Torsion order two plus submodularity gives 2-general transmission #
Paper source: lem-TO2GenTrans (Lemma 4.3). This is the (only) partial
converse to lem:kgtImpliesTorsionOrder (Lemma 4.2, TorsionOrderExact.lean):
at k = 2 exactly, torsion order plus all-divisor submodularity is already
enough to force 2-general transmission, without any further geometric input.
The proof follows the published argument. The existence/periodicity half of
KGeneralTransmission is already available from
exists_affine_transmission_of_allSubmodular. What remains is the
2-inversion count bound kInversionCount 2 τ ≤ genus, which the paper
derives from the Riemann-Roch inequality eq-RRTauBounds:
b - deg D ≤ τ_D(b) ≤ 2g + b - deg D. We prove this bound directly (as
transmissionPermutation_ge / transmissionPermutation_le, valid for any
transmission permutation of any connected twice-marked graph, no
submodularity needed), then combine the two consecutive instances at b = 0
and b = 1 with the periodicity τ(n + 2) = τ(n) + 2 to bound the
2-inversion count.
The Riemann-Roch bound on a transmission permutation #
Paper source: eq-RRTauBounds, lower half. No submodularity is needed:
this is a direct consequence of the two-term rank-vanishing pattern below the
degree-0 threshold.
Paper source: eq-RRTauBounds, upper half. Uses rank_nonspecial_range
(Riemann's part of Riemann-Roch) rather than submodularity.
The 2-inversion count bound #
Paper source: proof of lem-TO2GenTrans. Any affine transmission
permutation at period 2 has 2-inversion count at most the genus,
regardless of submodularity: the bound only uses transmissionPermutation_ge
/ transmissionPermutation_le at b = 0, 1 together with the periodicity
τ(n + 2) = τ(n) + 2.
Main theorem #
Paper source: lem-TO2GenTrans (Lemma 4.3).
If (G, u, v) has torsion order exactly 2 and every divisor is
submodular, then (G, u, v) has 2-general transmission. This is a
genuine partial converse to lem:kgtImpliesTorsionOrder
(KGeneralTransmission.isTorsionOrder in TorsionOrderExact.lean), valid
only at k = 2: connectivity is the only hypothesis needed beyond the paper
statement, matching every other theorem in this file's dependency chain.
