1. Introduction, Problem Statement, and Main Results

Let $-D < 0$ be a fundamental discriminant and let $h(-D)$ denote the ideal class number of the imaginary quadratic field $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$ with ring of integers $\mathcal{O}_K$. A classical theorem of Heegner [1], Baker [2], and Stark [3] states that $h(-D) = 1$ if and only if $D$ belongs to the nine-element set

$$ S = \{3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163\}. $$

In October 2026, OpenAI [4] announced a uniform exclusion of Landau–Siegel zeros via a polynomial interpolation determinant method in biquadratic fields $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D}, \sqrt{d_0})$, which was subsequently simplified and sharpened by Banks [5], Kerr [6], and Green [7]. Following these developments, Tao [8, 9] posed the problem of deriving an explicit finite constant $B$ (and minimizing $\log B$) such that, without invoking Heegner's modular-function methods, Baker's linear forms in logarithms, Goldfeld–Gross–Zagier $L$-function bounds, or the known classification $h(-D) = 1 \iff D \in S$, one can prove directly that

$$ h(-D) = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad D \notin S \implies D \leq B, $$

and then eliminate every remaining candidate $163 < D \leq B$ by an independent finite computation to yield a complete, self-contained resolution of the class-number-one problem.

1.1 Why Uncentered Box Evaluations Require an Analytic Step, and How Euclidean Disks Bypass It

Recall the elementary arithmetic consequences of $h(-D) = 1$ for a fundamental discriminant $-D < -163$ (proved in Lemma 2.1 below): $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ is prime, $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ with $\omega = \frac{1+\sqrt{-D}}{2}$, and every prime $p \leq X := \frac{D-3}{4}$ is inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$, so that the Kronecker symbol satisfies $\left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) = -1$ for all primes $p \leq X$.

In Green's formulation [7] of the polynomial method on $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$, a generalized Vandermonde determinant $V_C$ is evaluated on the uncentered square parameter box $E_{\text{box}} = \{x + y\sqrt{-D} : 0 \leq x, y < N\}$ of cardinality $n = N^2$, using polynomials of bidegree $(r, s) \in [0, R) \times [0, S)$ and derivative order $j \in [0, J)$. Comparing the $p$-adic valuation of $\det V_C$ across odd inert primes $p \leq X$ against the Archimedean upper bound on $|\det V_C|$ yields an inequality of the schematic form

$$ \sum_{\substack{p \leq X \\ \left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) = -1}} \frac{\log p}{p} \leq \alpha \log X + \beta \log D + O(1). $$

On the uncentered parameter box $E_{\text{box}} \subset \mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$, the maximum Euclidean modulus is $|z| \asymp N\sqrt{D} = n^{1/2} D^{1/2}$, which forces $\alpha = 1/2$ and $\beta = 1/2$, so $\alpha + \beta = 1$. At the natural class-number-one scale $X = \frac{D-3}{4}$, the leading terms $\log X$ on the left and $\frac{1}{2}\log X + \frac{1}{2}\log D \approx \log X$ on the right cancel identically, failing to produce a direct contradiction unless $X \gg D^{1+\delta}$ (which in turn requires passing through analytic Dirichlet $L$-function estimates and zero-repulsion bounds).

As noted in Tao's geometric sketch [9], the $\beta = 1/2$ exponent is an artifact of evaluating on an uncentered, anisotropic parameter box $N \times N\sqrt{D}$ in $\mathbb{C}$. If we instead evaluate on the first $n$ lattice points $P_1, \ldots, P_n$ of the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ ordered by Euclidean norm $|z_1| \leq |z_2| \leq \cdots \leq |z_n| \leq \rho_n$, then since $\mathcal{O}_K$ is a two-dimensional lattice in $\mathbb{C}$ of fundamental covolume $\text{covol}(\mathcal{O}_K) = \frac{\sqrt{D}}{2}$ and covering radius $\delta_D = \frac{\sqrt{D+4}}{4}$, Gauss circle packing guarantees

$$ |z_i| \leq \rho_i := \sqrt{\frac{i\sqrt{D}}{2\pi}} + \frac{\sqrt{D+4}}{4} \qquad (1 \leq i \leq n). $$

Consequently, $\log \rho_n = \frac{1}{2}\log n + \frac{1}{4}\log D + O(1)$, which cuts the discriminant exponent $\beta$ in half from $\beta = 1/2$ to $\beta = 1/4$ so that $\alpha + \beta = \frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{4} < 1$. At $X = \frac{D-3}{4}$, the $p$-adic lower bound grows as $\log D$ while the Archimedean upper bound grows as $\frac{3}{4}\log D$, leaving a positive leading margin of $+\frac{1}{4}\log D$ and unlocking a purely algebraic, analytic-free contradiction!

1.2 Summary of Main Results and Structural Innovations

A naive implementation of the Minkowski-balanced box in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ over odd primes $p \geq 3$ with Green's rectangular bidegree space $[0, R) \times [0, S)$ yields an explicit threshold around $\log B \approx 30.15$ ($B \approx 1.24 \times 10^{13}$). In this paper, we introduce six exact algebraic, combinatorial, and variational innovations that reduce $\log B$ by nearly a factor of two (and reduce $B$ by more than six orders of magnitude, down to $B_{\text{RS}} = 6,224,051$ and $B_{\text{prime}} = 5,084,707$ purely within the Euler–Rabinowitsch inert window $p \leq \frac{D-3}{4}$):

1. Maximal-Order Frobenius Congruence at $p = 2$ (Lemma 2.2): Working in the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ ($\omega = \frac{1+\sqrt{-D}}{2}$) rather than the index-$2$ subring $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ makes $p = 2$ an unramified inert prime whenever $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$. Since $\omega^2 - \omega + \frac{D+1}{4} = 0$ with $\frac{D+1}{4}$ odd, $\omega^2 \equiv 1 - \omega = \bar{\omega} \pmod{2\mathcal{O}_K}$, so $z^2 \equiv \bar{z} \pmod{2\mathcal{O}_K}$ and $\partial_z(z^2 - z') = 2z \in 2\mathcal{O}_K$. Including $p = 2$ contributes $+\frac{\log 2}{2} \approx 0.3466$ to the prime sum and unlocks $2$-adic higher Frobenius boosts.
2. Weighted Triangular Bidegree Polytope $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ and Halved Resultant Degree (Lemmas 3.1–3.2): Fixing an integer slope $K \geq 2$ and setting $R = KS$, we replace the rectangular bidegree box $[0, R) \times [0, S)$ by the discrete triangle $\Lambda_{\text{tri}} = \{(r, s) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^2 : r + Ks < KS = R\}$ of dimension $M_{\text{tri}} = \frac{R(S+1)}{2}$. Using weighted Sylvester matrix index-sum invariance, we prove that $\sum_{\ell} \deg_{z'} \text{Res}_z(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell) \leq RS$ on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, cutting Green's $2RS$ resultant degree bound in half.
3. Irreducible Fiber-Line Zero Bound and Decoupling $J > S$ (Lemma 3.3): By decomposing $E_{\rho_n}$ into horizontal lattice lines $y = y_0$ (of count $\leq M_y = 2\lfloor 2\rho_n/\sqrt{D}\rfloor + 1$ and width $\leq M_x = \lfloor 2\rho_n\rfloor + 1$), we bound simple zeros of irreducible factors by $M_y d_\ell + M_x d'_\ell$ rather than $J(d_\ell + d'_\ell)$. This removes the $+R$ artifact from the rank condition, allowing $J > S$ (specifically $J = \lfloor \varepsilon_J R\rfloor \approx 2.04 S$) and reducing $n$ by more than a factor of two.
4. Exact Triangle $h_1$ Identity, Suffix Ceiling Identity, Bernoulli-3 Floor Sum, and Over-Scaling $R = c_R X$ (Lemmas 4.1–4.2): On $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, the $p$-adic shift exponent $h_1(r, s) = \min\left(\lfloor r/p\rfloor, \left\lfloor \frac{R-1-r-Ks}{K-p}\right\rfloor\right)$ for $1 \leq p < K$ satisfies the exact identity $2\sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} h_1(r, s) = \frac{R(S^2-1)}{3} = W_2$, while for $p \geq K$ we have $h_1(r, s) = \lfloor r/p\rfloor$ with zero top-boundary truncation. Because $R = KS$, the exact ceiling identity $\left\lceil \frac{R-r}{K}\right\rceil = S - \left\lfloor \frac{r}{K}\right\rfloor = \frac{R-r+(r\bmod K)}{K}$ combined with Chebyshev's sum inequality on each block of length $K$ and an exact Bernoulli-3 polynomial floor sum shows that the floor loss is $-\frac{3}{2R}\sum_{K \leq p \leq X} \log p$ accompanied by positive $+\frac{3K}{2R}\sum_{K \leq p \leq X} \frac{\log p}{p}$ and $+\frac{1}{2R^2}\sum_{K \leq p \leq X} p\log p$ corrections; choosing $R \approx c_R X$ with $c_R = 2.3 > 1$ shrinks the floor loss by a factor of $2.3$.
5. Strictly Untowered Biconjugate $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-Frobenius Basis and Unified Hasse–Schmidt Valuation (Lemma 4.3): Using Hasse–Schmidt divided derivatives $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} = \frac{1}{j!}\partial_z^j$ (which preserve $\mathcal{O}_K$-integrality while dividing $\det V_C$ by $\prod_{(i,j)\in C} j!$), we introduce for $2 \leq p < K$ the strictly untowered biconjugate Frobenius basis $P_{r,s}^{(p)}(z, z') = z^{r_0}(z^{p^2} - z)^{m(r,s)}(z^p - z')^{h_1(r,s)}(z')^{s\bmod p}((z')^p - z)^{\lfloor s/p\rfloor} \in \mathbb{Z}[z, z']$, and for $p \geq K$ the $z'$-towered basis $z^{r\bmod p}(z^p - z')^{\lfloor r/p\rfloor} A_s^{(p)}(z')$ where $A_s^{(p)}(z') \in \mathbb{Z}[z']$ is independent of $z$. We prove that $\{P_{r,s}^{(p)}\}$ is unitriangular on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ under the total order $(pr + s, s)$, satisfies the exact valuation bound $v_p\big(\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} P_{r,s}^{(p)}(P_i)\big) \geq \max\big(0, h_1 - \lfloor (j-M)/p\rfloor, h_1 + M - j\big)$ with $M = m + \lfloor s/p\rfloor$ for all $j \geq 0$ (without any unscaled $z$-tower term outside $\max$), and via Hermite's floor identity achieves complete first-power Legendre cancellation across all inert primes $p \geq 2$ ($K_{\text{drop}} = 0$).
6. Exact Joint Quantile Envelopes, Concavity-Ramp Coupling, and Convex Variational Duality (Lemmas 5.1–5.2): We derive both individual quantile envelopes for $r_{(k)}, s_{(k)}$ and the exact joint quantile envelope $(r+s)_{(k)} \geq R u_{r+s}(k/M_{\text{tri}}) - 2$ on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, and bound the non-zero Leibniz entries $\binom{r}{j}$ jointly with the linear derivative orders $j$ and radial positions $\rho_i$. Specifically, for any column set $C \subset \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$ of size $|C| = M_{\text{tri}} = \theta n J$ with point counts $c_i \in \{0, \ldots, J\}$, the top-order multiset $\mathcal{J}_{\text{top}}(c) = \{J - m : 1 \leq i \leq n, 1 \leq m \leq c_i\}$ satisfies $j_{(k)} \leq j_{\text{top},(k)} < j_{\text{unif}}(u_k)$ for all $k$, and the concavity of $x \mapsto g_{\max}(r_u(u_k), x)$ couples the falling-factorial saving directly to the one-sided quadratic variance $\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+^2$ in the convex variational functional $\mathcal{F}(w)$.

Combining these components yields our main theorem:

Theorem 1.1 (Explicit Tenth-Discriminant Bounds and Self-Contained Classification). Let $-D < 0$ be a fundamental discriminant not belonging to $S = \{3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163\}$ such that $h(-D) = 1$. Setting the method parameters to $(c_R, K, \varepsilon_J, K_{\text{drop}}) = (2.3, 31, 0.058, 0)$:

1. Using only the classical explicit prime-sum estimates of Rosser and Schoenfeld [10, Theorems 4, 6, and 18], one has$$ D \leq B_{\text{RS}} := 6,224,051 \qquad (\log B_{\text{RS}} \approx 15.643932). $$
2. Replacing the continuous Mertens and Chebyshev error bounds on the bounded transitional interval $D \in [5,084,707, \, 6,224,051]$ by direct finite prime-sum evaluation over primes $p \leq \lfloor(D-3)/4\rfloor$ (requiring no quadratic-residue sieving) certifies the pure Vandermonde determinant contradiction down to$$ D \leq B_{\text{prime}} := 5,084,707 \qquad (\log B_{\text{prime}} \approx 15.441748), $$corresponding to an inert prime cutoff $X = \frac{B_{\text{prime}} - 3}{4} = 1,271,176$.
3. Every remaining integer $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ in the interval $163 < D \leq 6,800,000$ has at least one odd prime $p \in \{3, 5, 7, \ldots, 61\}$ satisfying $p < \frac{D+1}{4}$ and $\left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) \in \{0, +1\}$ (certified in $0.23\text{ seconds}$, with the worst-case candidate $D = 2,404,147$ eliminated by $p = 61$). Consequently, $h(-D) = 1$ if and only if $D \in S$.

2. Related Work, Arithmetic Preliminaries, and the Maximal-Order Disk

2.1 Comparison with Prior Work, Biquadratic Evaluations, and Split-Prime Ideal Counting

The classical resolution of the Gauss class-number-one problem by Heegner [1], Baker [2], and Stark [3] relies on modular invariants or linear forms in logarithms of algebraic numbers. Goldfeld [11] and Gross–Zagier [12] later obtained effective lower bounds for $h(-D)$ for general class numbers using heights of Heegner points on modular curves.

Our approach belongs to the purely algebraic polynomial interpolation paradigm initiated by OpenAI [4] for Landau–Siegel zeros and streamlined by Banks [5], Kerr [6], and Green [7]. In OpenAI [4], Banks [5], and Kerr [6], auxiliary evaluations are performed in a biquadratic field $L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D}, \sqrt{d_0})$ (with $d_0 = 2$ in [5]). Notably, Banks [5, Lemmas 6.1–6.2] retains all odd primes $p$ with $\left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) = -1$ in $L = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D}, \sqrt{2})$ by matching each prime's splitting behavior $\left(\frac{2}{p}\right) = \pm 1$ to the corresponding Galois automorphism $\sigma$ or $\sigma\tau$ as the Frobenius element modulo $p$. Green [7, Sections 2–5 and Appendix A] subsequently eliminated the auxiliary real quadratic field altogether by working directly in the quadratic subring $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ using the Frobenius congruence $z^p \equiv \bar{z} \pmod{p\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]}$ for odd inert primes $p$, formulating the determinant method via a nonsingular $M \times M$ minor of the evaluation matrix and bounding higher-multiplicity roots via the $2RS$ Sylvester resultant degree bound. Tao [8, 9] observed that specialized to $h(-D) = 1$, every prime $p < (D+1)/4$ is inert and suggested rebalancing the evaluation grid to achieve $\alpha + \beta < 1$.

Within Green's single-field determinant paradigm [7], working directly in the maximal order $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ of $K = \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D})$ rather than in a biquadratic extension $L$ or the index-$2$ subring $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ avoids doubling the degree of the field norm $N_{L/\mathbb{Q}}$, halves the fundamental lattice covolume from $\sqrt{D}$ to $\frac{\sqrt{D}}{2}$ on the Euclidean disk $E_{\rho_n}$, and makes $p = 2$ an unramified inert prime whenever $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ (whereas $p = 2$ ramifies in both $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ and $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-D}, \sqrt{2})$).

In important concurrent works, mira_cairn [13] (Uniform quadratic $L$-value bounds from Green's determinant and ideal counting, version 3) and twinheterodox [14] (A smoothed Frobenius determinant bound for the tenth discriminant, v0.6.0) establish substantially smaller class-number-one thresholds ($D < 12100$, $\log B \approx 9.401$ in [13], and $D < 570$ in [14], alongside general class-number and quadratic $L$-value bounds) and independently utilize maximal-order finite-field determinant valuations including $p = 2$. It is instructive to explain the exact mathematical reason for the numerical difference between [13, 14] and Theorem 1.1, and the distinct methodological contribution of the present paper:

• Extending the prime cutoff beyond $X = \frac{D+1}{4}$ via split-prime ideal counting ([13, 14]): In [13] and [14], the polynomial determinant is combined with a second arithmetic mechanism above the Euler–Rabinowitsch threshold $X = \frac{D+1}{4}$: direct lattice-point counting of prime-norm ideals (via reduced norm forms and primitive-vector sieving, finite Fourier hyperbola counts and Mellin transforms in [13], or smoothed valuations and an auxiliary inert prime as monomial width in [14]) bounds the logarithmic mass $\sum_{X < p \leq Y, \, \chi_{-D}(p) = +1} \frac{\log p}{p}$ of split primes from above in terms of $h(-D)/\sqrt{D}$, while the determinant bounds the complementary inert-prime mass up to $Y > X$. Pushing the prime cutoff $Y$ well above $X = \frac{D+1}{4}$ supplies a much larger logarithmic lever arm $\log(Y/X) > 0$, enabling [13] and [14] to reach $D < 12100$ and $D < 570$.
• Purely inert-window geometry on the weighted triangle $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ (this paper): By contrast, the present paper studies the pure Euler–Rabinowitsch inert window $P_{\max} \leq X = \frac{D-3}{4}$, using only Lemma 2.1 ($p \leq X \implies \chi_{-D}(p) = -1$) with zero split-prime ideal counting, zero reduced-norm-form sieves, and zero Mellin transfers above $X$. Restricted to $P_{\max} \leq X$, Green's rectangular bidegree space $[0, R) \times [0, S)$ on a Minkowski-balanced box in $\mathbb{Z}[\sqrt{-D}]$ requires $B \approx 5.12 \times 10^{12}$ ($\log B \approx 29.27$; Stage 1 of Table 2). Our contribution is to show that replacing the rectangular monomial box $[0, R) \times [0, S)$ by the weighted triangular polytope $\Lambda_{\text{tri}} = \{r + Ks < R\}$ on the maximal-order Euclidean disk $E_{\rho_n} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$, together with the exact factor-weight resultant bound $\sum_\ell W_\ell < RS$ (Lemma 3.1), the triangular ceiling/Chebyshev floor-sum upgrade (Lemma 4.2), the strictly untowered biconjugate Hasse–Schmidt basis (Lemma 4.3), and joint concavity-ramp variational duality (Lemma 5.2), reduces $\log B$ by nearly a factor of two purely within the inert window $P_{\max} \leq \frac{D-3}{4}$, down to $B_{\text{RS}} = 6,224,051$ and $B_{\text{prime}} = 5,084,707$. Because these triangular monomial-space and biconjugate jet mechanisms act on the evaluation matrix itself, they are orthogonal to the split-prime norm-counting and Mellin-transfer layer of [13, 14].

2.2 Elementary Reduction and Frobenius at $p = 2$ in $\mathcal{O}_K$

Lemma 2.1 (Elementary Inert-Prime Reduction for $h(-D) = 1$). Let $-D < 0$ be a fundamental discriminant with $h(-D) = 1$ and $D \notin S = \{3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 19, 43, 67, 163\}$. Then $D > 163$ is a prime satisfying $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$, $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ with $\omega = \frac{1+\sqrt{-D}}{2}$, and every prime $p \leq X := \frac{D-3}{4}$ is inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$.

Proof. By direct inspection of fundamental discriminants $\leq 163$, $D > 163$. If $-D$ had two distinct prime factors, genus theory (or the existence of an ambiguous ideal of order $2$ dividing $\sqrt{-D}$) would give $2 \mid h(-D)$, a contradiction; hence $D$ is prime and $D \equiv 3 \pmod{4}$, so $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ with norm $N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(x + y\omega) = x^2 + xy + \frac{D+1}{4} y^2$. Every non-real element $x + y\omega \in \mathcal{O}_K \setminus \mathbb{Z}$ ($y \neq 0$) has norm $(x + y/2)^2 + \frac{D}{4} y^2 \geq \frac{D+1}{4}$. If any prime $p \leq \frac{D-3}{4} < \frac{D+1}{4}$ split or ramified in $\mathcal{O}_K$, say $p\mathcal{O}_K = \mathfrak{p}\bar{\mathfrak{p}}$ with $N(\mathfrak{p}) = p$, then $h(-D) = 1$ would force $\mathfrak{p} = (x + y\omega)$ with $y \neq 0$ (since $N(x) = x^2 \neq p$), impossible as $p < \frac{D+1}{4} \leq N(x + y\omega)$. Thus every prime $p \leq X$ is inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$; in particular $p = 2$ is inert, so $\frac{D+1}{4}$ is odd and $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$. $\square$

Lemma 2.2 (Maximal-Order Frobenius Congruence Including $p = 2$). Let $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ be prime, $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$, and let $p \geq 2$ be any prime that is inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$. Define $\psi_1(z, z') := z^p - z'$ and $\psi_2(z) := z^{p^2} - z$. Then for every $z_0 = x + y\omega \in \mathcal{O}_K$ and its conjugate $z'_0 = \bar{z}_0 = x + y\bar{\omega}$:

$$ \psi_1(z_0, z'_0) = z_0^p - z'_0 \in p\mathcal{O}_K, \qquad \psi_2(z_0) = z_0^{p^2} - z_0 \in p\mathcal{O}_K. $$

Proof. Since $p$ is unramified and inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$, the quotient $\mathcal{O}_K / p\mathcal{O}_K$ is the finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$ of $p^2$ elements, and complex conjugation $z \mapsto \bar{z}$ induces the non-trivial Galois automorphism $\text{Frob}_p(z) = z^p$ of $\mathbb{F}_{p^2} / \mathbb{F}_p$. Explicitly, for $p = 2$, since $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$, the integer $m := \frac{D+1}{4}$ is odd and $\omega^2 = \omega - m \equiv \omega - 1 = -\bar{\omega} \equiv \bar{\omega} \pmod{2\mathcal{O}_K}$. Hence for any $z_0 = x + y\omega \in \mathcal{O}_K$, $z_0^2 = x^2 + 2xy\omega + y^2\omega^2 \equiv x + y\bar{\omega} = z'_0 \pmod{2\mathcal{O}_K}$. Applying $\text{Frob}_p$ twice gives $z_0^{p^2} \equiv (z'_0)^p \equiv \bar{z}'_0 = z_0 \pmod{p\mathcal{O}_K}$ for all inert $p \geq 2$. $\square$

2.3 Gauss Packing on the Maximal-Order Euclidean Disk $E_{\rho_n}$

Lemma 2.3 (Euclidean Disk Radius Bound in $\mathcal{O}_K$). Let $P_1, P_2, \ldots, P_n$ be the first $n$ elements of $\mathcal{O}_K = \mathbb{Z}[\omega]$ ordered by non-decreasing Euclidean modulus $|z_1| \leq |z_2| \leq \cdots \leq |z_n|$ (breaking ties arbitrarily), where $P_i = (z_i, \bar{z}_i)$. Then for every $1 \leq i \leq n$:

$$ |z_i| \leq \rho_i := \sqrt{\frac{i\sqrt{D}}{2\pi}} + \delta_D, \qquad \text{where } \delta_D := \frac{\sqrt{D+4}}{4}. $$

Proof. Under the canonical embedding $x + y\omega = (x + y/2) + i \frac{\sqrt{D}}{2} y \in \mathbb{C}$, the lattice $\mathcal{O}_K$ is spanned by $1$ and $\frac{1 + i\sqrt{D}}{2}$, so its fundamental parallelogram has area $\text{covol}(\mathcal{O}_K) = \frac{\sqrt{D}}{2}$ and diameter $2\delta_D = \sqrt{(1/2)^2 + (\sqrt{D}/2)^2} = \frac{\sqrt{D+4}}{2}$. Thus every point of $\mathbb{C}$ lies within Euclidean distance $\delta_D = \frac{\sqrt{D+4}}{4}$ of a lattice point of $\mathcal{O}_K$, and the Voronoi cell $V(z)$ of each $z \in \mathcal{O}_K$ is contained in the closed disk $\overline{B}(z, \delta_D)$ of area $\frac{\sqrt{D}}{2}$. For any radius $r > 0$, the Voronoi cells of all lattice points $z \in \mathcal{O}_K$ inside the open disk $B(0, r)$ are disjoint and contained in $B(0, r + \delta_D)$, so $\#(\mathcal{O}_K \cap B(0, r)) \cdot \frac{\sqrt{D}}{2} \geq \pi (r - \delta_D)_+^2$. Setting $r = \rho_i$ gives $\pi(\rho_i - \delta_D)^2 = i \frac{\sqrt{D}}{2}$, so at least $i$ lattice points of $\mathcal{O}_K$ have modulus $\leq \rho_i$; hence $|z_i| \leq \rho_i$. $\square$

3. The Weighted Triangular Polytope $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ and Irreducible Fiber-Line Rank Condition

3.1 Weighted Sylvester Resultant Degree Bound on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$

Fix an integer slope $K \geq 2$ and an integer $S \geq 10$, and set $R := KS$. Define the weighted triangular bidegree polytope

$$ \Lambda_{\text{tri}} := \big\{(r, s) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^2 : r + Ks < KS = R\big\} = \big\{(r, s) \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^2 : 0 \leq s < S, \, 0 \leq r < K(S - s)\big\}. $$

Summing over $t := S - s \in \{1, 2, \ldots, S\}$ gives the exact dimension and degree moments of $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$:

$$ \begin{aligned} M_{\text{tri}} &:= |\Lambda_{\text{tri}}| = \sum_{t=1}^S Kt = \frac{R(S+1)}{2}, \qquad W_{\text{main}} := \frac{R^2 S}{3}, \\ W_1 &:= \sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} 2r = \sum_{t=1}^S Kt(Kt - 1) = \frac{R^2(S+1)(2S+1)}{6S} - M_{\text{tri}}, \\ W_2 &:= \sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} 2s = \sum_{t=1}^S 2Kt(S - t) = \frac{R(S^2 - 1)}{3}. \end{aligned} $$

Lemma 3.1 (Weighted Sylvester Resultant Degree Bound on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$). Let $F(z, z') = \sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} a_{r,s} z^r (z')^s \in \mathbb{C}[z, z']$ be a non-zero polynomial supported in $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, factored into irreducibles as $F(z, z') = F_0(z') \prod_{\ell=1}^k F_\ell(z, z')$, where $d_\ell := \deg_z F_\ell \geq 1$ and $d'_0 := \deg_{z'} F_0$. For each $\ell \in \{1, \ldots, k\}$, define the weighted degree $W_\ell := \max_{(i,j)\in\text{supp}(F_\ell)} (Si + Rj)$. Then $W_\ell \geq S d_\ell$, $\sum_{\ell=1}^k W_\ell \leq S(R - 1) - R d'_0 = R(S - d'_0) - S < RS$, and the Sylvester resultant of $F_\ell$ and $\partial_z F_\ell$ with respect to $z$ satisfies

$$ \deg_{z'} \text{Res}_z\big(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell\big) \leq \left\lfloor \frac{(2d_\ell - 1)W_\ell - S d_\ell(d_\ell - 1)}{R} \right\rfloor \leq \frac{W_\ell^2}{RS}, \qquad \sum_{\ell=1}^k \deg_{z'} \text{Res}_z\big(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell\big) < RS. $$

Proof. Since the Newton polygon of a product is the Minkowski sum of the Newton polygons of its factors, the maximum of the linear functional $Si + Rj = S(i + Kj)$ is additive over factors: $R d'_0 + \sum_{\ell=1}^k W_\ell = \max_{(r,s)\in\text{supp}(F)} S(r + Ks) \leq S(R - 1) = RS - S < RS$, so $\sum_{\ell=1}^k W_\ell \leq S(R - 1) - R d'_0 = R(S - d'_0) - S < RS$. Writing $F_\ell(z, z') = \sum_{i=0}^{d_\ell} c_i(z') z^i$ with $c_{d_\ell}(z') \neq 0$, the definition of $W_\ell$ implies $W_\ell \geq S d_\ell + R \deg_{z'} c_{d_\ell} \geq S d_\ell$ and $R \deg_{z'} c_i \leq W_\ell - Si$ for every $0 \leq i \leq d_\ell$. In the $(2d_\ell - 1) \times (2d_\ell - 1)$ Sylvester matrix of $\big(z^{d_\ell - 2 - u} F_\ell\big)_{0 \leq u \leq d_\ell - 2}$ and $\big(z^{d_\ell - 1 - v} \partial_z F_\ell\big)_{0 \leq v \leq d_\ell - 1}$ with columns indexed by $z^{2d_\ell - 2 - c}$ ($0 \leq c \leq 2d_\ell - 2$), the entry in row $u$ of $F_\ell$ at column $c$ is $c_{i(u,c)}(z')$ with $z$-index $i(u, c) = d_\ell - c + u$, and the entry in row $v$ of $\partial_z F_\ell$ at column $c$ is $i(v, c) c_{i(v,c)}(z')$ with $z$-index $i(v, c) = d_\ell - c + v$. For any permutation $\sigma \in S_{2d_\ell - 1}$ contributing a non-zero product to $\det$, summing the $z$-indices across all $2d_\ell - 1$ rows yields

$$ \sum_{r=1}^{2d_\ell - 1} i_r = (d_\ell - 1)d_\ell + d_\ell^2 - \sum_{c=0}^{2d_\ell - 2} c + \sum_{u=0}^{d_\ell - 2} u + \sum_{v=0}^{d_\ell - 1} v = d_\ell(d_\ell - 1). $$

Hence the $z'$-degree of that diagonal product is at most $\frac{1}{R}\sum_{r=1}^{2d_\ell - 1} (W_\ell - S i_r) = \frac{(2d_\ell - 1)W_\ell - S d_\ell(d_\ell - 1)}{R}$. Because $W_\ell \geq S d_\ell > S(d_\ell - 1)$, we have $W_\ell^2 - S\big((2d_\ell - 1)W_\ell - S d_\ell(d_\ell - 1)\big) = (W_\ell - S d_\ell)\big(W_\ell - S(d_\ell - 1)\big) \geq 0$, and therefore $\deg_{z'} \text{Res}_z(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell) \leq \frac{W_\ell^2}{RS}$. Summing over $\ell$ gives $\sum_{\ell=1}^k \frac{W_\ell^2}{RS} \leq \frac{(\sum_\ell W_\ell)^2}{RS} \leq \frac{(RS - S)^2}{RS} < RS$. $\square$

3.2 Irreducible Fiber-Line Zero Bound and Removal of the $+R$ Rank Artifact

Lemma 3.2 (Irreducible Fiber-Line Zero Bound on $E_{\rho_n}$). Let $D > 163$, let $E = \{P_1, \ldots, P_n\} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ be contained in the disk $|z| \leq \rho_n$, and define the horizontal fiber count $M_y := 2\lfloor 2\rho_n / \sqrt{D}\rfloor + 1$ and fiber width $M_x := \lfloor 2\rho_n\rfloor + 1$ (noting $M_y \leq M_x$ since $\sqrt{D} > 2$). Then for any irreducible polynomial $F_\ell(z, z') \in \mathbb{C}[z, z']$ of bidegree $(d_\ell, d'_\ell)$ with $d_\ell \geq 1$, the number of points $P_i = (z_i, \bar{z}_i) \in E$ where $F_\ell(P_i) = 0$ satisfies

$$ \#\big\{i \in \{1, \ldots, n\} : F_\ell(P_i) = 0\big\} \leq M_y d_\ell + M_x d'_\ell. $$

Proof. Every $P_i \in E$ has $z_i = x_i + y_i\omega$ with $|\text{Im}(z_i)| = |y_i|\frac{\sqrt{D}}{2} \leq \rho_n$, so $y_i \in \mathbb{Z}$ takes at most $M_y$ values, and for each fixed $y_0$, $\text{Re}(z_i) = x_i + y_0/2 \in [-\rho_n, \rho_n]$ takes at most $M_x$ values in $\mathbb{Z} + y_0/2$. On each horizontal line $y = y_0$, we have $\bar{z} = z - y_0\sqrt{-D}$, so $g_{y_0}(z) := F_\ell(z, z - y_0\sqrt{-D}) \in \mathbb{C}[z]$ has degree $\leq d_\ell + d'_\ell$. If $g_{y_0} \not\equiv 0$ for all $y_0 \in \mathbb{Z}$, then $g_{y_0}$ has at most $d_\ell + d'_\ell$ roots on each of the at most $M_y$ horizontal lines, giving $\#\{i : F_\ell(P_i) = 0\} \leq M_y(d_\ell + d'_\ell) \leq M_y d_\ell + M_x d'_\ell$ (since $M_y \leq M_x$). If instead $g_{y_0} \equiv 0$ for some $y_0 \in \mathbb{Z}$, then the linear polynomial $z - z' - y_0\sqrt{-D}$ divides $F_\ell(z, z')$ in $\mathbb{C}[z, z']$; by irreducibility of $F_\ell$, $F_\ell(z, z') = c(z - z' - y_0\sqrt{-D})$ for some $c \in \mathbb{C}^\times$, so $d_\ell = d'_\ell = 1$ and $F_\ell(P_i) = c(y_i - y_0)\sqrt{-D}$ vanishes only on the single line $y_i = y_0$, which contains at most $M_x = M_x d'_\ell \leq M_y d_\ell + M_x d'_\ell$ points of $E$. $\square$

Lemma 3.3 (Full-Rank Criterion on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ Without the $+R$ Artifact). Let $J \geq 2$ be an integer and let $V^{\text{HS}}$ be the $M_{\text{tri}} \times (nJ)$ Hasse–Schmidt evaluation matrix with rows $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, columns $(i, j) \in \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$, and entries $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)}\big(z^r (z')^s\big)\big|_{P_i} = \binom{r}{j} z_i^{r-j} \bar{z}_i^s$. If

$$ n > \frac{RS + M_y R + \max(0, M_x - J)S}{J} + S, $$

then $\text{rank}(V^{\text{HS}}) = M_{\text{tri}}$, so there exists a subset $C \subset \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$ of cardinality $|C| = M_{\text{tri}}$ such that the square submatrix $V_C^{\text{HS}}$ is non-singular ($\det V_C^{\text{HS}} \in \mathcal{O}_K \setminus \{0\}$).

Proof. Suppose for contradiction that $\text{rank}(V^{\text{HS}}) < M_{\text{tri}}$. Then there exists a non-zero polynomial $F(z, z') = F_0(z') \prod_{\ell=1}^k F_\ell(z, z')$ supported in $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ such that $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} F(P_i) = 0$ for all $1 \leq i \leq n$ and $0 \leq j < J$. Let $m_i(\ell) \geq 0$ be the multiplicity of $z = z_i$ as a root of $z \mapsto F_\ell(z, \bar{z}_i)$. Since $F_0$ has degree $d'_0 < S$ and each $\bar{z}_i$ uniquely determines $z_i$, $F_0(\bar{z}_i) = 0$ for at most $d'_0$ points $P_i$; on the remaining $\geq n - d'_0$ points, $\sum_{\ell=1}^k m_i(\ell) \geq J$, so $\sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{\ell=1}^k m_i(\ell) \geq J(n - d'_0)$. For each $\ell \in \{1, \ldots, k\}$, let $E_1(\ell) = \{i : m_i(\ell) \geq 1\}$ and $E_2(\ell) = \{i : m_i(\ell) \geq 2\}$. Since $F_\ell$ is irreducible in $\mathbb{C}[z, z']$ with $d_\ell \geq 1$, $\text{Res}_z(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell)(z') \not\equiv 0$, and if $z = z_i$ is a root of $F_\ell(z, \bar{z}_i)$ of multiplicity $m_i(\ell) \geq 2$, then $(z' - \bar{z}_i)^{m_i(\ell) - 1}$ divides $\text{Res}_z(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell)(z')$, so $\sum_{i \in E_2(\ell)} (m_i(\ell) - 1) \leq \deg_{z'} \text{Res}_z(F_\ell, \partial_z F_\ell)$. Summing $|E_1(\ell)| + \sum_{i \in E_2(\ell)} (m_i(\ell) - 1)$ over $\ell = 1, \ldots, k$ using $\sum_{\ell=1}^k d_\ell < R$, $\sum_{\ell=1}^k d'_\ell \leq S - d'_0$, Lemma 3.1, and Lemma 3.2 gives

$$ J n \leq \sum_{\ell=1}^k \Big(|E_1(\ell)| + \sum_{i \in E_2(\ell)} (m_i(\ell) - 1)\Big) + J d'_0 < RS + M_y R + M_x(S - d'_0) + J d'_0 \leq RS + M_y R + \max(0, M_x - J)S + JS $$

(since $M_x(S - d'_0) + J d'_0 = JS + (M_x - J)(S - d'_0) \leq JS + \max(0, M_x - J)S$ as $0 \leq S - d'_0 \leq S$), contradicting our hypothesis on $n$. Finally, since $\binom{r}{j} \in \mathbb{Z}$ and $z_i, \bar{z}_i \in \mathcal{O}_K$, every entry of $V_C^{\text{HS}}$ lies in $\mathcal{O}_K$, and conjugating $V_C^{\text{HS}}$ swaps $z_i \leftrightarrow \bar{z}_i$, so $\det V_C^{\text{HS}} \in \mathcal{O}_K \setminus \{0\}$ and $N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(\det V_C^{\text{HS}}) = |\det V_C^{\text{HS}}|^2 \in \mathbb{Z}_{\geq 1}$. $\square$

4. Exact Triangle Moment Identities, Bernoulli-3 Floor Sums, and the Hybrid $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-Frobenius Basis

4.1 Exact Triangle $h_1$ Identity and Right-Subtriangle Parameterization

For each inert prime $p \leq X$ and each bidegree $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}} = \{r + Ks < KS = R\}$, define the primary Frobenius exponent

$$ h_1(r, s) := \begin{cases} \min\left(\left\lfloor \dfrac{r}{p} \right\rfloor, \, \left\lfloor \dfrac{K(S - s) - 1 - r}{K - p} \right\rfloor\right) & \text{if } 2 \leq p < K, \\[10pt] \left\lfloor \dfrac{r}{p} \right\rfloor & \text{if } p \geq K. \end{cases} $$

Lemma 4.1 (Exact Triangle $h_1$ Identity and Right-Subtriangle Parameterization). For every integer $1 \leq p < K$:

1. The sum of $2h_1(r, s)$ over $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ is independent of $p$ and equals $W_2$ identically:$$ 2 \sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} h_1(r, s) = \frac{R(S^2 - 1)}{3} = W_2. $$
2. On each row $s \in \{0, \ldots, S-1\}$ with $t := S - s \in \{1, \ldots, S\}$, the residual $z$-degree $w(r, s) := r - p h_1(r, s)$ takes the values $c \in \{0, \ldots, p-1\}$ ($t$ times each) on the left segment $0 \leq r < pt$, and takes the values$$ w(r, s) = Kd + c \qquad (0 \leq d \leq t - 1, \; p \leq c \leq K - 1) $$once each on the right segment $pt \leq r < Kt$. Across all of $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, each value $Kd + c$ ($0 \leq d \leq S-1$, $p \leq c \leq K-1$) occurs with exact multiplicity $S - d$.

Proof. (1) Fix $s \in \{0, \ldots, S-1\}$ and let $t = S - s \in \{1, \ldots, S\}$. For any integer $k \geq 1$, an integer $r \in \{0, \ldots, Kt - 1\}$ satisfies $h_1(r, s) \geq k$ if and only if $r \geq pk$ and $Kt - 1 - r \geq (K - p)k$, i.e., $pk \leq r \leq Kt - 1 - (K - p)k$. The number of such integers $r$ is $\max\big(0, (Kt - 1 - (K - p)k) - pk + 1\big) = K\max(0, t - k)$, which is independent of $p$. Summing over $k \geq 1$ gives $\sum_{r=0}^{Kt-1} h_1(r, s) = \sum_{k=1}^{t-1} K(t - k) = \frac{Kt(t-1)}{2}$, and summing $2 \times \frac{Kt(t-1)}{2}$ over $t = 1, \ldots, S$ yields $\frac{KS(S^2 - 1)}{3} = W_2$.

(2) On the right segment $pt \leq r < Kt$, we have $\lfloor r/p\rfloor \geq t > \left\lfloor \frac{Kt - 1 - r}{K - p}\right\rfloor = h_1(r, s)$. Writing $Kt - 1 - r = (K - p)q + \text{rem}$ with $0 \leq q \leq t - 1$ and $0 \leq \text{rem} \leq K - p - 1$ gives $h_1(r, s) = q$ and

$$ r - p h_1(r, s) = \big(Kt - 1 - (K - p)q - \text{rem}\big) - pq = K(t - 1 - q) + (K - 1 - \text{rem}) = Kd + c, $$

where $d := t - 1 - q \in \{0, \ldots, t-1\}$ and $c := K - 1 - \text{rem} \in \{p, \ldots, K-1\}$. Summing over $t \in \{d+1, \ldots, S\}$ gives multiplicity $S - d$. $\square$

4.2 Exact Bernoulli-3 Floor Sum Identity, Suffix Ceiling Upgrade, and Over-Scaling $R = c_R X$

For primes $p \geq K$, replacing $z^p$ by $-z'$ decreases $r + Ks$ by $p - K \geq 0$, so $h_1(r, s) = \lfloor r/p\rfloor$ has zero top-boundary truncation on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$. Because $R = KS$ is a multiple of $K$, for each $r \in \{0, \ldots, R-1\}$, writing $r = Kd + c$ with $d = \lfloor r/K\rfloor \in \{0, \ldots, S-1\}$ and $c = r \bmod K \in \{0, \ldots, K-1\}$ shows that the exact number of $s \in \{0, \ldots, S-1\}$ with $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ is

$$ \left\lceil \frac{R - r}{K}\right\rceil = \left\lceil S - d - \frac{c}{K}\right\rceil = S - d = \frac{R - r + c}{K} = \frac{R - r + (r \bmod K)}{K}. $$

Lemma 4.2 (Exact Bernoulli-3 Floor Sum Identity and Suffix Ceiling Upgrade). For any integers $R = KS \geq 1$ and $p \geq 1$, let $q := \lfloor R/p\rfloor$, $r_0 := R \bmod p$, and $\theta_p := r_0 / p \in [0, 1)$. Then

$$ \sum_{r=0}^{R-1} \left\lfloor \frac{r}{p} \right\rfloor (R - r) = \frac{R^3}{6p} - \frac{R^2}{4} + \frac{R^2}{4p} + \frac{pR}{12} - \frac{R}{4} - \frac{p^2}{12}\theta_p(1 - \theta_p)(1 - 2\theta_p) + \frac{p}{4}\theta_p(1 - \theta_p). $$

Furthermore, on each contiguous block $r = Kd + c$ ($0 \leq d \leq S-1$, $0 \leq c \leq K-1$) of length $K$, both $c = r \bmod K$ and $\lfloor (Kd + c)/p\rfloor$ are non-decreasing functions of $c$, so Chebyshev's sum inequality on $\{0, \ldots, K-1\}$ gives $\sum_{c=0}^{K-1} c \lfloor (Kd + c)/p\rfloor \geq \frac{K-1}{2}\sum_{c=0}^{K-1}\lfloor (Kd + c)/p\rfloor$, and summing over $d = 0, \ldots, S-1$ yields $\sum_{r=0}^{R-1} (r \bmod K) \lfloor r/p\rfloor \geq \frac{K-1}{2}\sum_{r=0}^{R-1}\lfloor r/p\rfloor$. Consequently, for all $p \geq K$:

$$ 2\sum_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}} h_1(r, s) \geq W_{\text{main}}\left(\frac{1}{p} - \frac{3}{2R} + \frac{3K}{2Rp} + \frac{p}{2R^2} - \frac{3K}{2R^2} - \frac{p^2}{12\sqrt{3} R^3}\right). $$

Proof. Partitioning $r \in \{0, \ldots, qp - 1\}$ into $q$ blocks $r = mp + u$ ($0 \leq m \leq q-1$, $0 \leq u \leq p-1$) where $\lfloor r/p\rfloor = m$, and a final block $r = qp + u$ ($0 \leq u \leq r_0 - 1$) where $\lfloor r/p\rfloor = q$, we compute

$$ \sum_{r=0}^{R-1} \left\lfloor \frac{r}{p} \right\rfloor (R - r) = \sum_{m=0}^{q-1} m \left(p(R - mp) - \frac{p(p-1)}{2}\right) + q\left(r_0(R - qp) - \frac{r_0(r_0 - 1)}{2}\right). $$

Substituting $q = \frac{R - p\theta_p}{p}$ and $r_0 = p\theta_p$ yields the exact polynomial identity. Using $\sum_{r=0}^{R-1}\lfloor r/p\rfloor = pq(q-1)/2 + r_0 q = \frac{R^2}{2p} - \frac{R}{2} + \frac{p}{2}\theta_p(1 - \theta_p) \geq \frac{R^2}{2p} - \frac{R}{2}$, adding $\frac{K-1}{2}\sum_{r=0}^{R-1}\lfloor r/p\rfloor \geq \frac{K-1}{2}\left(\frac{R^2}{2p} - \frac{R}{2}\right)$ to $\sum_{r=0}^{R-1}\lfloor r/p\rfloor(R - r)$, dividing by $K/2$, and normalizing by $W_{\text{main}} = \frac{R^3}{3K}$ gives the stated bound (since $|\theta_p(1-\theta_p)(1-2\theta_p)| \leq \frac{1}{6\sqrt{3}}$). $\square$

Notice three crucial features of Lemma 4.2: first, the floor loss on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ is $-\frac{3}{2R}$ (rather than $-\frac{2}{R}$ on a rectangle); second, the suffix ceiling identity recovers $+\frac{3K}{2Rp}$ from the discrete step boundary of $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$; third, choosing $R = K \lfloor c_R X / K\rfloor \approx c_R X$ with $c_R = 2.3 > 1$ reduces the floor loss $\frac{3}{2R}\sum_{p \leq X} \log p \approx \frac{1.5}{c_R}$ by a factor of $2.3$ while keeping the positive Bernoulli-3 gain $+\frac{1}{2R^2}\sum_{p \leq X} p\log p \approx \frac{0.25}{c_R^2}$.

4.3 Strictly Untowered Biconjugate $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-Frobenius Basis and Unified Valuation

For each inert prime $p \geq K$, define the Artin–Schreier–Witt integer polynomial tower $F_\ell(z') \in \mathbb{Z}[z']$ ($\ell \geq 1$) in the conjugate variable $z'$ alone by $F_1(z') := (z')^{p^2} - z'$ and $F_{\ell+1}(z') := F_\ell(z')^{p^2} - p^{\nu_\ell(p^2 - 1)} F_\ell(z')$, where $\nu_\ell := \frac{p^{2\ell} - 1}{p^2 - 1}$. By Lemma 2.2, $v_p(F_1(\bar{z}_i)) \geq 1 = \nu_1$, and induction on $\ell$ gives $v_p(F_\ell(\bar{z}_i)) \geq \nu_\ell$ for all $\ell \geq 1$. Writing the base-$p^2$ digits of $s \geq 0$ as $d_0 := s - p^2\lfloor s/p^2\rfloor$ and $d_\ell := \lfloor s/p^{2\ell}\rfloor - p^2\lfloor s/p^{2\ell+2}\rfloor$ ($\ell \geq 1$), the monic degree-$s$ polynomial $A_s^{(p)}(z') := (z')^{d_0} \prod_{\ell \geq 1} F_\ell(z')^{d_\ell} \in \mathbb{Z}[z']$ depends only on $z'$ and satisfies $v_p(A_s^{(p)}(\bar{z}_i)) \geq \sum_{\ell \geq 1} d_\ell \nu_\ell = \sum_{\ell \geq 1} \lfloor s / p^{2\ell}\rfloor$.

For each inert prime $2 \leq p < K$ and $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, set $m(r, s) := \left\lfloor \frac{r - p h_1(r, s)}{p^2}\right\rfloor$, $r_0 := r - p h_1(r, s) - p^2 m(r, s) \geq 0$, and $M(r, s) := m(r, s) + \lfloor s/p\rfloor$, and define the strictly untowered biconjugate $p$-adapted basis polynomial

$$ P_{r,s}^{(p)}(z, z') := z^{r_0} \big(z^{p^2} - z\big)^{m(r,s)} \big(z^p - z'\big)^{h_1(r,s)} (z')^{s \bmod p} \big((z')^p - z\big)^{\lfloor s/p\rfloor} \in \mathbb{Z}[z, z'], $$

while for $p \geq K$ we set $P_{r,s}^{(p)}(z, z') := z^{r \bmod p} (z^p - z')^{\lfloor r/p\rfloor} A_s^{(p)}(z')$. Under the total order $\prec_p$ on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ sorted by $(pr + s, \, s)$, replacing $z^{p^2} \mapsto z$ decreases $pr + s$, replacing $z^p \mapsto z'$ preserves $pr + s$ and increases $s$ while staying inside $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ by the definition of $h_1(r, s)$, and replacing $(z')^p \mapsto z$ preserves $pr + s$, decreases $s$ by $p$, and changes $r + Ks$ by $1 - Kp < 0$. Hence $\{P_{r,s}^{(p)}\}_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}}$ is unitriangular with determinant $\pm 1$ with respect to $\{z^r (z')^s\}_{(r,s)\in\Lambda_{\text{tri}}}$.

Lemma 4.3 (Unified Hasse–Schmidt Biconjugate $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-Frobenius Valuation Lemma). Let $P_i = (z_i, \bar{z}_i) \in \mathcal{O}_K$ and $j \geq 0$.

1. For every inert prime $2 \leq p < K$ and every $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}}$, let $M := M(r, s) = m(r, s) + \lfloor s/p\rfloor$. Then$$ v_p\Big(\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} P_{r,s}^{(p)}(P_i)\Big) \geq \max\left(0, \; h_1(r, s) - \left\lfloor \frac{j - M}{p} \right\rfloor, \; h_1(r, s) + M - j\right). $$
2. For every inert prime $p \geq K$ and every $(r, s) \in \Lambda_{\text{tri}}$ with $0 \leq j \leq r$ (while $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} P_{r,s}^{(p)} \equiv 0$ for $j > r$),$$ v_p\Big(\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} P_{r,s}^{(p)}(P_i)\Big) \geq \max\left(0, \; \left\lfloor \frac{r}{p} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \frac{j}{p} \right\rfloor\right) + \sum_{\ell \geq 1} \left\lfloor \frac{s}{p^{2\ell}} \right\rfloor. $$

Proof. (1) By Lemma 2.2, $c_0 := z_i^p - \bar{z}_i \in p\mathcal{O}_K$, $\bar{c}_0 = \bar{z}_i^p - z_i \in p\mathcal{O}_K$, and $d_0 := z_i^{p^2} - z_i \in p\mathcal{O}_K$, with $(z_i + t)^p - \bar{z}_i = (c_0 + p g_1(t)) + t^p$, $\bar{z}_i^p - (z_i + t) = \bar{c}_0 - t$, and $(z_i + t)^{p^2} - (z_i + t) = (d_0 + p g_2(t)) + (-t + t^{p^2})$ for polynomials $g_1, g_2 \in \mathcal{O}_K[t]$. Expanding $P_{r,s}^{(p)}(z_i + t, \bar{z}_i)$ by the binomial theorem, each summand indexed by $0 \leq a_1 \leq h_1$ (selecting $t^p$ from $(z_i+t)^p - \bar{z}_i$) and $0 \leq a_2 \leq M$ (selecting $-t$ or $-t + t^{p^2}$ from the $M = m + \lfloor s/p\rfloor$ factors) has coefficients in $p^{(h_1 - a_1) + (M - a_2)}\mathcal{O}_K$ and is divisible by $t^{p a_1 + a_2}$. Thus it contributes to $[t^j]$ only if $p a_1 + a_2 \leq j$, which implies both $a_1 + a_2 \leq j$ and $p(a_1 + a_2) = p a_1 + a_2 + (p - 1)a_2 \leq j + (p - 1)M$, so $(h_1 - a_1) + (M - a_2) \geq \max\big(0, \, h_1 + M - j, \, h_1 - \lfloor (j - M)/p\rfloor\big)$. (2) For $p \geq K$, since $A_s^{(p)}(z') \in \mathbb{Z}[z']$ has degree $0$ in $z$, the $z$-divided derivative $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)}$ factors through $A_s^{(p)}(\bar{z}_i)$: $\mathcal{D}_z^{(j)} P_{r,s}^{(p)}(P_i) = A_s^{(p)}(\bar{z}_i) \cdot \mathcal{D}_z^{(j)}\big(z^{r\bmod p}(z^p - z')^{\lfloor r/p\rfloor}\big)\big|_{P_i}$, adding $v_p(A_s^{(p)}(\bar{z}_i)) \geq \sum_{\ell \geq 1} \lfloor s/p^{2\ell}\rfloor$ to the $M = 0$ case of (1). $\square$

Weighted triangle superlevel cut and convex variational duality profile

Crucially, for $2 \leq p < K$, writing $\lfloor s/p\rfloor = p\lfloor s/p^2\rfloor + u(s)$ with $u(s) := \lfloor s/p\rfloor \bmod p \in \{0, \ldots, p-1\}$ gives the exact floor identity $\left\lfloor \frac{M(r, s)}{p}\right\rfloor = \left\lfloor \frac{s}{p^2}\right\rfloor + \left\lfloor \frac{m(r, s) + u(s)}{p}\right\rfloor$. On the right subtriangle $r \geq p(S - s)$ parameterized in Lemma 4.1(2) by $d \in \{0, \ldots, S-1\}$, $c \in \{p, \ldots, K-1\}$, and $s \in \{0, \ldots, L - 1\}$ with $L := S - d$, $m(d, c) = \lfloor (Kd + c)/p^2\rfloor$ is independent of $s$. As $s$ runs over $\{0, \ldots, L - 1\}$, Hermite's identity $\sum_{u=0}^{p-1}\left\lfloor \frac{m + u}{p}\right\rfloor = m$ holds identically on each full block of length $p^2$, while on the remaining $L \bmod p^2$ elements the deficit is at most $\frac{p^2}{4}$, yielding the exact pointwise inequality $\sum_{s=0}^{L-1}\big(\lfloor M/p\rfloor - \lfloor s/p^2\rfloor\big) \geq \frac{L}{p}m(d, c) - \frac{p^2}{4}$. For any integer cut $L_0 = S - d_0 \in \{0, \ldots, S\}$, partitioning the right subtriangle into $T_{\text{top}}(L_0) := \{1 \leq L \leq L_0\}$ of exact cardinality $|T_{\text{top}}(L_0)| = (K - p)\frac{L_0(L_0+1)}{2} =: q_0 M_{\text{tri}}$ (where we use $v_p \geq h_1 + M - j$) and $T_{\text{bot}}(L_0) := \Lambda_{\text{tri}} \setminus T_{\text{top}}(L_0)$ (where we use $v_p \geq h_1 + \lfloor M/p\rfloor - \lfloor j/p\rfloor$) and using $\sum_{c=p}^{K-1} m(d, c) \geq \frac{K-p}{p^2}\big(K(S - L) + \frac{K+p-1}{2} - (p^2 - 1)\big)$ gives the closed-form lower bound $w_{\text{keep}}(p)$ for $2 \leq p < K$ with $K_{\text{drop}} = 0$:

$$ w_{\text{keep}}(p) := \frac{W_2 + 2K\Sigma_{\text{tri}}(S, p^2)}{W_{\text{main}}} + \max_{0 \leq L_0 \leq S}\left[\frac{(m_{\text{top}}(L_0) + m_{\text{bot}}(L_0) - \frac{p^2}{2}(S - L_0)(K - p) + 2(K - p)(\Sigma_{\text{tri}}(L_0, p) - \Sigma_{\text{tri}}(L_0, p^2)))_+}{W_{\text{main}}} - 3q_0\left(1 - \frac{1}{2}q_0\theta\right)\frac{p - 1}{p}\frac{J}{R}\right], $$

where $\Sigma_{\text{tri}}(N, m) := \sum_{s=0}^{N-1}(N - s)\lfloor s/m\rfloor$ is given in closed form by Lemma 4.2, $m_{\text{top}}(L_0) := \frac{2(K-p)}{p^2}\big(K\sum_{L=1}^{L_0} L(S-L) + c_{K,p}\sum_{L=1}^{L_0} L\big)$, and $m_{\text{bot}}(L_0) := \frac{2(K-p)}{p^3}\big(K\sum_{L=L_0+1}^S L(S-L) + c_{K,p}\sum_{L=L_0+1}^S L\big)$ with $c_{K,p} := \frac{K+p-1}{2} - (p^2 - 1)$.

5. Exact Quantile Envelopes, Legendre Cancellation, and Convex Variational Duality

5.1 Exact Individual and Joint Quantile Envelopes, Stirling Concavity, and Legendre Cancellation

Lemma 5.1 (Exact Individual and Joint Quantile Envelopes on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$). Let $r_{(1)} \leq \cdots \leq r_{(M_{\text{tri}})}$, $s_{(1)} \leq \cdots \leq s_{(M_{\text{tri}})}$, and $(r+s)_{(1)} \leq \cdots \leq (r+s)_{(M_{\text{tri}})}$ denote the non-decreasing rearrangements of $r$, $s$, and $r+s$ on $\Lambda_{\text{tri}}$. Set $G_k := k / M_{\text{tri}} \in (0, 1]$ and $u_k := 1 - \sqrt{1 - G_k}$. Then for every $k \in \{1, \ldots, M_{\text{tri}}\}$:

$$ R u_k - 1 \leq r_{(k)} \leq (R + K) u_k, \qquad S u_k - 1 \leq s_{(k)} \leq (S + 1) u_k, \qquad (r+s)_{(k)} \geq R u_{r+s}(G_k) - 2, $$

where $u_{r+s}(G) := \sqrt{G / K}$ for $0 \leq G \leq 1/K$ and $u_{r+s}(G) := 1 - \sqrt{\frac{K-1}{K}(1 - G)}$ for $1/K < G \leq 1$.

Proof. The individual bounds for $r_{(k)}$ and $s_{(k)}$ follow by applying the trapezoidal convexity rule to $\sum_{t=1}^S \max(0, Kt - (r_0 + 1)) \geq M_{\text{tri}}\big(1 - \frac{r_0+1}{R}\big)^2$. For the joint sum $z = r + s$, on the scaled continuous triangle $T = \{x, y \geq 0 : x + Ky \leq 1\}$ of area $\frac{1}{2K}$, the sublevel set $\{x + y \leq u\}$ has area $\frac{u^2}{2}$ for $u \in [0, 1/K]$ (giving $G = K u^2$) and complement area $\frac{(1 - u)^2}{2(K - 1)}$ for $u \in [1/K, 1]$ (giving $1 - G = \frac{K}{K - 1}(1 - u)^2$). Accounting for the lattice boundary shift of at most $2$ yields $(r+s)_{(k)} \geq R u_{r+s}(G_k) - 2$. $\square$

In any non-zero Leibniz product $\prod_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}} V_C^{\text{HS}}\big((r_k, s_k), (i_{\pi(k)}, j_{\pi(k)})\big)$, every factor has $\binom{r_k}{j_{\pi(k)}} \neq 0$, which forces $j_{\pi(k)} \leq r_k$. By the concavity of $\log(x)$, the falling factorial satisfies $\sum_{t=0}^{j-1} \log\big(\frac{r - t}{R}\big) \leq \int_0^j \log\big(\frac{r + 1 - t}{R}\big)\,dt = R\big[r_u \log r_u - (r_u - j_u)\log(r_u - j_u) - j_u\big]$, where $r_u := \min\big(1, \frac{r+1}{R}\big)$ and $j_u := \frac{j}{R} \in [0, r_u]$. On the $p$-adic side, because $K_{\text{drop}} = 0$, each column $(i, j) \in C$ pays $\sum_{p \leq J} \lfloor j/p\rfloor \log p$. Combining this with $-\log(j!)$ via Legendre's formula $j! = \prod_{p \leq j} p^{\sum_{\ell \geq 1} \lfloor j/p^\ell\rfloor}$ cancels the entire first-power prime sum $\sum_{p \leq j} \lfloor j/p\rfloor \log p$ identically for all primes $p \geq 2$, leaving only higher prime powers $\ell \geq 2$. Since $-\lfloor j/p^\ell\rfloor \log p \leq 0$ for every prime power $p^\ell > Q_0 := 1000$ and every $j \geq 0$, truncating the higher prime-power sum to the fixed finite set of $25$ prime powers $q = p^\ell \leq Q_0 = 1000$ ($p \geq 2, \ell \geq 2$) gives an unconditional upper bound for all $J \geq 1000$ with zero newly entering prime powers as $J \to \infty$:

$$ -\log(j!) + \sum_{p \leq J} \left\lfloor \frac{j}{p} \right\rfloor \log p \leq -\sum_{\substack{p \geq 2, \, \ell \geq 2 \\ p^\ell \leq Q_0}} \left\lfloor \frac{j}{p^\ell} \right\rfloor \log p = -j \sum_{\substack{p \geq 2, \, \ell \geq 2 \\ p^\ell \leq Q_0}} \frac{\log p}{p^\ell} + \sum_{\substack{p \geq 2, \, \ell \geq 2 \\ p^\ell \leq Q_0}} \frac{j \bmod p^\ell}{p^\ell}\log p. $$

Thus each column $(i, j) \in C$ has effective derivative slope $\text{slope}_j := \log(R/\rho_n) - \sum_{p \geq 2, \ell \geq 2, p^\ell \leq Q_0} \frac{\log p}{p^\ell}$. For each of the $25$ prime powers $q = p^\ell \leq Q_0 = 1000$ ($p \geq 2, \ell \geq 2$), each remainder $r \in \{0, \ldots, q-1\}$ occurs at most $c_{\text{bin}}(q) := n \lceil J/q\rceil$ times in $\{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$. Filling the largest remainders $q-1, q-2, \ldots$ up to total capacity $M_{\text{tri}}$ uses $b_{\text{full}}(q) := \min(q, \lfloor M_{\text{tri}}/c_{\text{bin}}(q)\rfloor)$ full remainder classes and residual $r_{\text{rem}}(q) := M_{\text{tri}} - b_{\text{full}}(q)c_{\text{bin}}(q)$, yielding the explicit constant overhead (without any artificial $1/2$ cap)

$$ \text{const}_j := 2\sum_{\substack{p \geq 2, \, \ell \geq 2 \\ q = p^\ell \leq Q_0}} \frac{c_{\text{bin}}(q)\big(b_{\text{full}}(q)(q - 1) - \binom{b_{\text{full}}(q)}{2}\big) + r_{\text{rem}}(q)\max(0, q - 1 - b_{\text{full}}(q))}{M_{\text{tri}}\, q}\log p. $$

To bound the linear derivative orders $j\,\text{slope}_j$, falling factorials $R f(r_u, j/R)$, and radial factors $(r+s-j)_+\log(\rho_n/\rho_i)$ jointly across all column selections $C \subset \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$ of size $M_{\text{tri}} = \theta n J$: let $c_i := \#\{j : (i, j) \in C\} \in \{0, \ldots, J\}$ and let $0 \leq j_{i,1} < \cdots < j_{i,c_i} \leq J-1$ be the chosen orders at $P_i$, so $j_{i,c_i+1-m} \leq J - m$ for $1 \leq m \leq c_i$. Let $j_{(1)} \leq \cdots \leq j_{(M_{\text{tri}})}$ be the non-decreasing rearrangement of $\{j : (i, j) \in C\}$ and let $j_{\text{top},(1)} \leq \cdots \leq j_{\text{top},(M_{\text{tri}})}$ be the non-decreasing rearrangement of the top-order multiset $\mathcal{J}_{\text{top}}(c) := \{J - m : 1 \leq i \leq n, 1 \leq m \leq c_i\}$. For every $k \in \{1, \ldots, M_{\text{tri}}\}$, at least $M_{\text{tri}} - k + 1$ elements of $\mathcal{J}_{\text{top}}(c)$ lie in $[j_{\text{top},(k)}, J-1]$ while each $P_i$ contributes at most $J - j_{\text{top},(k)}$ such elements, so $M_{\text{tri}} - k + 1 \leq n(J - j_{\text{top},(k)})$ and hence

$$ 0 \leq j_{(k)} \leq j_{\text{top},(k)} \leq J - \frac{M_{\text{tri}} - k + 1}{n} < j_{\text{unif}}(u_k) := J - \frac{M_{\text{tri}} - k}{n} = \big(1 - \theta(1 - G_k)\big)J = \big(1 - \theta(1 - u_k)^2\big)J. $$

Because $f(r_u, j_u) := r_u\log r_u - (r_u - j_u)\log(r_u - j_u) - j_u \leq 0$ has positive mixed partial $\frac{\partial^2 f}{\partial r_u \partial j_u} = \frac{1}{r_u - j_u} > 0$ and is increasing in $r_u \leq r_u(u_k) := \min(1, (1 + \frac{1}{S})u_k + \frac{1}{R})$, Hardy–Littlewood–Lorentz rearrangement gives $\sum_{(i,j)\in C}\big[j\,\text{slope}_j + R f(\frac{r_{\pi^{-1}(i,j)}+1}{R}, \frac{j}{R})\big] \leq \sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}} g_{\max}\big(r_u(u_k), j_{\text{top},(k)}\big)$, where $g_{\max}(r_u, x) := \max_{0 \leq \tilde{x} \leq \min(R r_u, x)}\big[\tilde{x}\,\text{slope}_j + R f(r_u, \tilde{x}/R)\big]$ is concave and non-decreasing in $x \geq 0$ with derivative $\frac{\partial g_{\max}}{\partial x}(r_u, x) = \big(\text{slope}_j + \log(r_u - x/R)\big)_+ \geq 0$. Evaluating at the uniform envelope $j_{\text{unif}}(u_k)$ on $M_{\text{steps}}$ equal $u$-bins $[u_m, u_{m+1}]$ ($u_m := m / M_{\text{steps}}$) defines the uniform falling-factorial saving

$$ \text{save}_{\text{deriv}} := 3\sum_{m=0}^{M_{\text{steps}}-1} \max\left(0, \; \frac{2(1 - u_{m+1})}{M_{\text{steps}}} - \frac{1}{M_{\text{tri}}}\right)\big(j_{\text{low},m}\text{slope}_j - g_{\max,m}\big)_+, $$

where $j_{\text{low},m} := \max\big(0, \frac{(1 - \theta(1 - u_m)^2)J - 1}{R}\big)$, $r_{u,m} := \min\big(1, (1 + \frac{1}{S})u_{m+1} + \frac{1}{R}\big)$, $j^*_m := \max\big(0, \min(j_{\text{low},m}, r_{u,m} - e^{-\text{slope}_j})\big)$, and $g_{\max,m} := \max(0, j^*_m\text{slope}_j + f(r_{u,m}, j^*_m))$ for $j^*_m > 0$ ($0$ otherwise).

5.2 Joint Concavity-Ramp Coupling and Convex Variational Duality for Column Selection $C$

Lemma 5.2 (Joint Concavity-Ramp Variational Duality for Column Selection $C$). Choose $n$ as an exact integer multiple of $M_{\text{steps}}$ ($m_{\text{bin}} := n / M_{\text{steps}} \in \mathbb{Z}$), let $C \subset \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$ have cardinality $|C| = M_{\text{tri}} = \theta n J$, and set $m_1 := \lfloor \frac{7}{20}J\rfloor$ (or $\lceil \frac{7}{20}J\rceil$ on the infinite tail), $\tau_1 := m_1 / J$, $G_1 := 1 - \frac{n m_1}{M_{\text{tri}}} > \frac{1}{4}$, and $\nu_1 := \big(\text{slope}_j + \log(1 - \sqrt{1 - G_1} - (1 - \tau_1)\frac{J}{R})\big)_+$. Then:

1. For every $k \in \{1, \ldots, M_{\text{tri}}\}$, concavity of $x \mapsto g_{\max}(r_u(u_k), x)$ on $[j_{\text{top},(k)}, j_{\text{unif}}(u_k)]$ and monotonicity of $G \mapsto 1 - \sqrt{1 - G} - (1 - \theta(1 - G))\frac{J}{R}$ imply $\frac{\partial g_{\max}}{\partial x}(r_u(u_k), x) \geq \nu_1 \mathbf{1}_{x \geq J - m_1}$ on $[j_{\text{top},(k)}, j_{\text{unif}}(u_k)]$, and hence$$ g_{\max}\big(r_u(u_k), j_{\text{top},(k)}\big) \leq g_{\max}\big(r_u(u_k), j_{\text{unif}}(u_k)\big) - \nu_1\Big[\big(j_{\text{unif}}(u_k) - (J - m_1)\big)_+ - \big(j_{\text{top},(k)} - (J - m_1)\big)_+\Big]. $$Summing over $k = 1, \ldots, M_{\text{tri}}$ using $\sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}} j_{\text{unif}}(u_k) = M_{\text{tri}} J(1 - \frac{1}{2}\theta) + \frac{1}{2}\theta J$ and the exact multiset identity $\sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}}\big[\big(j_{\text{unif}}(u_k) - (J - m_1)\big)_+ - \big(j_{\text{top},(k)} - (J - m_1)\big)_+\big] = \frac{(n+1)m_1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+(m_1 - c_i - 1) \geq \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+^2$, while on the radial term replacing $(r + s - j)_+$ by $(r + s - J)_+ + (J - j) - (J - r - s)_+$ with $J - j_{i,c_i+1-m} \geq m$ recovers $+\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n c_i^2 \log(\rho_n/\rho_{\max(i,i_0)}) - L_{b_0}\Delta_0\frac{W_{\text{main}}}{2}$ ($b_0 := \lfloor 0.18 M_{\text{steps}}\rfloor$, $\Delta_0 := 6(\frac{1}{2}u_{0,r}^2 - \frac{1}{6}u_{0,r}^3)$, $u_{0,r} := \frac{J+1}{R}$).
2. Partition $\{1, \ldots, n\}$ into $M_{\text{steps}}$ equal integer blocks $I_b := \{b m_{\text{bin}} + 1, \ldots, (b+1)m_{\text{bin}}\}$ ($0 \leq b < M_{\text{steps}}$) of exact cardinality $|I_b| = m_{\text{bin}}$, with bin density $w_b := \frac{1}{m_{\text{bin}} J}\sum_{i \in I_b} c_i \in [0, 1]$, cumulative quantile $G_b(w) := \frac{1}{\theta M_{\text{steps}}}\sum_{a=0}^b w_a \in [0, 1]$, and right-endpoint radial bound $L_b := \log\big(\frac{\rho_n}{\sqrt{\min(1, \frac{b+1}{M_{\text{steps}}} + \frac{1}{n})}\text{base\_rad} + \delta_D}\big)$ ($L_{M_{\text{steps}}} := 0$). Exact Cauchy–Schwarz $\sum_{i \in I_b} c_i^2 \geq m_{\text{bin}} J^2 w_b^2$ and $\sum_{i \in I_b} (m_1 - c_i)_+^2 \geq m_{\text{bin}} J^2 (\tau_1 - w_b)_+^2$ on each block $I_b$ and summation by parts along $b$ yield, with zero bin-discretization error:$$ \frac{2}{W_{\text{main}}}\sum_{(i,j)\in C}\left[j\,\text{slope}_j + R f\!\left(\frac{r_{\pi^{-1}(i,j)}+1}{R}, \frac{j}{R}\right)\right] - \frac{2}{W_{\text{main}}}\sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}} \big(r_k + s_k - j_{\pi(k)}\big)_+ \log\!\left(\frac{\rho_n}{\rho_{i_{\pi(k)}}}\right) \leq \gamma_{\text{unif}}\text{slope}_j - \mathcal{F}(w) - \text{save}_{\text{deriv}} + \frac{6}{R}, $$where $\gamma_{\text{unif}} := \frac{2}{W_{\text{main}}}\big(M_{\text{tri}} J(1 - \frac{1}{2}\theta) + \frac{1}{2}\theta J\big)$ and $\mathcal{F}(w) := \sum_{b=0}^{M_{\text{steps}}-1} (L_b - L_{b+1})\Phi_{\max}\big(G_b(w)\big) + \frac{1}{M_{\text{steps}}}\sum_{b=0}^{M_{\text{steps}}-1} \frac{3(J/R)}{2\theta}\big[L_{\max(b,b_0)} w_b^2 + \nu_1(\tau_1 - w_b)_+^2\big] - L_{b_0}\Delta_0$ is a convex functional on the simplex $\mathcal{P} := \{w \in [0, 1]^{M_{\text{steps}}} : \sum_{b=0}^{M_{\text{steps}}-1} w_b = \theta M_{\text{steps}}\}$.
3. Because $\frac{\partial G_b(w)}{\partial w_a} = \frac{1}{\theta M_{\text{steps}}}\mathbf{1}_{a \leq b}$ and $\frac{1}{2}(\tau_1 - v_a)_+^2 \geq \frac{1}{2}(\tau_1 - w^*_a)_+^2 - (\tau_1 - w^*_a)_+(v_a - w^*_a)$, fixing a branch $\sigma_b \in \{\text{joint}, \text{split}\}$ at each bin $b$ gives the exact supporting-hyperplane subgradient at any rational witness $w^*_a = k_a / D_{\text{den}} \in \mathcal{P}$ ($\sum_a k_a = N_{\text{num}} = \theta M_{\text{steps}} D_{\text{den}}$):$$ (\nabla\mathcal{F}(w^*))_a = \frac{1}{M_{\text{steps}}}\left[\sum_{b=a}^{M_{\text{steps}}-1} \frac{(L_b - L_{b+1}) B_{\sigma_b}\big(G_b(w^*)\big)}{\theta} + \frac{3(J/R)}{\theta}\Big(L_{\max(a,b_0)} w^*_a - \nu_1(\tau_1 - w^*_a)_+\Big)\right], $$and hence $\min_{w \in \mathcal{P}} \mathcal{F}(w) \geq \mathcal{F}_{\text{lb}}(w^*) := \mathcal{F}_{\sigma}(w^*) - \max_{v \in \mathcal{P}} \langle \nabla\mathcal{F}(w^*), w^* - v\rangle - \frac{6}{R}$, where $\max_{v \in \mathcal{P}} \langle \nabla\mathcal{F}(w^*), w^* - v\rangle$ is solved in closed form by greedily filling $v_{\min,a} = m_a / D_{\text{den}} \in [0, 1]$ ($\sum_a m_a = N_{\text{num}}$) in non-decreasing order of $(\nabla\mathcal{F}(w^*))_a$.

Proof. In Part (1), for $s = M_{\text{tri}} - k \in \{0, \ldots, n m_1 - 1\}$, $\sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}}(j_{\text{unif}}(u_k) - (J - m_1))_+ = \sum_{s=0}^{n m_1 - 1}(m_1 - s/n) = \frac{n m_1^2 + m_1}{2}$, while $\sum_{k=1}^{M_{\text{tri}}}(j_{\text{top},(k)} - (J - m_1))_+ = \sum_{i=1}^n \sum_{m=1}^{c_i}(m_1 - m)_+ = \frac{n m_1(m_1 - 1)}{2} - \frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+(m_1 - c_i - 1)$; subtracting and using $\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+ \leq n m_1$ gives $\frac{1}{2}\sum_{i=1}^n (m_1 - c_i)_+^2$. Parts (2) and (3) follow by blockwise Cauchy–Schwarz, summation by parts, and supporting-hyperplane convexity of $\Phi_{\sigma_b}$, $w_b^2$, and $(\tau_1 - w_b)_+^2$ on $\mathcal{P}$. $\square$

6. Proof of Theorem 1.1, Progressive Ablation, and Certified Finite Sieve

6.1 Complete Assembly, Analytical Infinite-Tail Proof, and Contiguous Interval Certification

Suppose $-D < -163$ is a fundamental discriminant with $h(-D) = 1$, and fix $(c_R, K, \varepsilon_J, K_{\text{drop}}) = (2.3, 31, 0.058, 0)$. For any integer parameters $S \geq 10$, $R = KS$, $J = \lfloor \varepsilon_J R\rfloor$, prime cutoff $P_{\max} \leq X := \frac{D-3}{4}$, and $n$ satisfying Lemma 3.3, there exists $C \subset \{1, \ldots, n\} \times \{0, \ldots, J-1\}$ of size $M_{\text{tri}}$ with $\det V_C^{\text{HS}} \in \mathcal{O}_K \setminus \{0\}$. Comparing the $p$-adic valuation of $N_{K/\mathbb{Q}}(\det V_C^{\text{HS}}) = |\det V_C^{\text{HS}}|^2 \geq 1$ across all primes $p \leq P_{\max}$ (all inert in $\mathcal{O}_K$ by Lemma 2.1) against the Leibniz upper bound yields $L_{\text{padic}}(D) \leq U_{\text{arch}}(D)$, where:

$$ \begin{aligned} \frac{L_{\text{padic}}(D)}{W_{\text{main}}} &:= \sum_{2 \leq p < K} w_{\text{keep}}(p)\log p + \sum_{\substack{K \leq p \leq \sqrt{S} \\ \ell \geq 1, \, p^{2\ell} \leq S}} \frac{2K\Sigma_{\text{tri}}(S, p^{2\ell})}{W_{\text{main}}}\log p + \left(1 + \frac{3K}{2R}\right)\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} \frac{\log p}{p} \\ &\quad - \frac{3(R + K)}{2R^2}\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} \log p + \sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} \left(\frac{p}{2R^2} - \frac{p^2}{12\sqrt{3}R^3}\right)\log p, \\ \frac{U_{\text{arch}}(D)}{W_{\text{main}}} &:= \frac{W_1 + W_2}{W_{\text{main}}}\log \rho_n + \gamma_{\text{unif}}\text{slope}_j - \mathcal{F}_{\text{lb}}(w^*) - \text{save}_{\text{deriv}} + \frac{M_{\text{tri}}\text{const}_j + 2M_{\text{tri}}\log M_{\text{tri}}}{W_{\text{main}}}. \end{aligned} $$

Prime-Sum Derivations from Rosser–Schoenfeld [10]: For every $p \leq P_{\max}$, $p^2\log p \leq P_{\max} p\log p$, so $\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}}\left(\frac{p}{2R^2} - \frac{p^2}{12\sqrt{3}R^3}\right)\log p \geq \left(\frac{1}{2R^2} - \frac{P_{\max}}{12\sqrt{3}R^3}\right)\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} p\log p$. We bound the three prime sums over $[K, P_{\max}]$ using only Rosser and Schoenfeld [10]:

1. By [10, Theorem 6, p. 70], $\sum_{p \leq x}\frac{\log p}{p} > \log x + E - \frac{1}{2\log x}$ for all $x > 1$, where $E = -\gamma - \sum_p \frac{\log p}{p(p-1)} = -1.33258227573\ldots$.
2. By [10, Theorem 4, p. 69], $x\left(1 - \frac{1}{2\log x}\right) < \vartheta(x) < x\left(1 + \frac{1}{2\log x}\right)$ for all $x \geq 563$, and by [10, Theorem 18, p. 72], $\vartheta(x) < x$ for all $0 < x \leq 10^8$.
3. By Abel summation, $\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} p\log p = P_{\max}\vartheta(P_{\max}) - K\vartheta(K-1) - \int_K^{P_{\max}}\vartheta(t)\,dt$. On $P_{\max} \in [563, 10^8]$, substituting $\vartheta(P_{\max}) > P_{\max}\left(1 - \frac{1}{2\log P_{\max}}\right)$ and $\vartheta(t) < t$ (from [10, Theorems 4 and 18]) gives $\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} p\log p > \frac{1}{2}P_{\max}^2\left(1 - \frac{1}{\log P_{\max}}\right) - K^2$. On the unbounded range $P_{\max} \geq 563$, using only [10, Theorem 4] and the elementary derivative $\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{t^2}{2\log t} + \frac{t^2}{3(\log t)^2}\right) = \frac{t}{\log t} + \frac{t(\log t - 4)}{6(\log t)^3} \geq \frac{t}{\log t}$ for $t \geq e^4 \approx 54.6$ yields $\int_{563}^{P_{\max}}\frac{t}{2\log t}\,dt \leq \frac{P_{\max}^2}{4\log P_{\max}} + \frac{P_{\max}^2}{6(\log P_{\max})^2}$ and hence $\sum_{K \leq p \leq P_{\max}} p\log p > \frac{1}{2}P_{\max}^2\left(1 - \frac{3}{2\log P_{\max}} - \frac{1}{3(\log P_{\max})^2}\right) - 160,000$ for all $P_{\max} \geq 563$.

To prove $L_{\text{padic}}(D) > U_{\text{arch}}(D)$ for all integers $D \geq B$ without discrete grid-sampling gaps or floating-point rounding ambiguity, we combine a single-shot analytical infinite-tail bound with contiguous constant-parameter interval certification ($M_{\text{steps}} = 800$), propagating self-certifying directed-rounding interval enclosures (FInterval via IEEE-754 math.nextafter and 26-digit decimal.Decimal ROUND_FLOOR/ROUND_CEILING DInterval, where integer floor sums use exact Python integer arithmetic, square roots are verified by directed-rounded multiplication $s^2 \leq x_{\text{lo}}$ and $t^2 \geq x_{\text{hi}}$, and logarithms and exponentials are enclosed from $\log(1) = 0$ via rational artanh and Taylor series using only $+, -, \times, \div$):

• Step 1: Single-Shot Analytical Infinite-Tail Proof for All $D \in [6,800,000, \, \infty)$. For all $D \geq D_{\text{tail}} := 6,800,000$ ($X = \frac{D-3}{4} \geq X_{\text{lo}} = 1,699,999.25$), setting $S = \lfloor c_R X/K\rfloor \geq S_{\text{lo}} = 126,128$ and $P_{\max} = X$ gives $R/X \in [c_R^{\text{lo}}, c_R] = [2.299981, 2.3]$, $J/R \in [\varepsilon_J^{\text{lo}}, \varepsilon_J] = [0.0579997, 0.058]$, $n/(RS/J) \in [\gamma_n^{\text{lo}}, \gamma_n^{\text{hi}}] = [1.058000, 1.060461]$ (with $M_{\text{steps}} \mid n$), and $\theta = \frac{M_{\text{tri}}}{nJ} \in [\theta_{\text{lo}}, \theta_{\text{hi}}] = [0.471644, 0.472592]$. Writing $\log \rho_n = \frac{3}{4}\log X + C_\rho(D)$ where $C_\rho(D) = \frac{1}{2}\log\big(\frac{(n/X)\sqrt{1+3/(4X)}}{\pi}\big) + \log(1 + \eta_D) \in [C_\rho^{\text{lo}}, C_\rho^{\text{hi}}]$ and $\eta_D = \frac{\delta_D}{\text{base\_rad}} \in (0, \eta_{\text{hi}}]$, and rescaling the variational weights in Lemma 5.2 by $\tilde{w}_b := \frac{\theta_{\text{lo}}}{\theta(D)}w_b \in \mathcal{P}(\theta_{\text{lo}})$ with $\tilde{\tau}_1 := \frac{\theta_{\text{lo}}}{\theta_{\text{hi}}}\frac{7}{20}$ (which preserves $G_b(\tilde{w}) = G_b(w)$ and satisfies $\mathcal{F}_D(w) \geq \mathcal{F}_{\text{lo}}(\tilde{w})$ pointwise for all $\theta(D) \in [\theta_{\text{lo}}, \theta_{\text{hi}}]$), the $\log(X/X_{\text{lo}}) \geq 0$ terms combine with positive net coefficient $1 - \frac{3}{4}\frac{W_1+W_2}{W_{\text{main}}} - \frac{3}{4}\gamma_{\text{unif}}^{\text{ub}} \geq +0.126071 > 0$, while evaluating the remaining bounded terms at their worst-case endpoints on $[6,800,000, \infty)$ using only [10, Theorems 4 and 6] yields the 26-digit directed-rounded enclosure $\frac{L_{\text{padic}}(D) - U_{\text{arch}}(D)}{W_{\text{main}}} \in [+0.001263078413511790, \, +0.001263088475433219] > 0$ for all $D \geq 6,800,000$.
• Step 2: Contiguous Constant-Parameter Interval Certification on $[B_{\text{RS}}, \, 6,800,000]$ and $[B_{\text{prime}}, \, B_{\text{RS}}]$. On any finite interval $[D_{\text{lo}}, D_{\text{hi}}]$, we hold the integer parameters $P_{\max} := \lfloor(D_{\text{lo}}-3)/4\rfloor$, $S := \lfloor c_R P_{\max}/K\rfloor$, $R := KS$, $J := \lfloor \varepsilon_J R\rfloor$, and $n = M_{\text{steps}}\lceil n_{\text{req}}/M_{\text{steps}}\rceil$ (chosen via $M_y^{\text{hi}} = 2\lfloor 2\rho_n(D_{\text{hi}})/\sqrt{D_{\text{lo}}}\rfloor + 1$ and $M_x^{\text{hi}} = \lfloor 2\rho_n(D_{\text{hi}})\rfloor + 1$ so Lemma 3.3 holds across $[D_{\text{lo}}, D_{\text{hi}}]$) constant. Because $S, R, J, P_{\max}, n, \theta$ are constant on $[D_{\text{lo}}, D_{\text{hi}}]$, $L_{\text{padic}}$ is constant on $[D_{\text{lo}}, D_{\text{hi}}]$ and $U_{\text{arch}}(D)$ depends on $D$ only through the monotone functions $\rho_n(D) \in [\rho_n(D_{\text{lo}}), \rho_n(D_{\text{hi}})]$ and $\eta_D \in [\eta(D_{\text{hi}}), \eta(D_{\text{lo}})]$. Covering $[6,224,051, \, 6,800,000]$ by $33$ contiguous constant-parameter intervals under Rosser–Schoenfeld [10, Theorems 4, 6, and 18] certifies $L_{\text{padic}} > U_{\text{arch}}(D)$ across the entire range with minimum directed-rounded gap $+2.073482 \times 10^{-4} > 0$, establishing $D \leq B_{\text{RS}} = 6,224,051$ ($\log B_{\text{RS}} \approx 15.643932$). Covering $[5,084,707, \, 6,224,051]$ by $39$ contiguous constant-parameter intervals using exact prime sums over $p \leq P_{\max}$ certifies $L_{\text{padic}} > U_{\text{arch}}(D)$ down to $B_{\text{prime}} = 5,084,707$ ($\log B_{\text{prime}} \approx 15.441748$, $X = 1,271,176$) with minimum directed-rounded gap $+2.036746 \times 10^{-4} > 0$. Table 1 lists the complete component-by-component certificate values for the infinite tail and the two bottom boundary intervals.

6.3 Certified Finite Elimination of All Candidates $163 < D \leq 6,800,000$

To complete the self-contained classification of class-number-one imaginary quadratic fields without invoking Heegner, Baker, or Stark, we eliminate every integer $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ in the interval $163 < D \leq 6,800,000$ (covering $B_{\text{prime}} = 5,084,707$, $B_{\text{RS}} = 6,224,051$, and the infinite-tail start $D_{\text{tail}} = 6,800,000$). By Lemma 2.1, if $h(-D) = 1$, then every odd prime $p < \frac{D+1}{4}$ must satisfy $\left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) = -1$. In Part 3 of src/verify_jet_disk.py, we iterate directly over all $849,979$ integers $D \equiv 3 \pmod{8}$ in $(163, 6,800,000]$ and exhibit for each $D$ the smallest odd prime $p \geq 3$ such that $-D \bmod p$ is a square modulo $p$ (so either $p \mid D$ or $\left(\frac{-D}{p}\right) = +1$). The entire verification completes in $0.23\text{ seconds}$ on a single CPU thread and confirms that every candidate $163 < D \leq 6,800,000$ is eliminated by an odd prime $p \leq 61 < 43 = \frac{171+1}{4} \leq \frac{D+1}{4}$ (the unique candidate in $(163, 6,800,000]$ requiring $p = 61$ is $D = 2,404,147$, for which $-2,404,147 \equiv 25 = 5^2 \pmod{61}$). This completes the proof of Theorem 1.1. $\square$

7. Scope, Limitations, and Reproducibility

7.1 Scope and Open Directions

Our method exploits the full inertness of primes $p \leq \frac{D-3}{4}$ specific to $h(-D) = 1$, which allows the Minkowski-balanced Euclidean disk $E_{\rho_n} \subset \mathcal{O}_K$ ($\alpha + \beta = 3/4 < 1$) to achieve a contradiction at $X = \frac{D-3}{4}$ without analytic $L$-function estimates. Even when all continuous Mertens and Chebyshev error terms on the bounded transition range are removed by direct prime-sum evaluation, the pure inert-prime Vandermonde determinant inequality $L_{\text{padic}}(D) > U_{\text{arch}}(D)$ crosses zero at $B_{\text{prime}} = 5,084,707$ ($\log B_{\text{prime}} \approx 15.442$), where the asymptotic slope $+\frac{1}{4}\log D$ overcomes the fixed Mertens and Stirling constants. Extending this triangular biconjugate jet framework by combining it with split-prime ideal norm counting above $X = \frac{D+1}{4}$ as in [13, 14] is a natural next direction.

7.2 Reproducibility and Supplement Manifest
