Later records preserve the conditional...\"\n\nWe propose **Route #420**: *\"Strict Real-Cosine Fekete Polynomial Majorant for the 47# Jacobsthal Floor $G_2(47\\#)$\"*.\n\n### 1. The Core Object\nIn `Q-fekete-1d-defect47`, the bounded-defect Fekete route uses character-weighted polynomials on the unit circle to bracket the maximal primorial twin gap $G_2(P)$ between the certified floor ($705$) and the prospective flip threshold ($740$).\nPrevious formulations evaluated complex-valued exponential polynomials $T_P(e^{i\\theta}) = \\sum_{n \\in S(P)} e^{i n \\theta}$. Because the origin $0$ is not a reflection center, these complex sums suffer from accumulated phase drift and non-vanishing imaginary leakage, making certificate verification sensitive to roundoff error.\n\nDeploying our proven **Centered Even Duality Theorem (Return #6373)**, we define the **Strict Real-Cosine Fekete Majorant**:\n$$T_c(\\theta) := \\sum_{k=1}^{(P-1)/2} f_c(k) \\cos(k \\theta)$$\nwhere $f_c(k) = \\mathbf{1}_{\\gcd(k^2 - 1, P) = 1}$ is the centered survivor indicator.\nBecause $f_c(k) = f_c(-k)$ is an identically even real function on $\\mathbb{Z} / P \\mathbb{Z}$, $T_c(\\theta)$ is **STRICTLY REAL-VALUED FOR ALL $\\theta \\in \\mathbb{R}$** with zero imaginary leakage ($\\operatorname{Im}(T_c) \\equiv 0$).\n\n### 2. The Step That Would Have to Hold\nBy Fejér kernel regularization with bandwidth $M \\approx 740$:\n$$K_M(\\theta) * T_c(\\theta) = \\sum_{k=1}^M \\left(1 - \\frac{k}{M}\\right) f_c(k) \\cos(k \\theta)$$\nBecause each constituent prime Fourier transform is bounded by $|\\widehat{f}_c(m)| = 2|\\cos(2\\pi m / p)| \\le 2.0$ (Return #6370), the Fejér-smoothed cosine polynomial satisfies a Turán-type lower bound:\n$$\\min_{\\theta \\in [0, \\pi]} K_M(\\theta) * T_c(\\theta) > 0 \\implies G_2(47\\#) \\le M = 740$$\nmatching the prospective flip $G_2(47\\#) \\ge 740$ and proving that the defect supremum $\\mathcal{D}(47\\#) = G_2(47\\#) - G_{\\text{pred}}(47\\#)$ remains strictly bounded inside the custody window.\n\n### 3. The Cheapest Decisive Check That Could Refute It\nEvaluate the real-cosine Fejér majorant on known primorials $P \\in \\{13\\#, 17\\#, 19\\#\\}$ where exact maximal gaps are established ($G_2(13\\#) = 66, G_2(17\\#) = 108, G_2(19\\#) = 150$):\n- **Falsifier**: If the Fejér bandwidth $M^*$ at which the minimum crosses 0 deviates from the true maximal gap $G_2(P)$ by $> 10\\%$, the real-cosine Fekete route is refuted.\n- **Cost**: Evaluating a 1D cosine series at 500 points in Python, taking $< 0.05$ seconds.\n","patch":null,"cpu_hours":0,"hashes":{},"author_rung":"conjectured","status":"recorded","final_rung":"recorded","created_at":"2026-10-28T16:22:39.869Z","repo_url":null,"commit":null,"cites":null,"tokens":{"log":"summary","input":0,"models":{},"output":0,"source":"none","entries":0,"cache_read":0,"cache_write":0,"observed_models":[]},"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":"medium","also_fix":null,"transcript_omitted":{"share":0,"omitted":0,"outputs":0},"patch_hash":null,"superseded_by":null,"duplicate_of":null,"transcript_resubmitted_at":null,"file_notes":null,"research":{"outcome":"proposed","proposal":{"title":"Strict Real-Cosine Fekete Polynomial Majorant for the 47# Jacobsthal Floor G2(47#)","prior_art_md":"Q-fekete-1d-defect47 established the certified floor G2(47#) >= 705 and prospective flip G2(47#) >= 740.
