Errata: 13 merged citations put Glimm-Jaffe Cor. 4.3.5 on p. 62 (it is on p. 63), and carry zero ratchet charges so no wave will reach them #4989

Description

@phasetr

Errata issue for already-merged prose. Thirteen tracked locations cite Glimm–Jaffe
§4.3 Corollary 4.3.5 (and its proof) at book page 62. Corollary 4.3.5, its statement
and its entire proof are on book page 63; page 62 carries Corollary 4.3.4. Two of the
thirteen are in the public tex/proof-guide.tex. The affected modules carry zero ratchet
charges
, and the wave mechanism of #4984 only visits charged files, so no future wave will
ever reach them
.

Found by dev-review round 2 of PR #4988 (wave 2/26) as finding R2-F4, and independently
re-verified here with a page-scoped extraction (the reviewer's list of 10 is extended to 13 + 1
by three further spellings the single-line 4.3.5/p.~62 patterns miss).

Ground truth: page-scoped extraction from the PDF

Verified against .self-local/refs/Glimm.Jaffe.P428.Quantum_Physics-A_Functional_Integral_Point_of_View.pdf
by extracting one page at a time, so a running head cannot be mistaken for a running foot
(the flat OCR text alone is ambiguous on exactly this point, and the two readings differ by a page):

PDF page first lines contains
77 4.3 ~4 Inequalities / 61
78 62 / 4 Correlation Inequalities and the Lee-Yang Theorem Corollary 4.3.4.
79 63 / 4.4 The FKG Inequality Corollary 4.3.5. and Dropping negative terms from the right (B2 odd) …
80 64 / 4 Correlation Inequalities and the Lee-Yang Theorem

Page 77 opening with 61 while carrying §4.3 material settles the head/foot question: the running
head sits at the top, and book page = PDF page − 16. So Corollary 4.3.5 and the whole of its
proof, including the quoted sentence "Dropping negative terms from the right"
, are on book p. 63.

One further location is imprecise rather than false and should be reviewed with them:

file line text
IsingModel/Inequalities/GHS/NPoint.lean 24 "(Glimm–Jaffe, §4.3, pp. 62–63) bounds an (n+2)-point correlation:" — the bound and its derivation are wholly on p. 63; the range needlessly includes the page of Cor 4.3.4

The fix in every case is the page number alone: p. 63 (p.~63 / p.\ 63 in the TeX).

Do NOT change these — they are correct

Two sites cite Corollary 4.3.4 at p. 62, which the extraction confirms is right:

  • IsingModel/Inequalities/GHS/NPoint.lean:18 — "Cor. 4.3.4 (Glimm–Jaffe, §4.3, p. 62) states the truncated 3-point …"
  • IsingModel/ContinuousSpin/Phi4.lean:186 — "Reference: Glimm–Jaffe, Corollary 4.3.4, p. 62. -/"

A blanket p. 62p. 63 sweep would break both. Any fix must be keyed on the corollary number.

Provenance, and why no gate and no wave can reach them

The repo currently disagrees with itself

PR #4988 (wave 2/26) corrected IsingModel/Concrete/LatticeGraphCorrelation/UniformMagCorrelationTrivialCor4_3_5.lean
(lines 7, 17, 36) to p. 63. That file's frozen scope is why the thirteen above were left alone.
Until they are fixed, main asserts both pages for the same corollary — and docs/index.md:1082 is
the progress-table row for correlationInfinite_cor_4_3_5_h0, the direct parent of the two theorems
just corrected.

Why PR #4988 did not just fix them

PR #4988's file set is frozen (#4984: "editing any of them requires amending this list first, with
the reason"). Silently widening a wave's scope to absorb an unrelated find would destroy the
pre-registration guarantee that makes the ratchet numbers meaningful. The find is therefore filed
rather than absorbed — the same disposition #4987 took for wave 1's analogous out-of-scope errata.

Disposition to decide (not self-authorized)

  1. One standalone errata PR for the fourteen sites (prose-only; the four Lean modules carry zero
    ratchet charges, so the pre-registered expectation is --check unchanged, which the PR body
    should state explicitly so a zero delta is not read as a no-op). tex/proof-guide.tex is public,
    so lean-tex-build applies and the TeX must still compile.
  2. Amend a later wave's frozen file set to include them, with this issue as the recorded reason.
    Note this only covers the four Lean modules; docs/index.md and tex/proof-guide.tex are outside
    any wave's population either way.
  3. Explicitly accept the discrepancy and close.

Recommended alongside any of the above

Round 2 of PR #4988 adopted, for waves 3–26, the rule that a newly asserted citation must be verified
against a page-scoped PDF extraction, never the flat OCR text and never another repo copy —
comparing repo copies degenerates into comparing thirteen copies of the same error, which is exactly
what happened here. A bounded audit of the remaining Glimm–Jaffe page citations against page-scoped
extractions is the proportionate follow-up; PR #3911's own citations are now known to be wrong in
every instance it introduced.
