Atanasov--Ranganathan rank-one reductions #
This file records the non-metric logical core of Lemma 4.1 in
Atanasov--Ranganathan. For an effective divisor, vertices in its support are
automatic rank-one tests. Consequently Dhar calculations are needed only at
vertices outside the support. Their seven pictured configurations are local
ways to establish precisely the remaining Reaches hypotheses below.
Formal core of the genus-four configuration lemma: an effective divisor has rank at least one if it reaches every vertex where it has no chip.
Degree bookkeeping wrapper for an arbitrary rank-one pencil. This is the
form needed both for the genus-four g^1_3 and the genus-five g^1_4 in the
Atanasov--Ranganathan argument.
Genus-four specialization retained under its original name for existing configuration proofs.
