{"id":713,"job_id":1507,"problem_id":1,"lane_id":5,"type":"explore","user_id":1,"model":"deepseek-v4-flash","provider":"deepseek","report_md":"# Job #1507 — prior art for return #4: the unfilled channel, and the coverage question split in two\n\nExplore / discovery, protocol `department-v2.research-2026-09-15.8`, **general** mode, stage\n`discover`, no route, lane `infinitude`. Rung of this return: **heuristic** (the channel facts are\nmeasured; the coverage verdict is an inference and is labelled as one). `cpu_hours: 0`.\n\n## 1. What is new here, in one paragraph\n\nJob #1500 / return **#705** identified **Levin 1984, Colloq. Math. Soc. János Bolyai 34, 995–1022\n(Zbl 0547.10037), Theorem 1** as the published carrier of the corpus's estimate **(M)**, and left two\nobligations it did not fill: MathSciNet had **not** been queried, and the paper's explicit `Q(x)`,\n`C` were **unread**. This return fills the first. `POST https://mathscinet.ams.org/mrlookup` (the free\nrecipe of `research/SEARCH-CONVENTIONS.md` §5) returns the record **MR781173**:\n\n```\n@incollection {MR781173, AUTHOR = {Levin, B. V.},\n  TITLE = {The \"average\" distribution of {$\\mu(n)$} and {$\\Lambda_f(n)$} in progressions},\n  BOOKTITLE = {Topics in classical number theory, {V}ol. {I}, {II} ({B}udapest, 1981)},\n  SERIES = {Colloq. Math. Soc. J\\'anos Bolyai}, VOLUME = {34}, PAGES = {995--1022},\n  PUBLISHER = {North-Holland, Amsterdam}, YEAR = {1984}, ISBN = {0-444-86509-8},\n  MRCLASS = {11N64 (11N35)}, MRNUMBER = {781173}, MRREVIEWER = {E. J. Scourfield}}\n```\n\nThat is an **independent** confirmation of #705's identification — different database, different\nreviewer, agreeing on author, title, venue, volume, year and pages — and it adds three facts #705 did\nnot have: the **volume title** (*Topics in classical number theory*), its **ISBN**\n(0-444-86509-8), and the name of the **MR reviewer** (E. J. Scourfield), which is what a reader needs\nto obtain the page. It also re-scopes the second, still-open obligation: what the corpus actually\nconsumes is `Q = T^{1/10}` (`research/TWIN-REDUCTION.md`), not the `Q ≤ T^{1/2}(log T)^{-B}` that (M)\nis *stated* at — so the owed page read is the check of a **much weaker** inequality than \"is the μ\nlevel 1/2\", and it is stated below as a bounded, named obligation rather than an open question.\n\n## 2. Channel record — every status, hit count and raw reply hashed\n\nAll replies saved under `work/job1507-searches/` and hashed in `job1507-checks.json`. Calibrations ran\n**in the same process** as the target queries, so a zero is a channel negative and not a dead channel.\n\n| channel | query | status | result | reading |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| **MathSciNet `mrlookup`** (free, §5 recipe) | `au=Motohashi year=1976 format=bibtex` **CAL** | 200 | \"Retrieved first 3 documents **out of 7**\" | channel live: 7 hits behind the display |\n| **MathSciNet `mrlookup`** | `au=Levin ti=distribution year=1984 format=bibtex` | 200 | \"**Retrieved all documents**\": MR781173 (record quoted above) + MR770907 Levin–Timofeev 1984 | **positive**, single document, not a truncated list |\n| MathSciNet `mrlookup` | `au=Levin ti=Bombieri year=1980 format=bibtex` (control) | 200 | no `Retrieved` line (empty) | the channel distinguishes a miss from a hit |\n| MathSciNet `mrlookup` | `ti=average distribution year=1984 format=bibtex` | 200 | \"first 3 documents out of 4\", none of them Levin | title-only is a worse probe than author+title here |\n| zbMATH API **CAL** | `Jacobsthal function` | 200 | 20 records (incl. `arXiv:1903.11973`) | live |\n| zbMATH API | `Levin average distribution arithmetic progressions` | 200 | 2 records, first = id **0547.10037** | re-reaches #705's own record |\n| arXiv API **CAL** | `ti:\"Jacobsthal function\"` | 200 | 8 entries | live |\n| arXiv API | `all:\"Levin\" AND all:\"Bombieri-Vinogradov\"` | 200 | **0** | weak metadata-only negative (conjunctive, §2's warning) |\n| archive.org | `title:(Elementary and analytic theory of numbers)` | 200 | 0 relevant (6 hits all *algebraic* numbers) | no scan of the volume |\n| archive.org | `isbn:(0444865098) OR title:(\"Topics in classical number theory\")` | 200 | **0** | no scan under the ISBN either |\n| OpenLibrary | `isbn/0444865098.json` | 200 | the volume **is** catalogued (Elsevier Science Publishing, hardcover), MARC source records from **Harvard, Columbia, Oregon Summit** | held in research libraries; **not online as text** |\n\nThe last three rows are the shape of the remaining obligation, recorded so no successor repeats the\nsearch: **the paper is a library page read**, exactly like return #4's own Iwaniec–Kowalski outcome (a\nloan copy at RUC, job #55 §1), not an online one. The free `mrlookup` endpoint is **bibliographic\nonly** — it returns no review text, no abstract, no MSC beyond `MRCLASS`; that is a property of the\nchannel, not a failed attempt, and it is why the printed `Q(x)` still cannot be read from here.\n\nAlso captured in the same 200 reply and worth one line: the companion **Levin–Timofeev 1984, Mat. Sb.\n(N.S.) 125(167) 4, 558–572, MR770907** (reviewer H.-E. Richert) — the neighbour #705 reached as Zbl\n0566.10037, now with its MR number too, so both neighbours are pinned in both databases.\n\n## 3. The coverage question, split into the two levels the corpus runs together\n\n- **(M) as stated** (`research/mobius-bv-derivation.md` §1, and return #4 §4):\n  `Σ_{q ≤ Q} max_{(a,q)=1} max_{y ≤ T} |Δ_μ(y;q,a)| ≪_A T (log T)^{-A}` for\n  `Q ≤ T^{1/2}(log T)^{-B}`.\n- **What the corpus consumes**: `Q = T^{1/10}`. Return #4 §4's own mesh argument reaches exactly\n  \"T^{1/10} (any fixed exponent below 1/2)\" — its reviewer (job #55, §4) corrected only the summary\n  sentence that over-claimed √T; the body was already scoped to the consumer's level.\n\nSo the load-bearing inequality for this project is **`Q(x) ≥ T^{1/10}`, not `Q = x^{1/2}(log x)^{-B}`**.\nAny explicit `Q` of the form `x^δ` with `δ ≥ 1/10`, and any `x^{1/2}(log x)^{-C}`, satisfies it; the\nreview #705 read states only that `Q` and `C` \"are given explicitly\". **This is an inference about the\nshape of the printed `Q`, not a page read, and it is offered at heuristic rung.** Its value is that it\nturns an open question into a bounded one:\n\n> **If** the printed `Q` is any fixed positive power of `x` at or above `1/10`, then (M) at the\n> consumer's level is owned by a printed theorem, and `mobius-bv-derivation.md` §2's five-channel\n> negative is superseded *for the μ case*. **If** it is below that, the corpus's own derivation stays\n> the only provenance at `T^{1/10}`. The check is **one display**, and the two places it lives are the\n> paper (library) and MR781173's review (subscription).\n\nNo claim is made either way about the printed value; nothing here is re-derived, and the four\nhypotheses of Levin's Theorem 1 for `(f, f̂) = (1, μ)` remain #705's measured result\n(`work/job1500-levin-out.log`), not restated as new.\n\n## 4. Deliverable: the served-document revision, ready to apply\n\n`job1507-served-doc-revision.md` carries the exact replacement text for\n(a) `research/mobius-bv-derivation.md` §2 — its ledger `verdict:` line and one added table row — and\n(b) the single-row addition to `research/IMPORT-MAP.md`. It closes the item return #705 explicitly\nleft as \"a pending cheap follow-up for the person or a successor audit return\", and it now cites\n**two independent bibliographic channels** (zbMATH Zbl 0547.10037, MathSciNet MR781173) with the MR\nreviewer named. **Neither served document was edited** by this return: this assignment is an\n`explore`, and an `audit` return is the path that applies file changes.\n\n## 5. Scope, rungs, and what was not done\n\n| claim | rung | basis |\n|---|---|---|\n| MR781173 exists and is the same paper as Zbl 0547.10037 (author, title, venue, vol. 34, pp. 995–1022, 1984) | **measured** | `mrlookup-02.txt` sha256 `3c3ae3c34dd7…` (full value in `job1507-checks.json`); raw BibTeX quoted in §1 |\n| The `mrlookup` channel is live and distinguishes hit from miss | **measured** | calibration 200 \"3 out of 7\" and control 200 empty, same process |\n| The volume is not online (archive.org, OpenLibrary as text) but is held by libraries | **measured** | `ia-isbn.json`, `openlibrary-isbn.json`, hashes in checks |\n| `(M)` at the consumer's level needs only `Q ≥` a fixed power `≥ 1/10`, so the carrier question is not \"level 1/2\" | **heuristic** (inference from the consumer's own level, not from a page) | §3; consumer level from `TWIN-REDUCTION.md` / return #4 §4, as reviewed by job #55 |\n| Levin 1984's printed `Q(x)`, `C`, `R(z)` | **NOT READ — still owed** | §2: not online; MR review is subscription; `mrlookup` is bibliographic only |\n\nNot done, deliberately: no page read (no online copy exists on the channels above); no MR review text\n(subscription); no re-derivation; no twin-prime claim; **no novelty claim for return #4** — this is a\nprovenance repair, and #705's verdict that (M) is *owned* stands with one more independent channel\nunder it. Hosted `web_search` was not used for any claim here.\n\n## 6. Standing item for the person\n\n**24 review jobs of this handle's returns are queued and cannot route to `deepseek-v4-flash`** — a\nmodel never reviews its own kind.
