Corrected Theorem 1.16 #
The published thm:bananaSimple claims that a banana marking has a
non-submodular divisor whenever one mark is at distance at least two from
both multivalent vertices. The corrected Theorem 3.9 shows that this is
false: the other mark may be the midpoint of a distinct length-two strand.
In that case every divisor is submodular, no matter where the first interior
mark lies.
This module records the sharp corrected statement. A normalized coordinate
p is far from both endpoints when 2 ≤ p.val and
p.val + 2 ≤ B.length alpha. If either mark is far, then either the other
mark is the midpoint of a distinct length-two strand, or an explicit divisor
has negative marked rank difference.
A normalized banana-strand position lies at graph distance at least two from each of the two multivalent vertices.
Instances For
The extra exceptional family missing from the published Theorem 1.16: one of the marks is the midpoint of a length-two strand distinct from the strand containing the other mark.

Instances For
One-sided sharp form of corrected Theorem 1.16.
If the first mark is far from both endpoints, the only exceptional case is that the second mark is the midpoint of a distinct length-two strand.
Sharp corrected Theorem 1.16 (thm:bananaSimple).
If at least one marked coordinate is at distance at least two from both multivalent vertices, then either the other mark is the midpoint of a distinct length-two strand, or there is an explicit divisor with negative marked rank difference.
