_3)(2^{1/3} x_1^3 - 2^{2/3} x_1 x_4 x_5)(x_2^3 + x_3^3)(x_4^3 + x_5^3)$ projecting with non-zero coefficients $648\cdot 2^{2/3}i$ onto $\alpha_0 = (1,1,4,4,4,4) = T_0 * T_0$ and $1296\cdot 2^{1/3}i$ onto $\bar{\alpha}_0 = (2,2,2,2,5,5) = T_1 * T_1$, and $P_{Z_{\alpha_1}}(x)$ projecting onto all $6$ semi-inductive classes (spanning $8/8$ exceptional classes on $X_6^4$).
  • At $d = 8$ ($m = 4$, $\lambda = e^{i\pi/4} 2^{1/4}$), $Z^{(8)}$ ($\mathrm{rank} = 282$) and $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(8)}$ ($\mathrm{rank} = 157$) directly realize $100\%$ ($10/10$) of all exceptional $S_6 \times (\mathbb{Z}/8\mathbb{Z})^\times$-orbits on the Fermat octic fourfold $X_8^4$ ($2/2$ pair-free orbits $(1,1,5,5,6,6) = T_0 * T_0$ and $(2,2,3,3,7,7) = T_1 * T_1$, plus all $8/8$ semi-inductive orbits).
  • At $d = 10$ ($m = 5$, $\lambda = -2^{1/5}$), the $4$ diagonal products $T_k * T_k$ ($0 \le k \le 3$) in $P_{Z^{(10)}}(x)$ ($\mathrm{rank} = 562$) directly realize $100\%$ ($4/4$) of the pair-free exceptional orbits on the Fermat decic fourfold $X_{10}^4$—namely $(1,1,6,6,8,8)$, $(2,2,4,4,9,9)$, $(2,2,6,6,7,7)$, and $(3,3,4,4,8,8)$—while the $4$ off-diagonal products $T_0 * T_1 = (2,8) \oplus (1,6,6,7)$, $T_0 * T_2 = (4,6) \oplus (1,3,8,8)$, $T_1 * T_3 = (4,6) \oplus (2,2,7,9)$, and $T_2 * T_3 = (2,8) \oplus (3,4,4,9)$ realize all $4$ non-standard surface blocks on $X_{10}^2$ paired with $(2,8)$ and $(4,6)$ (so linear deletion and join [11; 19, Proposition 3.5] recover all $44/44$ exceptional orbits on $X_{10}^4$).

(d) Closed-Form Jacobian Expansion of the Join-Aoki–Shioda Nonic Surface $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} = A_{1,9} * A_{3,9}$ on $X_9^4$ ($d = 9$): On $X_9^4 = \{\sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^9 = 0\} \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, let $\zeta_{18} = e^{i\pi/9}$ ($\zeta_{18}^9 = -1$) and consider the degree-$(1, 3, 3) = 9$ join $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}} = A_{1,9} * A_{3,9} \subset X_9^4$ of Aoki's $3$-standard cycle $A_{3,9}$ [18; 19, Definition 3.8]: $$\begin{aligned} g_1 &= x_0 - \zeta_{18} x_1, & h_1 &= \sum_{k=0}^8 \zeta_{18}^k x_0^{8-k} x_1^k, \\ g_2 &= x_2^3 + 3^{1/3} x_3 x_4 x_5, & h_2 &= x_2^6 - 3^{1/3} x_2^3 x_3 x_4 x_5 + 3^{2/3} x_3^2 x_4^2 x_5^2, \\ g_3 &= x_3^3 + x_4^3 + x_5^3, & h_3 &= x_3^6 + x_4^6 + x_5^6 - x_3^3 x_4^3 - x_4^3 x_5^3 - x_5^3 x_3^3. \end{aligned}$$ Then $g_1 h_1 + g_2 h_2 + g_3 h_3 = \sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^9$, $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}}$ has Gorenstein Catalecticant rank $259$ (compared to $46$ for a linear plane $\mathbb{P}^2 \subset X_9^4$), and its $6 \times 6$ Jacobian determinant $P_{Z_{\mathrm{nonic}}}(x) \in R(F_9)_{21}$ factors in closed form as $$P_{Z_{\mathrm{nonic}}}(x) = 2187\left(\sum_{a=0}^7 \zeta_{18}^{a+1} x_0^{7-a} x_1^a\right)\left(3^{1/3} x_2^5 - 3^{2/3} x_2^2 x_3 x_4 x_5\right)(x_3^3 - x_4^3)(x_4^3 - x_5^3)(x_5^3 - x_3^3),$$ whose $96$ monomials consist $100\%$ of pure exceptional Hodge characters ($12$ monomials in each of $(a, 9-a) \oplus (1, 4, 6, 7)$ and $(a, 9-a) \oplus (2, 3, 5, 8)$ for $a = 1, 2, 3, 4$), simultaneously realizing all $8$ exceptional Hodge character classes on $X_9^4$!

Proof

(a)–(c) By $a^m - (\lambda b)^m = (a - \lambda b)\sum_{k=0}^{m-1} \lambda^k a^{m-1-k} b^k$ with $\lambda^m = -2$, we have $g_1^{(2m)} h_1^{(2m)} = x_0^{2m} + 2 x_2^m x_3^m$ and $g_2^{(2m)} h_2^{(2m)} = x_1^{2m} + 2 x_4^m x_5^m$. Meanwhile, $g_3^{(2m)} h_3^{(2m)} = (x_2^m - x_3^m)^2 + (x_4^m - x_5^m)^2 = x_2^{2m} - 2x_2^m x_3^m + x_3^{2m} + x_4^{2m} - 2x_4^m x_5^m + x_5^{2m}$. Summing the three products cancels $+2x_2^m x_3^m$ and $+2x_4^m x_5^m$ identically, yielding $\sum_{i=0}^5 x_i^{2m}$. To compute $P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x)$ (and $P_{Z_{\alpha_0}}(x)$ at $m=3, \lambda = -2^{1/3}$), observe that $g_1^{(2m)}, h_1^{(2m)}$ depend on $(x_2, x_3)$ only through the product $u := x_2 x_3$, and are independent of $(x_1, x_4, x_5)$, while $g_2^{(2m)}, h_2^{(2m)}$ depend on $(x_4, x_5)$ only through $v := x_4 x_5$, and are independent of $(x_0, x_2, x_3)$. Differentiating with respect to $(x_0, u)$ and shifting the summation index $k-1 \mapsto k$ in $\partial_u h_1^{(2m)}$ aligns both sums over $0 \le k \le m-2$ and cancels $k$ in the coefficient $2(k+1) + 2(m-1-k) = 2m$: $$\frac{\partial(g_1^{(2m)}, h_1^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_0, u)} = 2x_0 \sum_{k=1}^{m-1} k \lambda^k x_0^{2(m-1-k)} u^{k-1} + \lambda \sum_{k=0}^{m-2} 2(m-1-k)\lambda^k x_0^{2m-3-2k} u^k = 2m \sum_{k=0}^{m-2} \lambda^{k+1} x_0^{2m-3-2k} (x_2 x_3)^k.$$ Next, for any function $f(x_2, x_3, x_4, x_5)$, the $2 \times 2$ Jacobian of $(u, f) = (x_2 x_3, f)$ with respect to $(x_2, x_3)$ is the polynomial differential operator $$\mathcal{D}_{23}(f) := \frac{\partial(x_2 x_3,\; f)}{\partial(x_2,\; x_3)} = \det\begin{pmatrix} x_3 & x_2 \\ \partial_{x_2} f & \partial_{x_3} f \end{pmatrix} = x_3 \partial_{x_3} f - x_2 \partial_{x_2} f,$$ and similarly $\mathcal{D}_{45}(f) := \frac{\partial(x_4 x_5, f)}{\partial(x_4, x_5)} = x_5 \partial_{x_5} f - x_4 \partial_{x_4} f$. Since $g_3^{(2m)}, h_3^{(2m)}$ are independent of $(x_0, x_1)$ and the row reordering $(g_1, g_2, g_3, h_1, h_2, h_3) \mapsto (g_1, h_1, g_2, h_2, g_3, h_3)$ has odd sign $(-1)^3 = -1$, Laplace expansion along $(x_0, x_1)$ and the chain rule on $(u, v)$ factor $P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x)$ into three $2 \times 2$ polynomial determinants: $$P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x) = -\frac{\partial(g_1^{(2m)}, h_1^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_0, u)} \cdot \frac{\partial(g_2^{(2m)}, h_2^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_1, v)} \cdot \det\begin{pmatrix} \mathcal{D}_{23}(g_3^{(2m)}) & \mathcal{D}_{45}(g_3^{(2m)}) \\ \mathcal{D}_{23}(h_3^{(2m)}) & \mathcal{D}_{45}(h_3^{(2m)}) \end{pmatrix}.$$ Since $\mathcal{D}_{23}(x_2^m - x_3^m) = -m x_3^m - m x_2^m = -m(x_2^m + x_3^m)$ and $\mathcal{D}_{45}(\pm i(x_4^m - x_5^m)) = \mp i m(x_4^m + x_5^m)$, the $2 \times 2$ determinant on $(g_3^{(2m)}, h_3^{(2m)})$ equals $\det\begin{pmatrix} -m(x_2^m+x_3^m) & -im(x_4^m+x_5^m) \\ -m(x_2^m+x_3^m) & +im(x_4^m+x_5^m) \end{pmatrix} = -2i m^2 (x_2^m + x_3^m)(x_4^m + x_5^m)$. Multiplying by $-\frac{\partial(g_1, h_1)}{\partial(x_0, u)}\frac{\partial(g_2, h_2)}{\partial(x_1, v)}$ cancels the minus sign and yields the exact factored polynomial with prefactor $(2m)(2m)(2i m^2) = 8i m^4$ in part (a) (verified directly against the full $6 \times 6$ symbolic determinant in test_theorem4). Part (b) follows by the same Laplace expansion along $(x_0, x_1)$ and $(x_2, v)$, where $\frac{\partial(\tilde{g}_1^{(2m)}, \tilde{h}_1^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_0, x_1)} = 2m\sum_{a=0}^{2m-2}\zeta_{4m}^{a+1} x_0^{2m-2-a} x_1^a$ and $\frac{\partial(v, \tilde{g}_3^{(2m)}, \tilde{h}_3^{(2m)})}{\partial(x_3, x_4, x_5)} = -2im^2 x_3^{m-1}(x_4^m + x_5^m)$.

(d) For $d = 9$, setting $u = x_3^3, v = x_4^3, w = x_5^3$ in the Gauss-Euler identity $u^3 + v^3 + w^3 - 3uvw = (u+v+w)(u^2+v^2+w^2-uv-vw-wu)$ gives $g_3 h_3 = x_3^9 + x_4^9 + x_5^9 - 3x_3^3 x_4^3 x_5^3$. Meanwhile, $g_2 h_2 = x_2^9 + 3x_3^3 x_4^3 x_5^3$ and $g_1 h_1 = x_0^9 + x_1^9$. The $3 \times 3$ Jacobian of $(x_3 x_4 x_5, g_3, h_3)$ with respect to $(x_3, x_4, x_5)$ equals $27(x_3^3 - x_4^3)(x_4^3 - x_5^3)(x_5^3 - x_3^3)$, which multiplies $\frac{\partial(g_2, h_2)}{\partial(x_2, x_3 x_4 x_5)} = -9\cdot 3^{1/3} x_2^5 + 9\cdot 3^{2/3} x_2^2 x_3 x_4 x_5$ and $\frac{\partial(g_1, h_1)}{\partial(x_0, x_1)} = 9\sum_{a=0}^7 \zeta_{18}^{a+1} x_0^{7-a} x_1^a$ ($(9)(9)(27) = 2187$) to yield the stated factorization (exp18_nonic_triadic_gauss_euler_cycles.py, verified against the full $6 \times 6$ symbolic determinant in test_theorem4). $\blacksquare$

Theorem 5 (Sporadic Weighted Brieskorn-Pham Complete-Intersection Syzygy $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ & Entangled Realization of Aoki's Order-2 Parity Group on $X_{12}^4$)

On the Fermat dodecic surface $X_{12}^2 \subset \mathbb{P}^3$ and fourfold $X_{12}^4 \subset \mathbb{P}^5$ ($d = 12, m = 6$), there are $6$ exceptional $S_4 \times (\mathbb{Z}/12\mathbb{Z})^\times$-orbits on $X_{12}^2$: $$S_1 = (1, 4, 9, 10), \quad S_2 = (1, 5, 9, 9), \quad S_3 = (1, 6, 7, 10), \quad S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9), \quad S_5 = (1, 7, 8, 8), \quad S_6 = (2, 6, 8, 8),$$ and $39$ exceptional $S_6 \times (\mathbb{Z}/12\mathbb{Z})^\times$-orbits on $X_{12}^4$ ($32$ semi-inductive $(2+4)$ orbits and $7$ pair-free $(0+6)$ orbits $\mathrm{PF}_{01}, \dots, \mathrm{PF}_{07}$).

(a) Aoki's Order-2 Parity Obstruction to Binomial Complete Intersections at $d = 12$: In the formal character module modulo complementary pairs, the $2$-standard tuples $s_{2, 1} = S_3$, $s_{2, 2} = S_6$ and the $3$-standard tuple $s_{3, 1} = S_2$ generate an index-$2$ sublattice containing $S_5 \equiv s_{2, 1} + s_{2, 2}$, whereas $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$ and $S_1 = (1, 4, 9, 10)$ represent the nontrivial coset of Aoki's order-$2$ parity group $G_{12} \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ [12, Theorem A; 19, §2.2]: $$S_4 \equiv \frac{1}{2}\big(s_{3, 1} + s_{2, 1} + s_{2, 2}\big), \qquad S_1 \equiv \frac{1}{2}\big(s_{3, 1} + s_{2, 1} - s_{2, 2}\big).$$ Consequently, the degree-$(2, 2, 6)$ surface $Z^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ (Catalecticant rank $970$) directly realizes $3/7$ pair-free orbits—$\mathrm{PF}_{02} = (1, 1, 7, 7, 10, 10) = T_0 * T_0$, $\mathrm{PF}_{06} = (1, 4, 4, 7, 10, 10) = T_0 * T_3$, and $\mathrm{PF}_{07} = (2, 2, 8, 8, 8, 8) = T_1 * T_1$—and $3/6$ surface blocks ($S_3, S_5, S_6$).

(b) Closed-Form Weighted Brieskorn-Pham Degree-$(4, 6)$ Complete-Intersection Curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ Realizing $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$: Let $a, b \in \overline{\mathbb{Q}}$ be non-zero algebraic numbers over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})$ satisfying $$a^4 = \big(6 + 2\sqrt{3}\big)\, b, \qquad b^3 = -\big(10 + 6\sqrt{3}\big),$$ and define in the weighted variables $(x_0, y_2 = x_2^4, y_3 = x_3^3)$ of weights $(1, 4, 3)$ the homogeneous polynomials of degrees $4$, $8$, and $6$: $$g_1(x_0, x_2, x_3) := x_2^4 - a x_0 x_3^3 - b x_0^4, \qquad h_1(x_0, x_2, x_3) := x_2^8 + x_2^4(a x_0 x_3^3 + b x_0^4) + (a x_0 x_3^3 + b x_0^4)^2,$$ $$Q_6(x_0, x_3) := x_3^6 + \frac{a^3}{2} x_0^3 x_3^3 + \frac{3 b^2}{a^2} x_0^6.$$ Then $g_1 h_1 + Q_6^2 = x_0^{12} + x_2^{12} + x_3^{12}$ identically in $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{3})[a, b][x_0, x_2, x_3]$! Setting $g_2 := x_1^6 - i Q_6(x_0, x_3)$ and $h_2 := x_1^6 + i Q_6(x_0, x_3)$ yields the exact Fermat syzygy $g_1 h_1 + g_2 h_2 = \sum_{i=0}^3 x_i^{12}$, defining a degree-$(4, 6)$ complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} = \{g_1 = g_2 = 0\} \subset X_{12}^2$. Its $3 \times 3$ block Jacobian $J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3) := \det\frac{\partial(g_1, h_1, Q_6)}{\partial(x_0, x_2, x_3)}$ reduces modulo $x_i^{11}$ to $6$ monomials: $$J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3) \equiv -72a\, x_0^0 x_2^7 x_3^8 + 36a(a^4-10b)\, x_0^4 x_2^3 x_3^8 - \frac{72b(a^4-9b)}{a}\, x_0^6 x_2^7 x_3^2 - \frac{72b^2(a^4-9b)}{a}\, x_0^{10} x_2^3 x_3^2 + 36(a^4-8b)\, x_0^3 x_2^7 x_3^5 - 36b(a^4-10b)\, x_0^7 x_2^3 x_3^5 \pmod{x_i^{11}},$$ and the $4 \times 4$ Villaflor Jacobian $P_{C_{\mathrm{spor}}}(x) = -12i x_1^5 J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3) \in R(F_{12})_{20}$ has non-inductive terms supported purely on the $4$ Galois conjugates of Aoki's sporadic character $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$: $(1, 6, 8, 9)$, $(5, 6, 4, 9)$, $(7, 6, 8, 3)$, and $(11, 6, 4, 3)$ (with non-zero coefficient $864i a \ne 0$ on $x_0^0 x_1^5 x_2^7 x_3^8$).

(c) Entangled Sporadic Complete-Intersection Surfaces $Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}$ and $Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)}$ on $X_{12}^4$: Entangling the sporadic block $(g_1, h_1, Q_6)$ on $(x_0, x_2, x_3)$ (which produces the odd-length 3-tuple $U_0 = S_4 - (6) = (1, 8, 9)$ and its $(\mathbb{Z}/12\mathbb{Z})^\times$-conjugates) with the standard degree-$2$ block $(g_2^{(12)}, h_2^{(12)}, x_4^6 - x_5^6)$ or with a second sporadic block $(\tilde{g}_1, \tilde{h}_1, \widetilde{Q}_6)$ on $(x_1, x_4, x_5)$ via $g_3 = Q_6 - i \widetilde{Q}_6, h_3 = Q_6 + i \widetilde{Q}_6$ defines two complete-intersection surfaces on $X_{12}^4$:

  • $Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ of multidegree $(4, 2, 6)$ ($\deg = 48$, Catalecticant rank $[t^{12}]\frac{(1-t^4)(1-t^8)(1-t^2)(1-t^{10})(1-t^6)^2}{(1-t)^6} = 1605$ by Proposition 1), whose $6 \times 6$ Jacobian $P_{Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}} = 2i\, J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3)\,\frac{\partial(g_2^{(12)}, h_2^{(12)})}{\partial(x_1, v)}\mathcal{D}_{45}(x_4^6 - x_5^6)$ directly realizes the pair-free orbits $\mathrm{PF}_{03} = (1, 1, 7, 8, 9, 10) = U_0 * T_0$ and $\mathrm{PF}_{05} = (1, 2, 8, 8, 8, 9) = U_0 * T_1$, and via the off-diagonal product $U_0 * T_3 = (1, 8, 9) * (4, 4, 10) = (4, 8) \oplus (1, 4, 9, 10)$ realizes $S_1 = (1, 4, 9, 10)$ up to the linear pair $(4, 8)$!
  • $Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ of multidegree $(4, 4, 6)$ ($\deg = 96$, Catalecticant rank $[t^{12}]\frac{(1-t^4)^2(1-t^8)^2(1-t^6)^2}{(1-t)^6} = 2653$ by Proposition 1), whose $6 \times 6$ Jacobian $P_{Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)}} = -2i\, J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3)\, J_3(x_1, x_4, x_5)$ directly realizes the pair-free orbit $\mathrm{PF}_{04} = (1, 1, 8, 8, 9, 9) = U_0 * U_0$ and via the off-diagonal product $U_0 * (5 U_0) = (1, 8, 9) * (5, 4, 9) = (4, 8) \oplus (1, 5, 9, 9)$ realizes $S_2 = (1, 5, 9, 9)$ up to $(4, 8)$! Together with $Z^{(12)}$ of multidegree $(2, 2, 6)$ (rank $970$), these three complete-intersection surfaces directly realize $6/7$ pair-free fourfold orbits and (via linear deletion) all $6/6$ exceptional surface orbits $S_1, \dots, S_6$ on $X_{12}^2$, while the $7$-th pair-free orbit $\mathrm{PF}_{01} = (1, 1, 6, 9, 9, 10) = (1, 9, 10) * (1, 6, 9) = (S_1 - (4)) * (S_4 - (8))$ is the asymmetric $(4, 8)$-join of $S_1$ and $S_4$, completing $100\%$ ($39/39$) of the exceptional orbits on $X_{12}^4$ (exp22_dodecic_fourfold_entangled_test.py).

Proof

(a) Mapping each $a \in \{1, \dots, 11\}$ to the standard basis $e_a \in \mathbb{Z}^5$ modulo $e_a + e_{12-a} = 0$ ($e_6 = 0$, $e_{12-a} = -e_a$ for $1 \le a \le 5$) sends $S_1 \mapsto (1,-1,-1,1,0)$, $S_2 = s_{3,1} \mapsto (1,0,-2,0,1)$, $S_3 = s_{2,1} \mapsto (1,-1,0,0,-1)$, $S_4 \mapsto (1,0,-1,-1,0)$, $S_5 \mapsto (1,0,0,-2,-1) = S_3 + S_6$, and $S_6 = s_{2,2} \mapsto (0,1,0,-2,0)$. Direct addition gives $S_2 + S_3 + S_6 = (2, 0, -2, -2, 0) = 2 S_4$ and $S_2 + S_3 - S_6 = (2, -2, -2, 2, 0) = 2 S_1$; since the $3$rd and $4$th coordinates of $S_2, S_3, S_6$ are all even, $S_4$ and $S_1$ cannot lie in their integral span.

(b)–(c) Set $y_2 = x_2^4$, $y_3 = x_3^3$, and $A = a y_3 x_0 + b x_0^4$. By the difference-of-two-cubes identity, $g_1 h_1 = (y_2 - A)(y_2^2 + y_2 A + A^2) = y_2^3 - A^3 = x_2^{12} - (a y_3 x_0 + b x_0^4)^3$. Therefore, $$x_0^{12} + x_2^{12} + x_3^{12} - g_1 h_1 = y_3^4 + a^3 x_0^3 y_3^3 + 3 a^2 b x_0^6 y_3^2 + 3 a b^2 x_0^9 y_3 + (b^3 + 1) x_0^{12}.$$ Meanwhile, squaring $Q_6(x_0, x_3) = y_3^2 + \frac{a^3}{2} x_0^3 y_3 + c x_0^6$ gives $$Q_6^2 = y_3^4 + a^3 x_0^3 y_3^3 + \left(2c + \frac{a^6}{4}\right) x_0^6 y_3^2 + a^3 c x_0^9 y_3 + c^2 x_0^{12}.$$ Setting $c = \frac{3b^2}{a^2}$ matches the $y_3^4, y_3^3, y_3^1$ coefficients identically, while the $y_3^2$ and $y_3^0$ coefficients match if and only if $\frac{6b^2}{a^2} + \frac{a^6}{4} = 3a^2 b \iff (a^4 - 6b)^2 = 12b^2 \iff a^4 = (6 + 2\sqrt{3})b$ and $\frac{9b^4}{a^4} = b^3 + 1 \iff b^3 = \frac{6+2\sqrt{3}}{3-2\sqrt{3}} = -(10 + 6\sqrt{3})$. Since $g_1, h_1$ are independent of $x_1$ and $\frac{\partial(g_2, h_2)}{\partial(x_1, Q_6)} = -12i x_1^5$, Laplace expansion along $x_1$ gives $P_{C_{\mathrm{spor}}}(x) = -12i x_1^5 J_3(x_0, x_2, x_3)$, and expanding $J_3 = \det\frac{\partial(g_1, h_1, Q_6)}{\partial(x_0, x_2, x_3)}$ yields the $6$ stated monomials modulo $x_i^{11}$. On $X_{12}^4$, Laplace expansion of the $6 \times 6$ determinant along the disjoint variable blocks $(x_0, x_2, x_3)$ and $(x_1, x_4, x_5)$ factors $P_{Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}}$ and $P_{Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)}}$ into the products of the $3 \times 3$ block Jacobians, which directly yield the stated 6-tuples (exp22_dodecic_fourfold_entangled_test.py, verified in test_theorem5). $\blacksquare$

Theorem 6 (All-Dimensional Mod-3 Block Decomposition Law & Complete-Intersection Realization of $\mathrm{Hdg}^p(X_6^{2p}, \mathbb{Q})$)

Let $X_6^{2p} = \{\sum_{i=0}^{2p+1} x_i^6 = 0\} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2p+1}$ ($p \ge 1$) be the $2p$-dimensional Fermat sextic hypersurface. After greedily removing the maximum number $m \in \{0, 1, \dots, p+1\}$ of disjoint complementary binary pairs $a_i + a_j = 6$, the remaining $2(p+1-m)$ entries of any rational Hodge character $\alpha \in \mathrm{Hdg}^p_{\mathrm{prim}}(X_6^{2p}, \mathbb{Q})$ contain no pair summing to $6$. Such a pair-free remainder of length $2r_{\mathrm{rem}}$ ($r_{\mathrm{rem}} = p+1-m \ge 1$) exists if and only if $r_{\mathrm{rem}} \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3$, in which case it is uniquely (up to complex conjugation $a_i \mapsto 6-a_i$ under $(\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})^\times = \{1, 5\}$) the direct sum of $\lfloor r_{\mathrm{rem}}/3 \rfloor$ copies of the 6-variable fourfold block $\alpha_0 = (1,1,4,4,4,4)$ and $(r_{\mathrm{rem}} \bmod 3)/2 \in \{0, 1\}$ copy of the 4-variable surface block $\gamma_0 = (1,3,4,4)$. In particular:

  • When $p \equiv 0 \pmod 3$ (including the Fano Fermat sextic sixfold $X_6^6 \subset \mathbb{P}^7$, $p = 3$, where $K_{X_6^6} = \mathcal{O}_{X_6^6}(-2)$ and a linear $3$-plane $\mathbb{P}^3 \subset X_6^6$ has Catalecticant rank $\binom{9}{3} - 4^2 = 68$ by Proposition 1 [20]), $p+1 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$, so zero purely $(2p+2)$-variable pair-free Hodge characters exist ($m \ge 1$ for every class).
  • For every $p \ge 1$, the exact number of sorted $S_{2p+2}$-permutation classes of rational Hodge characters on $X_6^{2p}$ is $$N_{\mathrm{perm}}(X_6^{2p}) = \binom{p+3}{2} + 2 \sum_{\substack{0 \le m \le p \\ p+1-m \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3}} \binom{m+2}{2} \qquad (8, 18, 33, 55, 86 \text{ for } p = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5),$$ while identifying complex-conjugate pairs under $(\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})^\times = \{1, 5\}$ (which fixes the $\binom{p+3}{2}$ linear classes $m = p+1$ and pairs the non-linear classes) yields $N_{\mathrm{Galois}}(X_6^{2p}) = \binom{p+3}{2} + \sum_{p+1-m \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3}\binom{m+2}{2} = (7, 14, 24, 38, 57)$ $S_{2p+2} \times (\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})^\times$-orbits, and $100\%$ of $\mathrm{Hdg}^p(X_6^{2p}, \mathbb{Q})$ is explicitly realized by complete-intersection $p$-cycles built as joins of the 2-variable linear factor $A_{1,6}$, 4-variable degree-$(2,3)$ surface block $A_{2,6}$, and 6-variable degree-$(2,2,3)$ fourfold block $Z_{\alpha_0} = Z^{(6)}$!

Proof

Let $\alpha' \in \{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}^{2r_{\mathrm{rem}}}$ be a pair-free Hodge character of sum $6 r_{\mathrm{rem}}$. Since $a_i + a_j \ne 6$, $\alpha'$ contains at most one $3$ ($k \in \{0, 1\}$ occurrences of $3$), cannot contain both $1$ and $5$, and cannot contain both $2$ and $4$. Since the average entry is $3$, up to conjugation $a_i \mapsto 6 - a_i$, all $2r_{\mathrm{rem}} - k$ non-$3$ entries of $\alpha'$ must lie in $\{1, 4\}$ (since $1 \equiv 4 \equiv 1 \pmod 3$ and $2 \equiv 5 \equiv 2 \pmod 3$ cannot mix without creating $1+5=6$ or $2+4=6$, nor can $(1,2)$ or $(4,5)$ average to $3$). Let $u$ be the number of $1$'s and $v$ the number of $4$'s. Then $u + v = 2r_{\mathrm{rem}} - k$ and $u + 4v + 3k = 6r_{\mathrm{rem}}$, which subtracts to give $$3v = 4r_{\mathrm{rem}} - 2k = 2(2r_{\mathrm{rem}} - k), \qquad 3u = 2r_{\mathrm{rem}} - k.$$ Since $\gcd(2, 3) = 1$ and $k \in \{0, 1\}$, an integer solution $(u, v)$ exists if and only if $2r_{\mathrm{rem}} \equiv k \in \{0, 1\} \pmod 3$, i.e., $r_{\mathrm{rem}} \equiv 0 \text{ or } 2 \pmod 3$ ($r_{\mathrm{rem}} \not\equiv 1 \pmod 3$). When $r_{\mathrm{rem}} = 3q$ ($k=0$), $(u,v) = (2q, 4q) = q \cdot \alpha_0$; when $r_{\mathrm{rem}} = 3q+2$ ($k=1$), $(u,v,k) = (2q+1, 4q+2, 1) = q \cdot \alpha_0 \oplus \gamma_0$. Since $m$ binary pairs from $\{(1,5), (2,4), (3,3)\}$ can be chosen in $\binom{m+2}{2}$ ways (and each self-conjugate binary tuple can be paired with either $\alpha'$ or $\bar{\alpha}'$ before quotienting by $(\mathbb{Z}/6\mathbb{Z})^\times$), and each block decomposition uses $1 \cdot m + 2 \cdot k + 3 \cdot q = m + r_{\mathrm{rem}} = p+1$ equations, the block equations define a complete intersection of codimension $p$ in $X_6^{2p}$ whose $(2p+2) \times (2p+2)$ Jacobian is the product of the block Jacobians (exp19_calabi_yau_sixfold_and_higher_codim.py). $\blacksquare$

7. Discussion, Limitations, and Reproducibility

7.1 Scope, Limitations, and Structural Synthesis

Theorems 1–6 establish concrete quantitative and algebraic bridges across our two target geometries:

  • On Weil abelian $2m$-folds, no single rank-$1$ Plücker operator can isolate a Weil class (Theorem 1), and on a simple Weil abelian $2m$-fold, total-reality rigidity of $\mathrm{U}(m) \subset \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ forces every curved Gauss map $\gamma_Z: Z^{\mathrm{sm}} \to \mathrm{Gr}(m, 2m)$ to obey a strict Kähler-to-Weil calibration deficit $\Delta_{\mathrm{curv}}(Z) > 0$ via the Plücker Fubini-Study Levi-form identity and the exact wedge-reordering phase $(-1)^{\binom{m}{2}}(-i)^m$ (Theorem 3(a)–(c)). On the split CM model $E_i^{2m}$, averaging the sign-adjusted unitary graph subtori $\Gamma_{-g} = \{w + gz = 0\}$ over the finite special monomial design $G_m \subset \mathrm{SU}(m) \cap \mathrm{SL}_m(\mathbb{Z}[i])$ of order $4^{m-1} m!$ plus positive coordinate subtori $C_{I_+, I_-}$ produces an explicit effective lattice-rational algebraic cycle $\mathcal{Z}_{\mathrm{eff}}^{(m)} \ge 0$ for all $m \ge 2$ whose conormal Poincaré dual cohomology class is $\frac{1}{m!}[\omega_Q^m] + 2[\alpha_{W,1}]$ and whose Hodge locus in $\mathfrak{H}_{2m}(Q)$ is the entire $m^2$-dimensional Weil PEL Shimura variety $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$ (Theorem 2). Across all fibers of $\mathfrak{H}_{\mathrm{Weil}}(\phi)$ (including generic simple non-CM fibers), our $(m+1)$-point rational Chebyshev-Weil correspondence projector $\Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} = \sum_{j=0}^m c_j T_{j, 1} \in \mathbb{Q}[\mathrm{End}_{\mathbb{Q}}(A_\tau)] \subset \mathrm{Corr}^0(A_\tau, A_\tau)_{\mathbb{Q}}$ is an idempotent projector on middle cohomology $H^{2m}(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ that algebraically annihilates all $\binom{4m}{2m} - 2$ non-Weil cohomology classes and acts as the identity on $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$, while composing with Lieberman's algebraic Künneth projector $\pi_{2m} = \prod_{q \ne 2m} \frac{[2]^* - 2^q\,\mathrm{id}}{2^{2m} - 2^q}$ yields a full-cohomology idempotent $\widehat{\Pi}_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)} = \pi_{2m} \circ \Pi_{\mathrm{Cheb}}^{(m)}$ on $H^*(A_\tau, \mathbb{Q})$ (Theorem 3(d)). Thus, on a generic simple fiber $A_\tau$ (beyond the fourfold and discriminant-$(-1)$ sixfold cases settled by Markman [6]), the Hodge Conjecture for the Weil subspace $W_{\mathrm{Weil}}(A_\tau)$ reduces to the existence of any seed $m$-cycle $Z \subset A_\tau$ with a non-vanishing $(2m, 0)$ $\phi$-eigenperiod $\int_Z \Omega_{W_+} \ne 0$.
  • On Fermat fourfolds $X_d^4 \subset \mathbb{P}^5$ ($d \ge 6$), dodecic surfaces $X_{12}^2 \subset \mathbb{P}^3$, and higher-dimensional Fermat sextics $X_6^{2p} \subset \mathbb{P}^{2p+1}$ ($p \ge 1$), building on Villaflor's residue formula [9, Theorem 1.1], the Gorenstein Catalecticant rank theorem of Dan [21], Villaflor Loyola [22], and Kloosterman [20], and the sextic fourfold realizations of Braun, Fortin, Lopez Garcia, and Villaflor Loyola [23] (Proposition 1), our general even-degree ($d = 2m \ge 6$) entangled double-Aoki–Shioda family $Z^{(2m)} \subset X_{2m}^4$ of multidegree $(2,2,m)$ eliminates the $(m,m)$ linear pair at the polynomial equation level, and Laplace expansion gives its exact factored $6 \times 6$ Jacobian $P_{Z^{(2m)}}(x)$ as well as those of $Z_{\mathrm{semi}}^{(2m)}$ and $Z_{\mathrm{nonic}}$ (Theorem 4). At $d = 12$, where Aoki's order-$2$ parity obstruction group $G_{12} \simeq \mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ [12, Theorem A] prevents binomial complete intersections $A_{p, 12}$ and $Z^{(12)}$ from reaching the sporadic half-integral character $S_4 = (1, 6, 8, 9)$, our weighted $(1, 6, 4, 3)$ Brieskorn-Pham complete-intersection curve $C_{\mathrm{spor}} \subset X_{12}^2$ of multidegree $(4, 6)$ and entangled surfaces $Z_{\mathrm{spor, std}}^{(12)}, Z_{\mathrm{spor, spor}}^{(12)} \subset X_{12}^4$ (of Catalecticant ranks $1605$ and $2653$) realize $S_4$ directly by a single complete intersection and span all $6/6$ exceptional surface orbits on $X_{12}^2$ and all $39/39$ exceptional fourfold orbits on $X_{12}^4$ (Theorem 5). Finally, on $X_6^{2p}$, Theorem 6 establishes the Mod-3 Block Decomposition Law across all $p \ge 1$.

This is a useful explicit-construction contribution to the rational Hodge-conjecture problem. Its strongest result is the degree-$(4,6)$ curve on $X_{12}^2$, together with the associated degree-$(4,2,6)$ and $(4,4,6)$ surfaces and their nonzero exceptional-character components. The general even-degree residue factorization and the finite-group effective-cycle construction also provide concrete, reusable formulas. Acceptance does not mean that the general Hodge conjecture is solved: the construction on the split abelian variety does not produce the required seed cycle on an arbitrary simple Weil variety.

The principal-angle inequalities follow from Cauchy–Binet, Maclaurin and AM–GM as claimed. The phase-character argument establishes the finite-group averaging identity, and the total-reality argument explains why a nonzero effective middle-dimensional cycle on a simple abelian variety cannot attain the calibration equality. The Chebyshev interpolation gives the stated rank-two cohomological projector; its existence alone does not establish algebraicity of its image. On the Fermat side, the displayed degree-12 syzygy is valid, and its surviving Jacobian coefficients give the asserted sporadic character. The higher-dimensional sextic decomposition has a complete elementary counting argument, rather than merely a bounded computational search.

I reproduced the six supplied unittest tests successfully. These include the rational exterior-power projector checks, the degree-12 syzygy and corrected Hilbert-series ranks $970,1605,2653$, and selected full Jacobian determinant calculations. Independent enumeration and determinant calculations identified the corrections below. The tests substantiate these finite identities; they do not independently certify every geometric assertion or construct every cycle invoked through join and deletion.

The novelty should be understood at the level of explicit representatives and formulas. Braun–Fortin–Lopez Garcia–Villaflor Loyola [23], especially equations (2.15), (2.17), (3.2), (3.3) and Theorem 1, already give the sextic surfaces and their residue expansions. The manuscript now acknowledges that overlap. The externally available version of [19], Lengths of Hodge characters in Fermat varieties, establishes substantially broader algebraicity results and explicitly supplies the join/deletion machinery; Proposition 3.7 omits the detailed standard-cycle determinant calculation. I did not find the manuscript's degree-12 syzygy or its entangled complete-intersection models in these directly relevant sources. Markman's [6, Theorem 1.5.1 and Corollary 1.6.1] also confirms the stated previously settled abelian cases. The supplied rStation papers [16], [17] and [24] concern different positivity, double-cover/CM-factor and elliptic-surface results; their relevant constructions do not duplicate this explicit degree-12 model. These comparisons support a modest but meaningful partial contribution, not a new proof of the already known Fermat cases.

The following corrections and qualifications should accompany the paper. They do not change the central rational algebraicity conclusions.

  1. Correct the determinant signs under the stated row ordering. With rows $(g_1,g_2,g_3,h_1,h_2,h_3)$, the coefficient in Theorem 4(b) is $+8im^4$, rather than $-8im^4$. I checked the full determinants for $m=3,4$. With rows $(g_1,g_2,h_1,h_2)$, the curve formula in Theorem 5(b) is

    $$ P_{C_{\mathrm{spor}}}=+12i x_1^5J_3, $$

    so the indicated coefficient is $-864ia$. The mixed sporadic/standard formula in Theorem 5(c) likewise needs $-2i$ in front of the displayed product of block Jacobians. These are overall signs, so nonvanishing, character support and Catalecticant ranks are unaffected. The supplied tests do not compare all these printed signed formulas against their full determinants; add those comparisons before describing the suite as verifying every formula.

  2. Keep permutation classes distinct from Galois orbits throughout Theorem 4 and Table 2. Independent enumeration gives the following counts of exceptional characters:

    | Degree | $S_6$-classes | $S_6\times(\mathbb Z/d\mathbb Z)^\times$-orbits | |---|---:|---:| | $6$ | $8$ | $4$ | | $8$ | $10$ | $4$ | | $9$ | $8$ | $2$ | | $10$ | $44$ | $11$ | | $12$ | $118$ | $39$ |

    In particular, the two pair-free permutation classes at degree $8$ constitute one Galois orbit, as do the four at degree $10$. The support computations still establish the claimed coverage, but the explicit Galois-orbit labels in Theorem 4(c) are incorrect.

  3. Correct the integral attribution in Proposition 1. Reference [23] proves rational generation, and its Theorem 2 establishes a $\mathbb Z[1/6]$ statement. Section 3.4 and the conclusion explicitly distinguish this from integral generation. Replace the assertion about generating $\mathrm{Hdg}^2(X_6^4,\mathbb Z)$ by the rational assertion actually needed here. Also correct [19]'s authors to Maximiliano Miranda, Hossein Movasati, Lucas Rufino and Roberto Villaflor, and identify the version consulted.

  4. State precisely what the final degree-12 coverage uses. The three displayed complete intersections directly reach six of seven pair-free orbits. The last orbit uses the established algebraic join/deletion correspondence applied to $S_1$ and $S_4$. This supports algebraic-cycle coverage of all $39$ exceptional orbits, but does not itself supply complete-intersection equations for the last representative. The test inserts this last tuple; it does not construct its cycle. Keep this distinction in the abstract and summary, and make explicit that spanning uses automorphism translates and rational character-orbit projectors, rather than the three individual classes alone.

  5. Tighten the geometric terminology. In Theorem 2's Hodge-locus proof, distinguish $H^1$ from its dual when taking interior products. In Theorem 3(b), a pullback of the Grassmannian metric is semipositive and positive on directions where the Gauss-map differential is nonzero; a nonzero differential does not imply positive definiteness on every tangent direction. The strict cycle deficit is qualitative, with no uniform positive lower bound established. Also distinguish rational quasi-endomorphisms from actual integer endomorphisms when defining the correspondences on arbitrary fibers.

The metadata abstract is informative but overly dense. A shorter account foregrounding the explicit degree-12 construction, the proved calibration/projector identities, and the unresolved seed-cycle requirement would communicate the contribution more clearly. The numbered references and mathematical notation otherwise make the arguments inspectable.
