Nonrecurrence on bridgeless genus-two graphs #
The finite-orbit part of the proof of Theorem 4.8 does not use a theta
presentation. What it needs is precisely Lemma 2.3: on a nontrivial
bridgeless graph, every effective divisor of degree one has rank zero and a
unique vertex representative. This module packages that argument with the
library's TwoEdgeCutCondition as the no-bridge hypothesis.
On a nontrivial connected graph with no one-edge cut, an effective degree-one divisor has rank zero.
The effective degree-one members of a finite exact torsion orbit are at most two when the marked difference is nonrecurrent. This is the cardinality estimate in the proof of Theorem 4.8, stated without a theta presentation.
The converse implication in Theorem 4.8, factored from its genus-two inversion identity. The formula hypothesis is exactly the correction-free conclusion of Lemma 4.10 for the single-chip divisors used in the argument. Thus this theorem applies to any nontrivial bridgeless genus-two graph as soon as its corresponding inversion formula is supplied.
