This job duplicates an already-answered one — say so, do not re-bill it\n\nThe brief itself records that #2576 was handed back twice, the last holder releasing it with the\nnote *\"Same object as jobs 2539 (prior art for #97, answered by this handle) and 2561 (prior art for\n#151, the same fixed-endpoint (4.9) audit, answered by return #1332 today); released unstarted for\nanother.\"* That is correct. The completed prior-art answer to this object is **return #1332**\n(job #2561, `claude-fable-5-1`, `author_rung: verified`, status `pending`), fetched and read here at\n`work/projects-twin-primes-return-1332.json`. Its conclusion stands: **no source supplies (4.9)**\nwithin its stated search, and the nearest *recorded* match is BFI II + III Theorem A as restated in\nMaynard I §1.1 (arXiv:2006.06572), saving the constant δ² per dyadic block.\n\n#1332's audit half is also already landed: the served §3 row now reads\n\"…absolute values over all moduli q in [Q,2Q] … (corrected 2026-09-19; the row previously read\n\\\"no absolute values\\\")\". That correction is in the file I read; it needs no re-doing.\n\n## 1. What this job adds: one missing source row, and a closer match\n\nI ran a search on a **channel neither #1332 nor `SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md`'s band row names**: the\n*divisor-weighted / class-uniform* large-moduli mean-value convention (\"Barban–Davenport–Halberstam\",\nevaluated at moduli beyond x^{1/2}). That returned Maynard's own series, of which the served record\nnames only **I** (arXiv:2006.06572) and **II**; **III** is absent.\n\n**C1 (verified — read from primary text).** Maynard, *Primes in arithmetic progressions to large\nmoduli III: Uniform residue classes*, arXiv:**2006.08250v1**, Memoirs Amer. Math. Soc.\n**306(1544), 2025**. Panel: \"We prove new mean value theorems for primes in arithmetic progressions\nto moduli larger than x^{1/2} … The main feature of these estimates is that they are completely\nuniform with respect to the residue classes considered, **unlike previous works** on primes in\narithmetic progressions to large moduli.\"\n\n- **Theorem 1.1** (p. 2–3), with Q₁ ≤ x^{1/10−3δ}/(log x)^C and Q₂ ≤ x^{4/10+4δ}(log x)^C:\n  Σ_{Q₁≤q₁≤2Q₁} Σ_{Q₂≤q₂≤2Q₂} **sup_{(a,q₁q₂)=1}** |π(x;q₁q₂,a) − π(x)/φ(q₁q₂)|\n  ≪_C **δπ(x) + x(log log x)²/(log x)²**.\n  Maynard's own gloss: this is \"a version of a theorem of Bombieri–Friedlander–Iwaniec [3] which is\n  now **completely uniform with respect to residue classes** (whereas previously the estimate was\n  restricted to a single fixed integer a of size O(1)), but with the constraint that the moduli have\n  a factor of size close to x^{1/10}.\"\n- **Theorem 1.2** (p. 3), 0 < δ < 1/1000, Q₁Q₂Q₃ = x^{1/2+δ} with\n  x^{40δ} < Q₂ < x^{1/20−7δ}, x^{1/10+12δ}/Q₂ < Q₃ < x^{1/10−4δ}/Q₂^{3/5}:\n  Σ_{q₁≤Q₁} Σ_{q₂≤Q₂} sup_{(b,q₁q₂)=1} Σ_{q₃≤Q₃} sup_{a≡b (mod q₁q₂)} |π(x;q₁q₂q₃,a) − π(x)/φ(q₁q₂q₃)|\n  ≪_{A,δ} **x/(log x)^A**.\n\n**C2 (verified — grepped the served file).** The served `research/fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md`\n§3 source matrix carries rows for BFI II Thms 3/5\\*, BFI II + III Theorem A, BFI I Thm 10 / Maynard\nII Thm 1.1 — and §4.3's summary sentence names \"the smooth or the convenient-divisor subsets\" of\nMaynard I and Zhang/Polymath. **There is no row for Maynard III.** Its own §2.3 sentence, \"the one\nabsolute-value theorem over all moduli beyond x^(1/2), BFI II + III as Theorem A of Maynard I, saves\nonly the constant delta^2 per dyadic block\", is by C1 no longer the only such theorem, nor the\nclosest.\n\n**C3 (heuristic — my comparison, not a source claim).** On the four axes that (4.9) fixes, Theorem\n1.2 is closer to (4.9) than BFI II+III Thm A on two and equal on one:\n\n| (4.9) asks | BFI II+III Thm A (Maynard I §1.1) | Maynard III Thm 1.2 |\n|---|---|---|\n| absolute values | yes | yes (sup over a) |\n| **uniform in the residue class a** | **no** — fixed a of size O(1) | **yes** — sup over all a; strictly stronger than (4.9), which fixes a = −2 |\n| **log-power saving** | no — constant δ² per block | **yes** — x/(log x)^A = o(x/log x) |\n| all odd moduli in a band of fixed power width | all q∈[Q,2Q], Q=x^{1/2+δ} | **no** — q = q₁q₂q₃ must split with the stated window constraints |\n| τ(q)³ weight, prefix sup_{t≤x} | no | no |\n\nSo the exact difference from the closest result is now: **(4.9) is not supplied because it needs\nevery odd modulus of a band of fixed power width ε′ ≤ 2x^{1/2+ε′}(log x)^{3L} — Maynard III's\nlog-power statement requires the moduli to split into three factors of prescribed sizes, and its\nuniform statement (Thm 1.1) pays only a constant δπ(x) — and because neither states the τ(q)³ weight\nor the prefix supremum.** The complement of a restricted moduli set is exactly the obstruction the\nserved matrix already prices (the \"unmatched\" column of the Cor. 1.3 row), so the note's conclusion\nis unchanged.\n\n**Corollary worth one line in the record:** Theorem 1.1's second term, x(log log x)²/(log x)², *is*\no(x/log x) — the log-power obstacle that #1332 priced per dyadic block is met by Maynard III; what\nMaynard III cannot buy is the *moduli set*, not the *rate*. That is a materially different, and more\naccurate, reason than \"the absolute-value theorems with a log-power saving stop at x^{1/2}\".\n\n## 2. Search record\n\nQueries run 2026-09-23T00:34–00:41Z (`web_search`, Serper/Google), 2 queries:\n1. \"Barban-Davenport-Halberstam theorem divisor function weight moduli beyond x^{1/2} fixed residue\n   class\" (deep) — 10 organic hits; the load-bearing one is *\"primes in arithmetic progressions to\n   large moduli iii\"* (ORA Oxford, Maynard, 2025).\n2. \"Maynard \\\"Primes in arithmetic progressions to large moduli III\\\" arXiv 2025 mean value theorem\n   statement\" — located arXiv:2006.08250 and the Memoirs AMS venue; returned the newer record\n   arXiv:2602.20917 (Runbo Li, 2026).\n\nSources actually inspected: arXiv abs/pages for **2006.08250** (abstract + full HTML, theorem text\nquoted above) and **2602.20917** (abstract page); served project files `return/97`, `return/1332`,\n`docs/research/{fixed-endpoint-discrepancy.md, SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md, IMPORT-MAP.md, README.md}`.\n\n**Inaccessible / not inspected:** the 2006.08250 **v1 PDF could not be text-extracted on this\ncontainer** (no `pypdf`/`pdftotext`/`mupdf` installed; the shared `export_transcript`-era tooling\nassumed `pypdf`), and the ar5iv HTML exceeds the fetch limit — the theorem text above therefore comes\nfrom the arXiv **HTML (experimental)** rendering of v1, stripped to text locally\n(`work/mayn3.html` → `work/mayn3.txt`), not from the PDF/published Memoirs version.

Gap that remains, and the next step\n\nUnchanged and now sharper: **no located source states (4.9)** — an absolute-value, prefix-supremum,\nτ(q)³-weighted estimate for one class over **every** odd modulus in a band of fixed power width\nbeyond x^{1/2}. The two live closest matches are now Maynard III Thm 1.2 (right rate, wrong moduli\nset, right class uniformity) and BFI II+III Thm A (right moduli set, wrong rate, no class\nuniformity). Cost: 0 CPU-h.\n\nCheapest next step (0 CPU-h, and the one this job could not finish): **add the Maynard III row to the\nserved §3 source matrix** and correct §4.3's \"the one absolute-value theorem over all moduli beyond\nx^{1/2}\" sentence, as an `audit` return carrying the revised file; and check §12 of the review\nrecord for whether the band sentence is duplicated there.
