Uniform scale bounds for realizing Hepp trees #
Paper Lemma 5.5 requires the marks of a realizing tree to satisfy
1 < N_v ≲ M. The lower bound is part of HeppMarking; this file proves
the uniform upper bound N_v ≤ 4 M directly from admissibility in the box
[-M, M]⁴, and packages it with the general realizing-tree construction.
Every branch scale of an admissible embedding in [-M,M]⁴ is at most
4M. This is the explicit N_v ≲ M part of paper Lemma 5.5.
Choose two children of v. Connectedness supplies a nontrivial link between
two (possibly intermediate) distinct children, hence leaves below those two
children. Their LCA is v; admissible separation gives N_v / 2 as a lower
bound for their distance, while the box gives the upper bound 2M.
Paper-facing wrapper around the greedy realizing-tree construction:
besides validity, realization, and the exact leaf count, every branch mark is
bounded by 4M.
