Graham, *An asymptotic estimate related to Selberg's sieve*,\nJ. Number Theory **10** (1978) 83–94. DOI `10.1016/0022-314X(78)90043-3` (paywalled).\nOpen copy: Deep Blue (Michigan), item `4e48e4d5-b06c-4218-99ac-b71b875854dd`.\n\n## 0. The retrieval problem, and why the obvious file must not be used\n\nDeep Blue serves three bitstreams on that item. One is the paper as a scan\n(`10570613-6769-4188-9c57-b21e872aba2b`, 396 586 bytes), one is an OCR text layer\n(`0ed0e5d0-bc76-40ba-a41b-77066cf6cb27`, 10 920 bytes), one is the 2006 deposit licence —\n**not** the paper.\n\nThe OCR layer is **not evidence**. The PDF has no fonts: the page is 18 one-bit TIFF strips\nplaced by explicit `cm` matrices, with invisible OCR text on top. That text renders\n\n- \"Academic Press, Inc.\" as **\"Academic Pray, Inc.\"**\n- the Theorem's main term `N log z₁` as **\"N 1% 21\"**\n- the Corollary's `N/log(z₂/z₁)` as **\"log&z2,)\"**\n- and it drops **every displayed equation**: the Theorem's formula, both cases of the\n  Corollary, and display (5) entirely.\n\nDisplays are exactly where the content is. So all statements below were read from the\n**page raster**, rebuilt by stacking the 18 strips in placement order (1706 × 2705 px).\n\n## 1. What the paper says (raster, p. 83–84)\n\nAbstract (p. 83): *\"Suppose 1 < z₁ < z₂ ⩽ N, and let Λ_i(d) = μ(d) max(log(z_i/d), 0) for\ni = 1, 2. We show that\"*\n\n    Σ_{1≤n≤N} ( Σ_{d|n} Λ₁(d) )( Σ_{e|n} Λ₂(e) )  =  N log z₁ + O(N).\n\n**THEOREM** (p. 84): *Let 1 ⩽ z₁ ⩽ z₂ ⩽ N. Then* — the same identity, main term **N log z₁**.\n*\"The supposition z₂ ⩽ N occasions no real loss of generality, since the value of\nΣ_{d|n} Λ_i(d) is independent of z_i when 1 < n ⩽ z_i.\"*\n\n**Display (5)**, attributed to Barban–Vehov:\n`Σ_{1≤n≤N} (Σ_{d|n} λ_d)² ⩽ N / log(z₂/z₁)` — an **upper bound**, no main term.\n\n**COROLLARY** (p. 84): *Suppose 1 ⩽ z₁ < z₂.*\n- If **z₂ ⩽ N**: `Σ_{1≤n≤N} (Σ_{d|n} λ_d)² = N/log(z₂/z₁) + O( N/log²(z₂/z₁) )`.\n- If **z₁ < N < z₂**: `Σ_{1≤n≤N} (Σ_{d|n} λ_d)² = N log(N/z₁)/log²(z₂/z₁) + O( N/log²(z₂/z₁) )`.\n\nThe two hypotheses were read at **4×**: both are `z₂ ⩽ N` with a single subscript — **not**\n`z₁z₂ ⩽ N`. The weight is Graham's (4), `λ_d = (Λ₂(d) − Λ₁(d))/log(z₂/z₁)`, i.e. Selberg's\nm(d) = min(1, log(z₂/d)/log(z₂/z₁))⁺.\n\n## 2. Why the reading is not a guess: the Corollary forces the main term\n\nThis is the check that makes §1 evidence rather than impression. With `L = log(z₂/z₁)`,\n\n    Σ(Σλ_d)² = L⁻² [ Σ(ΣΛ₂)² + Σ(ΣΛ₁)² − 2Σ(ΣΛ₁)(ΣΛ₂) ].\n\nApply the Theorem three times (permissible since z₁ ⩽ z₂ ⩽ N):\n`Σ(ΣΛ₂)² = N log z₂ + O(N)`, `Σ(ΣΛ₁)² = N log z₁ + O(N)`, `Σ(ΣΛ₁)(ΣΛ₂) = N log z₁ + O(N)`.\nNumerator `= N(log z₂ − log z₁) = NL`, and `NL/L² = N/L` — **exactly** the printed Corollary.\n\nThe alternatives fail:\n- main term `N log z₂` ⇒ numerator `N(log z₁ − log z₂) = −NL` ⇒ `Σ(Σλ_d)² = −N/L` **< 0**;\n- main term `N log(z₂/z₁)` ⇒ numerator `−2NL` ⇒ `−2N/L` < 0.\n\nA sum of squares cannot be negative, so the glyph `z₁` in the Theorem is **forced** by the\nCorollary printed four lines below it. (This also corrects an earlier claim of mine, made\nfrom the OCR, that the Theorem's main term was `N log(z₂/z₁)`.)\n\n## 3. Comparison with An, arXiv:2206.10104v1, eq. (1.1) — from his LaTeX source\n\nAn's abstract: *\"Suppose {λ_d} are Selberg's sieve weights and 1 ⩽ w < y ⩽ x. Graham's\nestimate on the Barban-Vehov problem shows that\"*\n\n    Σ_{1≤n≤x} (Σ_{d|n} λ_d)² = x/log(y/w) + O( x/log²(y/w) ).        (1.1)\n\nand in §1: *\"our x,w,y correspond to Graham's N,z₁,z₂.\"*\n\n**Verdict: (1.1) is a faithful verbatim quotation of Graham's Corollary, case z₂ ⩽ N.**\nMain term, error term and range all agree — because An's `y ⩽ x` **is** Graham's `z₂ ⩽ N`,\nand An himself declares the variable correspondence. The dependency can therefore be\n**removed**: the primary was read directly and it confirms him.\n\nThree things the corpus must not lose in the swap:\n\n1. **(1.1) is the Corollary, not the Theorem.** Graham's two-parameter object — two\n   *different* weights, `Σ(ΣΛ₁(d))(ΣΛ₂(e)) = N log z₁ + O(N)` — is the **THEOREM**, and An\n   never quotes it. A corpus line that attributes the bilinear/two-sequence statement to\n   An's (1.1) is attributing it to the wrong statement.\n2. **(1.1) lives only in `z₂ ⩽ N`.** Outside it the Corollary gives\n   `N log(N/z₁)/log²(z₂/z₁)` — a different main term. Silent use of the identity for\n   `z₂ > N` crosses a case boundary that the printed Corollary marks explicitly.\n3. **Display (5) is an upper bound** (`⩽ N/log(z₂/z₁)`), and An's LaTeX has that display\n   **commented out** — his source states it only in prose. Do not cite An for (5).\n\n## 4. Evidence on disk\n\n- `work/graham-page.py` — rebuilds a page raster from the strips (page index → PNG);\n  prints the band map used to locate blocks (map only, never evidence).\n- `work/graham-p83.png`, `work/graham-p84.png` — rebuilt rasters (1696 × 2699, 1706 × 2705).\n- `work/graham-crops.py` / `graham-zooms2.py` / `graham-zooms3.py` — the crop HTML actually\n  read, incl. the 4× and 5× glyph-critical boxes.\n- `work/graham-p84.html`, `graham-zooms2.html`, `graham-zooms3.html` — self-contained\n  (base64), also visible in this thread's Preview tab.\n\n**Method note (reusable):** an image-only primary can be read without trusting any OCR by\n(i) rebuilding the page raster from the PDF's own strip images, (ii) computing where the\ntarget block sits, (iii) rendering a zoom crop as local HTML and reading it as an image.\nThe corpus has now hit OCR-only primaries more than once; this removes the class.\n\n## 5. Second finding: a SERVED document carries the range defect\n\n`research/transition-energy-review.md`, row **A9**, checked-hypotheses column, states the\nimport's range as\n\n> `Graham range 1<=a<b<=N; L>=1; N>=z_1`\n\nand its decisive-calculation column then claims: *\"his (1.1) hypothesis 1<=w<y<=x is\nexactly 1<=a<b<=N\"*.\n\nThe equivalence is false, and it is false in the direction that matters. An's hypothesis is\n`1 <= w < y <= x`, which with `a=w, b=y` is `1 <= a < b <= N` **plus `b <= N`** — equivalent\nto Graham's `z_2 <= N`, the Corollary's case-1 boundary. A hypothesis set that drops\n`z_2 <= N` is strictly weaker than the import it describes, and the printed Corollary\nsupplies a *different* main term in the remaining case (`z_1 < N < z_2`, where the value is\n`N log(N/z_1)/log^2(z_2/z_1) + O(N/log^2(z_2/z_1))`). Row A9's own application may or may\nnot sit inside `z_2 <= N`, but the recorded hypothesis is not the import's, so the row cannot\nbe relied on as written.\n\n**Rung:** DERIVED-IN-CORPUS, from the printed Corollary (case 1 and case 2) and from An's\ndeclared weight and range. The defect is a hypothesis transcription, not an arithmetic error;\nno numeric claim of the review is contradicted.\n\n**Gap that remains:** whether the corpus's *uses* of A9 (coefficient-energy (10)-(14) into\n(17)-(18)) actually satisfy `z_2 <= N`. That is a separate read of those two notes and is not\ndone here.\n\n## 6. Deposit\n\n- **Return**: `audit` under job #2051 (attempt `b09d5c921b619a9c634171940db219be`), the\n  assignment's own clause *\"if it finds a served document wrong, an `audit` return with the\n  revised file\"*.\n- **Revision**: `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`, base `61601140…` (re-fetched from the server\n  this turn), revision sha in the spec, **+1/−0**, table 125 → 126 rows. It **supersedes all\n  three** prior rows on that same base (returns #1087, #1089, #1090), none of which is\n  integrated.\n- **`also_fix`**: `research/transition-energy-review.md` row A9 (≤1000 chars, per the\n  server's silent truncation found on return #917).\n- **Gate, as a delta on two private checkout copies** (`node research/qc.js`): **TOTAL\n  839 → 839**, every per-check finding count identical. `QUOTES` spans 257 → 258 (54 → 55\n  quoted-in-order-to-be-corrected). `SEARCH-CONVENTION`: absence phrases 98 → 99, of which\n  89 → 90 name an owning convention, `9 remain` unchanged; owning conventions parsed from §1\n  196 → 197. So the new row's absence clause clears and nothing else moves.\n- **Correction of the previous pass, on the record**: the row filed with #1090 (and its two\n  predecessors) says Graham's statement contains \"**no `Λ` in it**\" and treats his object as\n  `F` alone. In the primary, the THEOREM is a bilinear form in **two** weights `Λ_1`, `Λ_2` —\n  the two-sequence object the corpus is looking for exists in print, and the previous rows,\n  written from An's Corollary quotation, could not see it.\n\n**Not claimed:** no TPC exponent moves. An's (1.1) is confirmed faithful, which *removes* a\nstated dependency; it adds no new estimate. The assignment's own primary ask — a new finite\nstatistic with a pre-registered falsifier — is **not** addressed by this return.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.1,"hashes":{"5b3e4bdca2fd7a9dd92ce3cf4be510ebf6673842320a49f34c864793fe0be820":"report-graham-primary.md","8c93c7e8918592158eafee81cca78d7718ce47e259098034ca2779f7e32fb432":"graham-zooms3.py","9cb13df8986b971826133edfc056fae9e92945cab2f3a11404b9af6eb1b05a47":"make_rev_searchconv4.py","a2ce81480932769191b3a95d840160d08e1d5aa75cee16fe85bdc42b798aa7e7":"graham-page.py","adf2f2c00131493e0b310e3a483561f27bc68ea0cfade967d2a8cf86cd943516":"rev4-SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.diff","b4e47cfa3160cd58da9f9c6466c6269b7571684cbaf41cc38fa39ece4004bb4e":"graham-crops.py","bc7639925683d96a41b5f7ee2ce3b471bb209f7d6c03c6a90d3297d5a453a841":"rev4-SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md","c0dd5baa490f7f29090ca344403196078af97200c1ff395f0525d8f412f43266":"transcript-graham-primary.jsonl"},"author_rung":"verified","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-09-18T23:06:00.871Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md","research/transition-energy-review.md","research/corner-coefficient-energy.md","research/global-factor-signs.md"],"handles":["Benjaminsen"],"returns":[153,1087,1089,1090],"messages":[]},"tokens":{"log":"custom","input":253408,"models":{"deepseek-v4-flash":46786},"output":46786,"source":"custom-jsonl","entries":1,"cache_read":12590040,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":["deepseek-v4-flash"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":null,"target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":null,"effort":"max","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-09-18T23:34:33.740Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":null,"department_id":"dept_bd08e49ed9621cfd852f9b04","run_id":"run_dbafcb3afddae906ed1c3d4e","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"maxime-fleury","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.
