Proof-critical dependence graph

Submanifold-genericity of $\mathbb{R}^d$-actions and uniform multiplicative Diophantine approximation

Statement-restricted proof-dependence graph for the submanifold genericity theorems, the multiplicative Dani correspondence, the full-measure half of the Khintchine-type theorem, and Proposition 1.7. It includes the uncited cusp-volume input required on p. 28, its independent Schmidt 1957 proof repair, and two source-use failures: BEG20 is applied after dropping its strong-spectral-gap hypothesis, and BG23 is cited with the wrong theorem number.

Focal Theorem 2.3 restates BEG20 Theorem 1.1 and uses it as the mixing hypothesis in abstract Theorem 2.2. This edge is mathematically inapplicable at the focal theorem's printed scope because the focal statement drops BEG's strong-spectral-gap hypothesis.

Citation location: Focal Theorem 2.3 and proof of Theorem 1.3, PDF pp. 9–10; BEG20 Theorem 1.1, arXiv v2 p. 3Verification note: Research status: inapplicable at printed scope. Counterexample: take G=SL_3(R)×SL_3(R), a product of cocompact lattices, M a Cartan segment entirely in factor 1, and a nonconstant smooth φ depending only on factor 2. Every tM-average equals φ, not μ(φ). Repair by adding the full BEG strong-spectral-gap hypothesis or sufficient irreducibility assumptions.
  • Theorem 1.3 via Theorem 2.3 and Theorem 2.2Claims submanifold genericity and a quantitative rate for the Cartan action on G/Γ for every lattice in a semisimple group whose simple factors have real rank at least two.

The general multiple-equidistribution estimate verifies the focal mixing hypothesis for the compact U_{m,n}-orbit and is used again in Lemma 5.4 for the shrinking-annulus test functions.

Citation location: Focal Theorem 2.4, pp. 9–10, and Lemma 5.4, pp. 26–28; BG23 Theorem 1.3, printed pp. 213–214Verification note: Research status: verified with citation correction. The focal pinpoint `[BG23, Theorem 1.1]` is wrong. Theorem 1.1 is the special SL_{m+n}(Z) statement; the applicable general result is Theorem 1.3.
  • Theorem 1.4 via Theorem 2.4 and Theorem 2.2Gives submanifold genericity for Haar measure on a compact U_{m,n}-orbit in SL_{m+n}(R)/Γ.
  • Theorem 1.9, full-measure halfUses BG23 multiple equidistribution for shrinking cusp annuli and requires μ(Ω_t) ≍ exp(-(m+n)R(t)).

The focal configuration-space exhaustion is a Euclidean specialization of BG20 Proposition 6.2 and supplies the partition used in the h-th moment estimate.

The focal paper directly imports the ψ↔R construction and multiplicative Dani correspondence as Lemma 4.1 and Proposition 4.2.

Citation location: Focal pp. 17–19; FK arXiv:2211.04523v3 Lemma 4.1 and Proposition 4.4, pp. 13–15Verification note: Historical version choice is v3; v4 postdates focal v1.
  • Lemma 4.1 and Proposition 4.2Constructs R from ψ and gives the finite-scale multiplicative Dani correspondence used in Corollaries 4.3–4.5 and Theorems 1.8–1.9.

Rogers' primitive moment formulas provide the uncited cusp-volume estimate. For D=m+n and B_r=(-r,r)^D, they give μ{δ<r}=2^{D-1}ζ(D)^{-1}r^D+O_D(r^{2D}); subtracting radii e^{-R(t)} and e^{-R(t)-1} yields μ(Ω_t) ≍ e^{-DR(t)}.

Citation location: Missing at focal p. 28, where Lemma 5.3 is incorrectly credited; Rogers Theorems 4–5, printed pp. 251–253 and 279–284Verification note: Rogers supplies the exact statement used by the focal claim, but the VOR proof is defective. The Schmidt 1957 direct edge is required to make the proof chain valid.
  • Theorem 1.9, full-measure halfUses BG23 multiple equidistribution for shrinking cusp annuli and requires μ(Ω_t) ≍ exp(-(m+n)R(t)).

The focal page-28 cusp-annulus estimate needs primitive first and second moments for the sup-norm cube. Rogers states the required formula, but his printed proof inherits an invalid transfer step. Schmidt's independent arbitrary-Borel formula repairs that proof input; combined with the primitive Möbius decomposition, it yields μ{δ<r}=2^{D-1}ζ(D)^{-1}r^D+O_D(r^{2D}) for D=m+n≥3 and hence μ(Ω_t)≍e^{-DR(t)}.

Citation location: Uncited at focal p. 28; Schmidt 1957 Satz 2–3 and Lemma 4, printed pp. 273–276, together with the primitive decomposition displayed in Rogers 1955, pp. 279–282Verification note: This is a direct repair-source edge to the focal claim, not a historical citation edge to Rogers.

BEG cites Katok–Spatzier for passing from K-finite coefficient decay to exponential Sobolev decay for smooth vectors, the two-mixing base estimate of its higher-order induction.

Citation location: BEG arXiv v2 pp. 2–3, equation (1.3), citation [20]; Katok–Spatzier Theorem 3.1 and Corollary 3.2, printed pp. 140–142Verification note: Research status: source scope gap. Katok–Spatzier Corollary 3.2 only treats irreducible cocompact quotients and excludes SO(n,1)/SU(n,1), so that pinpoint alone does not justify BEG's full strong-spectral-gap setting. BEG also cites the broader matrix-coefficient literature, but gives no single fully matching source pinpoint here.
