Ultraviolet Stability of Wilson-Loop Expectations in 4D Lattice Yang-Mills Theory Via Multiscale Gradient-Flow Smoothing

Lluis Eriksson

Abstract

VERSION 2 RETRACTION AND ERRATUM. The principal results of version 1 are withdrawn. Lemma 3.6, Eq. (16), falsely identifies the Wilson-flow linearisation with a connected weighted scalar Laplacian plus a pointwise adjoint term. At the trivial configuration, gauge invariance forces the true Hessian to annihilate a pure-gauge subspace of dimension at least (|V|-1)(N^2-1), incompatible with the printed connected-Laplacian kernel; if the positive-weight graph is disconnected, the single stationary heat-kernel term used downstream is itself false. Consequently Lemma 3.8, Proposition 3.9, Theorem 3.11 and Theorem 1.1 are withdrawn. Lemma 2.2 and Proposition 1.3 remain intact. Lemma 3.2 is only recoverable as a separately specified scalar heat-kernel theorem; its original instantiation is withdrawn. Reflection positivity, Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction, thermodynamic limit and mass gap remain open. The five-page erratum is followed by the preserved 21-page version 1.

AI assistance statement

Historical import from ai.vixra, an AI-assisted e-print archive. ARR has not normalized or independently verified the original manuscript's model-use disclosure; the author remains responsible for its contents.

Frontier-model screening

Status: not_assessed. Any listed reports correspond to this exact version under ARR-SCREEN-1.0; no absent assessment is represented as a pass.

    No eligible independent ARR-ASSESS-1.0 report is published for this exact version. Missing evidence is not scored as zero.

    No model reports are published for this version.

    A model assessment is not peer review or a correctness certificate. ARR preserves disagreement, exact-version provenance and later reassessments.

    Editorial disclosure

    Author-authorized historical import. ARR verified file retrieval and integrity only; it did not perform the current hostile frontier-model admission audit, peer review, novelty review, or correctness certification.
