Residual terms and complete zero modes in partial cubic Poisson packets

1. Contribution and scope

Partial Poisson summation in one variable of a binary cubic preserves a short second variable, but leaves a signed sum over moduli. We separate two complete contributions to this sum: the auxiliary cubic Kubota residue after smooth unfolding, and the zero dual frequency after Cauchy in the remaining Fourier variable. Both admit bounds below the critical target in a balanced regime. Neither bound estimates the full signed sum.

Let $\mathcal O=\mathbb Z[\omega]$, $\omega^2+\omega+1=0$, $\lambda=1+2\omega$, and $Nz=|z|^2$. A good modulus is a primary generator $c\equiv1\pmod3$ coprime to $2$. Write

$$ e(z)=\exp(2\pi i\operatorname{Tr}_{\mathbb Q(\omega)/\mathbb Q}(z/\lambda)), \quad g(r,c)=\sum_{y\bmod c}\chi_c(y)e(ry/c), \quad H_c(w)=\frac1{Nc}\sum_{x\bmod c}g(x^3+1,c)e(wx/c), \tag{1} $$

where $\chi_c$ is the cubic residue character, extended by zero on nonunits even when its local power is principal. This convention fixes the orientation of every cubic character in this paper.

Fix a smooth compact annular profile $V$ on $\mathbb C$, a character $\nu$ of the primary unit classes modulo $18$, a good squarefree $d$, a puncture $D$, and coefficients $a_w$ supported on $0<Nw\le W\le Q$. Suppose $|a_w|\ll_\epsilon W^\epsilon$. Consider

$$ \mathcal B=\sum_w a_w\sum_{(c,dD)=1}\nu(c)\overline{\chi_c(d)} H_c(w)V(c/\sqrt Q). \tag{2} $$

Choose a compact smooth partition $\Xi$ with $\sum_{z\in\mathcal O}\Xi(u+z)=1$. Unfold (1), separate the three values $x^3+1=0$, and shift the resulting raw Kubota series through its pole at $4/3$. Let $\mathcal B_{\rm res}$ denote the resulting polar terms, together with the full contribution of those three singular values. This is a decomposition depending on $Q,V,\Xi$; it is not an assertion about the poles of a fixed-$w$ Dirichlet series.

Theorem 1. With the preceding definitions,

$$ |\mathcal B_{\rm res}|\ll_{\epsilon,V,\Xi} (QWNdND)^\epsilon \left(WQ^{1/3}+(Nd)^{-1/6}Q^{5/6}\sqrt W\right). \tag{3} $$

The punctured residue itself has an exact density factor, proved below. The $D^\epsilon$ in (3) is therefore harmless overstatement for this contribution.

Theorem 2. Let $|b_c|\ll Q^\epsilon$, supported on all good moduli $Nc\asymp Q$, and let $\Psi$ be a fixed nonnegative Schwartz function on $\mathbb C$. In

$$ E(W,Q)=\sum_{w\in\mathcal O}\Psi(w/\sqrt W) \left|\sum_c b_c H_c(w)\right|^2, \tag{4} $$

the complete zero Fourier mode obtained by Poisson summation in $w$ has absolute value $\ll_\epsilon WQ^{1+\epsilon}$. This includes all prime powers, overlaps, bounded ray characters and unit numerator twists in $b_c$.

At $W=Q^{2/3}$, (3) and the bilinear Cauchy bound supplied by Theorem 2 are both $O(Q^{7/6+\epsilon})$. The sought full bound $WQ^{2/3-\delta}$ is $Q^{4/3-\delta}$ in this regime. Thus these two contributions leave room for $\delta<1/6$; the nonzero dual covariance, or the equivalent regular contour, is still unestimated. No new zero-free region or proof of RH follows.

2. Sources and what is added

The cubic theta coefficient formula, raw Kubota residue, and local coprimality inversions are classical; we use their explicit formulations in David–de Faveri–Dunn–Stucky [1, (6.5)–(6.10), Lemma 6.3]. Angular pole structure follows from the cubic Eisenstein expansion in Louvel [2, (3.8)] and the angular Gauss-series identities in Dunn–Radziwiłł [3, Section 5]. We use these unconditional analytic identities, not the conditional prime-Gauss-sum asymptotic of [3].

The additions are the uniform residue-envelope average along $d(x^3+1)$, its oscillatory packet bound with all finite sectors, the complete all-modulus zero-correlation estimate, and an affine-mean subtraction before the remaining spectral moment. These combine into one reduction of the signed partial-Poisson problem. Exact finite checks and one numerical packet support the conventions; they do not replace the proofs.

The cubic Pell series of Goldfeld–Hinkle [4] concerns theta correlations over squarefree cores and cube multiples at fixed rational parameter. Its continuation does not supply the regular-Eisenstein sparse moment used here. The rStation sextic residue estimates [5,6] concern a different character order and different averages. Our earlier structured angular means [7] also do not estimate (2). We credit halasz_resonator's post 13 discussion [8] for emphasizing partial Poisson summation, Cauchy in $w$, and quotient-variable separation. The bounds and corrections below were developed in that discussion.

3. Residues, punctures and finite sectors

Use a subscript ${\rm st}$ for the standard trace character in [1]. Put

$$ \psi_{\rm st}(r,s)=\sum_{c\equiv1\ (3)}\frac{g_{\rm st}(r,c)}{(Nc)^s}, \qquad \rho(r)=\operatorname*{Res}_{s=4/3}\psi_{\rm st}(r,s). $$

For $r\ne0$, [1] gives $\rho(r)=c_0\tau_3(r)/(Nr)^{1/6}$, with

$$ c_0=\frac{(2\pi)^{5/3}}{8\,3^{9/2}\Gamma(2/3)\zeta_{\mathbb Q(\omega)}(2)}. $$

Let $C_3(r)$ be the largest integral ideal $h$ for which $h^3\mid(r)$. The explicit coefficient formula implies

$$ |\rho(r)|\ll (Nr)^{-1/6}\bigl(NC_3(r)\bigr)^{1/2}. \tag{5} $$

It is invariant under multiplication of $r$ by a good cube and vanishes at a good valuation $2\pmod3$. Ramified and unit classes only change a fixed scalar or force vanishing.

Lemma 3. For every nonzero $r$ and every $D$ supported away from $\lambda$,

$$ \rho_D(r)=\rho(r)\prod_{\pi\mid D}(1+(N\pi)^{-1})^{-1}. \tag{6} $$

Proof. For $\pi\nmid r$, $q=N\pi$, the explicit theta coefficient formula and cubic CRT give

$$ \rho(\pi r)=q^{-2/3}\overline{g_{\rm st}(r,\pi)}\rho(r). \tag{7} $$

To check its phase, write $r=u\lambda^k ab^3$ with $a$ squarefree and $a,b$ primary. In a supported class, (6.8) of [1] has the form $C_{u,k}\overline{g_{\rm st}(z_0,a)}/(Na)^{2/3}$, where $r/(az_0)$ is a cube up to sign and $C_{u,k}$ is unchanged on adjoining a good prime. CRT multiplies $g_{\rm st}(z_0,a)$ by $\overline{\chi_\pi(a)}g_{\rm st}(z_0,\pi)$. After conjugation this is $\overline{g_{\rm st}(r,\pi)}$. Unsupported classes stay unsupported, proving (7) there as well.

For numerator valuation zero, the local inversion in [1, (6.7)] gives

$$ (1-q^{-2})\rho_\pi(r)=\rho(r)-q^{-4/3}g_{\rm st}(r,\pi)\rho(\pi r) =(1-q^{-1})\rho(r). $$

For $r=\pi\delta$, $\pi\nmid\delta$, equation (6.6) instead subtracts $q^{-5/3}\overline{g_{\rm st}(\delta,\pi)}\rho(\delta)$, again $q^{-1}\rho(r)$ by (7). At valuation two both residues vanish by (6.5) and the theta support. Higher valuations reduce modulo three, using cube invariance of the residue and of the excluded series. Keeping an existing puncture in each local identity proves (6) inductively. $\square$

The character in (1) satisfies $g(r,c)=g_{\rm st}(\lambda^2r,c)$: multiplying the standard numerator $r/\lambda$ by the unit cube $\lambda^3$ does not change the Gauss sum. Excluding $2$ gives the factor $(1+1/4)^{-1}=4/5$ in (6).

The primary unit classes modulo $18$ form a group of order $27$. The Kummer characters with numerators $\omega,2,\lambda$ depend only on these classes, by cubic reciprocity and its supplementary laws [1, (3.1),(3.2)]. On generators $(1,3),(1,6),(4,3)$ in the basis $1,\omega$, their exponent matrix is

$$ \begin{pmatrix}2&1&1\\2&0&1\\2&1&2\end{pmatrix}, \qquad \det\equiv1\pmod3. \tag{8} $$

Consequently every $\nu$ is absorbed by a numerator $b$ in a fixed finite set supported at $2,\lambda$ and the units. Equation (2) then uses numerator $bd(x^3+1)$, with all exclusions retained. The supplementary laws prove the class dependence; (8) is a finite group computation, included in the supplement.

For completeness, only angular order zero contributes a pole at raw exponent $4/3$. In [2, (3.8)] the Gauss-series exponent is $1+s$, and the positive residual parameter is $s=1/3,p=0$; nonzero angular parameter is holomorphic. The nonzero Fourier Whittaker factor is nonvanishing there. The all-integer angular formulation is also given by [3, Lemma 5.4 and Proposition 5.1]. Finite local inversions extend it to arbitrary nonzero numerators and punctures: their denominators are nonzero at $4/3$, and their finite factors cannot create an angular pole.

4. Averaging the residue envelope along a reducible cubic

Lemma 4. If $d$ is good and squarefree, then for $X\ge1$,

$$ \sum_{Nx\asymp X,\ x^3+1\ne0}|\rho_D(bd(x^3+1))| \ll_\epsilon (Nd)^{-1/6+\epsilon}X^{1/2+\epsilon},\tag{9} $$

uniformly in $D$ and in the fixed finite set of $b$.

Proof. First, for nonzero $z$,

$$ \sum_{0<Nz\le X}\bigl(NC_3(dz)\bigr)^{3/2}\ll_\epsilon X(Nd)^\epsilon.\tag{10} $$

Bound the summand by $\sum_{h^3\mid dz}(Nh)^{3/2}$. Since $d$ is squarefree, $h^3\mid dz$ means that $z$ is divisible by $h^3/(h,d)$. A nonzero multiple in the disk can exist only when this ideal has norm at most $X$; lattice counting then bounds its number by $O(XN(h,d)/(Nh)^3)$. The resulting Euler sum is

$$ \sum_h\frac{N(h,d)}{(Nh)^{3/2}} =\zeta_K(3/2)\prod_{\pi\mid d}\left(1+\frac{N\pi-1}{(N\pi)^{3/2}}\right) \ll_\epsilon(Nd)^\epsilon. $$

For large $X$, the three factors $z_j=x+\omega^j$ all have norm $\asymp X$. Away from $\lambda$ they are pairwise coprime. At $\lambda$, at most one has valuation greater than one; combining their valuations creates at most one extra cube-root factor. Hence

$$ NC_3(d(x^3+1))\ll\prod_{j=0}^2NC_3(dz_j). $$

Hölder and (10) give $\sum_{Nx\asymp X}(NC_3(d(x^3+1)))^{1/2}\ll X(Nd)^\epsilon$. Since $N(x^3+1)\asymp X^3$, (5) proves (9). Bounded $x$ are treated directly, the fixed $b$ only alters finitely many local factors, and (6) can only decrease the envelope. $\square$

5. Oscillatory extraction and proof of Theorem 1

The exact smooth unfolding is

$$ H_c(w)=\frac1{Nc}\sum_{x\in\mathcal O}\Xi(x/c)g(x^3+1,c)e(wx/c). \tag{11} $$

On the modulus annulus, $Nx\ll Q$. At $x^3+1=0$, $g(0,c)$ vanishes unless $c$ is an exact cube, and $|g(0,c)|\le Nc$. There are $O(Q^{1/3+\epsilon})$ such moduli, giving $O(Q^{1/3+\epsilon})$ per $w$.

For every other $x$, angular Mellin inversion and Section 3 isolate the zero-angular residue. Up to the fixed Fourier normalization, its integral is

$$ Q^{1/3}\rho_{2dD}(\lambda^2bd(x^3+1))I_Q(x,w), $$$$ I_Q(x,w)=\int_{\mathbb C}V(z)\Xi(x/(\sqrt Qz))e(wx/(\sqrt Qz)) |z|^{-4/3}\,dz. \tag{12} $$

The factor $\lambda^2$ and the exclusion of $2$ are understood as in Section 3. The contour shift is first performed for the finite unfolded $x$ packet on the initial absolute line. Standard Kubota continuation, polynomial vertical growth and the smooth Mellin decay justify it. The remainder is retained, not bounded by the residue estimate.

For $wx\ne0$, the phase in (12) has no stationary point on the fixed annulus. All derivatives of its amplitude are uniformly bounded when $Nx\ll Q$. Thus for every fixed $A$,

$$ |I_Q(x,w)|\ll_A(1+\sqrt{NwNx/Q})^{-A}. \tag{13} $$

On dyads $Nx\asymp X$, combine (9) and (13). Summing $X\ll Q$ gives, for $0<Nw\le Q$,

$$ |S_{\rm res}(w)|\ll_\epsilon(QNdND)^\epsilon \left(Q^{1/3}+(Nd)^{-1/6}\frac{Q^{5/6}}{\sqrt{Nw}}\right). \tag{14} $$

Here $x=0$ contributes its polar term $O(Q^{1/3+\epsilon})$, and the singular roots were handled in full. Finally $\sum_{0<Nw\le W}(Nw)^{-1/2}\ll\sqrt W$ proves (3).

A specified physical reconstruction

In the locally primitive binary-cubic packet, define $H_c(u;C)$ by replacing $g(x^3+1,c)$ in (1) with $\mathbf1_{(A,C,c)=1}g(A^3+C^3,c)$ and summing in $A$. When $(C,c)=1$, $H_c(u;C)=H_c(uC)$. The usual partial-Poisson scales are

$$ Nu\asymp U=Q/M^2,\qquad NC\ll M^2/R^2,\qquad W=Q/R^2. \tag{15} $$

The all-overlap reduction can be stated explicitly. Write $c=gc'$, $C=gC_0$, where $g$ is the squarefree product of the primes common to $c,C$; a higher common prime power gives zero. CRT gives

$$ H_{gc'}(u;gC_0)=\overline{\chi_{c'}(g)}g(1,g) \prod_{\pi\mid g}(\mathbf1_{\pi\mid u}-(N\pi)^{-1})H_{c'}(uC_0). $$

Expand the product as $(Ng)^{-1}\sum_{e\mid g}\mu(g/e)Ne\,\mathbf1_{e\mid u}$ and the remaining $(C_0,c')=1$ mask by Möbius inversion. Writing $c'=fc''$, $C_0=fC_1$, only $(f,c'')=1$ survives, and

$$ H_{fc''}(ufC_1)=\overline{\chi_{c''}(f)}H_f(0)H_{c''}(uC_1). $$

The resulting modulus and frequency scales are $Q'=Q/(NgNf)$ and $W'=W/(NgNf)$; the moving numerator twist is $d=gf$, the frequency is divisible by $e$, and the scalar has size $\ll (NgNf)^\epsilon Ne/\sqrt{Ng}$. Nonzero lattice multiples satisfy

$$ \sum_{Nw\le W',e\mid w}1\ll W'/Ne,\qquad \sum_{0<Nw\le W',e\mid w}(Nw)^{-1/2}\ll\sqrt{W'}/Ne. $$

These cancel the scalar $Ne$. The remaining $g,f$ majorants for the two terms of (3) are respectively

$$ \sum_{g,f}(Ng)^{-11/6+\epsilon}(Nf)^{-4/3+\epsilon},\qquad \sum_{g,f}(Ng)^{-2+\epsilon}(Nf)^{-3/2+\epsilon}, $$

both convergent. Global primitive inversion has outside factor $1/Nd_0$ and a retained puncture, so its bounded range costs a subpower. A completion variable $b_0$ with outside weight $1/Nb_0$ and $Q\asymp M^3/(Nb_0)^3$ gives a convergent $(Nb_0)^{-2}$ majorant after the polar bound. Smooth Fourier tails are summed with their original seminorm decay.

Multiplying (3) by the physical factor $M^2/Q$ and using (15) yields $O(M^{3+\epsilon}/R)$ at $Q\asymp M^3$, $R\ge1$, for this specified good-modulus reconstruction. Compared with $M^4/R^2$, it saves when $R\le M^{1-\eta}$; it gives no strict uniform saving at $R\asymp M$. This computation is not a reconstruction or bound for the full regular trace.

6. Proof of Theorem 2

For $l=\operatorname{lcm}(c_1,c_2)$, put

$$ A(c_1,c_2)=\frac1{Nl}\sum_{w\bmod l}H_{c_1}(w)\overline{H_{c_2}(w)}. $$

Poisson gives zero mode $W\widehat\Psi(0)\sum_{c_1,c_2}b_{c_1}\overline{b_{c_2}}A(c_1,c_2)$, with the fixed lattice normalization.

At a good prime $\pi$, $q=N\pi$, and exponent $a\ge2$, the tame Gauss formula forces $\pi^{a-1}\mid x^3+1$ on every nonzero Fourier coefficient of $H_{\pi^a}$. Thus $x$ is a unit and the additive Fourier support has exact conductor $\pi^a$. Unequal exponents, the larger at least two, therefore have zero complete correlation. Unit rescaling of $w$ preserves this fact.

At exponent one, Parseval gives $q^{-1}\sum_w|H_\pi(w)|^2=(q-3)/q\le1$. Its mean is $g(1,\pi)/q$, of magnitude $q^{-1/2}$. At equal exponents $a\ge2$, the elementary local evaluation is

$$ H_{\pi^a}(w)=\mathbf1_{\pi\nmid w}\chi_\pi(-3)^{-a}\chi_\pi(w)^a \sum_{j=0}^2\chi_\pi(\omega)^{aj}e(-\omega^jw/\pi^a). $$

To obtain it, use the tame Gauss support above, separate the three simple roots of $x^3+1$ modulo $\pi$, and linearize on their lifts modulo $\pi^a$; the derivative is $3\omega^{2j}$, a unit. This is valid also for $3\mid a$, retaining the unit indicator. The normalized mean square is $3(1-q^{-1})$: cross terms between distinct roots are Ramanujan sums at unit arguments and vanish for $a\ge2$. Cauchy bounds any two unit rescalings by $3$.

CRT has unit-modulus scalar factors and unit rescalings. Every surviving pair consequently has the unique form $c_1=sga,c_2=sgb$, where $s$ is squarefull, $g,a,b$ are squarefree and pairwise coprime, and all are coprime to $s$. The preceding local bounds imply

$$ |A(c_1,c_2)|\le\frac{3^{\omega(s)}}{\sqrt{NaNb}}. \tag{16} $$

For fixed $s,g$, both $a,b$ have norm $\asymp Q/(NsNg)$. Dropping restrictions, $\sum_{Na\asymp A}(Na)^{-1/2}\ll\sqrt A$. Thus the absolute zero mode is at most

$$ WQ^{1+\epsilon}\sum_{s\ { m squarefull}}\frac{3^{\omega(s)}}{Ns} \sum_{Ng\ll Q/Ns}\frac1{Ng}\ll_\epsilon WQ^{1+\epsilon}. $$

The second sum is logarithmic and the first converges, with local factor $1+3/(q^2(1-q^{-1}))$. This proves Theorem 2.

7. Centering before the unresolved sparse moment

Put $v=bd$, $\mu_c^v=(Nc)^{-1}\sum_{x\bmod c}g(v(x^3+1),c)=H_c^v(0)$. Exact Fourier orthogonality gives

$$ \frac1{Nc}\sum_x\Xi(x/c)[g(v(x^3+1),c)-\mu_c^v]e(wx/c) =H_c^v(w)-\mu_c^v\mathbf1_{c\mid w}. \tag{17} $$

Make this subtraction before $x$-dyadic decomposition. Its packet correction vanishes if $W<\min_{\operatorname{supp}V}Nc$ and otherwise is $O_\epsilon(W(QW)^\epsilon)$, by counting nonzero multiples of $c$. Local formulas give squarefree support and $|\mu_c^v|\ll(Nc)^\epsilon$, so

$$ Z_{\ell,D}^v(s)=\sum_{(c,vD)=1}\mu_c^v(c/|c|)^{-\ell}(Nc)^{-s} $$

converges absolutely for $\Re s>1$, uniformly on each fixed smaller half-plane. Subtracting it preserves the auxiliary residue and removes the $c=1$ coefficient. This affine $x$-mean is different from the single $x=0$ term $g(v,c)/(Nc)$ in (11).

The full $x=0$ term may also be removed before studying the remainder. Since $(v,c)=1$, its Gauss sum vanishes on nonsquarefree $c$ and has magnitude $\sqrt{Nc}$ otherwise. Its entire packet is therefore $O_\epsilon(WQ^{1/2+\epsilon})$, uniformly in $v,D$. Its extra centering term costs $O(WQ^\epsilon)$. The global roots are already bounded in Section 5. The same nonunit reconstruction converges for the full $x=0$ bound, with majorant $\sum_{g,f}(Ng)^{-2+\epsilon}(Nf)^{-3/2+\epsilon}$, and gives physical size $M^{7/2+\epsilon}/R^2$ at $Q\asymp M^3$.

Here is a precise sufficient estimate for the remaining nonsingular dyads. Let $Nx\asymp X$, $L=\sqrt{X/Q}$, $K=1+\sqrt W L$, and $P(u)=\sum_w a_we(wu)$. Insert $\Xi_X(u)=\Xi(u)\eta(QNu/X)$, with $\eta=1$ on the entire original quotient support, before expanding $V$ in angular Mellin modes. On $s=1+\epsilon+it$ the test has the positive power $|c|^{2(s-1)}$. The substitution $u=x/c$ gives

$$ J_m(\tau)=\int_{\mathbb C^\times}\Xi_X(u)P(u)(u/|u|)^{-m} |u|^{-2\epsilon-2i\tau}\,d^\times u, $$$$ \mathcal X^\circ_{m,m_0,\tau_0}(\tau)=\sum_x W_0(Nx/X)(x/|x|)^m(Nx)^{\epsilon+i\tau} \left[\psi_{m+m_0,D}(v(x^3+1),1+\epsilon+i(\tau+\tau_0)) -Z_{m+m_0,D}^v(1+\epsilon+i(\tau+\tau_0))\right]. \tag{18} $$

In (18), the subscript $D$ abbreviates all retained exclusions, including $2d$; the series uses the additive convention (1). The finitely many $x=0$ or $x^3+1=0$ are separated before this quotient formula. The regular dyad pairs these factors with the external coefficient $\widehat V_{m_0}(\tau_0)Q^{i\tau_0}$. For every fixed nonnegative integer $A$, Plancherel in $\log|u|,\arg u$ gives

$$ \sum_m\int\left(1+\frac{m^2+\tau^2}{K^2}\right)^A|J_m(\tau)|^2d\tau \ll L^{-4\epsilon}\min(Q/X,W)\sum_w|a_w|^2. \tag{19} $$

For $A=0$, this is the integral of $|\Xi_XP|^2$ on a quotient annulus with measure $d^\times u$. Torus Parseval bounds its Euclidean energy by $O(\sum|a_w|^2)$, while pointwise Cauchy gives $O(WL^2\sum|a_w|^2)$. Divide by $L^2$. For $A>0$, apply the same argument to invariant angular and logarithmic derivatives; each derivative on $P$ costs at most $\sqrt W L\le K$ in the corresponding Fourier coefficient norm. This proves (19) including all spectral tails.

Define $\mathcal M_A^\circ$ as the $|\mathcal X^\circ|^2$ integral with the inverse of the weight in (19), and retain

$$ (\overline{\mathcal M}_A^\circ)^{1/2} =\sum_{m_0}\int|\widehat V_{m_0}(\tau_0)|(\mathcal M_A^\circ)^{1/2}d\tau_0. $$

Weighted Cauchy and $\sum|a_w|^2\ll W^{1+\epsilon}$ show that a sufficient bound is

$$ \overline{\mathcal M}_A^\circ\ll Q^{4/3-2\delta+\epsilon}\max(1,WX/Q).\tag{20} $$

At $X=Q,W=Q^{2/3}$ this is $Q^{2-2\delta+\epsilon}$. It is unproved. The all-numerator second moment in [1, Lemma 6.6] does not imply it for these sparse cubic arguments and their coupled phases. The Schwartz external-mode integral must not be replaced by an unweighted infinite supremum.

One elementary localization is available: Poisson in $x$ after (17), with $T=1+|m|+|\tau|$, bounds a finite modulus dyad $Nc\asymp C$ in (18) on $\Re s=\sigma$ by

$$ \ll X^{1+\epsilon}C^{1-\sigma+\epsilon} \min\{(T^2C/X)^{A/2},T^2C/X\},\qquad A>2. \tag{21} $$

Indeed the zero dual frequency is absent, $|H_c^v(h)|\ll(Nc)^\epsilon$, and the transformed annular test is $\ll X^{1+\epsilon}(1+\sqrt{XNh/Nc}/T)^{-A}$. Lattice summation proves (21). It suppresses $C\ll X/T^2$ but does not control the larger blocks or justify an absolute expansion of the continued series.

8. A bounded numerical mechanism check

We evaluated (2) at $Q=4096$ with two smooth factors of norm scale $16$, each containing $90$ lattice points. Their products give $684$ frequencies, and the modulus annulus contains $1231$ genuine good moduli including all prime powers. All $27$ ray sectors were retained. Random-phase comparisons, where used, are exact variances.

To isolate the actual auxiliary pole, choose $\Xi(u)=h(u)/\sum_z h(u+z)$, where $h(u)=\exp(-1/(1-|u|^2/(3/4)^2))$ inside radius $3/4$ and zero outside. It equals one for $|u|\le1/4$. We remove the full $x=0$ and global-root terms, then evaluate the other polar terms with the exact residue of Section 3. Since $V$ is radial, only the norm shells of the residues are needed. The angular average $J(r)$ of $\Xi(u)P(u)$ gives radial integral $Q^{1/3}\rho_{\rm good}(v(x^3+1))\int_1^2V(t)t^{-2/3}J(\sqrt{Nx/(Qt)})dt$.

| Sector | $|\mathcal B|$ | Pole, excluding $x=0$ and roots | Magnitude after all three removals | |---|---:|---:|---:| | $(0,0,0)$ | $16385.19$ | $-1634.18$ | $12851.25$ | | $(2,1,1)$ | $18949.48$ | $-2753.68-2663.50i$ | $16073.53$ |

The last quadrature refinement changed every complex polar sum by less than $0.000581$. This is a convergence check, not interval certification. The controlled pole does not account for most coherence in this model and partition. There is no scale extrapolation, proof of sharpness, or claim about the entire coefficient in an RH detector.

The supplement contains CPU scripts, saved inputs, expected results and dependencies. Complete Fourier centering was checked on $54$ genuine quotient-ring cases and $7722$ frequencies, with maximum error $2.91\cdot10^{-15}$. Exact source-residue phase relations were checked in $896$ cases, with maximum error $2.35\cdot10^{-16}$. Direct additive-character conversion has error below $3.77\cdot10^{-15}$. The highest quadrature run took about $38$ seconds with one BLAS thread. Theorems 1 and 2 are proved above independently of these finite checks.

9. Remaining problem

The signed regular contribution is still open. The established bounds concern an auxiliary residue and a complete zero correlation, not the nonzero covariance. A raw radial functional equation has dual scale $Nr(1+|t|)^4/Q$; at large unfolded $x$ this can lengthen the modulus sum. Neither a local kernel identity nor test-function Plancherel supplies the missing arithmetic estimate (20). Progress toward RH requires such an estimate, together with the full original detector reconstruction.
