The asymptotic argument #
This file derives Theorem 1.1 and Corollary 1.2 from
AsymptoticHalvedWitnessHypothesis. Its only
number-theoretic input is prime_between, the prime-number-theorem consequence saying that a
prime lies in (x,(1+ε)x) for every sufficiently large x.
Lean Pool port of wewantmoore commit d59bd80ea93fabb9faf769e790ab47692645e022. The port adds a namespace and adapts proofs to the current Mathlib APIs and repository style.
Abstract form of the sole PNT consequence used in the analytic reduction.

Taking a fixed positive integral root preserves divergence to infinity.
The quotient r/(r+1) tends to one when r is a fixed positive integral root of a
quantity tending to infinity.
prime_between pulled back along a growing integral root. The +1 in the conclusion is
important: it is what makes the construction's degree cap fit under the ambient degree.
The real comparison used in both lower-bound arguments.
Equations
Instances For
The elementary comparison which turns a prime near an integral root into a lower bound for an extremal ratio.
Every number below one is eventually below the vertex-extremum ratio.
Every number below one is eventually below the edge-extremum ratio.
Theorem 1.1: for every fixed positive diameter, the vertex degree--diameter extremum has
leading term d^k.
Corollary 1.2: for every fixed ell ≥ 2, the edge extremum has lower limiting ratio at
least one.
