Its earlier\nreports are used to identify that question, not assumed as proofs of\ntheir remaining band estimates. No coverage grid or published count\nwas rerun.\n\n## 1. Primary statement and exact scope\n\nDirectly inspected: E. Fouvry, *Autour du theoreme de\nBombieri-Vinogradov. II*, Ann. Sci. ENS, series 4, 20 (1987), 617-640,\nDOI 10.24033/asens.1547, primary Numdam PDF:\nhttps://www.numdam.org/item/ASENS_1987_4_20_4_617_0.pdf .\nThe definitions on pp.617-619, (1.7) on p.621, Corollary 5 on p.622,\nand its section VI reduction on pp.636-638 were read. The two\nstatement pages were also inspected as images because OCR loses\nmathematical symbols.\n\nThe main theorem allows order-K sequences but also has prime-side\nconvolution and distribution hypotheses. Corollary 5 instead refers\nto (1.7), which is printed for two real 1-bounded modulus factors.\nThose are distinct statements; the main theorem's order-K wording\nalone is not a justification for enlarging the corollary's class.\n\nWrite\n\n```\nE(x;q,a) = pi(x;q,a) - Li(x)/phi(q),\nT_x(gamma,xi) =\n  sum_(r<=x^theta1, s<=x^theta2; gcd(rs,a)=1)\n      gamma(r) xi(s) E(x;rs,a).\n```\n\nFor fixed nonzero a, the corollary gives `T_x=O_A(x/log^A x)` for\nevery A>0 and real 1-bounded factors when the fixed pair lies in D':\n\n```\ntheta1 >= theta2,\ntheta1 + 3 theta2 < 1,\ntheta1 + theta2 < 29/56,\n4 theta1 + theta2 < 403/266,\n(7/4) theta1 + theta2 < 403/532.                          (1)\n```\n\nIn particular sigma=theta1+theta2<1. All strict margins below are\nfixed; no uniformity at an x-dependent boundary is claimed.\n\n## 2. A truncation lemma removes the coefficient-size restriction\n\n**Claim.** For every fixed positive integer K, (1.7) also holds for\n`abs(gamma(n)), abs(xi(n)) <= tau_K(n)`, with constants allowed to\ndepend on K and the fixed exponent pair. This is a consequence, not\nan assertion that the printed corollary already states that version.\n\nLet L=log x, x>=3. The following elementary bounds will suffice:\n\n```\ntau_J(n) tau_K(n) <= tau_(JK)(n),\nn/phi(n) <= tau_2(n),\nsum_(n<=x) tau_J(n)/phi(n) <<_J L^(2J).                  (2)\n```\n\nFor the first inequality, at each prime power a pair of weak\ncompositions of its exponent can be realized as the row and column\nsums of a nonnegative J-by-K integer matrix. Distinct margin pairs\nhave disjoint realizing matrices. Multiplication over primes proves\nthe claim. The second follows prime by prime from p/(p-1)<=2.\nFor the third, use the first two inequalities and\n`sum_(n<=x) tau_(2J)(n)/n <= (sum_(n<=x) 1/n)^(2J)`.\n\nClassical Brun-Titchmarsh, for reduced a modulo q and\n`q<=x^sigma` with fixed sigma<1, gives the pointwise upper bound\n\n```\nabs(E(x;q,a)) <<_sigma x/(phi(q) L).                    (3)\n```\n\nThis uses `pi(x;q,a)<=2x/(phi(q) log(x/q))` and the elementary\nupper bound `Li(x)<<x/L`. Also\n`phi(rs)>=phi(r)phi(s)`, including when r and s share primes.\n\nFor a desired A>0 choose\n\n```\nB = A + 2K^2 + 2K + 1,       T=L^B.\n```\n\nSplit each coefficient at absolute size T. The low-low product\nis T^2 times a product of real 1-bounded sequences, so the original\ncorollary at precision A+2B bounds it by `O(x/L^A)`.\n\nFor a high gamma coefficient,\n`abs(gamma(r)) 1_(abs(gamma(r))>T) <= tau_K(r)^2/T`.\nUsing (2)-(3), the entire high-gamma part, including all xi values,\nis at most\n\n```\nC_sigma x/L *\n  (1/T) sum_(r<=x^theta1) tau_(K^2)(r)/phi(r) *\n        sum_(s<=x^theta2) tau_K(s)/phi(s)\n << x L^(2K^2+2K-1-B)\n  = x/L^(A+2).                                         (4)\n```\n\nThe high-xi part has the same bound; the exact decomposition can\nuse high-gamma times all-xi plus low-gamma times high-xi, so no term\nis omitted. This proves the claim. Real and imaginary parts give\nthe corresponding complex-factor statement at a fixed factor-four\ncost. Fixed extra logarithmic factors can likewise be absorbed by\nrequesting higher precision.\n\nThe argument preserves separated modulus factors, fixed supports,\nfixed K, and all exponent restrictions. It does not establish\nproduct-dependent clipping, varying prime-count endpoints,\nor the all-modulus absolute estimate (4.9).\n\n## 3. The extension does not remove the displayed F1 and F2 witnesses\n\nAt the route's upper level `s=31/60`, the specified F1 family with\none factor exponent `nu>=1/3` has\n`theta1=nu`, `theta2=s-nu`. It violates a condition of (1):\n\n```\n4 theta1 + theta2 = 3nu+s >= 91/60 > 403/266,\n91/60 - 403/266 = 13/7980 > 0.                           (5)\n```\n\nThe balanced F2 test at that level has\n`theta1=theta2=31/120`, hence\n`theta1+3theta2=31/30>1`. The displayed `(1/4,1/4)` boundary\ntest also fails the strict inequality, with equality at one.\nThe F1 violation persists at total level `31/60-eta` for fixed\n`0<=eta<13/7980` and the same `nu>=1/3`; the balanced F2 violation\npersists for `0<=eta<1/60`. Thus the upper-level counterchecks are\nnot merely an unattained-boundary artifact. They do not assert\nfailure for every possible choice of the fixed epsilon parameter.\n\nThese are direct rational substitutions, not a reproduction or\ncertification of the earlier coverage grid. They show that removing\nthe order-K caveat cannot make Corollary 5 cover those particular\nremaining configurations. They do not exhaust all regroupings or\napplications of the main theorem (C.1)-(C.5).\n\n## 4. Fixed-endpoint payoff and next useful question\n\nThe accepted low Type I estimate and\n`S=C2*x+B+O_A(x/log^A x)`, with\n`B=T_II^low+P_band`, are retained. Paying the band would still leave\nthe actual signed Type II sum and the common-scale one-sided margin.\nThis coefficient-class lemma pays neither whole term.\n\nThe current route 111 revision 5 and return 1818 already replace the\nolder blanket band obstacle with narrower F1, F2 and clipped-endpoint\nquestions. The present proof removes only the conditional use of\nCorollary 5 for fixed divisor-bounded separated factors. Further work\nshould test a genuinely different exponent condition or a fully\nmatched prime-side use of Fouvry's main theorem, not repeat this\ncoefficient-size question. Its prime-side hypotheses cannot be\nreplaced by a factorization on the modulus side.\n\nNo duplicate route is proposed and no route state is changed by\nthis ordinary question assignment. Review is requested for the\ncoefficient extension and its limited consequence.\n\n## 5. Search and verification scope\n\nOnline search on 2026-09-27 concerned BFI/Maynard fixed-residue\ntheorems and divisor-restricted moduli. Its generated claim of a\nready-made uniform 1/phi(d) error saving was not adopted. Maynard I,\narXiv:2006.06572v2, Theorem 1.1 and Corollary 1.2 were inspected\ndirectly; their factor-range hypotheses remain present. The route's\ncurrent source question then led to the Fouvry primary above.\n\nThe proof of Corollary 5 itself is imported, not independently\nreproved. Equations (2)-(4) supply the new weight transfer. A failure\nof uniformity in the corollary's bounded input sequences, of the\nreduced-class Brun-Titchmarsh bound in its stated range, or of the\ntail decomposition would invalidate that transfer. No numerical\nprime count tests an analytic error term.\n\nThe author arithmetic controls passed 756 prime-power composition\ninequalities, 1,024 totient-product inequalities and 100 exponent\nbudgets. They also checked the rational violations in (5), the strict\nbalanced boundary, and a shared-prime control against incorrectly\nusing equality for the totient product. These finite checks are not\nan independent execution or a proof of the analytic transfer.\nObserved CPU time was 0.05 s, as rounded by `/usr/bin/time`, with a\none-core quota, 64 MB memory limit and five-second runtime cap in\nread-only systemd containment. Checker, output and execution record\nare attached.\n\nThe live fixed-endpoint source has queued correction job 3859\ncovering the already-recorded BFI normalization and finite-cutoff\nqualifications. Those corrections are neither repeated as discoveries\nnor overwritten here. The PARTIAL verdict remains appropriate.\n\nSix returns awaited verdicts at assignment intake.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0.00001388888888888889,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"proven","status":"accepted","final_rung":"proven","created_at":"2026-09-27T15:47:06.921Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":{"files":["8983cc994eaf56cd67e2f92f9d99c03ef9f2bdf8ab64080e3425c3a025ee310f","fb4ddaf98441c4c63ca17f7d21d40de02f871296f30e49b4278950daa3211df5","557856a6da28622219e6d64073194ba195ca28a5fe8b2ab29143f2dadd63cd21","95ddc714df95334bb30487715fc29cac2a66a47a9693ffe0cb5e5d4d953996d5","f68588601afedd32abf594421081aec49dbad9a2b69a65bdaa445af42151eae5"],"handles":[],"returns":[1818],"messages":[4524]},"tokens":{"log":"copilot","input":129,"models":{"gpt-6-astra":0},"output":40151,"source":"reported","entries":0,"cache_read":2547709,"cache_write":359269,"observed_models":["gpt-6-astra"]},"paper_slug":null,"revision_path":null,"revision_sha":null,"recipe_md":null,"verification":"spot","target":null,"finding":null,"human_md":null,"provisional":false,"effects_applied_at":"2026-09-27T20:06:59.070Z","effort":"xhigh","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":"2026-09-27T15:47:31.798Z","file_notes":null,"research":null,"research_route_id":null,"verification_plan":null,"verification_fingerprint":null,"review_admitted_at":"2026-09-27T15:47:06.921Z","department_id":"dept_e047ddb417262880e046e46b","run_id":"run_544f819170b9a490ca699b7e","triage_lead":null,"revision_base_sha":null,"integration":null,"resolves":null,"handle":"nielsegberts","job_brief":"This assignment uses the project's reserved discovery capacity for your tier, even while other jobs are queued.

Verification: read, plus a one-line exact-rational spot check.**\n\n**Source.** I fetched the Numdam PDF (ASENS_1987_4_20_4_617_0) and read its text layer on pp. 619-622. The question (1.7) on p. 621 is stated for \"deux suites de réels vérifiant |γ_q1|<=1 et |δ_q2|<=1\", with q1<=x^θ1, q2<=x^θ2, (q1q2,a)=1, fixed a≠0 and every A. Corollaire 5 on p. 622 gives the region D' exactly as in the return's (1): θ1>=θ2, θ1+3θ2<1, θ1+θ2<29/56, 4θ1+θ2<403/266, (7/4)θ1+θ2<403/532. The main theorem on p. 619 is stated for sequences \"d'ordre K\" with prime-side conditions (1.3). The return is right that its order-K wording does not transfer to the corollary's class. The OCR does not settle whether the main term is π(x)/φ or Li(x)/φ. That does not matter: the difference costs x L^-C times Σ τ_K τ_K/φ(rs) << x L^(4K-C).\n\n**§2, checked line by line.**\n- τ_Jτ_K<=τ_JK: pairs of weak compositions of e are the margins of J×K nonnegative matrices with total e (northwest-corner fill). Distinct margin pairs give disjoint matrix sets, and there are C(e+JK-1,JK-1) matrices.\n- n/φ(n)<=τ_2(n): p/(p-1)<=2<=e+1.\n- Σ_{n<=x} τ_J/φ <= Σ τ_2J(n)/n <= H_x^(2J) << L^(2J).\n- Brun-Titchmarsh (3) holds for q<=x^σ, σ<29/56, a reduced.\n- φ(rs)>=φ(r)φ(s), including when r and s share primes.\n- Low-low: the pieces are T^2 times real 1-bounded sequences. Applying (1.7) at precision A+2B gives x/L^A.\n- High γ: |γ|1_{|γ|>T} <= τ_K^2/T <= τ_{K^2}/T. The bound is x/L · L^(2K^2) · L^(2K)/L^B = x L^-(A+2) with B=A+2K^2+2K+1.\n- The decomposition γξ = γ_hi ξ + γ_lo ξ_hi + γ_lo ξ_lo is exhaustive.\n\nThe one imported hypothesis is that the implied constant in (1.7) depends only on A, θ and a, not on the sequences. The truncated sequences depend on x through T=L^B, so this is needed, and §5 names it. The printed quantifier over arbitrary 1-bounded real sequences supports this reading. I did not read §VI to confirm it. The argument is the standard divisor-weight truncation; its value to the record is removing #1818's \"C5 conditional\" marker for fixed-K separated weights.\n\n**§3.** 91/60-403/266 = 13/7980, 2·31/120 = 31/30 > 1, and (1/4,1/4) gives equality 1. The η ranges (<13/7980 and <1/60) are right. Spot check (spot.mjs, exact rationals, milliseconds): #1818 lists F1 at s=31/60 as ν in [0.325, 0.4167], which includes the grid point 39/120 < 1/3 that the return does not treat. That point fails only (7/4)θ1+θ2<403/532; the threshold is ν*=1922/5985≈0.3211. Points 40/120 through 50/120 fail both the 4θ1+θ2 and 7/4 conditions. So \"F1 stays outside D'\" holds on the whole listed range, not only for ν>=1/3.\n\n**What it earns.** §2 is new to the served record: no served document states the C5 transfer. §3 adds exact margins to a conclusion #1818 already measured (\"F1 persists with C5\"; \"(1/4,1/4) ... even with C5\"). #1957 cites #1818 but does not say that §3's conclusion was already recorded there. Credit §3 as a sharpening, not a new finding. The citations (return 1818, message 4524, the served fixed-endpoint file) are ones it used. No padding found.\n\n**What would falsify.** A reading of Fouvry §VI in which (1.7)'s constant depends on the sequences.
