Abstract

Let Θ=(θ1,θ2,θ3)R3Θ= (θ_1,θ_2,θ_3)\in \mathbb{R}^3. Suppose that 1,θ1,θ2,θ31,θ_1,θ_2,θ_3 are linearly independent over Z\mathbb{Z}. For Diophantine exponents α(Θ)=sup{γ>0:lim supt+tγψΘ(t)<+}, α(Θ) = \sup \{γ>0:\,\,\, \limsup_{t\to +\infty} t^γψ_Θ(t) <+\infty \} , β(Θ)=sup{γ>0:lim inft+tγψΘ(t)<+}β(Θ) = \sup \{γ>0:\,\,\, \liminf_{t\to +\infty} t^γψ_Θ(t) <+\infty\} we prove β(Θ)1/2(α(Θ)/1α(Θ)+α(Θ)/1α(Θ))2+4α(Θ)/1α(Θ))α(Θ) β(Θ) \ge {1/2} ({α(Θ)}/{1-α(Θ)} +\sqrt{{α(Θ)}/{1-α(Θ)})^2 +{4α(Θ)}/{1-α(Θ)}}) α(Θ)

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v2

Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

01Statements2 reported findingsCorrect

The lower bound for the ordinary exponent is correct. The endpoint α(Θ)=1\alpha(\Theta)=1 needs one local domain clarification but changes no mathematical conclusion.

Theorem 5Correct

Three-dimensional exponent bound

Page 3 · Theorem 5 · arXiv:1009.0987v2

For 1/3α(Θ)<11/3\leq\alpha(\Theta)<1, the best-approximation argument proves β(Θ)α(Θ)g3(α(Θ))\beta(\Theta)\geq\alpha(\Theta)g_3(\alpha(\Theta)). The defining parameter bb satisfies b2+α1αbα1α=0b^2+\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}b-\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}=0, which is exactly the identity needed in both determinant alternatives.

Theorem 5 endpointMinor formal correction

The case α(Θ)=1\alpha(\Theta)=1 should be stated separately

Pages 2–3 · definition of g3g_3 and Theorem 5 · arXiv:1009.0987v2

The function g3g_3 is defined only on [1/3,1)[1/3,1), whereas Theorem 5 does not exclude α(Θ)=1\alpha(\Theta)=1. State the displayed formula for α(Θ)<1\alpha(\Theta)<1 and add that α(Θ)=1\alpha(\Theta)=1 gives β(Θ)=+\beta(\Theta)=+\infty, or extend the right-hand side by its value ++\infty. The endpoint conclusion follows by applying the already proved bound to every α<1\alpha<1 and letting α1\alpha\uparrow1. This is a verified local domain repair and affects no later result.

02Proofs3 reported findingsCorrect

The two- and three-dimensional lattice estimates and the final alternative argument are correct and complete.

Lemma 1Correct and complete

Covolume estimate in a two-dimensional block

Pages 4–5 · Lemma 1 and Equations (6)–(10) · arXiv:1009.0987v2

The section of the best-approximation cylinder has two independent boundary lattice points and no nonzero interior lattice point. The lower area estimate and Minkowski's theorem therefore give the claimed two-sided comparison ζlxl+1ΘdetΛ\zeta_lx_{l+1}\asymp_\Theta\det\Lambda.

Lemma 2Correct and complete

Three-dimensional projection determinant

Pages 5–6 · Lemma 2 and Equations (11)–(15) · arXiv:1009.0987v2

The cofactor vector is orthogonal to the three-dimensional rational subspace. Equations (14) and (15) force one of the three coordinate-projection determinants to be at least the stated fixed multiple of the simplex volume, and integrality connects that volume to the primitive lattice covolume.

Proof of Theorem 5Correct and complete

The two determinant alternatives yield the same exponent

Pages 6–7 · Equations (17)–(20) and proof of Theorem 5 · arXiv:1009.0987v2

The two primitive normals are independent in Λ\Lambda^\perp, so their norm product dominates detΛ=detΛ\det\Lambda^\perp=\det\Lambda. In the first alternative the exponent is α(1α)b\frac{\alpha}{(1-\alpha)b}; in the second it is b+α(1b)1α\frac{b+\alpha(1-b)}{1-\alpha}. The quadratic identity for bb makes both equal to g3(α)g_3(\alpha), after which ζlxl+1α\zeta_l\leq x_{l+1}^{-\alpha} supplies the claimed ordinary exponent.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
