Factorial absorption after the fixed-class inner estimate #
This file formalizes the numerical factorial step between paper (5.88) and
(5.89). For one (N,X) fiber, write M = m_{N,X} and let S be the
number of skipped incoming edges in that fiber. The two square-root factors
√(X^M) · √((XY)^(M-S))
are the algebraic envelope of
(X Y^(1/2))^M (XY)^(-S/2). The first is absorbed by the leaf
factorials, using X ≤ m_l; the second is absorbed by (M-S)!, using
XY ≤ M and the exponential series estimate A^B ≤ exp(A) B!.
Square roots commute with natural powers on nonnegative real numbers.
This elementary normalization lemma is kept local to the single-scale ledger because the paper writes half-powers while the implementation uses ordinary powers of square roots.
The exact per-fiber factor printed after (5.88):
(X √Y)^M (XY)^(-S/2).
Because S is a natural number, the negative half-power is represented
without real-exponent bookkeeping as the S-th power of the inverse square
root. The next theorem proves that this literal form is exactly the
factorial envelope used below.
Instances For
The inverse-square-root encoding of (XY)^(-S/2) agrees with the literal
Real.rpow notation used at the paper-facing statement boundary.
The printed factor after (5.88) is exactly
√(X^M) √((XY)^(M-S)) when the fiber is active and no more than M
incoming edges are skipped.
The factor √(X^M) is absorbed by the product of leaf factorials at an
exponential cost. This is the quantitative form of m_l ∼ X needed here;
only the lower bound X ≤ m_l and the exact mass ledger are used.
Uniform factorial absorption used in the passage (5.88) → (5.89).
The explicit universal base is 2e; later paper constants may enlarge it.
Specialization to an active (N,X) fiber. This packages exactly the
m_l ∈ [X,2X) and XY ≤ m_{N,X} ledgers from (5.75), so the final
single-scale assembly does not need to repeat the factorial arithmetic.
Active-fiber specialization of the exact printed-factor normalization.
Global (N,X) factorial aggregation #
The product of square-root factorials is bounded by the square-root factorial of the total mass. This is the square-root form of the multinomial divisibility ledger.
Square-root factorial deficits aggregate across a finite partition. The pointwise condition is what prevents truncated natural subtraction from losing mass.
The deficit factorials from all active (N,X) fibers combine into the
single global (m-s)! factor in (5.89).
Multiplying the per-fiber bounds gives precisely one exponential factor, one global deficit factorial, and one factorial for every original leaf. This is the complete numerical passage from the product following (5.88) to the factorial part of (5.89).
Paper-facing form of the global factorial absorption: the left side is the
literal product of (X √Y)^M (XY)^(-S/2) from the sentence after (5.88).
The same result with the global ledgers ∑ M_{N,X}=m and
∑ S_{N,X}=s rewritten exactly as they appear in (5.89).
