Linear-polylogarithmic control of imprimitive conductor multiplicity #
This independent strengthening replaces the quadratic fibre estimate by the
average order of the divisor function. The proof is completely finite:
n = ∑ d ∣ n, φ(d) bounds n / φ(n) by the number of divisors, the divisor
sum is transposed, and the resulting harmonic sum is bounded by a telescoping
logarithm.
A finite harmonic factor, including exactly the terms 1, ..., R.

Instances For
The elementary telescoping logarithm bound for the finite harmonic factor.
The finite average order of r / φ(r), with an explicit harmonic factor.
Explicit linear-logarithmic average totient-ratio estimate.
Strong imprimitive conductor bound: linear, rather than quadratic, in Q/d.
Linear-harmonic conductor transport for an arbitrary nonnegative family. The existing prefix theorem is a specialization of this finite inequality.
Dyadic-window transport with only the linear-harmonic conductor loss.
The strong conductor transport connected to the existing primitive maximal LS.
Scale audit for the quadratic modulus term on every dyadic window D ≤ Q.
The linear conductor loss leaves Q D, hence at most Q², times one harmonic
factor. Summing all dyadic windows costs only the number of windows.
