c=1 modular-bootstrap partition-function classification

Statement

Let H={τ∈C:Im⁡τ>0} and, for real α, use qα:=e2πiτα with q=e2πiτ. Set η(τ)=q1/24∏n≥1(1−qn). A formal c=1 modular-bootstrap datum is an integer-valued function d:R≥02→Z together with its null-subtracted multiplicity function defined as follows. Put C(P)={{P−j:j=0,1,…,⌊P⌋},P∈12Z≥0,{P},P∉12Z≥0,DP,Pˉ:=∑P′∈C(P), Pˉ′∈C(Pˉ)dP′,Pˉ′. Call D the formal primary-multiplicity array; this name does not posit a Hilbert-space realization. Define supp⁡d:={(P,Pˉ):dP,Pˉ≠0} and supp⁡D:={(P,Pˉ):DP,Pˉ≠0}. Require both supports to be locally finite in R≥02, meaning every compact subset meets each support in finitely many points. For χP(τ):=qP2/η(τ) define Z(τ,τˉ):=∑P,Pˉ≥0dP,Pˉ χP(τ)χPˉ(−τˉ), and require this series to converge absolutely for every τ∈H. In this item, unitary means exactly the nonnegative-primary-multiplicity axiom DP,Pˉ∈Z≥0; it does not assert a Hilbert space, operator products, or existence of a full local CFT. Assume the modular-bootstrap axioms [A1]–[A6] in Facts & Assumptions below, including the Axiom of Choice in [A6].

For R>0 define the Narain lattice and its atomic measure by ΛR={(mR+n/R2,mR−n/R2):m,n∈Z},ρR=∑x∈ΛRδx. Choose the source's asymmetric density representatives with R≥1; the characters are even in each momentum, so densities related by sign symmetrization give the same partition function. Then the A1–A5 partition-function densities are exactly:

  1. ρR for R≥1;
  2. ρRorb=12(−ρ1+2ρ2+ρR) for R>1, with ρ1orb=ρ2;
  3. ρtet=12(−ρ1+ρ2+2ρ3);
  4. ρoct=12(−ρ1+ρ2+ρ3+ρ4);
  5. ρico=12(−ρ1+ρ2+ρ3+ρ5);
  6. 12(ρR+ρR′) for distinct R,R′≥1.

This classifies only the formal partition-function data just defined. In particular, A1–A5 admit the spurious average in item 6. The theorem does not construct a full local CFT for each listed density and does not prove full-CFT uniqueness or physical realizability.

The vacuum is unique: d0,0=1.

[A6]

Assume the Axiom of Choice (AC), in the choice-function form of The Axiom of Choice. The AC consequences used in the proof (countable and dependent choice, weak-star compactness, Haar measure, measure decomposition, and Poisson summation) are stated with their hypotheses in the listed suppliers below.

[F1]

Discrete elements of the coset ring are generated by discrete cosets proves that every locally finite subset of the coset ring of Rd belongs to the ring generated by discrete cosets; only this finite set-theoretic reduction is used.

[F2]

Jacobi theta triple product and nonvanishing of the theta constant gives the locally uniformly convergent series/product identity Θ(z∣τ)=∑n∈Zeπin2τ+2πinz=∏n≥1(1−Q2n)(1+Q2n−1e2πiz)(1+Q2n−1e−2πiz), where Q=eπiτ and Im⁡τ>0. Only this exact mathematical interface is used.

[F3]

AC implies countable choice and dependent choice (AC supplies the countable and dependent choices used in Banach integration); countable choice is the choice principle used in [F15] and dependent choice is used in [F4] and [F7].

[F4]

Assuming dependent choice, supplied by [A6] through [F3], for a locally compact Hausdorff space X, every bounded complex-linear functional on C0(X) is integration against a unique finite regular complex Borel measure, and its operator norm is the total-variation norm (The bounded complex dual of C0(X) is regular complex measures). In particular this applies to compact X, where C0(X)=C(X), and to open subsets of a compact Hausdorff group.

[F5]

Under the ultrafilter lemma, the closed dual ball of any normed space is compact for its weak-star topology (Banach–Alaoglu). AC supplies the ultrafilter lemma (The ultrafilter lemma, from the Axiom of Choice: every filter extends to an ultrafilter).

[F6]

Under AC, every compact Hausdorff group has a unique normalized left Haar probability, which is also right- and inversion-invariant (Normalized Haar probability on a compact group).

[F7]

Under dependent choice, if λ is a Radon measure on a locally compact Hausdorff space and 1≤p<∞, then Cc is dense in Lp(λ) (Cc(X) is dense in Lp(μ) for a Radon measure).

[F8]

Under AC, every signed measure with a common finite exhaustion for itself and a positive reference measure has a Lebesgue decomposition into an absolutely continuous measure with a measurable density and a singular measure (Every sigma-finite signed measure admits a Lebesgue decomposition relative to a sigma-finite positive measure). For a finite complex measure on compact H, apply this theorem to its real and imaginary signed parts with the normalized Haar probability; the two singular carriers have a Haar-null union.

[F9]

Under AC, a finite complex measure absolutely continuous with respect to a sigma-finite positive measure has an integrable complex Radon–Nikodym density (A finite complex measure absolutely continuous with respect to a sigma-finite positive measure has an integrable complex density).

[F10]

For a finite complex measure ν and measurable E, ∣ν∣(E) is the supremum of ∣∫Es dν∣ over measurable complex simple functions s with ∣s∣≤1 (Total variation is the supremum of simple integrals over unit-bounded test functions).

[F11]

A unital point-separating self-adjoint complex function algebra on a compact Hausdorff space is uniformly dense in its continuous complex-valued functions (Complex Stone–Weierstrass dichotomy for separating self-adjoint algebras; the unital case is dense).

[F12]

The Gaussian separation argument in step 1.2 proves locally the precise fact needed here: a separately even tempered distribution annihilating every polynomial times e−(x2+y2) is zero. No external Hermite-basis theorem is used.

[F13]

Assuming the ultrafilter lemma, a product of compact Hausdorff spaces is compact Hausdorff; a closed subspace of a compact space is compact (Assuming the ultrafilter lemma, an arbitrary product of compact Hausdorff spaces is compact, A closed subspace of a compact space is compact, and a finite union of compact subspaces is compact).

[F14]

Let E=(R2,+) with the discrete topology, T={z∈C:∣z∣=1}, G=Hom⁡(E,T) with pointwise multiplication and the subspace topology from TE, and Γ={χv:v∈E} where χv(ϕ)=ϕ(v). The homomorphism equations make G a closed subgroup of TE, hence compact Hausdorff by [F13]. The functions χv are continuous characters; they separate points of G by the definition of distinct homomorphisms, and v↦χv is injective (for v≠w, choose a real linear functional ℓ with ℓ(v−w)=1/2 and use ϕ(x)=e2πiℓ(x)). For every closed subgroup H≤G, the restricted evaluation characters Γ∣H separate points. Their span is a unital self-adjoint algebra, so [F11] makes it uniformly dense in C(G) or C(H). No assertion that every abstract character of H extends to G is needed. Normalized Haar probabilities are supplied by [F6]; distinct characters are orthogonal because translating their nontrivial quotient multiplies its Haar integral by a scalar different from 1.

[F15]

Under countable choice, for f∈S(Rn) the periodization ∑k∈Znf(x+k) equals ∑k∈Znf^(k)e2πik⋅x; both series converge absolutely, and the left series converges locally uniformly with every derivative (Poisson summation for Schwartz functions). AC supplies countable choice by [F3].

[F16]

Assuming countable choice, Fourier transform is a topological automorphism of Schwartz space proves that the negative-sign, 2π-normalized Fourier transform is a continuous automorphism of S, its square is reflection, and its inverse is reflection composed with itself. AC supplies its choice hypothesis by [F3]. The transform S below is obtained by an invertible linear change of frequencies and the factor 2, so it too preserves Schwartz space and has square reflection.

Let K be either the compact group G in [F14] or a closed subgroup H≤G, and let ΓK be the evaluation characters on G or their restrictions to H. For a finite complex regular Borel measure μ on K, write μ^(γ)=∫γ‾ dμ and define modulation by d(γμ)=γ dμ. Give M(K) the total-variation norm and the weak-star topology as the dual of C(K); Haar probability on each compact subgroup is normalized to mass one. Suppose μ≠0 and all its ΓK-Fourier coefficients are integers. Let A be any subset of the distinct measures {γμ:γ∈ΓK}, and let ν be an accumulation point of A (every neighborhood of ν meets A in infinitely many points). Put M=∥μ∥>0. Every modulation and every weak-star limit has integer Fourier coefficients, since modulation shifts coefficients and coefficient evaluation is weak-star continuous. We prove ∥ν∥≤M−1/(8M)<M. If ν=0 this is immediate, since nonzero integer Fourier data and density in [F14] imply M≥1. Otherwise fix 0<κ<∥ν∥/M. By [F4], the total-variation dual norm formula supplies f∈C(K) with ∥f∥∞≤1 and Re⁡∫f dν>κM. The resulting open half-space neighborhood contains two distinct members γ1μ,γ2μ of A. Since μ≪∣μ∣, [F9] gives dμ=θ d∣μ∣; [F10], applied to simple approximations of the measurable phase, gives ∣μ∣=∣θ∣ ∣μ∣, hence ∣θ∣=1 almost everywhere. For j=1,2, expanding the square gives ∫∣γjθ−f‾∣2 d∣μ∣=M+∫∣f∣2 d∣μ∣−2Re⁡∫fγj dμ≤2(1−κ)M. The L2(∣μ∣) triangle inequality and Cauchy--Schwarz imply ∥γ1μ−γ2μ∥≤22(1−κ)M. Their difference is nonzero and still has integer Fourier coefficients. By [F14] its evaluation-character span is dense in C(K); therefore Fourier uniqueness makes some coefficient a nonzero integer. That coefficient has modulus at most the total-variation norm, so the last norm is at least 1. It follows that κ≤1−1/(8M2). Letting κ↑∥ν∥/M proves the asserted strict norm drop.

Write x=P, y=bar P. Call a coordinate degenerate when it belongs to (1/2)Z≥0, and otherwise generic. Let Vab(X,Y) be the sum of ∣dxy∣ in 0≤x≤X, 0≤y≤Y of type ab, a,b in {g,d}; Vab(R) means Vab(R,R). Constants depend on the fixed density and the fixed bump, not on growing parameters. Define the even signed density ρ=(1/4)∑ dxy(δx,y+δ−x,y+δx,−y+δ−x,−y); repeated axis atoms are counted with their multiplicities. This reproduces Z because the characters are separately even. Write BR:={x∈R2:∣x∣≤R} for the Euclidean closed ball of radius R. Inverting the stipulated cumulative relation gives d_gg=D_gg; d_dg(x,y)=D(x,y)-D(x-1,y); d_gd(x,y)=D(x,y)-D(x,y-1); d_dd(x,y)=D(x,y)-D(x-1,y)-D(x,y-1)+D(x-1,y-1), where a negative coordinate means zero. Thus for real b,c>0, Theta(b,c)=sum D(x,y) A_x(b) A_y(c), A_x(b)=exp(-b x^2) (generic x), A_x(b)=exp(-b x^2)-exp(-b(x+1)^2) (degenerate x). Every term is nonnegative. Rearrangement is legitimate: cumulative sums defining D are bounded by cumulative |d| on the half-integer coordinates, and summation against any fixed Gaussian is bounded by summation of |d| against a slightly wider Gaussian times a convergent Gaussian tail. The assumed absolute convergence therefore gives absolute convergence of both displayed expressions, also locally uniformly for complex b,c with positive real parts. Here is the eta transformation used, rather than an extra bootstrap axiom. Define θ3=Θ(0∣τ), θ4=Θ(1/2∣τ), θ2=exp⁡(πiτ/4)Θ(τ/2∣τ). Multiplying the products in [F2] and splitting even and odd indices gives 2η(τ)3=θ2 θ3 θ4. Periodize the explicit shifted Gaussian exp⁡(−πt(x+a)2), t>0, and integrate its Fourier coefficients by completing the square: the coefficient at n is t−1/2exp⁡(−πn2/t)exp⁡(2πina). Its Fourier series and all derivatives converge absolutely, so evaluation at the origin proves shifted Gaussian Poisson summation without a general summation theorem. Using a=0 or 1/2 and the half-frequency version gives θ3(−1/τ)=−iτθ3(τ), with θ2 and θ4 exchanged, first for τ=it and then throughout the upper half-plane by holomorphy. Therefore η(−1/τ)/(−iτη(τ)) has cube1. The convergent eta product has no zeros; the ratio is holomorphic on the connected upper half-plane, so constant, and its value at τ=i is1. This proves η(−1/τ)=−iτη(τ). For physical τ=σ+it, the associated widths are b=2π(t−iσ) and c=2π(t+iσ); these form an open subset of a maximally totally real two-dimensional submanifold of {Re⁡b>0,Re⁡c>0}. Thus A1 and this transformation give, first on that locus and then by the local power-series identity principle, Theta(b,c)=2pi/sqrt(bc) Theta(4pi^2/b,4pi^2/c) for independent complex widths with positive real parts. In particular the identity holds for every pair of positive real widths. We also use the following uniqueness fact for the Laplace expansion: if a locally finite atomic array ax,y on R≥02 satisfies ∑x,y∣ax,y∣e−bx−cy<∞ for every b,c>0 and ∑ax,ye−bx−cy=0 for all such b,c, then all ax,y=0. Indeed, for fixed b0,c0>0, the finite complex measure ∑ax,ye−b0x−c0yδ(e−x,e−y) on [0,1]2 has every polynomial moment zero; polynomial density by [F11] and uniqueness in [F4] make it the zero measure, and injectivity of (x,y)↦(e−x,e−y) gives every coefficient zero. Absolute convergence of this weighted measure follows from the stipulated convergence at equal positive widths, using min⁡(b,c). For the spin calculation take x=P2 and y=Pˉ2; local finiteness is preserved because squaring is proper on R≥0. Consequently Θ(b,c)≤C/bc for 0<b,c≤1. On [X/2,X] the degenerate difference Ax(X−2) is ≥c0/X, by the mean-value theorem; the bounded initial interval has the same estimate with X=1. Dyadic subdivision in each degenerate variable, followed by the preceding positive θ bound, gives V_gg(X,Y)≤C XY, sum_dg D(x,y), V_dg(X,Y)≤C X^2Y, sum_gd D(x,y), V_gd(X,Y)≤C XY^2, sum_dd D(x,y), V_dd(X,Y)≤C X^2Y^2. For example the dg dyadic shell x in [2j−1,2j] contributes at most C 2j Θ(2−2j,Y−2)≤C 22j Y; summing the geometric series gives the second line. Absolute values of d cost at most two (or four) sums of D. In particular ∣ρ∣(BR)=O(R4). Here S(R2) is the space of smooth functions f for which every seminorm supx ∣xα ∂β f(x)| is finite, and S' is its continuous dual. Dyadic shells imply integral (1+∣x∣)−N d∣ρ∣(x)<∞ for every N>4, so ∣<ρ,f>∣ ≤ CN supx (1+∣x∣)N |f(x)| and ρ belongs to S'. Define S f(x,y)=2 integral exp⁡(4πi(xx′−yy′)) f(x',y') dx' dy' on S; [F16] gives continuity on S and S squared equal to reflection. For T∈S′, define ST by ⟨ST,f⟩:=⟨T,Sf⟩ for every f∈S; thus S2T is reflection as well. Gaussian transformation and A1 imply <ρ,f≥<ρ,Sf> for centered product Gaussians of every pair of positive widths, and also for their width derivatives. Here is a local separation proof. Put T=ρ−Sρ. At widths b=c=1, width derivatives give ⟨T,x2jy2ke−x2−y2⟩=0 for every j,k≥0; separate evenness gives the same equality for monomials with an odd exponent. The function F(z,w)=⟨T,e−x2−y2+zx+wy⟩ is entire on C2: on every compact parameter set, the exponential Taylor series and each of its parameter derivatives converge in every Schwartz seminorm, bounded by a polynomial times e−x2−y2+C(∣x∣+∣y∣). All Taylor coefficients vanish, so F=0. For f∈Cc∞(R2), Fourier inversion on Schwartz functions (equivalently the identity S2f=f(−⋅) above) writes e−x2−y2f as an integral of e−x2−y2+i(tx+uy) against the rapidly decreasing Fourier transform of f. The integral converges in Schwartz seminorms: the seminorm of each Gaussian exponential grows at most polynomially in (t,u). Applying T gives zero because F(it,iu)=0. For any g∈Cc∞, take f=ex2+y2g to obtain ⟨T,g⟩=0. Smooth cutoffs tending to one show Cc∞ is dense in Schwartz space, since each weighted derivative of the discarded tail tends to zero. Thus T=0 and ρ=Sρ. Define the formal spin by s(x,y):=x2−y2. A2, after the analytic continuation above, gives a zero two-variable Laplace expansion with coefficients dP,Pˉ(e2πi(P2−Pˉ2)−1). The uniqueness argument just proved forces every such coefficient to vanish; therefore s(x,y):=x2−y2 lies in Z at every occupied atom. Thus both Fourier self-duality and spin quantization have now been derived without presupposing the sharper growth bound.

Let λ=∣μ∣ and let a net of modulations γiμ converge weak-star to ν. For each f∈C(G), ∣∫f dν∣=lim⁡i∣∫fγi dμ∣≤∫∣f∣ dλ. If U⊆G is open, every f∈Cc(U) extends by zero to a continuous function on G. The same inequality and the Riesz--Markov norm formula [F4] on the locally compact space U give ∣ν∣(U)≤λ(U). Outer regularity then gives ∣ν∣(E)≤λ(E) for every Borel E⊆G. Thus the limit is dominated in variation by the common modulation bound. For any closed subgroup H≤G and a∈C(H), the bounded Borel function a1H on G is in L1(λ). By [F7] approximate it in L1(λ) by continuous functions on G. Their integral errors are uniform for all γiμ and ν, since ∣γiμ∣=λ and ∣ν∣≤λ. Weak-star convergence therefore implies γi(μ∣H)→ν∣H weak-star on H. This proves the needed continuity of restriction along this dominated net. For a finite complex measure σ on H, [F8] applied to real and imaginary parts and [F9] give σ=fmH+σs, where mH is normalized Haar measure, f∈L1(mH), and σs is singular to mH. Suppose distinct restricted evaluation characters ηi∈Γ∣H escape every finite subset. For each a∈C(H), approximate af∈L1(mH) first by a continuous function using [F7], then uniformly by a finite linear combination of restricted evaluation characters using [F11] and [F14]. Haar orthogonality [F6], [F14] makes ∫Haηif dmH tend to zero, so ηifmH→0 weak-star. Every weak-star limit of ηiσs is dominated by ∣σs∣ by the preceding argument and is therefore still singular to mH. Hence every limit along an escaping net of restricted evaluation characters is singular. Consequently, for any modulation-orbit limit ν and closed subgroup H, either ν∣H=η(μ∣H) for some restricted evaluation character η, or ν∣H is singular to mH: if it is not an orbit measure, direct the neighborhoods of the limit together with finite subsets of Γ∣H, and choose approximating orbit measures outside each finite subset.

Fix an even smooth bump ψ∈Cc∞(R) supported on [−1,1], with 0≤ψ≤1 and ψ(0)=1, and use the Fourier convention ψ^(ξ):=∫Re2πiξtψ(t) dt. For a doubly degenerate point (u,v) with u,v≥1, use F_uv(x,y)=sum_{σ,τ=±1} psi(b(σx-u))psi(b(τy-v)), b=4. It selects only (u,v) among all dd atoms in the quadrant. Its Fourier transform is SF_uv=8 b^-2 cos(4pi xu)cos(4pi yv) psi-hat(2x/b)psi-hat(2y/b). Since ρ is tempered, the sum of the absolute values of its coefficients against the last Schwartz product is a finite constant independent of (u,v). Fourier self-duality therefore bounds ∣duv∣ by that constant plus the absolute non-dd mass in the bump square. Summing over 1≤u,v≤R, every non-dd atom lies in at most one such square (their centers have spacing 1/2, their radii are 1/4, and the bump vanishes at its boundary). The dd strips u<1 or v<1 cost O(R2) by step 1.2. Hence V_dd(R)≤C R^2+C[V_gg(R+1)+V_dg(R+1)+V_gd(R+1)]. It suffices to prove Vdg(R),Vgd(R)=O(R2).

Set A={γμ:∫γ dμ≠0}. If μ≠0, density of the evaluation characters in [F14] shows A≠∅. Its weak-star closure C is compact: it lies in the norm-M dual ball, compact by [F5], and is closed. It does not contain 0, since evaluation at the constant function 1 takes values in the closed finite set of nonzero integers of modulus at most M. The norm is weak-star lower semicontinuous, so it attains a minimum on C at some ν≠0. Whenever ∫η dν≠0, the modulation ην lies in C: if γiμ→ν, then ∫ηγi dμ converges to the nonzero integer ∫η dν, and hence eventually equals it, so ηγiμ∈A. The set B={ην:∫η dν≠0} is therefore contained in C. If B had an accumulation point, [1.1] applied to ν would give a point of C with norm strictly below the minimum. Thus B is finite, since every infinite subset of a compact Hausdorff space has an accumulation point. Let H be the closed subgroup of G generated by supp⁡ν. Two modulations of ν agree exactly when their characters restrict equally to H. Therefore only finitely many restricted evaluation characters η∈Γ∣H have ν^H(η)≠0. Each such Fourier coefficient is an integer, because η is the restriction of some γ∈Γ and ν is supported on H. If these distinct characters are η1,…,ηs, put nj=ν^H(ηj)∈Z and ν0=∑j=1snjηjmH. Haar orthogonality shows that ν0 and ν have identical Fourier coefficients on every character in Γ∣H; their difference integrates to zero against the uniformly dense span from [F14]. By [F4], representing measures are unique, so ν=ν0. Thus ν is a nonzero finite integer combination of evaluation characters times Haar measure on H, and is absolutely continuous with respect to mH. For this proof, a canonical measure on H means a finite sum ∑jnjηjmH with distinct restricted evaluation characters ηj and integers nj. This argument uses only the canonical evaluation characters; it does not assume that every abstract character of H extends to G.

Assume R is an integer, sufficiently large; bounded R and nonintegral R follow by enlargement. Fix an occupied dg point (u,v) with 2≤u,v≤R. Put b=R3 and, for 1≤n≤R and a freely variable h>0, set G_uv(x,y)=cos(4pi h(y-v))psi(b(x-u))psi(b(y-v)), F_uv(x,y)=sum_{σ,τ=±1} sum_{s=0,1;t=-1,0,1} (-1)^s c_t G_uv(σx-sn,τy-t), c_0=1, c_1=c_-1=-1/2. Direct finite Fourier expansion yields SF_uv(x,y)=16b^-2 sin(2pi nx)sin(2pi(2u+n)x)psi-hat(2x/b) cos(4pi yv)sin^2(2pi y) [psi-hat(2(y-h)/b)+psi-hat(2(y+h)/b)]. The transform vanishes whenever either coordinate is degenerate. On the primal side, only positive reflection signs can meet the spectrum. The t=±1 squares contain no integer-spin point: write v=m/2 with m a nonsquare integer. Then dist(2v,Z)≥1/(2m+1)≥c/R, whereas varying a point within a square of radius R−3 changes its spin by O(R−2). At the t=0 square, write an atom as (u+sn+ξ,v+η) with ∣ξ∣,∣η∣≤R−3. The center has integer spin because u2−v2∈Z and 2un+n2∈Z; every occupied atom has integer spin by A2. Thus the correction 2(u+sn)ξ-2vη+ξ^2-η^2 is an integer. Since u,v,n≤R and ∣ξ∣,∣η∣≤R−3, its absolute value is at most 6R−2+2R−6<1 for sufficiently large R; it is therefore zero. If either perturbed coordinate is degenerate, its displacement is zero (the square is much narrower than half-integer spacing), and the equality then forces both displacements to vanish. Every other occupied atom in that square is gg. Thus exactly d_uv-d_(u+n,v) =-sum_gg d_xy sum_s(-1)^s G_uv(x-sn,y)+sum_gg d_xy SF_uv(x,y). To choose n, multiply the difference by sign⁡(duv), average 1≤n≤R, and telescope du+n,v=Du+n,v−Du+n−1,v. Summing over occupied dg points in the indicated box gives (1/R)sum_n sum_occupied |d_uv-d_(u+n,v)| ≥V_dg(R)-C R^2. Indeed the error is bounded by (1/R)∑0≤u≤2R,0≤v≤R,dgDuv=O(R2), using step 1.2. The omitted strips also cost O(R2). Choose one n attaining this average, and put euv=sign⁡(duv−du+n,v). The primal gg error, summed over (u,v), is O(R2): different dg centers are separated in u by 1/2 or in v by c/R, hence each gg atom meets at most one square for each s; all these atoms lie in [0,2R+1]2. Its coefficients have absolute value at most one, uniformly in h. Since psi-hat is Schwartz, the Fourier term consequently gives V_dg(R)≤C R^2+C b^-2 sum_gg |d_xy| (1+x/b)^-5 (1+|y-h|/b)^-5 |Psi(x,y)|, Psi(x,y)=sum_occupied e_uv sin(2pi(2u+n)x)cos(4pi vy). Here and below constants are uniform in h. The elementary bound ∣Ψ∣≤Vdg(R) uses integer degeneracies: every occupied atom has ∣duv∣≥1. Psi is 1-periodic in x.

If ν∈A, then ν=γμ for some evaluation character γ; modulation does not change support, so μ is supported on the same H. The finite Haar expansion in [2.3] then shows that μ=γ‾ν is canonical with integer Fourier coefficients, so this stage terminates without another extraction. Otherwise ν is an accumulation point of A. Apply the dichotomy [2.1] on H. Since ν∣H=ν is a nonzero Haar-absolutely-continuous measure by [2.3], the singular alternative is impossible; hence ν=η(μ∣H) for some restricted evaluation character η. Therefore μ1:=μ∣H=η‾ν is a nonzero finite Haar expansion with integer coefficients. Its Fourier coefficients on G are integers: each restricted evaluation character in the expansion pairs orthogonally with any other such restriction. The remainder μ−μ1=μ∣G∖H is mutually singular with μ1, so ∥μ−μ1∥=∥μ∥−∥μ1∥≤∥μ∥−1, because a nonzero integer Fourier coefficient of μ1 has modulus at least 1. The remainder retains integer Fourier coefficients. Repeat the same construction; every nonzero remainder has norm at least 1, so after at most ⌊∥μ∥⌋ extractions the remainder is zero. Thus μ is a finite sum of canonical components. The Fourier transform on the evaluation characters of ηmH is exactly the coset indicator 1v0+H⊥, where v0 represents η and H⊥={v∈E:χv∣H=1}. This proves the needed integer-Fourier-measure result for the Bohr group [F14] and its closed subgroups, without invoking a general idempotent-measure theorem.

Take h=B l b for l=1,...,L, B≥1. The rectangle estimate Vgg(X,Y)≤CXY gives sum_{l≤L}sum_gg |d_xy|(1+x/b)^-3(1+|y/b-Bl|)^-3 ≤C LB b^2. For completeness, summing the second factor in l is bounded by C(1+max(y/b−BL,0))−2. This follows by comparison of the decreasing tail with its integral, while on y/b≤BL the separated centers give a bounded sum. Subdivide x at 2i b and y at 2j LBb; rectangle growth bounds each shell, and the series ∑i2−2i ∑j2−j converges. This proves the stated estimate with constants independent of B,L. At least half the l therefore satisfy the same inner sum ≤C B b2. Call these good. In step 3.1's Fourier sum discard the region ∣y−Blb∣>Bb/4: two unused decay powers give its bound C B−1 Vdg(R). Fix B large enough to absorb this into the left hand side. On the remaining region, periodicity in x and the good-height bound give constants c,δ>0, independent of R,l, such that 2delta V_dg(R)≤cR^2+|Psi(x_l,y_l)|, 0≤x_l≤1, |y_l-Blb|≤Bb/4, for at least half the positive integers l. More precisely the finite-L pigeonhole estimate yields at least L/2 good indices among the first L, sufficient for every limiting lower-density assertion that follows. The derivatives satisfy ∣Ψx∣≤6π R Vdg(R), ∣Ψy∣≤4π R Vdg(R). On a square of half-side delta/(100R) about each (xl,yl), interpreted modulo 1 horizontally, therefore ∣Ψ∣≥δ Vdg(R)−cR2. The squares are disjoint because distinct selected heights differ by at least Bb/2. Their lower area proportion in [0,1]×[0,T], as T tends to infinity, is at least c1R−5. This is a genuine lower bound, with fixed positive c1, despite the possibly very large value of R.

Write u=k/2, v=j s/2 with s>1 squarefree and j>0. These are forced by integer spin. Then Psi(x,y)=sum_s Phi_s(x,sqrt(s)y), Phi_s(x,z)=sum_(k,j) e_(k/2,j sqrt(s)/2) sin(2pi(k+n)x)cos(2pi jz). For fixed x, equip the finite product torus indexed by the occurring squarefree s with product Haar probability and let Xs be its coordinate variables; they are independent and individually uniform on R/Z. The terms Φs(x,Xs) are independent, mean zero, and satisfy |Phi_s|≤C R^2, sum_s E Phi_s^2≤C' R V_dg(R). The first inequality counts at most O(R2) pairs (k,j). For the second, orthogonality of cosines gives (1/2)∑s,j(∑kesin)2; Cauchy-Schwarz bounds each inner square by O(R) times its number of occupied k. The total number of occupied pairs is at most Vdg(R). Distinct squarefree square roots are rationally independent. One elementary proof places them in the multiquadratic field generated by the finitely many occurring primes; independent sign changes of prime square roots give distinct characters of its elementary abelian Galois group, and character orthogonality isolates every squarefree monomial coefficient. Here is the needed degree induction: after adjoining the first r prime square roots, the rational numbers that have a square root in the extension have square classes generated by those r primes. For the next prime p, unique factorization therefore shows p is not already present. If (a+bp)2 is rational, comparison of the two basis components forces ab=0. Thus its rational square class either already belonged to the previous list or is p times one that did. This proves the assertion and the quadratic degree increase by induction. Each independent prime sign change is now an automorphism of the resulting field, proving the character-orthogonality argument above. Continuous flow y mapsto(symod1)s consequently equidistributes: integrate each nonconstant torus character explicitly, obtaining limit zero, and approximate continuous functions uniformly by finite trigonometric polynomials. After integration in x, this applies to any continuous function of Psi. Here is the exponential inequality used, including its proof. If independent mean-zero real Yi satisfy ∣Yi∣≤a and sum E Yi2≤σ2, then for t>0 P(|sum Y_i|≥t)≤2 exp[-sigma^2/a^2 h(at/sigma^2)], h(u)=(1+u)log(1+u)-u. For λ>0, the Taylor series and ∣Yi∣k≤ak−2Yi2 bound E exp⁡(λYi) by exp[(E Yi2/a2)(exp⁡(λa)−1−λ a)]. Multiply expectations, apply Markov, and minimize at exp⁡(λa)=1+at/σ2. Apply the same bound to −Yi. The exponent is decreasing as σ2 increases, so an upper variance bound is legitimate. Set V=Vdg(R), a=CR2, σ2=C′RV, t=δ V/2−cR2. If V≤(4c/δ)R2 there is nothing to prove. Otherwise t≥δ V/4. The formula and h(u)≥(u/2)log⁡ u imply, for large R, P(|sum_s Phi_s(x,X_s)|≥delta V/2-cR^2) ≤C_2 exp[-c_2(delta V/R^2-2c)log R], uniformly in x. To pass from equidistribution to the level-set area, use a continuous even majorant equal to 1 for ∣z∣≥δ V-cR2 and zero for ∣z∣<δ V/2−cR2. The limiting proportion where ∣Ψ∣≥δ V-cR2 is bounded by the last probability. Combining this upper bound with step 4.1's lower bound c1R−5 and taking logarithms gives V≤C3R2. The gd argument is identical with coordinates exchanged; step 2.2 now gives Vdd(R)=O(R2). Therefore |rho|(B_R)≤C R^2. This closes the sharp-density prerequisite from precisely the target hypotheses, without positivity of the quadrant multiplicity coefficients and without treating the whole spectral measure as positive.

Define the Bohr compactification concretely as the compact group of all homomorphisms from the additive group R2 with discrete topology to U(1), a closed subgroup of the product U(1)R2. Its evaluation characters χv, indexed by v in R2, separate points and are closed under products and conjugation, so their span is uniformly dense in its continuous functions. They are all its characters: a different character would be Haar-orthogonal to this dense span. The canonical continuous map b sends x to the homomorphism v mapsto exp⁡(4πi(v1x1−v2x2)). Apply the construction to 4ρ, whose atoms have integer coefficients. Choose an even compactly supported smooth phi that equals 1 on a neighborhood of 0, and let n increase to infinity; define ρn=(xmapstoϕ(nx))∗4ρ, where * denotes convolution on R2. For ϕn(x)=ϕ(nx), changing variables gives Sϕn(x)=n−2(Sϕ)(x/n). For T∈S′ and ϕn∈Cc∞, testing against a Schwartz function and applying Fubini gives S(ϕn∗T)=12(Sϕn)(ST) under the normalization of S in [1.2]. Hence Sρn=(1/(2n2))(Sϕ)(⋅/n)S(4ρ), where the Schwartz factor multiplies the measure. Since S(4ρ)=4ρ, its total variation is bounded by (2/n2) integral |Sphi(x/n)| d∣ρ∣(x). The quadratic bound ∣ρ∣(BR)=O(R2) from [5.1] and dyadic shells show that this integral is O(n2): the ball ∣x∣≤n contributes O(n2), and on 2j n≤∣x∣≤2j+1n Schwartz decay contributes O(n22−2j) after choosing four decay powers. Thus ||S ρn∣∣TV≤C uniformly for n≥1. The functional Ln(F)=2 integral (F composed with b) d(Sρn) on the Bohr compactification therefore has uniformly bounded norm. On the character χ−v, Ln equals ρn(v)=(S2ρn)(−v)=∫ phi(n(v-x)) d(4ρ)(x). Since 4ρ is locally finite and phi has compact support, for each fixed v and all sufficiently large n only x=v contributes; ϕ(0)=1, so Ln(χ−v)=4ρ({v}) eventually. Finite linear combinations of evaluation characters are uniformly dense by [F14]. For each such polynomial the values Ln stabilize, since it uses only finitely many fixed frequencies; their limit defines a linear functional L on the polynomial algebra with ∣L(P)∣≤C∣∣P∣∣∞. Density extends L uniquely to a bounded functional on C(G), and [F4] represents it by a finite regular Borel measure mu. Its Fourier coefficients are exactly the integers 4ρ({v}). The locally proved integer-Fourier-measure theorem says these coefficients are a finite sum of integer multiples of coset indicators in Rdisc2. They take only finitely many values since ∣μ−hat∣≤∣∣μ∣∣. For each nonzero value k, its level set is in the coset ring (finite intersections/complements of the finitely many coset indicators); it is locally finite by the assumed spectrum. The existing proved lemma lem-cft-r5-discrete-elements-of-coset-ring replaces it by a finite Boolean combination of discrete cosets. Inclusion-exclusion converts its indicator to a finite integer linear combination of discrete coset indicators. Summing over the finitely many k gives a finite lattice-comb expansion. Here a generalized comb means a finite complex linear combination of measures ∑x∈a+Lδx, where L≤R2 is a discrete subgroup and a∈R2; its rank is the rank of L, which is 0, 1, or 2. A rank-two lattice is a discrete subgroup spanning R2. No converse or unproved multiplicity assertion is being inserted at this interface.

Use the Lorentzian pairing ⟨x,y⟩L:=2(x1y1−x2y2) and norm ∥x∥L2:=⟨x,x⟩L=2(x12−x22), so the spin condition from step 1.2 is exactly ∥x∥L2∈2Z. For a lattice L, define its Lorentzian dual by L∨:={y:⟨x,y⟩L∈Z for all x∈L}. Two rank-two lattices are commensurate when their intersection has finite index in each. A lattice is even when ∥x∥L2∈2Z for every lattice vector and unimodular when its Gram determinant has absolute value one. Split the finite generalized-comb expansion as ρ=ρfull+ρlow, where the first sum has rank-two lattice cosets and the second has ranks zero or one. By [F15] after an invertible linear change of coordinates, the Fourier transform of a full-rank lattice comb is an atomic dual-lattice comb. For a rank-r<2 comb, apply the same Poisson formula in a basis of its rank-r span; its transform has a discrete comb in the transformed span and Lebesgue measure in a positive-dimensional transverse direction, with a phase from the coset translation, so it has no point masses (rank zero gives a smooth density). The original ρ and ρfull are atomic, hence ρlow is atomic. Since Sρ=ρ, also Sρlow=ρ−Sρfull is atomic, while the rank calculation makes it atomless. Therefore Sρlow=0; injectivity of S (its square is reflection) gives ρlow=0. Group full-rank lattices by commensurability and replace each class by its finite-index intersection lattice. Thus ρ=∑c ρc, each ρc a finite sum of cosets of one rank-two lattice Λc. Different classes intersect only on finitely many rank-zero or rank-one cosets. By combining identical cosets within a class, every coset of nonzero coefficient belongs to the actual support except for such lower-rank intersections. For v,w in Λc choose x in an occupied coset such that x,x+v,x+w,x+v+w all avoid those intersections. Existence follows because a rank-two lattice is not covered by finitely many cosets of rank at most one: in lattice coordinates, the box [−n,n]2 contains O(n2) points, while each such coset contains O(n). Spin quantization gives 2\langle v,w\rangle_L=||x+v+w||_L^2-||x+v||_L^2-||x+w||_L^2+||x||_L^2 in 2Z. Hence Λc is integral and commensurable with its dual. Symmetrize each class under joint inversion, which preserves its class and the total density. Δc=Sρc−ρc is supported both on finitely many cosets in that class and, since sum Δc=0, on finitely many lower-rank intersections. Restrict the finite generalized-comb expression to those intersections. Restriction of a lattice exponential to a sublattice is another lattice exponential, and finite inclusion-exclusion handles intersections; thus Δc is a finite sum of lower-rank generalized combs. But SΔc=−Δc, since ρc is inversion-even. The left side has no atoms and the right side is atomic, so Δc=0. Let K:={k∈R2:τkρc=ρc} be its full period group, where τk denotes translation by k, and let M be the subgroup generated by its support. Choose x∈supp⁡ρc. Then x+K⊆supp⁡ρc, which lies in a finite union of cosets of Λc; hence K is a subgroup of a discrete set and is discrete. It contains Λc, so it is a rank-two lattice. Because ρc is K-periodic, its Lorentzian Fourier transform is supported on K∨; self-duality Sρc=ρc gives supp⁡ρc⊆K∨, hence M⊆K∨. Also K⊆M, because both x and x+k belong to the support for every period k. Conversely, for k∈M∨, the Fourier multiplier x↦e2πi⟨x,k⟩L is 1 on supp⁡ρc⊆M, so Sρc is unchanged by translation by k. Fourier injectivity and Sρc=ρc show M∨⊆K. Dualizing M⊆K∨ gives K⊆M∨; hence K=M∨ and M=K∨. For any k∈K, choose x in a support coset of ρc avoiding the finite union of rank-at-most-one intersections both at x and at x+k; a rank-two K-coset is not covered by that union, so x,x+k∈supp⁡ρ. Since x∈M=K∨ and k∈K, ⟨x,k⟩L is integral; spin quantization gives ∥k∥L2∈2Z. For any y∈supp⁡ρc, the same rank-two-coset argument chooses a period k with y+k∈supp⁡ρ; since y∈M and k∈K, the same identity gives ∥y∥L2∈2Z. Thus K is even. The quotient G=M/K is finite. Define q(x+K):=∥x∥L2/2(modZ): if k∈K, then q(x+k)−q(x)=⟨x,k⟩L+∥k∥L2/2∈Z, since M=K∨ and K is even. The induced bilinear pairing on G is nondegenerate because K=M∨, so (G,q) is a finite quadratic module. A subset is isotropic if q vanishes on it. The support of ρc modulo K is isotropic and generates G, which is generated by at most two elements. Write ρc=∑x∈Gf(x)δx+K. Its self-duality is finite Fourier invariance f(y)=|G|^-1/2 sum_x f(x)exp(2pi i(x,y)_L), and T-invariance says f is supported on q(x)=∣∣x∣∣L2/2=0 in Q/Z. A generating set of isotropic elements can be replaced by two isotropic generators. To see this, decompose into p-primary groups. Orthogonality of distinct primary components follows by coprimality of their orders. Isotropy splits into its primary components because q(xp) has p-power order. On Gp/pGp, of dimension at most two, choose two images of isotropic generators forming a basis, and lift them to isotropic elements. They generate Gp: if their subgroup H has Gp=H+pGp, iterate this equality until prGp=0. Sum the chosen first and second generators over primes. Their sums are isotropic and generate G by the Chinese remainder projections. Call them e1,e2 and λ=⟨ e1,e2⟩L. Nondegeneracy shows ord⁡(e1)=ord⁡(e2)=ord⁡(λ)=N: ord⁡(λ)ei pairs trivially with both generators; conversely ord⁡(ei)λ=0. A relation ae1+be2=0 pairs with e1,e2 to force N|a,N|b. Rescaling e1 by a unit gives G=(Z/N)^2, q(a,b)=ab/N, ((a,b),(c,d))=(ad+bc)/N. (The case N=1 is included.) Define F(a,b)=∑w f(a,w)exp⁡(2πibw/N). Direct finite summation turns S and T into F(b,−a)=F(a,b) and F(a,a+b)=F(a,b). Their orbits are classified by gcd(a,b,N). For the converse orbit assertion, divide by that gcd and choose integral representatives a',b' coprime: one can keep a' fixed and change b' by a multiple of N' to avoid every prime divisor of a' not dividing N', by the Chinese remainder theorem; prime divisors of N' are already avoided by gcd⁡(a′,b′,N′)=1. If a′=0, first replace it by N'. Complete the coprime pair to an SL(2,Z) matrix by Bezout. Thus the orbit contains (g,0). The orbit-indicator basis can equivalently be replaced by the triangular basis 1g∣a,g∣b, g|N. Inverting the b-transform maps this basis to (1/g)1g∣a,(N/g)∣w. Therefore f is a linear combination of indicators of the isotropic order-N subgroups H_g=g(Z/N) x (N/g)(Z/N). The inverse images Lambda(g) of Hg in M are even self-dual lattices: isotropy gives evenness and Hg=Hg⊥ by nondegeneracy and equal orders. Every such lattice is a Narain lattice. Indeed an even unimodular rank-two Gram matrix [[2a,b],[b,2c]] of signature (1,1) has b2−4ac=1. Its quadratic polynomial has a rational zero (if a=0 there is already an evident zero), so the lattice has a primitive null vector e. Unimodularity gives f with (e,f)=1. Replace f by f-(f,f)e/2; this is integral, null, and still pairs to one with e. In the given ambient Lorentzian plane, the two null generators have form (R/2)(1,1) and (1/(2R))(1,-1), after signs and interchange. Thus the original density, after harmless separate sign symmetrization and R↔1/R, is a FINITE sum rho=sum_{R≥1} c_R rho_R.

Combine duplicate radii and omit zero coefficients. For R>1 choose a large prime ell and the lattice point with m=1,n=ell. Exclude the finitely many primes for which either R+ell/R or R-ell/R is an integer. Each sign condition excludes at most one prime: two such primes imply R=a/b rational in lowest terms; the integer equation a2±ell b2=kab gives b=1 and then the prime must equal the integer R>1. Exclude also ell=R2 and the finitely many primes R/R' or RR' for the other occurring radii. If the same unsigned point occurred at R', solving its two momentum equations, with either relative sign, gives mn=ell and hence either R=R′, R=ell R', R=1/R′, or R=ell/R′. The exclusions remove all but the identical radius. This point has two signed preimages, no half-integer momentum, and thus D=d=2cR. A3–A4 imply 2cR is a positive integer. For R=1 choose a prime ell larger than all occurring radii and inspect the quadrant multiplicity coefficient at (ell,0). If another radius contributes then mn=ell2 and R′2=n/m, whence R′=ell (or R′=1), excluded. Its coefficient is 2c1, hence 2c1 is an integer with either sign. Put mR=2cR. The vacuum gives ∑R mR=2, with mR>0 for R>1. The primary multiplicity at (1,0) is 1+m1. If this is positive, m1≥0 and the only decompositions of 2 into positive integers are one 2 or two 1s. They give a single ρR or an average of two distinct ρR. If D1,0=0, then m1=−1 and ∑R>1mR=3. The quadrant multiplicity coefficients at (k,0), k=2,3,4,5, are respectively m1+m2, m1+m3, m1+m2+m4, m1+m5: solve mn=k2,R2=n/m to obtain these possibilities. Cumulative positivity therefore gives m_2≥1, m_2+m_3≥2, 2m_2+m_3+m_4≥3, 2m_2+m_3+m_4+m_5≥4. If m2≥2, the remaining total mass is one at an arbitrary radius, giving (−ρ1+2ρ2+ρR)/2, R>1. If m2=1, then m3≥1. If m3=2, this is the tetrahedral solution. Otherwise m3=1 and one remaining unit is forced by the last two inequalities to be at radius4 or5. These are the octahedral and icosahedral solutions. This proves necessity of precisely the full six-family list. Here is also a direct converse positivity proof, without an appeal to existence of orbifold CFTs. Every Narain comb is Fourier invariant by Poisson summation, and is supported at integer spin. Here Poisson summation follows by periodizing a Schwartz function over the lattice: its uniformly convergent smooth Fourier series has coefficients equal to the Fourier transform at the dual lattice, divided by Euclidean covolume. Evaluation at zero is justified by absolute Fourier convergence. The Narain generators have Lorentzian pairing matrix [[0,1],[1,0]] and Euclidean covolume 1/2 (the Euclidean area of a fundamental parallelogram), so the exact comb formula is S δΛ=(1/(2covolEuclidean(Λ)))δΛ∨, and the lattice equals its Lorentzian dual. The factor 1/2 here is the normalization2 divided by the determinant4 of the Lorentzian pairing matrix. Thus all listed linear combinations therefore satisfy A1–A2 and converge absolutely. Every nonzero non-vacuum lattice point has at least the two signed preimages related by joint inversion. Thus half a lattice comb has integral quadrant multiplicity coefficients away from the origin. The displayed sums all have coefficient1 at the origin, so A3 and A5 hold. Outside the doubly-degenerate grid ρ1 has no support, so all remaining displayed terms are positive; their cumulative D are nonnegative there. It remains to verify doubly-degenerate positivity. Write j=P,k=bar P. For an integer N≥1, the contribution DN(j,k) of ρN is zero if j and k have different half-integer parity. If their parity agrees, then D_N(j,k)=#{(a,b): a=-j,-j+1,...,j; b=-k,-k+1,...,k; a+b in NZ}. Indeed signed lattice momenta in the cumulative rectangle are precisely these weights: a+b=mN and N(a−b)=n; the second condition is automatic when a,b have the same half-integer parity. This count includes the origin with its correct single multiplicity. Equivalently DN is the fixed-space dimension of the cyclic rotation subgroup of order N on the tensor product of spin-j and spin-k SU(2) representations under the diagonal action. These representations can be constructed explicitly as the homogeneous polynomials of degrees 2j and 2k in two variables, with the usual substitution action of the two-by-two matrices of SU(2); the diagonal rotation lift diag(exp⁡(it/2),exp⁡(−it/2)) has exactly the weights a and b appearing in the count. Because j+k is integral, the central element acts trivially and the tensor product descends to SO(3). For the orbifold combination, 2D2−D1 is the character of the π rotation on that tensor product. It is 0 when j,k are both strictly half-integral, and equals (−1)j+k when both are integral. For arbitrary real R, DR is a nonnegative integer because its quadrant multiplicity coefficients are nonnegative; for integral j,k it is odd and at least1, since its cumulative rectangle contains the single origin and every other lattice point is paired by joint inversion. For strictly half-integral j,k, or mismatched parity, DR is even. Hence (DR+2D2−D1)/2 is always a nonnegative integer. For the exceptional combinations use the actual rotation groups of the regular tetrahedron, cube and icosahedron. Their element counts by angle are respectively tetrahedron: 1 identity, 3 at pi, 8 at 2pi/3; cube: 1 identity, 9 at pi, 8 at 2pi/3, 6 at pi/2; icosahedron: 1 identity,15 at pi,20 at 2pi/3,12 at 2pi/5,12 at 4pi/5. These counts follow directly by their vertex/face/edge axes: the tetrahedron has four vertex-face axes of order3 and three opposite-edge axes of order2; the cube has three face axes of order4, four vertex axes of order3 and six edge axes of order2; the icosahedron has six vertex axes of order5, ten face axes of order3 and fifteen edge axes of order2. Averaging a finite group action is an idempotent projection, so its trace is a nonnegative integer. Cyclic averaging on the same tensor representation gives exactly dim fixed_tet=(-D_1+D_2+2D_3)/2, dim fixed_oct=(-D_1+D_2+D_3+D_4)/2, dim fixed_ico=(-D_1+D_2+D_3+D_5)/2. For example D2=(χ(0)+χ(π))/2 and D3=(χ(0)+2χ(2π/3))/3; substituting yields coefficients1/12,3/12,8/12 in the tetrahedral case. The other two identities follow by the displayed element counts, including the two distinct order5 angles. Different half-integer parities have DN=0 throughout. Thus all exceptional primary multiplicities are nonnegative integers. Single Narain and average solutions have nonnegative D immediately; their integrality was already checked by signed pairing. This establishes sufficiency of precisely the full six-family list, without full-CFT uniqueness or division by any nonphysical signed multiplicity.
