RG-Cauchy Summability for Blocked Observables in 4d Lattice Yang-Mills Theory via Balaban's Renormalization Group — a Conditional Summability Theorem
Earlier deposit preserved without the current AIRR screening. Not peer reviewed. Screening record
We prove, conditionally on an explicit hypothesis ledger, that expectations of blocked, bounded Lipschitz observables at a fixed physical scale l > 0 form an absolutely summable telescoping sequence along a Balaban-matched renormalization trajectory in 4d SU(N_c) lattice Yang-Mills theory with a_k = a_0 2^(-k); in particular the continuum-limit state omega(O) = lim_k exists on the blocked class A^block_l. The architecture is unchanged from v1: (i) an exact RG identity (law of iterated expectations — which resolves at the structural level the "on/off-vs-k->k+1" gap flagged in the sibling audits: the one-step comparison here genuinely is a scale comparison); (ii) pushforward stability for blocked observables from approximate centering and Gaussian control of fast modes; (iii) measure comparison by Duhamel interpolation with influence control. Version 2 repairs the single broken brick: v1's Lemma 7.1 asserted the covariance bound for the Efron-Stein seminorm for arbitrary measures while proving the Doob martingale identity; per the sibling audits (2602.0070/0072 v2, same two-spin counterexample) the ES bound is false for non-product nu and the two seminorms are incomparable, so converting the ES-form input (B6) into the Doob-form covariance control requires the decoupling hypothesis (H-DEC/AT) (Dobrushin-type, verified on exact Gibbs chains at weak coupling). The main theorem is restated with the full ledger: Assumption 3.6 (blocking contraction, (H-LIP)), Assumption 5.1 with (B6) as the CONDITIONAL Efron-Stein closure of 2602.0072 v2 and with sum_k sqrt(tau_k) < infinity in (B3) tied to the profile condition (H-theta) of 2602.0069 v2 — sharpened here by a new finding (F-SQRT): the square root halves the effective amplitude, so at the representative polylog floor (theta_0 = 1.1, A_0 = 1) the sum is formally convergent but its crossover lies beyond j ~ e^1668, i.e. practically divergent; (B3) realistically requires power-law-strength p_0, and (H-P0) rejoins the ledger unless the amplitude is large — plus (H-DEC/AT) and trajectory matching. Under this ledger, the one-step error is O(4^(-k)) + O(sqrt(tau_k)), absolutely summable, and Assumption 3.5 of 2602.0063 v3 — the RG-Cauchy hypothesis (H-CAUCHY), whose naive bridge is not summable (F-SUM) — HOLDS FOR THE BLOCKED CLASS: the cleanest conditional delivery of (H-CAUCHY) in the series. v1's cross-reference "Assumption 4.1 of [18]" is corrected to Assumption 3.5, and the companion references are updated from their withdrawn "unconditional" titles to the audited versions. All mechanical steps (exact RG identity, Lipschitz iteration, pushforward stability in a Gaussian toy, telescoping arithmetic, and both counterexample adjudications at the Lemma 7.1 junction) are machine-verified in a companion suite.
