1. THEOREM STATEMENTS (verbatim content, re-typeset)

Zeros: ρ = β + iγ, multiplicity m_ρ ≥ 1. Counting functions on 0 ≤ T₁ < T₂:

Symbol Definition
N(T₁,T₂) Σ_{T₁<γ≤T₂} m_ρ (zeros with multiplicity)
N_d(T₁,T₂) #{ρ : T₁<γ≤T₂} (distinct zeros)
N*_0(T₁,T₂) distinct zeros on the line β = ½
N^s_0(T₁,T₂) simple zeros on the line
N_0, N^s on-line (w/ mult.), simple (anywhere→line)

Chain of trivial inequalities: N^s_0 ≤ N*_0 ≤ N_0 ≤ N and N^s_0 ≤ N^s ≤ N_d ≤ N.

Riemann–von Mangoldt: N(T,2T) = (T/2π)(log(T/2π) + 2 log 2) − T/2π + O(log T).

Theorem A. As T→∞: (i) N^s_0(T,2T) ≥ (2/3 − o(1)) N(T,2T) [simple & on-line] (ii) N_d(T,2T) ≥ (5/6 − o(1)) N(T,2T) [distinct] With Montgomery–Taylor window ψ_MT: constants become 2 − c⁻¹_MT = 0.67250… and ½(3 − c⁻¹_MT) = 0.83625…, where c⁻¹_MT := ½ + (1/√2) cot(1/√2). ψ_MT is optimal among windows ψ (certificates 2−R(ψ)) [CCLM17, Cor. 14]. Ceiling over ALL bandwidth-one certificates ≈ 0.682 (§7.2). A fortiori same bound for N*_0, N_0, N^s. Also holds for (0,T) with rate O(log log T / log T) (Remark 6.1). Prior unconditional records: 5/12 [PRZZ20], 0.6603 [Wu15]. Under RH: 0.6792 via SDP with form-factor positivity outside [−1,1] [CGdL20].

Theorem B. Theorem A verbatim for L(s,χ), χ any fixed primitive Dirichlet character.

Arithmetic inputs (complete list): Weil explicit formula; Riemann–von Mangoldt + N(t,t+1) ≪ log t; Stirling for Γ′/Γ; Chebyshev–Mertens for Σ_{n≤X} Λ(n)² and Σ Λ(n)²/n; Montgomery–Vaughan inequality for {log n: n≤X}, X ≤ T. NO mollifier, zero-density estimate, or zero-free region.

2. PROOF SKELETON (chain 1.2 — the spine to reproduce in 0.2b–0.2d)

Weil form W(f,g) = Σ_ρ m_ρ f̂(γ_ρ) ḡ(γ_ρ), γ_ρ = (ρ − ½)/i. Restrict to d ~ N(T,2T) modulated copies of window ψ, equispaced in [T,2T] → d×d real symmetric matrix G̃, normalized so an isolated simple on-line zero contributes 1 to tr G̃.

Main chain (1.2): with P₁ = simple-on-line part of P, Q′ := G̃ − P₁: N^s_0 + o(N) ≥ rank P₁ ≥ 4 tr G̃ − 2N − ‖G̃‖²_HS = (2 − R(ψ) − o(1)) N. First ineq = Prop 4.1; second = (L) + tr P₁ + 2n₊(Q′) ≤ N from (Z); equality = (Z),(P). ψ=ψ₀ → Thm A(i); ψ=ψ_MT → 0.6725. For (ii): rearranging → 3s₁ + 4(s₂+p) ≥ (4−R(ψ))N; subtract s₁ + 2s₂ + 2p ≤ N → 2(s₁+s₂+p) ≥ (3−R(ψ))N → N_d ≥ s₁+s₂+p ≥ ½(3−R(ψ)−o(1))N.

(1.1) is the matrix form of m² ≥ 2m−1; with simple zeros on the rank side and multiple ones at flat charge 4 it recovers m² ≥ 3m−2.

3. NOTATION & DEFINITIONS MAP (§1.7, §2)

4. KEY LEMMAS ALREADY SEEN (pp. 1–5)

5. SECTION MAP FOR REMAINING SUB-STAGES

Sub-stage Paper sections Content
0.2b §2 (done pp.3–5) + §4 zero side (Z): Props 4.1–4.3
0.2c §5 prime side (P): Lemma 5.6, Thm 5.7, R(ψ)
0.2d §3 + §6 Lemma 3.1–3.2 (linear algebra), chain assembly
0.2e §7 + App. A sharpness/ceiling 0.682, GS25/26 comparison, Lean

6. FIRST-PASS OBSERVATIONS (adversarial pre-notes)

  1. The whole proof needs only tr G̃, ‖G̃‖²_HS, and block inertia — a 3-number certificate. §7.2 sharpness applies to THIS data; escaping the ceiling needs genuinely new data (higher moments or support > 1).
  2. X = T/(2π) exactly at the Montgomery–Vaughan edge X ≤ T; the diagonal domination on the prime side is what forces bandwidth one.
  3. The normalization a = ∫ψ makes tr G̃ ≈ N exact by Lemma 2.1 — the critical-density frame is doing the bookkeeping that RH used to do.
  4. Davenport–Heilbronn/Epstein insensitivity confirmed in §1.4: the method cannot see o(N) off-line zeros → any claimed RH proof must use DIFFERENT input. Sanity gate stays active.
