Part~I adapts OpenAI's $11/12$ argument to prove that $L(E_d,s)\ne0$ for $\Re s>17/12$. Part~II adapts OpenAI's $7/8$ argument to prove $L(s,\overline\alpha\eta)\ne0$ for $\Re s>7/8$, where $\eta$ is any finite-order Hecke character of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$ and $\alpha(n)=n/|n|$ on primary generators. Consequently $L(E_d,s)\ne0$ for $\Re s>11/8$. The analytic normalization is $L(E_d,s+\frac12)$, so the two boundaries are $11/12$ and $7/8$ within $0<\Re s<1$. The curve characters have infinite order, and require new transformation and moment arguments. These are proved here; steps identical to the original arguments are cited. Part~II also uses the ideas from OpenAI's finite-order $7/8$ theorem. Higher-weight and symmetric-power extensions are discussed; more general CM forms are the subject of a second paper. \end{abstract} \section*{Introduction} We study the family of elliptic curves \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-curve} E_d\colon y^2=x^3+d,\qquad d\in\mathbb Z\setminus\{0\}. \end{equation} The discriminant of this equation is $-432d^2$, so the curve is nonsingular when $d\ne0$. Its $j$-invariant is $0$. We fix $d$ throughout Part~I; the larger family that we average over will be a family of character twists. \paragraph{Complex multiplication.} Every elliptic curve has the multiplication maps $P\mapsto mP$ for integers $m$. These curves have an additional endomorphism. Put $\omega=e^{2\pi i/3}$ and $K=\mathbb Q(\omega)=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. The map \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-cm-map} (x,y)\longmapsto(\omega x,y) \end{equation} preserves the equation and fixes the point at infinity. The full ring of endomorphisms over $\overline{\mathbb Q}$ is $\OO$, the ring of Eisenstein integers. This is what \emph{complex multiplication}, or CM, means here~\cite{SilATAEC,Deuring}; the additional maps are defined over $K$. Moreover, adjoining a sixth root of $d$ makes $E_d$ isomorphic to $E_1$ by scaling $x$ and $y$. Thus this is a family of \emph{sextic twists}, which explains the appearance of sixth-order residue symbols below. \paragraph{Point counts and the $L$-function.} At a prime of good reduction, let $\widetilde E_d$ be the reduction of a minimal model and set $a_p(d)=p+1-\#\widetilde E_d(\mathbb F_p)$, counting the point at infinity. In particular, at $p\nmid6d$ the displayed equation is already a good model, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-ap} a_p(d)=-\sum_{x=0}^{p-1}\left(\frac{x^3+d}{p}\right). \end{equation} Here the Legendre symbol is $1$ for a nonzero square, $-1$ for a nonsquare, and $0$ at zero. So $a_p(d)$ measures the deviation of the point count from $p+1$. Hasse's bound gives $|a_p(d)|\le2\sqrt p$~\cite{Has36,SilAEC}. The $L$-function packages these counts into an Euler product and a Dirichlet series: \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-L} L(E_d,s)=\prod_p L_p(E_d,s)=\sum_{m\ge1}\frac{a_m(E_d)}{m^s}. \end{equation} The standard local factors for an elliptic curve are \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-local} L_p(E_d,s)= \begin{cases} (1-a_p(d)p^{-s}+p^{1-2s})^{-1},&\text{good reduction},\\ (1-p^{-s})^{-1},&\text{split multiplicative reduction},\\ (1+p^{-s})^{-1},&\text{nonsplit multiplicative reduction},\\ 1,&\text{additive reduction}. \end{cases} \end{equation} The local factors define the coefficients $a_m(E_d)$, with $a_1(E_d)=1$, and the product and series converge absolutely for $\Re s>3/2$. These are the standard minimal-model factors~\cite[Appendix~C, \S16]{SilAEC}. For our $j=0$ curves every bad prime has additive reduction, so its factor is $1$. The given equation need not be minimal: a prime dividing $6d$ can still be a prime of good reduction after a change of model. This is why factors at those primes must be taken from a minimal model. \paragraph{The functional equation and the normalization.} Let $N_d$ be the conductor of $E_d$, a positive integer whose prime divisors are exactly the primes of bad reduction. Deuring's identification with a Hecke $L$-function, together with Hecke's theory, shows that $L(E_d,s)$ and its completed function extend to entire functions and satisfy~\cite{Deuring,Hec20} \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-fe} \Lambda(E_d,s)=N_d^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}\Gamma(s)L(E_d,s),\qquad \Lambda(E_d,s)=\epsilon_d\Lambda(E_d,2-s),\qquad \epsilon_d\in\{1,-1\}. \end{equation} The sign $\epsilon_d$ is the \emph{root number}. The symmetry is about $\Re s=1$. To put the critical line in the same position as for zeta, we use the shifted function $\mathcal L_d(s)=L(E_d,s+\frac12)$. Its completed form is \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-fe-u} \Lambda^{\mathrm u}(E_d,s)=N_d^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}\Gamma(s+\tfrac12)\mathcal L_d(s), \qquad \Lambda^{\mathrm u}(E_d,s)=\epsilon_d\Lambda^{\mathrm u}(E_d,1-s). \end{equation} Thus the critical line is now $\Re s=1/2$, and the Euler product converges absolutely for $\Re s>1$. Part~I proves that $\mathcal L_d(s)$ has no zeros for $\Re s>11/12$; Part~II improves this to $\Re s>7/8$. In the original variable, these are the boundaries $17/12$ and $11/8$. \paragraph{Why CM connects the curves to the OpenAI method.} CM expresses the curve's degree-two Euler product over rational primes as a Hecke Euler product over $K$. In this family the character can be written explicitly. For a primary Eisenstein integer $n\equiv1\pmod3$ coprime to $6d$, put \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-psi} \N(n)=|n|^2,\qquad \alpha(n)=\frac n{|n|},\qquad \psi_d(n)=\alpha(n)\overline{\left(\frac{4d}{n}\right)_6}. \end{equation} The sextic residue symbol is a sixth root of unity determined by residues modulo the prime factors of $n$; Section~\ref{sec:lattice} defines it precisely. The ring $\OO$ has unique factorization, and each ideal coprime to $3$ has one primary generator, so sums over such $n$ are also sums over ideals. With $B_d(s)=\prod_{p\mid6d}L_p(E_d,s+\frac12)$, the concrete identity is \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-hecke} \mathcal L_d(s)=B_d(s)L^{(6d)}(s,\psi_d),\qquad L^{(6d)}(s,\psi_d)= \sum_{\substack{n\ \mathrm{primary}\\(n,6d)=1}} \frac{\psi_d(n)}{\N(n)^s}\qquad(\Re s>1). \end{equation} Here $L^{(6d)}$ means that the Euler factors above primes dividing $6d$ have been deleted. Sections~\ref{sec:integer}--\ref{sec:lattice} prove this identity directly from point counts, including its sign and the factor $4$. The finite factor $B_d$ is holomorphic and nonzero for $\Re s>0$, so this deletion preserves the zeros under discussion. Taking the reciprocal introduces the Eisenstein M\"obius function $\muk$, defined by prime factorization in $\OO$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:intro-inverse} \frac1{L^{(6d)}(s,\psi_d)}= \sum_{\substack{n\ \mathrm{primary}\\(n,6d)=1}} \frac{\muk(n)\alpha(n)\overline{(4d/n)_6}}{\N(n)^s} =\sum_{m\ge1}\frac{q_d(m)}{m^s}\qquad(\Re s>1). \end{equation} The last equality groups the terms by their ordinary integer norm and defines $q_d(m)$. The OpenAI $11/12$ argument~\cite{OAI1112} estimates analogous M\"obius sums in a family of sextic twists over this same field. Here the additional factor is $\alpha(n)=n/|n|$, which records the angle of $n$. It makes the curve character infinite order, so the finite-order theorem requires an adaptation. The same residue symbols, Poisson summation and cubic theta function remain available; the angular factor changes the theta derivative and the subsequent estimates. The six steps below outline this adaptation. In them $W$ is a smooth, compactly supported weight, and $D$ is the size of the norms being summed. \paragraph{The method in six sentences.} \begin{enumerate} \item \emph{The sum to bound:} a bound $S_d(D)=\sum_mq_d(m)W(m/D)\ll D^{11/12+\varepsilon}$ for smooth sums of the coefficients of $1/L(E_d,s+\frac12)$, after deleting finitely many Euler factors, excludes zeros of $L(E_d,s)$ in $\Re s>17/12$, just as inverse-coefficient sums do in the zeta argument~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI1112}. \item \emph{The curve's row:} point counts rewrite the sum as \begin{equation}\label{eq:d001} S_d(D)=\sum_n\muk(n)\,\frac n{|n|}\,\chi_n\bigl((4d)^5\bigr)W(\N(n)/D) \end{equation} over primary Eisenstein integers $n$ coprime to $6$, where $\chi_n(u)=(u/n)_6$ is the sextic residue symbol (the zeta row has $u=1$ and omits $n/|n|$). \item \emph{The average:} varying $u$ gives $A_u(D)=\sum_n\muk(n)\frac n{|n|}\chi_n(u)W(\N(n)/D)$, and we prove $\sum_{0<\N(u)\le H}|A_u(D)|^2\ll D^{1+\varepsilon}H$ for $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$ and every sufficiently small $\vartheta>0$, the size of square-root cancellation on average. \item \emph{Copies of the curve:} for fixed $d$, about $H^{1/6}/\log H$ prime rows $u=(4d)^5\pi^6$ repeat $S_d(D)$ up to $O(D/\N(\pi))$, so positivity of the average yields the exponent $11/12$ as $\vartheta\to0$ \cite[Sections~2--3]{OAI1112}. \item \emph{The transformation:} Poisson summation in $u$ converts the paired M\"obius coefficients into cubic Gauss sums times $(\bar n/|n|)^2$ \cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI1112}, which occur in the second derivative of Kubota's cubic theta function~\cite{Kub69,Pat77} (one derivative for zeta), whose reflection turns the twists into quadratic symbols controlled by the quadratic large sieve~\cite{HB95,GL}. \item \emph{Closing the argument:} M\"obius inversion removes the theta function's extra cube indices $nb^3$, and two further Poisson summations shrink the number of rows by a fixed power of $D$, giving a finite induction that proves the mean-square bound and hence the zero-free boundary $17/12$ \cite[Lemma~5.3, Section~7 and Section~5.5]{OAI1112}. \end{enumerate} \paragraph{What is proved here, and what is quoted.} These notes follow the zeta guide~\cite{ZG}. A proof step identical to \cite{OAI1112} or~\cite{OAI78} is cited by number; every CM change is written out. Background on $\OO$, residue symbols, Gauss sums, Poisson summation and the cubic theta function is in~\cite{QF}. Part~I treats the $j=0$ curves over $\mathbb Q$, with $d$ fixed and constants allowed to depend on it; Part~II treats all weight-two CM characters of $K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. The external inputs are the Kubota--Patterson theta theorem~\cite{Kub69,Pat77}, in the form~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF}; the quadratic large sieve~\cite{HB95,GL}; prime counting in fixed ray classes~\cite{Lan03,Hec17,Hec20}; and Deuring--Hecke continuation~\cite{Deuring,Hec20}. Standard local Euler factors~\cite{SilAEC} give the finite-factor comparison in Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler}. Part~II additionally uses OpenAI's finite-order $7/8$ theorem~\cite{OAI78}. Section~\ref{sec:78status} records its proof dependencies, and Section~\ref{sec:numerics} distinguishes identity checks from analytic estimates. \paragraph{Lean formalization.} We are working toward a complete Lean certification of both results for these elliptic-curve $L$-functions: the boundary $17/12$ of Part~I (the $11/12$ method) and the boundary $11/8$ of Part~II (the $7/8$ method). OpenAI's $7/8$ theorem for finite-order characters is already formalized in Lean~\cite{OAIlean}. \noindent\begin{minipage}{\linewidth} \paragraph{Proof dependencies.} In the table, $\beta_{\rm CM}$ is the supremum of the real parts of zeros in the unitary CM family (the $\beta_*$ of Section~\ref{sec:78}), and $\delta$ measures a row's zero location. The finite-order input is proved in~\cite{OAI78} independently of the CM conclusion. \begin{center} \small \begin{tabular}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{1.9cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{6.1cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{6.1cm}} \toprule Argument & Estimate or input & Conclusion\\\midrule Part I & Positive mean square $\ll D^{1+\varepsilon}H$ for $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$ and every sufficiently small $\vartheta>0$; Sections~\ref{sec:poisson}--\ref{sec:descent} & Sixth-power copies and Mellin inversion give $L(E_d,s)\ne0$ for $\Re s>17/12$\\ Family bound & Part I with a fixed finite-order twist; Appendix~\ref{app:s6} & $\beta_{\rm CM}\le11/12$, hence the row-bin ceiling $\delta\le5/6$\\ Finite-order input & OpenAI's $7/8$ theorem~\cite{OAI78} & Prime-slot estimates with $\kappa=3/4$; no CM zero-free hypothesis is used here\\ Part II & CM reflection, inverse and plain moments, and the endpoint inequality; Appendices~\ref{app:s1-general}--\ref{app:s6} and Section~\ref{sec:78final} & $\beta_{\rm CM}\le7/8$, hence $L(E_d,s)\ne0$ for $\Re s>11/8$\\ Higher weight & The further adaptations outlined in Section~\ref{sec:higherweight} & Expected extensions only; no higher-weight or symmetric-power theorem is claimed\\\bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} \end{minipage} \paragraph{Higher weight.} Analytically, the angular factor $\alpha$ enters the theta step through the number of derivatives. A weight-$k+1$ CM newform corresponds~\cite{Shimura71,Ribet77} to $\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta$ and needs $k+1$ derivatives; the Gamma factors keep the same length exponents for fixed $k$. Its angular powers must also be checked through the paired identities, cube inversion and reflection. Section~\ref{sec:higherweight} explains the expected extension, including the symmetric-power factorization~\cite[\S3.5]{MW}; constants may depend on $k$. We are writing up the case of more general CM forms in a second paper; here these extensions are expectations, not claims. \section{Why start with \texorpdfstring{$11/12$}{11/12} rather than \texorpdfstring{$7/8$}{7/8}?} For this family, the $11/12$ method is substantially simpler to present. Its main analytic task is one positive mean square, and the passage from that bound to the zero-free region takes only a few inequalities and a Mellin integral. Relative to the zeta argument, the main new ingredient is the angular factor $\alpha(n)=n/|n|$: one theta derivative becomes two. The $7/8$ argument~\cite{OAI78,G78} has additional layers: a supremum of zero locations over a whole family, an average evaluated in two ways, short prime sums arranged to cancel an unwanted term, and two different moment estimates to count exceptional rows. These are substantial additions to the machinery used below. There is also a scope issue. The stated $7/8$ theorem in~\cite{OAI78} concerns \emph{finite-order} Hecke characters over $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$. The characters for our curves include $n/|n|$ and are not of finite order. Thus $7/8+1/2=11/8$ is the corresponding arithmetic boundary only after the required CM adaptation; it is not a consequence of shifting the stated finite-order theorem. Part~I (Sections~\ref{sec:integer}--\ref{sec:descent}) explains the CM $11/12$ argument. Part~II (Sections~\ref{sec:78}--\ref{sec:78status}) carries out the $7/8$ adaptation. \section{Start with ordinary integers and point counts}\label{sec:integer} At a prime $p\nmid6d$, put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d002} a_p(d)=p+1-\#E_d(\mathbb F_p) =-\sum_{x=0}^{p-1}\left(\frac{x^3+d}{p}\right), \qquad \lambda_d(p)=\frac{a_p(d)}{\sqrt p}. \end{equation} The symbol on the right is the ordinary Legendre symbol, with value zero on multiples of $p$. Indeed, the number of solutions in $y$ to $y^2=x^3+d$ is $1+((x^3+d)/p)$, and there is one point at infinity. The good Euler factor is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d003} L_p(E_d,s+\tfrac12)^{-1} =1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s}. \end{equation} The shift is chosen so that $L(E_d,s+1/2)$ has critical line $\Re s=1/2$; the arithmetic function $L(E_d,s)$ has critical line $\Re s=1$. Consequently the reciprocal coefficients away from $6d$ are the multiplicative function $q_d$ specified by \begin{equation}\label{eq:qd} q_d(1)=1,\qquad q_d(p)=-\lambda_d(p),\qquad q_d(p^2)=1,\qquad q_d(p^j)=0\quad(j\ge3). \end{equation} Set $q_d(m)=0$ when $(m,6d)>1$. Thus all these coefficients can be computed using ordinary prime factorization and finite sums of Legendre symbols. In particular, $q_d$ is not the ordinary M\"obius function. Here is an explicit formula involving that function. Define $\Lambda_d(r)=\prod_{p\mid r}\lambda_d(p)$ for squarefree $r$ coprime to $6d$, with $\Lambda_d(1)=1$. For $(m,6d)=1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:integer-convolution} \boxed{\quad q_d(m)=\sum_{\substack{rt^2=m\\r\ \mathrm{squarefree}\\(r,t)=1}} \mu(r)\mu(t)^2\Lambda_d(r). \quad} \end{equation} At each prime, one chooses the constant, linear, or quadratic term of the Euler polynomial. The restrictions in this formula make those choices mutually exclusive. Write $L(E_d,s)$ using the local factors of a minimal model, including at primes dividing $6d$, and put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d004} B_d(s)=\prod_{p\mid6d}L_p(E_d,s+\tfrac12). \end{equation} Then, for $\Re s>1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:reciprocal} \sum_{m\ge1}\frac{q_d(m)}{m^s} =\prod_{p\nmid6d}(1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s}) =\frac{B_d(s)}{L(E_d,s+\tfrac12)}. \end{equation} The finite factor $B_d(s)$ is holomorphic and nonzero for $\Re s>0$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler} proves this, and~\eqref{eq:reciprocal} with absolute convergence for $\Re s>1$). Deleting these primes therefore does not affect the zeros in question. This remains true when the displayed equation for $E_d$ is not minimal. Choose a complex-valued $W\in C_c^\infty((0,\infty))$, supported in a fixed interval $[a,b]$ with $00$, $S_d(D)\ll_{d,W,\varepsilon}D^{11/12+\varepsilon}$. Here $\ll$ allows a constant independent of $D$. \subsection{The comparison with the zeta coefficients} For zeta, the classical coefficients in the companion guide are \begin{equation}\label{eq:d005} c(m)=\sum_{rt=m}\mu(r)\mu(t)\chi_{-3}(t),\qquad \chi_{-3}(t)= \begin{cases}0&3\mid t,\\1&t\equiv1\pmod3,\\-1&t\equiv2\pmod3. \end{cases} \end{equation} For $p\nmid6d$, the comparison is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d006} \begin{array}{c|cc|cc} &c(p)&c(p^2)&q_d(p)&q_d(p^2)\\\hline p\equiv1\pmod3&-2&1&-a_p(d)/\sqrt p&1\\ p\equiv2\pmod3&0&-1&0&1 \end{array} \end{equation} The inert-prime sign really changes. For instance, for $d=1$, $a_5(1)=0$, $a_7(1)=-4$, so $q_1(5)=0$, $q_1(25)=1$, and $q_1(7)=4/\sqrt7$. The character $\chi_{-3}$ records whether a prime splits; it does not encode the point count of a particular elliptic curve. \section{The triangular lattice and the curve's row}\label{sec:lattice} Put $\omega=e^{2\pi i/3}$. An Eisenstein integer is an ordinary pair of integers written as $n=A+B\omega$, with \begin{equation}\label{eq:d007} \N(n)=|n|^2=A^2-AB+B^2,\qquad \alpha(n)=\frac{A+B\omega}{\sqrt{A^2-AB+B^2}}. \end{equation} The ring $\OO$ has unique factorization and six units $\pm1,\pm\omega,\pm\omega^2$. Choose the unique \emph{primary} associate of each element coprime to $3$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d008} n\equiv1\pmod3,\qquad\text{that is, }A\equiv1\pmod3, \quad B\equiv0\pmod3. \end{equation} Unless otherwise stated, column variables and their divisors are primary and coprime to $6$; row variables run over all of $\OO$. Coprimality to $2$ means that $A,B$ are not both even. A star on a column sum means squarefree in $\OO$. Define $\muk(n)$ by the usual factorization rule: it is zero if a prime square divides $n$, and otherwise is $(-1)^r$ for a product of $r$ distinct primary primes. For example, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d009} \muk(-5)=-1\quad(\N(-5)=25),\qquad \muk(7)=1\quad(7=(1+3\omega)(-2-3\omega)). \end{equation} Thus $\muk(n)$ need not equal $\mu(\N(n))$. For a prime $\pi\nmid6$, define $\chi_\pi(u)=(u/\pi)_6$ to be the sixth root of unity congruent to $u^{(\N(\pi)-1)/6}$ modulo $\pi$, or zero if $\pi\mid u$. Extend multiplicatively in the denominator, and write $\chi_n(u)=(u/n)_6$. It is also multiplicative in $u$. Powers of these characters retain their zero values, even when the exponent is reduced to zero modulo $6$; $\chi_1(u)=1$ for all $u$. Define the family \begin{equation}\label{eq:Au} A_u(D)=\sum_n\muk(n)\alpha(n)\chi_n(u)W(\N(n)/D). \end{equation} It is the zeta family with one extra, explicitly given factor $n/|n|$. For the desired curve, choose \begin{equation}\label{eq:ud} u_d=(4d)^5,\qquad \psi_d(n)=\alpha(n)\chi_n(u_d) =\alpha(n)\overline{\chi_n(4d)}. \end{equation} We claim that $A_{u_d}(D)=S_d(D)$. \paragraph{Where $u_d$ comes from.} At a split prime $p=\pi\bar\pi$, the point count \eqref{eq:point-identity} says that $E_d$ contributes $\pi$ times the sixth root of unity $\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}$. In its Jacobi-sum proof the factor $d$ enters when the summation variable is rescaled by $d$, and the factor $4$ enters through the discriminant $1-4a$ of $t^2-t+a$, which gives $J(\kappa,\rho)=\kappa(4)J(\kappa,\kappa)$ for the cubic and quadratic characters $\kappa,\rho$ modulo $\pi$. The family, however, twists by $\chi_n(u)$, with the row $u$ in the \emph{top} of the residue symbol. So we need an Eisenstein integer $u$ with $\chi_n(u)=\overline{\chi_n(4d)}$ for every column $n$. Since $\chi_n$ takes sixth roots of unity, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d010} \overline{\chi_n(4d)}=\chi_n(4d)^5=\chi_n\bigl((4d)^5\bigr), \end{equation} and this is the choice $u_d=(4d)^5$. Multiplying a row by a sixth power changes it only at the columns that share a prime with that sixth power: $\chi_n(uv^6)=\chi_n(u)\,\ind_{(n,v)=1}$. Such a change alters finitely many Euler factors, so it does not move any zeros in $\Re s>0$. When $v$ is supported on primes above $2$ and $3$, nothing changes at all, because the columns are coprime to $6$. For instance $u=16d^5$ gives exactly the same row, since $(4d)^5=16d^5\cdot2^6$. For $d=16$ this is $2^{24}=(2^4)^6$, a sixth power. So the curve $y^2=x^3+16$ (conductor $27$) is the row $u=1$ itself, namely the plain sum $\sum_n\muk(n)\frac n{|n|}W(\N(n)/D)$, and $y^2=x^3+1$ is the row $u=16$. More generally, every nonzero rational row $u$ is the row of a $j=0$ curve over $\mathbb Q$: since $(4d)^5\equiv(4d)^{-1}$ modulo sixth powers, $u$ belongs to $E_d$ with $d=4^5u^5$. For rows that are not a rational number times a sixth power, the coefficients $q_u(m)$ of~\eqref{eq:allrows} are in general not real. Such a row is the $L$-function of a Hecke character of $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, not of an elliptic curve over $\mathbb Q$. \subsection{Checking the claim prime by prime} If $p\equiv1\pmod3$, then $p=\pi\bar\pi$, with both generators primary and $\N(\pi)=p$. The classical CM point-count identity is \begin{equation}\label{eq:point-identity} a_p(d)=\pi\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)} +\bar\pi\chi_\pi(4d)\qquad(p\nmid6d). \end{equation} This classical finite-field identity is proved with Jacobi sums~\cite[Chapter~8]{IR} (compare \cite[Chapter~18]{IR}, where primary means $\equiv2\pmod3$, which changes the sign of $\pi$). Proposition~\ref{prop:b1-points} gives the proof in our normalization. We also checked the identity numerically for all $0<|d|\le60$ and $p<1500$, at both primes above each $p$. Since $\chi_{\bar\pi}(4d)=\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}$, the two reciprocal factors multiply to \begin{equation}\label{eq:d011} (1-\psi_d(\pi)p^{-s})(1-\psi_d(\bar\pi)p^{-s}) =1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s}. \end{equation} If $p\equiv2\pmod3$, the primary prime is $-p$, of norm $p^2$. For rational $x$ prime to $p$, $\chi_{-p}(x)=1$, because $(p^2-1)/6=(p-1)(p+1)/6$. Since $\alpha(-p)=-1$, its factor is $1+p^{-2s}$, as required by $a_p(d)=0$. If $p\mid d$, the symbols vanish at primes above $p$, so their factors are deleted. Comparing Dirichlet coefficients (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler}(b)) gives the exact identities \begin{equation}\label{eq:normgroup} q_d(m)=\sum_{\N(n)=m}\muk(n)\alpha(n)\chi_n(u_d), \qquad S_d(D)=A_{u_d}(D). \end{equation} The columns still run over primary $n$ coprime to $6$; the sum is empty when $(m,6)>1$. The angular factor and sextic symbol are what distinguish this identity from the zeta identity involving $\mu$ and $\chi_{-3}$. \paragraph{The curve's coefficients are sextic residue symbols.} The identity~\eqref{eq:normgroup} for the reciprocal has a companion for $L$ itself. Up to the finitely many Euler factors at $p\mid6d$, $L(E_d,s+\frac12)=\prod_{\mathfrak p\nmid6}(1-\psi_d(\mathfrak p)\N(\mathfrak p)^{-s})^{-1}=\sum_n\psi_d(n)\N(n)^{-s}$, so for $m$ coprime to $6d$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d012} \frac{a_m(E_d)}{\sqrt m}=\sum_{\N(n)=m}\alpha(n)\Bigl(\frac{u_d}n\Bigr)_6,\qquad q_d(m)=\sum_{\N(n)=m}\muk(n)\,\alpha(n)\Bigl(\frac{u_d}n\Bigr)_6 , \end{equation} with $n$ primary and coprime to $6$. Here $a_m(E_d)$ are the Dirichlet coefficients of $L(E_d,s)$. The only difference between the two is the M\"obius factor. At a prime the first identity is $a_p(d)=\Tr\bigl(\pi\,(u_d/\pi)_6\bigr)$: the Frobenius eigenvalues are $\pi(u_d/\pi)_6$ and its conjugate, so the sextic symbol selects which of the six rotations $\zeta\pi$ ($\zeta^6=1$) occurs. We checked the first identity against the coefficients computed by PARI/GP~\cite{PARI} for $d\in\{1,2,-3,7\}$ and all $m\le400$ coprime to $6d$. Thus the coefficients of $L(E_d,s+\frac12)$ are exactly the sextic residue symbols of the zeta argument, evaluated at the fixed row $u_d$ and rotated by the angle $n/|n|$. In the zeta argument the row $u$ is the M\"obius sum $\sum_n\muk(n)(u/n)_6W(\N(n)/D)$ of the finite-order Hecke $L$-function attached to $n\mapsto(u/n)_6$. This is the Artin $L$-function~\cite[Ch.~VII, \S10]{Neukirch} of a character (by Kummer theory~\cite[Ch.~IV, \S3]{Neukirch}) of the Kummer extension $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3},u^{1/6})/\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, one factor of the Dedekind zeta function of that extension. The CM argument averages the same rows with every coefficient multiplied by $n/|n|$, and its row $u_d$ is $L(s,\alpha\cdot(u_d/\cdot)_6)=L(E_d,s+\frac12)$, up to finitely many Euler factors. \subsection{Proofs of the point count and of the Euler products}\label{sec:b1-pointproofs} OpenAI's paper has nothing corresponding to this subsection: for $\zeta$ the coefficients $c(m)$ are classical, and~\cite[(2.3)]{ZG} only groups ideals by their norms. From~\cite[Sections~2--3]{QF} we use: unique factorization of primary elements into primary primes, and the fact that $-p$ is the primary generator of an inert prime $p$~\cite[Proposition~11]{QF}; Euler's criterion and the conjugation rule $\overline{(x/\pi)_6}=(\bar x/\bar\pi)_6$~\cite[Section~3.1]{QF}; the values of the symbols at rational integers~\cite[(3.5)--(3.6)]{QF}; and the cubic Jacobi sum~\cite[Theorem~15]{QF}. The curves $E_d$ are all the $j=0$ curves over $\mathbb Q$. Indeed, every elliptic curve over $\mathbb Q$ has a model $y^2=x^3+Ax+B$, whose $j$-invariant is $1728\cdot4A^3/(4A^3+27B^2)$~\cite[Chapter~III]{SilAEC}. So $j=0$ exactly when $A=0$, and the change of variables $(x,y)\mapsto(t^2x,t^3y)$ makes $B$ a nonzero integer. \begin{proposition}[Point counts]\label{prop:b1-points} Let $d\ne0$ be an integer, let $p\ge5$ be a prime with $p\nmid d$, and put $a_p(d)=p+1-\#E_d(\mathbb F_p)$, where the count includes the point at infinity. \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] If $p\equiv2\pmod3$, then $a_p(d)=0$. \item[(b)] If $p\equiv1\pmod3$ and $\pi$ is either primary prime of norm $p$, then $a_p(d)=\Tr\bigl(\pi\,\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}\bigr)$; this is~\eqref{eq:point-identity}. In particular $|a_p(d)|\le2\sqrt p$, that is, $|\lambda_d(p)|\le2$. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} (a) Since $3\nmid p-1$, cubing is a bijection of $\mathbb F_p$. So for each $y\in\mathbb F_p$ there is exactly one $x$ with $x^3=y^2-d$. There are $p$ affine points, and $\#E_d(\mathbb F_p)=p+1$. (b) The residue field $\OO/\pi\OO$ has $p$ elements and contains the image of $\mathbb Z$, so $\mathbb Z\to\OO/\pi\OO$ induces an isomorphism $\mathbb F_p\cong\OO/\pi\OO$. Through it, $\chi=\chi_\pi$ becomes a character of $\mathbb F_p^\times$ with values in the sixth roots of unity, extended by $\chi(0)=0$. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d013} \kappa=\chi^2=(\cdot/\pi)_3,\qquad \rho=\chi^3=(\cdot/\pi)_2 . \end{equation} By Euler's criterion the kernel of $\kappa$ on $\mathbb F_p^\times$ is the subgroup of cubes, and $\kappa$ takes values in $\{1,\omega,\omega^2\}$. The character $\rho$ is the Legendre symbol modulo $p$~\cite[(3.6)]{QF}. Also $\kappa(-1)=\kappa\bigl((-1)^3\bigr)=\kappa(-1)^3=1$. Since $\mathbb F_p^\times$ is cyclic of order divisible by $3$, a nonzero cube has exactly three cube roots, while for a non-cube $V$ we have $\kappa(V)\in\{\omega,\omega^2\}$ and $1+\omega+\omega^2=0$. Hence, for $U,V\in\mathbb F_p$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d014} \#\{y:y^2=U\}=1+\rho(U),\qquad \#\{x:x^3=V\}=1+\kappa(V)+\overline{\kappa(V)} . \end{equation} Counting the affine points $(x,y)$ according to the value $V=x^3$ gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:b1-count} \#E_d(\mathbb F_p)-1=\sum_{V\in\mathbb F_p}\bigl(1+\rho(V+d)\bigr)\bigl(1+\kappa(V)+\overline{\kappa(V)}\bigr) =p+S+\overline S,\qquad S=\sum_{V\in\mathbb F_p}\rho(V+d)\kappa(V), \end{equation} because $\sum_V\rho(V+d)=\sum_V\kappa(V)=0$ and $\rho$ is real. Thus $a_p(d)=-S-\overline S$. Since $p\nmid d$, the substitution $V=-dt$ is a bijection of $\mathbb F_p$. As $\rho(d-dt)=\rho(d)\rho(1-t)$ and $\kappa(-dt)=\kappa(d)\kappa(t)$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d015} S=\rho(d)\kappa(d)\,J(\kappa,\rho),\qquad J(\kappa,\rho)=\sum_{t\in\mathbb F_p}\kappa(t)\rho(1-t). \end{equation} To compare this with the cubic Jacobi sum $J(\kappa,\kappa)=\sum_t\kappa(t)\kappa(1-t)$, group the $t$ according to $a=t(1-t)$. Since $p$ is odd, the equation $t^2-t+a=0$ has $1+\rho(1-4a)$ solutions, so \begin{equation}\label{eq:d016} J(\kappa,\kappa)=\sum_{a\in\mathbb F_p}\kappa(a)\bigl(1+\rho(1-4a)\bigr) =\sum_a\kappa(a)\rho(1-4a)=\overline{\kappa(4)}\,J(\kappa,\rho), \end{equation} where the last step substitutes $a=b/4$. For primary $\pi$ we have $J(\kappa,\kappa)=-\pi$~\cite[Theorem~15]{QF}. Hence $J(\kappa,\rho)=-\kappa(4)\pi$ and \begin{equation}\label{eq:b1-S} S=-\rho(d)\kappa(4d)\,\pi,\qquad a_p(d)=\Tr\bigl(\rho(d)\kappa(4d)\,\pi\bigr). \end{equation} Finally $\rho(d)\kappa(4d)=\chi(d)^3\chi(4d)^2=\chi(d)^5\chi(4)^2$. Since $\chi(4)^3=\chi(2)^6=1$, we have $\chi(4)^2=\chi(4)^5$, and so $\rho(d)\kappa(4d)=\chi(4d)^5=\overline{\chi(4d)}$. This proves~\eqref{eq:point-identity} for $\pi$. The two primes above $p$ give the same value, because $\chi_{\bar\pi}(4d)=\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}$ for the rational number $4d$. The bound follows from $|\chi_\pi(4d)|=1$ and $|\pi|=\sqrt p$. \end{proof} \paragraph{Where the normalizations enter.} The sign comes from the Jacobi sum: $J(\kappa,\kappa)$ is the generator of $\pi\OO$ that is $\equiv-1\pmod3$, which is $-\pi$ for our primary $\pi$. In the convention of~\cite[Chapter~9]{IR} the primary generator is $\equiv2\pmod 3$, that is, $-\pi$, and $J(\kappa,\kappa)$ equals it~\cite[Remark~10]{QF}. This is the sign change mentioned after~\eqref{eq:point-identity}. The factor $4$ comes only from the discriminant $1-4a$, and the complex conjugation only from $\rho(d)\kappa(4d)=\chi(4d)^5$. \begin{lemma}[Euler products]\label{lem:b1-euler} Let $d\ne0$, and let $\psi_d(n)=\alpha(n)\chi_n(u_d)$ be as in~\eqref{eq:ud}. \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] Let $p\ge5$, and let $X$ be an indeterminate. If $p\nmid d$ and $p=\pi\bar\pi\equiv1\pmod3$ with $\pi$ primary, then $(1-\psi_d(\pi)X)(1-\psi_d(\bar\pi)X)=1-\lambda_d(p)X+X^2$. If $p\nmid d$ and $p\equiv2\pmod3$, then $1-\psi_d(-p)X^2=1+X^2=1-\lambda_d(p)X+X^2$. If $p\mid d$, then $\psi_d$ vanishes at every prime above $p$. \item[(b)] For $\Re s>1$ the following series and products converge absolutely, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:b1-euler} \sum_n\frac{\muk(n)\psi_d(n)}{\N(n)^s} =\prod_\pi\Bigl(1-\frac{\psi_d(\pi)}{\N(\pi)^s}\Bigr) =\prod_{p\nmid6d}\bigl(1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s}\bigr) =\sum_{m\ge1}\frac{q_d(m)}{m^s} =\frac{B_d(s)}{L(E_d,s+\frac12)} . \end{equation} Here $n$ runs over the primary elements coprime to $6$, and $\pi$ over the primary primes not dividing $6$. Consequently~\eqref{eq:normgroup} holds, and $a_m(E_d)/\sqrt m=\sum_{\N(n)=m}\psi_d(n)$ for $(m,6d)=1$. \item[(c)] $B_d(s)$ is holomorphic and nonzero for $\Re s>0$, whether or not $y^2=x^3+d$ is a minimal model. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (a) Let $p=\pi\bar\pi$. Both $\pi$ and $\bar\pi$ are primary~\cite[Proposition~11]{QF}. We have $\alpha(\bar\pi)=\overline{\alpha(\pi)}$, and $\chi_{\bar\pi}(4d)=\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}$ because $4d$ is rational. Hence $\psi_d(\bar\pi)=\overline{\psi_d(\pi)}$ and $|\psi_d(\pi)|=1$, so the product is $1-\Tr(\psi_d(\pi))X+X^2$. By~\eqref{eq:ud} and Proposition~\ref{prop:b1-points}, $\Tr(\psi_d(\pi))=\Tr\bigl(\pi\overline{\chi_\pi(4d)}\bigr)/\sqrt p=\lambda_d(p)$. If $p\equiv2\pmod3$, the primary generator of $p\OO$ is $-p$, of norm $p^2$, with $\alpha(-p)=-1$ and $\chi_{-p}(4d)=1$~\cite[(3.5)]{QF}. So $\psi_d(-p)=-1$, while $a_p(d)=0$ by Proposition~\ref{prop:b1-points}(a). If $p\mid d$, every prime above $p$ divides $u_d$, so the symbol vanishes there. (b) The function $\psi_d$ is completely multiplicative on primary elements, because $\alpha$ is and $\chi_{nn'}(u)=\chi_n(u)\chi_{n'}(u)$. Also $\muk\psi_d$ has modulus at most $1$ and is supported on squarefree $n$. The series $\sum_n\N(n)^{-\sigma}$ over primary $n$ converges for $\sigma>1$~\cite[(2.8)]{QF}, so unique factorization into primary primes~\cite[Proposition~11]{QF} gives the first equality, with absolutely convergent series and product. Grouping the primes $\pi$ by the rational prime below them and using (a) gives the second equality; the primes $2$ and $3$ do not occur. Expanding the factors gives the third, by the definition~\eqref{eq:qd} of the multiplicative function $q_d$; the expansion converges absolutely because $|\lambda_d(p)|\le2$. For the last equality, the equation $y^2=x^3+d$ has discriminant $-2^43^3d^2$. So it has good reduction at every $p\nmid6d$, and it gives $L_p(E_d,s)^{-1}=1-a_p(d)p^{-s}+p^{1-2s}$ there, which becomes $1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s}$ after the shift $s\mapsto s+\frac12$. The factors at $p\mid6d$ make up $B_d(s)$. The coefficient of $m^{-s}$ in the first series of~\eqref{eq:b1-euler} is $\sum_{\N(n)=m}\muk(n)\psi_d(n)$, and in the fourth it is $q_d(m)$. Absolutely convergent Dirichlet series with the same sum have the same coefficients, which gives~\eqref{eq:normgroup}. In the same way, (a) gives $\sum_n\psi_d(n)\N(n)^{-s}=\prod_\pi(1-\psi_d(\pi)\N(\pi)^{-s})^{-1}=\prod_{p\nmid6d}(1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s})^{-1}$. For $(m,6d)=1$ the coefficient of $m^{-s}$ in $L(E_d,s+\frac12)=B_d(s)\prod_{p\nmid6d}(1-\lambda_d(p)p^{-s}+p^{-2s})^{-1}$ comes from the second factor alone, and it equals $a_m(E_d)/\sqrt m$. (c) For $p\mid6d$ the factor $L_p(E_d,s)$ is computed on a minimal model. If the reduction at $p$ is bad, then $L_p(E_d,s)^{-1}=1-a_pp^{-s}$ with $a_p\in\{0,\pm1\}$~\cite[Appendix~C, \S16]{SilAEC}, and $1-a_pp^{-s-1/2}$ does not vanish for $\Re s>-\frac12$. If it is good, then $L_p(E_d,s+\frac12)^{-1}=1-(a_p/\sqrt p)X+X^2$ with $X=p^{-s}$, and $|a_p|\le2\sqrt p$ by Hasse's theorem~\cite{Has36}, \cite[Theorem~V.1.1]{SilAEC}. The two roots of this real quadratic are then complex conjugate (or equal to $\pm1$), and their product is $1$, so both have absolute value $1$; there is no zero with $\Re s>0$. (One can also avoid Hasse's theorem here. For $p\in\{2,3\}$ the bounds $1\le\#E(\mathbb F_p)\le2p+1$ give $|a_p|\le p\le2\sqrt p$. For $p\ge5$ write $d=p^{6k}d_1$ with $v_p(d_1)\le5$. Then $E_d\cong E_{d_1}$ via $(x,y)\mapsto(p^{-2k}x,p^{-3k}y)$, and $y^2=x^3+d_1$ is minimal at $p$ because $v_p(-432d_1^2)<12$~\cite[Remark~VII.1.1]{SilAEC}. So good reduction at $p$ means $p\nmid d_1$, and Proposition~\ref{prop:b1-points} applies to $d_1$.) In every case $L_p(E_d,s+\frac12)$ is the reciprocal of a polynomial in $p^{-s}$ with no zeros in $\Re s>0$. The model $y^2=x^3+d$ was used only at primes $p\nmid6d$, where it is good, so nothing depends on its minimality. \end{proof} \section{The average, in coordinates and as a double sum}\label{sec:average} The central average is \begin{equation}\label{eq:M} M(D,H)=\sum_{0<\N(u)\le H}|A_u(D)|^2. \end{equation} There are about $H$ rows and about $D$ columns in each row. Writing $Q(A,B)=A^2-AB+B^2$, this means exactly \begin{equation}\label{eq:coordinates} \begin{split} M(D,H)=\sum_{\substack{x,y\in\mathbb Z\\00$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:MS} \boxed{\quad M(D,D^{1+\vartheta}) \ll_{W,\vartheta,\varepsilon}D^{2+\vartheta+\varepsilon}. \quad} \end{equation} The constant is controlled by finitely many derivatives of $W$. As in~\cite[Proposition~3.1]{OAI1112}, of which~\eqref{eq:MS} is the CM form, there is an integer $J'=J'(\vartheta,\varepsilon)$ such that the constant is $\ll_{I,\vartheta,\varepsilon}\|W\|_{C^{J'}(I)}^2$ when $W$ is supported in a compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$ (the norm is as in Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction}). The curve parameter does not occur in this estimate: all the curves are selected by different rows of the same family. % (R1-11 of the r1 report: the logical structure of Part I, and why it is not circular.) \paragraph{Logical structure of Part~I.} The zero-free half-plane is deduced from~\eqref{eq:MS} in Sections~\ref{sec:sixth} and~\ref{sec:zeros} (Lemmas~\ref{lem:b1-extract}--\ref{lem:b1-mellin}). That deduction needs~\eqref{eq:MS} for arbitrarily small $\vartheta$: a single fixed $\vartheta$ gives $S_d(D)\ll D^{11/12+5\vartheta/12+\varepsilon}$, hence only $\Re s>17/12+5\vartheta/12$. Its other inputs are the identities of Section~\ref{sec:lattice}, the prime number theorem for primes $\equiv1\pmod3$, and the continuation of $L(E_d,s)$. The estimate~\eqref{eq:MS} itself is Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction}, whose hypothesis~\eqref{eq:b2-hyp} follows from the bound~\eqref{eq:finalenergy} of Section~\ref{sec:descent} with $\kappa=\vartheta/2$ (see~\eqref{eq:initialratio}), together with counting for bounded scales. That bound is proved by an induction whose inputs are cube removal~\eqref{eq:remove} and the transfer estimate (Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-transfer}); these rest on the completed estimate~\eqref{eq:completed}, the CM theta transformation (Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection}) and the quadratic large sieve~\cite{GL}. No step assumes anything about the zeros of $L(E_d,s)$ or of $\zeta(s)$. The prime number theorem for primes $\equiv1\pmod3$ uses only the classical nonvanishing of $\zeta(s)L(s,\chi_{-3})$ on $\Re s=1$~\cite{Had96,Lan03}, and the remaining inputs are identities, the theta transformation and the large sieve. The diagonal $n_1=n_2=n$ in~\eqref{eq:double} has \begin{equation}\label{eq:d018} S_H(n,n)=\#\{u:0<\N(u)\le H,\ (u,n)=1\}\ll H. \end{equation} More precisely, elementary lattice counting gives, exactly as for $\zeta$~\cite[(4.1)--(4.2)]{ZG}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d019} S_H(n,n)=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt3}H \prod_{\pi\mid n}(1-\N(\pi)^{-1}) +O\bigl(\tau(n)(\sqrt H+1)\bigr). \end{equation} Here $\tau(n)$ counts primary divisors. The factor $2\pi/\sqrt3$ is the area of the disc divided by the lattice covolume. The diagonal is $O_W(HD)$. Thus~\eqref{eq:MS} bounds the whole average on the diagonal scale, up to a small power loss. It bounds the total off-diagonal contribution, not the sum of its termwise absolute values. \section{Sixth powers isolate the chosen elliptic curve}\label{sec:sixth} Fix $u_0=u_d$ and $N_0=\N(u_0)=|4d|^{10}$. For any $v\ne0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d020} \chi_n(u_0v^6)=\chi_n(u_0)\ind_{(n,v)=1}. \end{equation} Consequently the rows we need are \emph{the fixed row $u_0$ times sixth powers}; they need not themselves be sixth powers. Take $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$, put $Y=(H/N_0)^{1/6}$, and let \begin{equation}\label{eq:d021} \mathcal P_Y=\{\pi\text{ primary prime}:\ \pi\nmid6d, \ Y/2<\N(\pi)\le Y\}, \qquad J=|\mathcal P_Y|. \end{equation} For large $D$, the prime number theorem for $p\equiv1\pmod3$ (Landau's prime ideal theorem~\cite{Lan03} for $\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$) gives $J\asymp_d Y/\log Y$; for small $Y$ there may be no such primes at all, since no primary prime coprime to $6$ has norm below $7$. The rows $u_0\pi^6$ are distinct and have norm at most $H$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-extract}). Their difference from the target is exactly \begin{equation}\label{eq:d022} A_{u_0}(D)-A_{u_0\pi^6}(D) =\sum_{\pi\mid n}\muk(n)\alpha(n)\chi_n(u_0)W(\N(n)/D). \end{equation} There are $O_W(D/\N(\pi))$ possible multiples of $\pi$ in this sum, because dividing by $\pi$ reduces the norm bound by $\N(\pi)$. Every coefficient has absolute value at most one. Therefore \begin{equation}\label{eq:approx} |A_{u_0}(D)-A_{u_0\pi^6}(D)|\ll_W D/Y. \end{equation} Using $|z|^2\le2|w|^2+2|z-w|^2$ for each selected row and the nonnegativity of the mean square gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:extraction} \boxed{\quad J|S_d(D)|^2 \le2M(D,H)+O_W(JD^2/Y^2).\quad} \end{equation} There is no assumption that different rows cancel against each other. Positivity is precisely what lets us extract the special rows. Inserting~\eqref{eq:MS}, absorbing logarithms into $D^\varepsilon$, and allowing constants depending on $d$, we get \begin{align} |S_d(D)|^2 &\ll_{d,W,\vartheta,\varepsilon} DH^{5/6}D^\varepsilon+D^2H^{-1/3}\notag\\ &=D^{11/6+5\vartheta/6+\varepsilon} +D^{5/3-\vartheta/3}.\label{eq:exponents} \end{align} Take square roots, then choose $\vartheta>0$ and the power loss small enough. For every $\eta>0$ this proves \begin{equation}\label{eq:Sbound} S_d(D)\ll_{d,W,\eta}D^{11/12+\eta}. \end{equation} \paragraph{Dependence on $d$.} The mean-square estimate~\eqref{eq:MS} does not involve $d$; the curve enters only through the position of its row. Keeping track of $N_0=\N(u_0)$ in the steps above gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d023} S_d(D)\ll_{W,\vartheta,\varepsilon}N_0^{1/12}D^{11/12+5\vartheta/12+\varepsilon}+N_0^{1/6}D^{5/6-\vartheta/6}, \qquad N_0^{1/12}=|4d|^{5/6}, \end{equation} valid for all $D\ge1$, with a constant independent of $d$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-uniform}; when $Y$ is small, for instance when $Y<7$ and so $J=0$, the right side exceeds the trivial bound $|S_d(D)|\ll_WD$). This is nontrivial only for $D$ larger than about $|d|^{10}$. That is a dependence on the chosen parameter $d$, not on the curve: $E_{dt^6}$ is isomorphic to $E_d$ over $\mathbb Q$, so $|d|$ can be made arbitrarily large while the conductor stays fixed. If $d$ is first replaced by its sixth-power-free part, then every prime $p\ge5$ dividing $d$ divides the conductor $N(E_d)$ exactly twice. (The model is minimal at $p$ because $v_p(-432d^2)<12$, the reduction is additive because $c_4=0$, and additive reduction at $p\ge5$ has conductor exponent~$2$; see~\cite[Remark~VII.1.1 and Proposition~VII.5.1]{SilAEC} and~\cite[Chapter~IV, \S10]{SilATAEC}.) So $|d|\le6^5N(E_d)^{5/2}$, and $|d|^{10}$ is at most a fixed power of the conductor. For the zero-free half-plane this dependence is harmless, because each $d$ is treated separately. The exponent is easy to remember: the average has size about $D^2$, and about $D^{1/6}$ useful copies of the target occur in it, so the target squared has size about $D^{2-1/6}=D^{11/6}$. \subsection{The extraction in detail}\label{sec:b1-extraction} For $\zeta$ this is~\cite[Section~3, proof of Theorem~1.1, (3.2)--(3.3)]{OAI1112}; see also~\cite[(4.3)--(4.6) and Section~5]{ZG}. The rows $\pi^6$ there become the rows $u_0\pi^6$ here. This changes the scale to $Y=(H/N_0)^{1/6}$, excludes the primes dividing $d$, and makes constants depend on $d$. The angular factor enters only through $|\alpha(n)|=1$. We write the argument out with the dependence on $d$ explicit. Throughout, $W$ is supported in $[a,b]$, $\|W\|_\infty=\sup|W|$, $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$ with $0<\vartheta\le1/10$, $Y=(H/N_0)^{1/6}$, and $\mathcal P_Y$, $J$ are as above. \begin{lemma}\label{lem:b1-extract} Let $D\ge1$. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] $\#\{m\in\OO:\N(m)\le x\}\le1+8x$ for every $x\ge0$. Hence $|A_u(D)|\le(1+8bD)\|W\|_\infty$ for every row $u$, in particular for $S_d(D)=A_{u_0}(D)$. \item[(ii)] The rows $u_0\pi^6$ with $\pi\in\mathcal P_Y$ are distinct, and $0<\N(u_0\pi^6)\le H$. \item[(iii)] For $\pi\in\mathcal P_Y$, $|A_{u_0}(D)-A_{u_0\pi^6}(D)|\le(1+16b)\|W\|_\infty D/Y$. \item[(iv)] $J|S_d(D)|^2\le2M(D,H)+2(1+16b)^2\|W\|_\infty^2\,JD^2/Y^2$. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (i) This is an explicit form of~\cite[(2.4)]{QF}. The open discs of radius $\frac12$ about the points of $\OO$ are disjoint, and those about the points of norm at most $x$ lie in the disc of radius $\sqrt x+\frac12$. Comparing areas gives at most $4(\sqrt x+\frac12)^2\le1+8x$ points when $x\ge1$; when $x<1$ only $m=0$ is counted. The terms of $A_u(D)$ have modulus at most $\|W\|_\infty$ and vanish unless $\N(n)\le bD$. (ii) $\N(u_0\pi^6)=N_0\N(\pi)^6\le N_0Y^6=H$. If $u_0\pi^6=u_0\pi'^6$, then $(\pi/\pi')^6=1$. So $\pi/\pi'$ is a root of unity in $K$, hence a unit of $\OO$, and the primary associates $\pi,\pi'$ are equal~\cite[Proposition~11]{QF}. (iii) The symbol is multiplicative in the numerator, and $\chi_n(\pi)^6=\ind_{\pi\nmid n}$ by the convention on zero values. So $\chi_n(u_0\pi^6)=\chi_n(u_0)\ind_{\pi\nmid n}$, and the difference is the sum over $\pi\mid n$ displayed before~\eqref{eq:approx}. Its terms have modulus at most $\|W\|_\infty$, since $|\muk(n)\alpha(n)\chi_n(u_0)|\le1$, and vanish unless $\N(n)\le bD$. Write $n=\pi m$. Then $m\in\OO$ and $\N(m)\le bD/\N(\pi)<2bD/Y$, so by (i) there are at most $1+16bD/Y\le(1+16b)D/Y$ terms. Here $Y\le H^{1/6}=D^{(1+\vartheta)/6}\le D$, because $N_0\ge1$. (iv) For each $\pi\in\mathcal P_Y$, $|S_d(D)|^2\le2|A_{u_0\pi^6}(D)|^2+2|S_d(D)-A_{u_0\pi^6}(D)|^2$. Sum over $\pi\in\mathcal P_Y$ and insert (iii). By (ii), the rows $u_0\pi^6$ are distinct terms of the sum $M(D,H)$, whose terms are nonnegative. \end{proof} \paragraph{Proof of~\eqref{eq:Sbound}.} Fix $d$, $W$, $\vartheta$ and $\varepsilon$. Each prime $p\equiv1\pmod3$ with $Y/20$. For all $d\ne0$ and all $D\ge1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d025} S_d(D)\ll_{W,\vartheta,\varepsilon}N_0^{1/12}D^{11/12+5\vartheta/12+\varepsilon}+N_0^{1/6}D^{5/6-\vartheta/6}, \end{equation} with an implied constant that does not depend on $d$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Since $Y^6=D^{1+\vartheta}/N_0$, the two terms on the right are $D^{1+\vartheta/2+\varepsilon}Y^{-1/2}$ and $D/Y$. By the prime number theorem for primes $\equiv1\pmod 3$, there are absolute constants $c_1>0$ and $Y_1\ge7$ such that for $Y\ge Y_1$ at least $2c_1Y/\log Y$ primary primes $\pi\nmid6$ satisfy $Y/2<\N(\pi)\le Y$. Some threshold is necessary: no primary prime coprime to $6$ has norm below $7$, so $J=0$ when $Y<7$. Let $Y\ge Y_1$. The primes $\pi\mid d$ with $\N(\pi)>Y/2$ number at most $2\log|d|/\log(Y/2)$, because the product of their norms divides $\N(d)=d^2$. Also $\log|d|<\frac1{10}\log N_0\le\frac1{10}\log H$, since $N_0=|4d|^{10}$ and $N_0\le H$ when $Y\ge1$. So the condition $\pi\nmid d$ removes fewer than $\log H/(5\log(Y/2))$ primes from $\mathcal P_Y$. \emph{Case 1: $Y\ge Y_1$ and $\log H/(5\log(Y/2))\le c_1Y/\log Y$.} Then $J\ge c_1Y/\log Y$. For $D\ge2$, Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-extract}(iv), \eqref{eq:MS} and $\log Y\le\log D$ give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d026} |S_d(D)|^2\ll_{W,\vartheta,\varepsilon}\frac{D^{2+\vartheta+\varepsilon}\log D}Y+\frac{D^2}{Y^2}, \end{equation} and the claim follows after renaming $\varepsilon$. \emph{Case 2: otherwise.} If $Y\ge Y_1$, then $\log(Y/2)\ge\frac12\log Y$, because $Y\ge4$. So the failure of Case~1 gives $c_1Y/\log Y<2\log H/(5\log Y)$, that is, $Y<2\log H/(5c_1)$. Hence in Case~2 $Y17/12$. \end{proposition} \begin{proof} We have proved~\eqref{eq:Sbound} for every such weight (Section~\ref{sec:b1-extraction}). Let \begin{equation}\label{eq:d028} \widehat W(s)=\int_0^\infty W(y)y^s\,\frac{dy}{y},\qquad F_W(s)=\int_0^\infty S_d(D)D^{-s}\,\frac{dD}{D}. \end{equation} The second integral is holomorphic for $\Re s>11/12$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-mellin}(i)). At the lower endpoint there is no convergence problem: $S_d(D)=0$ for $D<1/b$. For $\Re s>1$, absolute convergence (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-mellin}(i)) and~\eqref{eq:reciprocal} give \begin{equation}\label{eq:mellin-zero} L(E_d,s+\tfrac12)F_W(s)=\widehat W(s)B_d(s). \end{equation} Since $L(E_d,s)$ is entire (by Deuring's theorem~\cite{Deuring}; see Section~\ref{sec:b1-analytic}), the identity theorem extends this equality to $\Re s>11/12$. Suppose $L(E_d,\rho)=0$ with $\Re\rho>17/12$, and put $s_0=\rho-1/2$. Choose a nonzero nonnegative smooth function $\phi$ supported in $(1,2)$, and use $W(y)=y^{-s_0}\phi(y)$. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:d029} \widehat W(s_0)=\int_1^2\phi(y)\,\frac{dy}{y}>0. \end{equation} At $s=s_0$ the left side of~\eqref{eq:mellin-zero} is zero, because $F_W$ is holomorphic at $s_0$. The right side $\widehat W(s_0)B_d(s_0)$ is nonzero, because $B_d$ is holomorphic and nonzero for $\Re s>0$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler}(c)). This contradiction proves the assertion. \end{proof} This explains both the allowance of complex weights and the shift by $1/2$. The zero-free boundary asserted is strict; no conclusion at $\Re s=17/12$ is being drawn. \subsection{The analytic steps in detail}\label{sec:b1-analytic} The skeleton is that of~\cite[Section~3, proof of Theorem~1.1, after (3.3)]{OAI1112} and~\cite[Section~5]{ZG}. Three things change in the CM case: the Dirichlet series is that of Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler}, the removed Euler factors $B_d(s)$ are those of the curve, and the continuation of $L$ comes from Deuring's theorem rather than from Hecke's theorem for finite-order characters. We record the three analytic facts used in the proof above. Parts~(ii) and~(iii) show that the continuation of $L(E_d,s)$ is needed only to give its zeros a meaning. \begin{lemma}\label{lem:b1-mellin} Suppose that $S_d(D)\ll_{d,W,\eta}D^{11/12+\eta}$ for $D\ge1$, for every $W\in C_c^\infty((0,\infty);\mathbb C)$ and every $\eta>0$. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] $F_W$ is holomorphic on $\Re s>11/12$, and~\eqref{eq:mellin-zero} holds for $\Re s>1$. \item[(ii)] There is a holomorphic function $G_d$ on $\Re s>11/12$ with $G_d(s)=1/L(E_d,s+\frac12)$ for $\Re s>1$. It is $G_d=F_W/(\widehat W B_d)$ for any $W$ with $\widehat W(s)\ne0$. In other words, $1/L(E_d,s)$, defined by its Euler product for $\Re s>3/2$, continues holomorphically to $\Re s>17/12$. \item[(iii)] Any meromorphic continuation of $L(E_d,s)$ to $\Re s>17/12$ has no zeros there. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (i) The holomorphy of $F_W$ on $\Re s>11/12$ follows from the hypothesis exactly as in~\cite[Section~3]{OAI1112}: the truncated integrals are entire and converge locally uniformly. Now let $\sigma=\Re s>1$. By~\eqref{eq:normgroup}, $|q_d(m)|\le r(m)$, where $r(m)$ is the number of primary $n$ coprime to $6$ with $\N(n)=m$, and $\sum_mr(m)m^{-\sigma}\le\sum_{n\ \mathrm{primary}}\N(n)^{-\sigma}<\infty$~\cite[(2.8)]{QF}. So, substituting $D=m/y$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d030} \int_0^\infty\sum_{m\ge1}\bigl|q_d(m)W(m/D)\bigr|D^{-\sigma}\frac{dD}D =\sum_{m\ge1}\frac{|q_d(m)|}{m^\sigma}\int_0^\infty|W(y)|y^\sigma\frac{dy}y<\infty . \end{equation} Fubini's theorem then gives $F_W(s)=\widehat W(s)\sum_mq_d(m)m^{-s}$, which is~\eqref{eq:mellin-zero} by~\eqref{eq:reciprocal}. (ii) Since $W$ has compact support in $(0,\infty)$, $\widehat W$ is entire. For two weights $W,W'$ and $\Re s>1$, part (i) gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d031} F_W(s)\widehat{W'}(s)=\frac{\widehat W(s)\widehat{W'}(s)B_d(s)}{L(E_d,s+\frac12)}=F_{W'}(s)\widehat W(s). \end{equation} Both sides are holomorphic on the connected half-plane $\Re s>11/12$, so they agree there. Since $B_d$ is holomorphic and nonzero on $\Re s>0$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler}(c)), the functions $F_W/(\widehat WB_d)$ and $F_{W'}/(\widehat{W'}B_d)$ coincide wherever $\widehat W$ and $\widehat{W'}$ are both nonzero. Given $s_0$ with $\Re s_0>11/12$, the weight $W_{s_0}(y)=y^{-s_0}\phi(y)$ of the proof above has $\widehat W_{s_0}(s_0)=\int_1^2\phi(y)\,dy/y>0$, so $\widehat W_{s_0}\ne0$ near $s_0$. These local quotients therefore define one holomorphic function $G_d$ on $\Re s>11/12$, and $G_d(s)=1/L(E_d,s+\frac12)$ for $\Re s>1$ by (i). (iii) If $L(E_d,s+\frac12)$ is meromorphic on $\Re s>11/12$, then $L(E_d,s+\frac12)G_d(s)=1$ on $\Re s>1$, hence on all of $\Re s>11/12$ away from the poles of $L$. At a zero $s_0$ of $L(E_d,s+\frac12)$ with $\Re s_0>11/12$ both factors would be holomorphic and the product would vanish at $s_0$, which is impossible. \end{proof} In fact $L(E_d,s)$ is entire. By Deuring's theorem~\cite{Deuring} it is the $L$-function of a Hecke character of $K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$~\cite[Chapter~II, \S10]{SilATAEC}, and Hecke~\cite{Hec20} continued such $L$-functions to entire functions~\cite[Chapter~VII, \S8]{Neukirch}. It also follows from the modularity of $E_d$~\cite{Shimura71}. This is the fact used in the proof of the proposition; part~(iii) shows that a meromorphic continuation would suffice. For $\zeta$ the corresponding input is the meromorphic continuation of $\zeta(s)L(s,\chi_{-3})$~\cite[Section~5]{ZG}. \section{Poisson summation reveals the cubic Gauss sums}\label{sec:poisson} We now explain the analytic work behind~\eqref{eq:MS}. Additive characters, Gauss sums and Poisson summation over $\OO$, including the identities used in this section, are explained in~\cite[Section~4]{QF}. The CM statements of this section are proved in Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm}. Choose a fixed smooth radial majorant $\Phi(\N(u)/H)$, nonnegative and at least one on $\N(u)\le H$, rapidly decreasing at infinity, with compactly supported planar Fourier transform. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d032} e(z)=\exp(4\pi i\operatorname{Im}z/\sqrt3),\qquad \widehat\Phi(\N(w))=\frac2{\sqrt3}\int_{\mathbb C} \Phi(|z|^2)e(-zw)\,dx\,dy. \end{equation} The smooth mean square over all $u\in\OO$, including zero, is an upper bound for~\eqref{eq:M}. Only squarefree columns occur. Write $n_i=gz_i$, where $g$ is their primary greatest common divisor. Then $(z_1,z_2)=(g,z_1z_2)=1$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d033} \overline{\chi_{n_1}(u)}\chi_{n_2}(u) =\ind_{(u,g)=1}\psi(u),\qquad \psi=\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}. \end{equation} This is a primitive character modulo $z_1z_2$. For a primitive character modulo a primary $q$ (here $q=z_1z_2$), define the normalized finite Gauss sum \begin{equation}\label{eq:d034} \gamma(\psi)=\frac1{\sqrt{\N(q)}}\sum_{x\bmod q}\psi(x)e(x/q). \end{equation} Inclusion--exclusion for $(u,g)=1$, followed by planar Poisson summation~\cite[Chapter~4]{IK04}, gives the exact formula~\cite[Lemma~4.2]{OAI1112} \begin{equation}\label{eq:poisson-exact} \begin{split} &\sum_{u\in\OO}\Phi(\N(u)/H)\ind_{(u,g)=1}\psi(u)\\ &\quad=\frac{H\gamma(\psi)}{\sqrt{\N(z_1z_2)}} \sum_{e_0\mid g}\frac{\muk(e_0)\psi(e_0)}{\N(e_0)} \sum_{h\in\OO}\overline{\psi(h)} \widehat\Phi\left(\frac{H\N(h)}{\N(e_0)\N(z_1z_2)}\right). \end{split} \end{equation} The divisor $e_0$ must be kept. The zero frequency contributes only when $z_1=z_2=1$; it gives the diagonal main term. Nonzero frequencies from these diagonal pairs need $H\N(h)\ll\N(e_0)\le\N(g)\ll D$, because $\widehat\Phi$ has compact support; for $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$ they therefore occur only for bounded $D$. They are kept in the estimate anyway. The other frequencies satisfy \begin{equation}\label{eq:d035} \N(h)\ll\frac{\N(e_0)\N(z_1z_2)}H \ll\frac{D^2}{H\N(g)}. \end{equation} This is the first shortening: $H>D$ produces frequencies of norm less than about $D$. \subsection{The arithmetic identity and the extra angular factor} For squarefree primary $n$ coprime to $6$ define \begin{equation}\label{eq:d036} \gamma_j(n)=\frac1{\sqrt{\N(n)}} \sum_{x\bmod n}\chi_n(x)^j e(x/n),\qquad G(n)=\overline{\chi_n(4)}\gamma_3(n). \end{equation} In particular, $\gamma_2$ is a cubic Gauss sum. The finite-sum identity used in both arguments is \begin{equation}\label{eq:gauss} \muk(n)\gamma_{-1}(n) =\chi_n(-1)G(n)^{-1}\overline{\alpha(n)}\gamma_2(n). \end{equation} It is~\cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI1112}; see also~\cite[Proposition~18]{QF}. It is proved prime by prime from Jacobi-sum relations~\cite[Chapter~8]{IR} (compare the Hasse--Davenport product formula~\cite{DH35}), which give $\gamma_2(\pi)^3=-\alpha(\pi)$ (compare~\cite[pp.~443--445]{Has50} and~\cite[(2)]{HB00}) for a primary prime $\pi$, and extends to squarefree $n$ by the Chinese remainder theorem. Reciprocity is not needed for~\eqref{eq:gauss} itself. It is needed for the next two facts: that $G$ is a function of a residue class, and the paired identity below. The M\"obius sign is essential here. The function $G$ has absolute value one and depends only on the primary invertible residue class modulo $72$ (in fact only on $n\bmod4$). Let $\mathfrak G$ be that finite group of classes: $\mathfrak G=\{x\in(\OO/72\OO)^\times:x\equiv1\pmod3\}$. The prime $2$ is inert and $3$ is ramified, so $|(\OO/72\OO)^\times|=\N(72)(1-\frac14)(1-\frac13)=2592$. Reduction modulo $3$ maps this group onto $(\OO/3\OO)^\times$, whose six classes are those of the units~\cite[Proposition~11]{QF}, and $\mathfrak G$ is the kernel; so $|\mathfrak G|=432$. Since every ideal prime to $6$ has exactly one primary generator, $\mathfrak G$ is the ray class group modulo $72$, and its characters $\xi$ are finite-order Hecke characters; $\xi(n)$ means $\xi$ of the class of the primary element $n$. By the Chinese remainder theorem ($72=8\cdot9$), reduction maps $\mathfrak G$ onto $(\OO/4\OO)^\times$, a group of order $12$. Define, quite explicitly, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d037} c_\xi=\frac1{|\mathfrak G|}\sum_{t\in\mathfrak G} G(t^{-1})\overline{\xi(t)},\qquad a_\xi(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\xi(n), \end{equation} where $\xi$ ranges over the characters of this fixed finite group. For coprime squarefree $z_1,z_2$, the useful paired identity, the CM form of~\cite[(4.15)]{OAI1112}, is \begin{equation}\label{eq:paired} \begin{split} &\muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2) \gamma(\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2})\\ &\hspace{3em}=\sum_\xi c_\xi a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)}. \end{split} \end{equation} This preserves the structure of a squared sum. The zeta version produces $\overline\alpha\gamma_2$; the present version produces $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2$. The first factor of $\overline\alpha$ comes from~\eqref{eq:gauss}, as for zeta. The second is the angular factor of~\eqref{eq:Au}: expanding $|A_u|^2$ gives $\overline{\alpha(n_1)}\alpha(n_2)=\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\, \overline{\overline{\alpha(z_2)}}$, which has the same paired form. Unlike a finite-order twist, it cannot be absorbed into the characters $\xi$. Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired} proves \eqref{eq:paired}, together with the reverse identity used in Section~\ref{sec:descent}. \subsection{The next average, with every variable displayed} After resolving greatest common divisors, the averages have the form \begin{equation}\label{eq:energy} \E(\mathcal H,X,F)=\frac1{XF} \ssum_{F\le\N(f)<2F}\ \sum_{0<\N(k)\le\mathcal H} \left|\ssum_n a_\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4 W(\N(n)/X)\right|^2. \end{equation} Both $f,n$ are primary, squarefree, and coprime to $6$; $k$ runs over the nonzero lattice points of norm at most $\mathcal H$. The weight and the finite character $\xi$ have been suppressed on the left. Put $\Sigma=XF$. There are two sources of the fourth power. The divisor $e_0$ in Poisson contributes $\chi_n(he_0^5)$. The common divisor $v_0$ that removes the condition $(z_1,z_2)=1$ uses the twisted multiplicativity \begin{equation}\label{eq:d038} a_\xi(v_0n)=a_\xi(v_0)a_\xi(n)\chi_n(v_0)^4 \qquad((v_0,n)=1). \end{equation} With $f=e_0v_0$ and $k=e_0h$, these combine as $he_0^5v_0^4=kf^4$. Neither source can be omitted; see Step~3 in the proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction}. The initial scales are, for a further divisor-size parameter $B\ge1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:initial} X=\frac D{BF},\qquad \Sigma=\frac DB,\qquad \mathcal H\ll\frac{D^2}{HB^2}. \end{equation} The first Poisson reduction, Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction} below, shows that the estimate $\E\ll D^\varepsilon\Sigma$ in these ranges implies \eqref{eq:MS}. Smooth kernels in two column variables are separated using Mellin integrals, with a controlled finite number of derivatives~\cite[Lemma~B.2]{OAI1112}; they are not simply discarded. \subsection{The CM changes in detail}\label{subsec:b2-cm} This subsection proves the statements of this section for the CM coefficients. We first list the inputs that are literally those of the zeta case. Their proofs involve the column coefficients at most through~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} and $|a_\xi|\le1$, so we only cite them. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{Poisson summation.} Formula~\eqref{eq:poisson-exact} is~\cite[Lemma~4.2]{OAI1112} with modulus $z_1z_2$ and exclusion ideal $(g)$. It is proved in~\cite[Lemma~21]{QF} from Poisson summation over the self-dual lattice $\OO$~\cite[Proposition~16 and Theorem~19]{QF}. A majorant $\Phi$ with the stated properties exists~\cite[end of Section~4.3]{QF}. We fix it, together with a constant $C_\Phi$ such that $\widehat\Phi(t)=0$ for $t>C_\Phi$. \item \emph{Gauss sums.} The character $\psi=\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}$ is primitive modulo $z_1z_2$, because its component at each prime $\pi\mid z_1z_2$ is $\chi_\pi^{\pm1}\ne1$, and therefore $|\gamma(\psi)|=1$~\cite[Lemma~17 and Section~4.5]{QF}. For squarefree primary $n$ coprime to $6$ and $6\nmid j$, the character $\chi_n^j$ is primitive modulo $n$, so $|\gamma_j(n)|=1$~\cite[Lemma~17]{QF}. \cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI1112} (see also~\cite[Proposition~18]{QF}) gives the identity~\eqref{eq:gauss}, which is~\cite[(4.5)]{OAI1112}, and~\cite[(4.4)]{OAI1112}: \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-g1g2} \overline{\alpha(n)}\gamma_2(n)\gamma_1(n)=\muk(n)G(n). \end{equation} The factor $\overline{\alpha(n)}$ in these identities comes from $\gamma_2(n)^3=\muk(n)\alpha(n)$. It has nothing to do with the curve and is present for zeta as well. \item \emph{The finite group.} By~\cite[Appendix~A.1]{OAI1112}, $G(n)$ depends only on $n\bmod4$. There is a symmetric bicharacter $\mathcal R$ with values $\pm1$, depending only on classes modulo $4$, such that $\chi_b(a)=\mathcal R(a,b)\chi_a(b)$ for coprime primary $a,b$ coprime to $6$; this is sextic reciprocity~\cite[\S7.3]{Lemmermeyer}, in the form~\cite[(4.1)]{OAI1112}. That $\mathcal R$ depends only on classes modulo $4$ is shown in~\cite[Appendix~A.1]{OAI1112}, where it is given explicitly on the square classes of $(\OO/4\OO)^\times$; also $\mathcal R(c,c)=\chi_c(-1)$ there. Reduction from $\mathfrak G$ to $(\OO/4\OO)^\times$ is a homomorphism, so $G$ and $\mathcal R$ are functions on $\mathfrak G$, and so is $\chi_x(-1)=(-1)^{(\N(x)-1)/6}$. On $\mathfrak G$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-quotient} \chi_x(-1)\overline{G(x)}G(y)\mathcal R(x,y)=G(yx^{-1})\qquad(x,y\in\mathfrak G), \end{equation} which is~\cite[(4.7)]{OAI1112}. In~\cite{OAI1112} the group is an unspecified fixed ray class group; classes modulo $4$ would suffice for this section, and the modulus $72$ leaves room for the residue-class factors absorbed into $\xi$ later. \item \emph{Exclusions.} Write $\E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W)$ for~\eqref{eq:energy} with the twist and the weight shown, and $\E_{(r)}$ for the same average with the extra condition $(n,r)=1$ on the columns. For squarefree primary $r$ coprime to $6$, $F\ge1$ and $\mathcal H,X>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-remove} \E_{(r)}(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W)\le\tau(r)\sum_{j\mid r} \E\Bigl(\mathcal H,\frac X{\N(j)},F\N(j);\xi,W\Bigr). \end{equation} This is~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI1112}. Its proof is the identity~\eqref{eq:exclusionid} followed by Cauchy--Schwarz over $j$ and the injectivity of $f\mapsto jf$. It uses only the twisted multiplicativity of $a_\xi$ and $|a_\xi|\le1$, which hold for the CM coefficients by~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} below. \item \emph{Smooth weights.} The Mellin separation of smooth weights, and its version for kernels that depend on the row, are~\cite[Lemmas~B.1 and~B.2]{OAI1112}. \end{itemize} \paragraph{Normalizations.} The identities above are sensitive to normalizations, and we use those of~\cite{OAI1112}: primary means $\equiv1\pmod3$, $e(z)=\exp(4\pi i\operatorname{Im}z/\sqrt3)$, $\chi_n^{-1}=\overline{\chi_n}$ with zero values kept, and every Gauss sum is formed with the primary generator of its modulus. The last point matters: replacing $q$ by $\zeta q$, with $\zeta$ a unit, multiplies $\gamma(\psi)$ by $\psi(\zeta)$. The first point matters too: if $\pi$ is a primary prime, then $\pi'=-\pi\equiv2\pmod3$ is primary in the sense of~\cite{IR}, and $\gamma_2(\pi')=\chi_\pi(-1)^2\gamma_2(\pi)=\gamma_2(\pi)$ but $\alpha(\pi')=-\alpha(\pi)$. The sign $\muk(n)$ in $\gamma_2(n)^3=\muk(n)\alpha(n)$, which supplies the M\"obius factor in~\eqref{eq:gauss}, is therefore tied to the normalization $\equiv1\pmod3$. \paragraph{What changes.} Only the column coefficient changes. In~\cite{OAI1112} the column coefficients are $\muk(n)\nu(n)$, with $\nu$ of finite order. In~\cite[(4.15)]{OAI1112} the product $\overline{\nu(z_1)}\nu(z_2)$ is a function of the class of $z_1z_2^{-1}$, and it is absorbed into the characters $\xi$. The angular factor $\alpha$ has infinite order, so $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)$ is not a function of a residue class. It does have the paired form $\overline\alpha(z_1)\cdot\overline{\overline\alpha(z_2)}$, so it can be absorbed into the coefficients instead. \begin{lemma}[Paired identities, CM form]\label{lem:b2-paired} For characters $\xi,\xi_1$ of $\mathfrak G$ define $c_\xi(\xi_1)$ and $\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)$ by \begin{equation}\label{eq:d039} \xi_1(t)G(t^{-1})=\sum_\xi c_\xi(\xi_1)\xi(t),\qquad (\xi G)(t)=\sum_{\xi_1}\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)\xi_1(t)\qquad(t\in\mathfrak G). \end{equation} Thus $c_\xi(\mathbf1)=c_\xi$, and all these coefficients have absolute value at most one. Put $\beta_{\xi_1}(n)=\muk(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}\xi_1(n)$. Let $z_1,z_2$ be coprime, squarefree, primary and coprime to $6$. Then \begin{align} \muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)\xi_1(z_1)\overline{\xi_1(z_2)} \gamma(\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}) &=\sum_\xi c_\xi(\xi_1)a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)},\label{eq:b2-forward}\\ a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)}\gamma(\chi_{z_1}\overline{\chi_{z_2}}) &=\sum_{\xi_1}\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)\beta_{\xi_1}(z_1)\overline{\beta_{\xi_1}(z_2)}. \label{eq:b2-reverse} \end{align} Moreover, for coprime squarefree primary $a,b$ coprime to $6$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-twisted} a_\xi(ab)=a_\xi(a)a_\xi(b)\chi_b(a)^4,\qquad |a_\xi(a)|=1. \end{equation} In particular,~\eqref{eq:paired} is~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} with $\xi_1=\mathbf1$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Write $a^\zeta(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}\gamma_2(n)$ for the zeta coefficient, so that $a_\xi=\overline\alpha a^\zeta\xi$. By the Chinese remainder theorem and sextic reciprocity~\cite[(4.27)]{QF}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-crt} \gamma(\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}) =\mathcal R(z_1,z_2)\gamma_{-1}(z_1)\gamma_1(z_2). \end{equation} In the same way $\gamma(\chi_{z_1}\overline{\chi_{z_2}})=\mathcal R(z_1,z_2)\gamma_1(z_1)\gamma_{-1}(z_2)$. Since $|\gamma_2|=|\alpha|=|G|=1$ and $\muk(n)^2=1$, the identities~\eqref{eq:gauss} and~\eqref{eq:b2-g1g2} can be written as \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-two} \muk(n)\gamma_{-1}(n)=\chi_n(-1)\overline{G(n)}\,a^\zeta(n),\qquad \muk(n)\gamma_1(n)=G(n)\,\overline{a^\zeta(n)}. \end{equation} \emph{Proof of~\eqref{eq:b2-forward}.} Apply the first identity of~\eqref{eq:b2-two} to $z_1$ and the second to $z_2$, and then~\eqref{eq:b2-quotient} with $x=z_1$, $y=z_2$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d040} \muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\gamma(\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}) =\chi_{z_1}(-1)\overline{G(z_1)}G(z_2)\mathcal R(z_1,z_2)\, a^\zeta(z_1)\overline{a^\zeta(z_2)} =G(z_2z_1^{-1})\,a^\zeta(z_1)\overline{a^\zeta(z_2)}. \end{equation} This is the zeta identity~\cite[(4.28)]{QF}; expanded in characters it is~\cite[(6.8)]{ZG}, or~\cite[(4.15)]{OAI1112} with $\nu=\mathbf1$. It supplies the first factor $\overline\alpha$ of $a_\xi$. The second factor comes from the coefficients $\alpha(n)$ of~\eqref{eq:Au}: the conjugated column of $|A_u|^2$ gives $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}$ and the other column gives $\alpha(z_2)=\overline{\overline{\alpha(z_2)}}$, so multiplication by $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)$ turns $a^\zeta(z_1)\overline{a^\zeta(z_2)}$ into $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(z_1)\cdot\overline{\overline{\alpha(z_2)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(z_2)}$. Finally multiply by $\xi_1(z_1)\overline{\xi_1(z_2)}=\xi_1(t)$, where $t=z_1z_2^{-1}\in\mathfrak G$. Since $G(z_2z_1^{-1})=G(t^{-1})$, expanding $\xi_1(t)G(t^{-1})$ and using $\xi(t)=\xi(z_1)\overline{\xi(z_2)}$ gives~\eqref{eq:b2-forward}. \emph{Proof of~\eqref{eq:b2-reverse}.} Now apply the second identity of~\eqref{eq:b2-two} to $z_1$ and the first to $z_2$. Since $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2=\overline\alpha a^\zeta$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d041} \overline{\alpha(z_1)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(z_1)\gamma_1(z_1)=\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\muk(z_1)G(z_1),\qquad \overline{\overline{\alpha(z_2)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(z_2)}\,\gamma_{-1}(z_2) =\alpha(z_2)\muk(z_2)\chi_{z_2}(-1)\overline{G(z_2)}. \end{equation} Multiply these, include $\xi(z_1)\overline{\xi(z_2)}$ and $\mathcal R(z_1,z_2)$, and use~\eqref{eq:b2-quotient} with $x=z_2$, $y=z_1$ and the symmetry of $\mathcal R$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d042} a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)}\gamma(\chi_{z_1}\overline{\chi_{z_2}}) =\muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)\,(\xi G)(z_1z_2^{-1}). \end{equation} Expand $\xi G$, and note that $\muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)\xi_1(z_1)\overline{\xi_1(z_2)} =\beta_{\xi_1}(z_1)\overline{\beta_{\xi_1}(z_2)}$. Without the factor $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)$ this is~\cite[(7.3)]{OAI1112}. In the CM case the M\"obius coefficients returned by the reverse identity are $\muk\overline\alpha\xi_1$, as used in Section~\ref{sec:descent}. \emph{Proof of~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted}.} For zeta this is~\cite[(4.6)]{OAI1112}, where the twisted multiplicativity comes from $\gamma_2$ alone (via~\cite[(4.14)]{QF} and cubic reciprocity~\cite{Eis44}, \cite[Chapter~9]{IR}). Replacing $\overline\alpha$ by the completely multiplicative unimodular factor $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$ changes nothing. \end{proof} \begin{proposition}[First Poisson reduction, CM form]\label{prop:b2-reduction} Fix $0<\vartheta\le1/10$ and put $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$. For a compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$ write $\|W\|_{C^J(I)}=\max_{0\le i\le J}\sup_{x\in I}|W^{(i)}(x)|$. Suppose that for every $C\ge1$ and every $\varepsilon>0$ there is an integer $J=J(\vartheta,\varepsilon)$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-hyp} \E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W)\ll_{I,C,\vartheta,\varepsilon}\|W\|_{C^J(I)}^2D^\varepsilon XF \end{equation} for every character $\xi$ of $\mathfrak G$, every compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$, every $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$, and all real $B,F\ge1$ and $\mathcal H$ with \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-ranges} X=\frac D{BF},\qquad 0<\mathcal H\le\frac{CD^2}{HB^2}. \end{equation} Then, for every compact $I\subset(0,\infty)$ and $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d043} M(D,H)\ll_{I,\vartheta,\varepsilon}\|W\|_{C^{J'}(I)}^2D^{2+\vartheta+\varepsilon}, \qquad J'=2J(\vartheta,\varepsilon/4)+4 . \end{equation} In particular~\eqref{eq:MS} holds. \end{proposition} The ranges~\eqref{eq:b2-ranges} are those of~\eqref{eq:initial}, with $\Sigma=XF=D/B$. For zeta this is~\cite[Proposition~4.5]{OAI1112}; the hypothesis has the same form, with the coefficients $a_\xi=\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\xi$ in~\eqref{eq:energy}. \begin{proof} Write $I=[a_0,b_0]$. We follow the proof of~\cite[Proposition~4.5]{OAI1112} and say at each step what the factor $\alpha$ does. \emph{Step~1: expansion and Poisson summation in the row.} Since $\Phi\ge0$ and $\Phi\ge1$ on $[0,1]$, we have $M(D,H)\le D\mathcal M_D$, where $\mathcal M_D=D^{-1}\sum_{u\in\OO}\Phi(\N(u)/H)|A_u(D)|^2$. Expand $|A_u(D)|^2=\overline{A_u(D)}A_u(D)$, with $n_1$ the column of the conjugated factor, and write $n_i=gz_i$ as before. The pair $(n_1,n_2)$ carries the coefficient $\muk(n_1)\muk(n_2)\overline{\alpha(n_1)}\alpha(n_2)\overline{W(\N(n_1)/D)}W(\N(n_2)/D)$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d044} \muk(n_1)\muk(n_2)=\muk(z_1)\muk(z_2),\qquad \overline{\alpha(n_1)}\alpha(n_2)=|\alpha(g)|^2\,\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2) =\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2), \end{equation} because $\muk(g)^2=1$ and $\alpha$ is multiplicative of absolute value one. The coefficient does not depend on $u$, so the sum over $u$ is given by~\eqref{eq:poisson-exact}, exactly as for zeta. The frequency $h=0$ occurs only when $z_1=z_2=1$. There the coefficient is $|\muk(g)\alpha(g)|^2|W(\N(g)/D)|^2=|W(\N(g)/D)|^2$, and these terms give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d045} Z=\frac HD\,\widehat\Phi(0)\ssum_g\Bigl|W\Bigl(\frac{\N(g)}D\Bigr)\Bigr|^2 \prod_{\pi\mid g}\bigl(1-\N(\pi)^{-1}\bigr)\ll_IH\|W\|_\infty^2, \end{equation} the same as for zeta. All $h\ne0$ are kept, including those with $z_1=z_2=1$. \emph{Step~2: the paired identity.} This is the only step in which the CM coefficients change the algebra. By Step~1 and~\eqref{eq:paired}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d046} \muk(n_1)\muk(n_2)\overline{\alpha(n_1)}\alpha(n_2)\gamma(\psi) =\sum_\xi c_\xi a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)}; \end{equation} when $z_1=z_2=1$ this reads $1=\sum_\xi c_\xi=G(1)$. Moreover $\psi(e_0)\overline{\psi(h)}=\chi_{z_1}(he_0^5)\overline{\chi_{z_2}(he_0^5)}$, because $(e_0,z_1z_2)=1$ and $\overline{\chi_z(e_0)}=\chi_z(e_0)^5$. Put $W_0(x)=x^{-1/2}\overline{W(x)}$, so that \begin{equation}\label{eq:d047} \frac{\overline{W(\N(gz_1)/D)}\,W(\N(gz_2)/D)}{\sqrt{\N(z_1z_2)}} =\frac{\N(g)}D\,W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(gz_1)}D\Bigr)\overline{W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(gz_2)}D\Bigr)}. \end{equation} Then $\mathcal M_D-Z=\sum_\xi c_\xi\mathcal S_\xi$, where \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-Sxi} \begin{split} \mathcal S_\xi=\frac H{D^2}\ssum_g\sum_{e_0\mid g}\frac{\muk(e_0)\N(g)}{\N(e_0)} \sum_{h\ne0}\quad &\ssum_{\substack{(z_1,z_2)=1\\(z_1z_2,g)=1}}a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)} \chi_{z_1}(he_0^5)\overline{\chi_{z_2}(he_0^5)}\\ &\times W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(gz_1)}D\Bigr)\overline{W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(gz_2)}D\Bigr)} \widehat\Phi\Bigl(\frac{H\N(h)}{\N(e_0)\N(z_1)\N(z_2)}\Bigr). \end{split} \end{equation} There are $|\mathfrak G|=432$ characters and $|c_\xi|\le1$, so it suffices to bound each $\mathcal S_\xi$. Apart from the coefficients $a_\xi$, \eqref{eq:b2-Sxi} is the display following~\cite[(4.15)]{OAI1112}. \emph{Step~3: the coprimality condition and the fourth power.} Insert $\ind_{(z_1,z_2)=1}=\sum_{v_0\mid z_1,\,v_0\mid z_2}\muk(v_0)$ and write $z_i=v_0m_i$. By~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted}, $a_\xi(v_0m_i)=a_\xi(v_0)a_\xi(m_i)\chi_{m_i}(v_0)^4$, and the last factor vanishes unless $(m_i,v_0)=1$; so the condition that $z_i$ be squarefree may be dropped. Since $|a_\xi(v_0)|=1$ and $(v_0,e_0)=1$, the two copies of $v_0$ leave $|a_\xi(v_0)\chi_{v_0}(he_0^5)|^2=\ind_{(v_0,h)=1}$, and the twist becomes $\chi_{m_i}(he_0^5v_0^4)$. The CM factor $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$ enters this step only through~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted}: like the factor $\overline\alpha$ of the zeta coefficients, it is completely multiplicative and unimodular. Now change variables: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d048} r_0=g/e_0,\quad f=e_0v_0,\quad k=e_0h;\qquad e_0=(f,k),\quad v_0=f/e_0,\quad g=r_0e_0,\quad h=k/e_0 \end{equation} (in~\cite{OAI1112}, $r_0$ is called $b$). This is the bijection of the proof of~\cite[Proposition~4.5]{OAI1112}, onto the triples $(r_0,f,k)$ with $r_0,f$ squarefree, $(r_0,f)=1$ and $k\ne0$; it does not see the coefficients. It satisfies \begin{equation}\label{eq:d049} gv_0=r_0f,\qquad he_0^5v_0^4=kf^4,\qquad \muk(e_0)\muk(v_0)=\muk(f), \end{equation} \begin{equation}\label{eq:d050} \frac{\N(g)}{\N(e_0)}=\N(r_0),\qquad \frac{\N(h)}{\N(e_0)\N(v_0)^2}=\frac{\N(k)}{\N(f)^2}. \end{equation} Therefore \begin{equation}\label{eq:b2-output} \begin{split} \mathcal S_\xi=\frac H{D^2}\ssum_{(r_0,f)=1}\muk(f)\N(r_0)\sum_{k\ne0}\quad &\ssum_{(m_1m_2,r_0)=1}a_\xi(m_1)\overline{a_\xi(m_2)} \chi_{m_1}(kf^4)\overline{\chi_{m_2}(kf^4)}\\ &\times W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(r_0fm_1)}D\Bigr)\overline{W_0\Bigl(\frac{\N(r_0fm_2)}D\Bigr)} \widehat\Phi\Bigl(\frac{H\N(k)}{\N(f)^2\N(m_1)\N(m_2)}\Bigr). \end{split} \end{equation} The factors $\chi_{m_i}(f)^4$ enforce $(m_i,f)=1$, and no condition $(m_1,m_2)=1$ remains. This is~\cite[(4.16)]{OAI1112} with the CM coefficients. The inner sums are the column sums of~\eqref{eq:energy}, with the exclusion $(n,r_0)=1$. \emph{Step~4: the scales.} On the support, $\N(r_0fm_i)\le b_0D$. Hence $\N(r_0)\N(f)\le b_0D$ and $H\N(k)\le C_\Phi\N(f)^2\N(m_1)\N(m_2)\le C_\Phi b_0^2D^2/\N(r_0)^2$. Split $r_0$ and $f$ into dyadic ranges $B\le\N(r_0)<2B$ and $F\le\N(f)<2F$, write $\mathcal S_{\xi;B,F}$ for the corresponding part of~\eqref{eq:b2-output}, and put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d051} X=\frac D{BF},\qquad \mathcal H=\frac{C_1D^2}{HB^2},\qquad C_1=\max(1,C_\Phi b_0^2). \end{equation} These satisfy~\eqref{eq:b2-ranges} with $C=C_1$; they are the scales~\eqref{eq:initial}, with $\Sigma=XF=D/B$. The angular factor does not affect any support, so this step is that of~\cite[proof of Proposition~4.5]{OAI1112} verbatim. \emph{Step~5: separation of the kernel.} The rest is the end of the proof of~\cite[Proposition~4.5]{OAI1112}, from its kernel $\mathcal K_{b,f,k}$ to its display~(4.17), word for word. In the variables $x_i=\N(m_i)/X$ the weight in~\eqref{eq:b2-output} is $W_0(\varrho x_1)\overline{W_0(\varrho x_2)}\widehat\Phi(\varkappa/(x_1x_2))$, with $\varrho=\N(r_0)\N(f)/(BF)\in[1,4)$ and $0<\varkappa=H\N(k)/(\N(f)^2X^2)\le C_1$; it is supported in $[a_0/4,b_0]^2$, with $C^q$ norms $\ll_{I,q}\|W\|_{C^q(I)}^2$. For fixed $r_0$, the scales $(X/\N(j),F\N(j))$ with $j\mid r_0$ again satisfy~\eqref{eq:b2-ranges}, so~\eqref{eq:b2-remove} and~\eqref{eq:b2-hyp} with $\varepsilon/4$ bound the mean square over $(f,k)$ of the column sums in~\eqref{eq:b2-output}, with any weight $U\in C_c^\infty([a_0/8,2b_0])$ in place of the kernel, by $D^{\varepsilon/2}(XF)^2\|U\|_{C^J}^2$, where $J=J(\vartheta,\varepsilon/4)$ and $\tau(r_0)^2\ll D^{\varepsilon/4}$. Then~\cite[Lemma~B.2]{OAI1112}, with rows $(f,k)$ and coefficients $\muk(f)\ind_{(f,r_0)=1}$, transfers this bound to the kernel at the cost of $\|W\|_{C^{2J+4}(I)}^2$. The coefficients enter only through~\eqref{eq:b2-remove}, that is, through~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} and $|a_\xi|\le1$. Summing over the $O(B)$ elements $r_0$ of the dyadic range gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d052} |\mathcal S_{\xi;B,F}|\ll D^{\varepsilon/2}\|W\|_{C^{2J+4}(I)}^2 \ssum_{B\le\N(r_0)<2B}\frac{H\N(r_0)}{D^2}\Bigl(\frac DB\Bigr)^2 \ll D^{\varepsilon/2}\|W\|_{C^{2J+4}(I)}^2H . \end{equation} There are $O((\log D)^2)$ nonempty dyadic ranges. Summing over them and over $\xi$, and adding $Z$, gives $\mathcal M_D\ll\|W\|_{C^{2J+4}(I)}^2HD^\varepsilon$. Hence $M(D,H)\le D\mathcal M_D\ll\|W\|_{C^{2J+4}(I)}^2D^{2+\vartheta+\varepsilon}$. \end{proof} Thus the angular factor enters the first Poisson reduction at one place, the paired identity of Step~2, where it turns the zeta coefficient $\overline\alpha\gamma_2$ into $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2$. Steps~1, 3, 4 and~5 use only that $\alpha$ is completely multiplicative with $|\alpha|=1$: it does not interact with Poisson summation in $u$, it drops out of the greatest common divisor, it passes through the divisors $e_0$ and $v_0$ by~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted}, and it leaves the scales~\eqref{eq:initial} unchanged. We checked the exact identity $\mathcal M_D=Z+\sum_\xi c_\xi\mathcal S_\xi$, with $\mathcal S_\xi$ in the form~\eqref{eq:b2-output}, numerically for $D=120$ and $H=40,170$, with a Gaussian $\Phi$ (for which the identity also holds). The relative error is at most $3\cdot10^{-15}$. \section{The completed sums and the second theta derivative}\label{sec:theta} For fixed $k,f$, put $\Psi(n)=\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4$. The completed sum is the following explicit double sum: \begin{equation}\label{eq:T} \begin{split} T(X;k,f)=\frac1{\sqrt X}\ssum_n\sum_b &\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\Psi(n) \overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi(b)^3\N(b)^{1/2}\\ &\hspace{3em}\times W\left(\frac{\N(n)\N(b)^3}X\right). \end{split} \end{equation} Here $b$ is primary and coprime to $6$ but need not be squarefree. All sums are finite. The term $b=1$ is exactly $X^{-1/2}$ times the column sum in~\eqref{eq:energy}. The other terms are added because they occur naturally in the theta expansion. \subsection{Where those coefficients come from} Put $\lambda=1+2\omega=i\sqrt3$ and $\ce(z)=\exp(2\pi i(z+\bar z))$. Kubota's cubic theta function~\cite{Kub69,Pat77}, a residue of a cubic metaplectic Eisenstein series (for general covers see~\cite{KP84}), is a Fourier series in a planar variable $z$ and a positive height $v$, with terms $d_0(\ell)vK_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v)\ce(\ell z)$ in its conjugate. Here $K_{1/3}$ is the usual modified Bessel function~\cite[\S10.25]{DLMF}. For $n$ squarefree, primary and coprime to $6$ and $b$ primary, Patterson's coefficient formula~\cite[Theorem~8.1]{Pat77}, which Heath-Brown and Patterson~\cite{HBP79} used to study Kummer sums, gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:theta-coeff} d_0(\lambda^{-3}nb^3) =3^{5/2}|b|\,\overline{(\lambda/n)_3}\,\gamma_2(n). \end{equation} Restricting $\lambda^3\ell$ to be primary and coprime to $6$ selects exactly these indices. Other units and powers of $\lambda$ are excluded from the twisted series by this restriction. In the reflected series, at the three cusps, the indices lie in the larger set of $\ell=u\lambda^mnb^3$ with $u$ a unit and $m\ge-4$. The tables of~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF} restrict them further; for example $d_0(\lambda^{-4})=0$. The factor $(\lambda/n)_3$ depends only on $n\bmod9$ (a supplement to cubic reciprocity~\cite{Eis44}; see~\cite[Chapter~7]{Lemmermeyer}) and is canceled by inserting $(\lambda/\lambda^3\ell)_3$ in the twist. It is finite residue-class data, not a missing Gauss factor. \paragraph{What is imported.} Precisely, $\theta$ is the function of \cite[Theorem~23]{QF}, where $\sqrt{-3}$ denotes our $\lambda$, so that $g(-3,c)=g(\lambda^2,c)$. The action of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO)$ on $\mathbb H^3=\mathbb C\times\mathbb R_{>0}$ is~\cite[(5.1)]{QF}, and the Kubota character~\cite{Kub69} $\kappa$ of $\Gamma(3)=\{\gamma\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO):\gamma\equiv I\pmod3\}$ is \cite[(5.4) and Theorem~22]{QF}. The theorem gives the automorphy (T1) of $\theta$ under $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$ and, with multiplier $\kappa$, under $\Gamma(3)$. It also gives the Fourier expansions (T2), (T3) at the cusps $\gamma_\sigma\infty$, where $\gamma_0=I$, $\gamma_+=\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}1&0\\\omega&1\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)$ and $\gamma_-=\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}1&0\\\omega^2&1\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)$. For $\sigma\in\{0,+,-\}$ let $d_\sigma(\ell)$ be the coefficient of $vK_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v)\ce(\ell z)$ in $\overline{\theta(\gamma_\sigma(z,v))}$; it vanishes unless $\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO$. Only the expansion at the identity cusp has a constant term, namely $\frac{3^{5/2}}2v^{2/3}$. Formula~\eqref{eq:theta-coeff}, the selection statement after it, and the support and size bounds for all three sequences recorded in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} are~\cite[Corollary~24]{QF}; the bounds are also~\cite[Lemma~6.4]{OAI1112}. None of these facts involves the angular factor, so they are used exactly as in the zeta case. Differentiating $\ce(\ell z)$ twice with respect to $\bar z$ multiplies it by $(2\pi i\bar\ell)^2=-4\pi^2\N(\ell)\overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2}$. The Mellin integral over the height absorbs the radial factor $\N(\ell)$ by shifting its variable by $\frac12$ (Step~3 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}); what remains is the angular factor $\overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2}$. Since $\ell=\lambda^{-3}nb^3$, its factors in $n,b$ are exactly $\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}$, up to the fixed factor $\overline{\alpha(\lambda^{-3})}^{\,2}=-1$. This explains every angular power in~\eqref{eq:T}. \subsection{Why differentiating twice is legitimate} The theta symmetry relates a rational translate $a/c+z$ to coordinates \begin{equation}\label{eq:d053} z'=-\frac\delta c-\frac{\bar z}{c^2(v^2+z\bar z)},\qquad v'=\frac v{\N(c)(v^2+z\bar z)}. \end{equation} At $z=\bar z=0$, pure $\bar z$ derivatives of $\bar z'$ and $v'$ vanish, as do pure $\bar z$ derivatives of $z'$ of order at least two, while $\partial_{\bar z}z'=-(cv)^{-2}$. Therefore the ordinary chain rule gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:chain} \left.\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}F(z',\bar z',v')\right|_{z=\bar z=0} =(cv)^{-4}(\partial_{z'}^{\,2}F) \left(-\delta/c,1/(\N(c)v)\right). \end{equation} No unwanted lower derivative survives. The derivative also kills any constant Fourier term. Of the three expansions used, only the one at the identity cusp has a nonzero constant term, and the derivative removes it. This permits Mellin reflection without constant-term contributions. For $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$, with Mellin transform $\widehat V(s)=\int_0^\infty V(y)y^{s-1}\,dy$, the reflected weight is \begin{equation}\label{eq:weight} V^\sharp(x)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{\Re t=0}\widehat V(-t) \frac{\Gamma(4/3+t)\Gamma(5/3+t)}{\Gamma(4/3-t)\Gamma(5/3-t)} \left(\frac{(2\pi)^4x}{27}\right)^{-t}dt. \end{equation} This is the CM version of the gamma quotient in the zeta argument. The reflected coefficients have angular factor $\alpha(\ell)^2$; the fixed cusp prefactor is $-\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}/81$, before the finite Fourier coefficients and local phases are included. The full reflected series is Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}. The appendix also proves it (Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}) and gives the decay of $V^\sharp$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay}). The main discussion can therefore focus on the lengths and the averaging. \subsection{The local step from sextic to quadratic} By sextic reciprocity~\cite[\S7.3]{Lemmermeyer}, $\Psi$ is of the form $\xi_0(n)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P}\chi_\pi(n)^{j_\pi}$. Here $\xi_0$ is a character of $\mathfrak G$ (it collects $\xi$, the unit and reciprocity factors, and the factors at $\lambda$ and $2$), $\mathcal P$ is the set of primes dividing $kf$ away from $6$, and $j_\pi\equiv v_\pi(k)+4v_\pi(f)\pmod6$~\cite[(6.17)]{OAI1112}. The local reflected factors, apart from constant phases, are~\cite[(6.5) and (A.12)]{OAI1112} \begin{equation}\label{eq:local} B_{\pi,j}(x)= \begin{cases} \chi_\pi(x)^{-j-2},&j\notin\{0,4\},\\ \N(\pi)^{-1/2}\chi_\pi(x)^{-2},&j=0,\\ \N(\pi)^{-1/2}(-1+\N(\pi)\ind_{\pi\mid x}),&j=4. \end{cases} \end{equation} In particular, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d054} B_{\pi,1}(x)=\chi_\pi(x)^3=(x/\pi)_2. \end{equation} Away from the fixed factors of $6f$, squarefree row primes have exponent $j=1$. These are the varying primes that become quadratic. The other local factors are still present and have to be estimated. If $Q=\N(c)$ is the norm of the reduced cusp denominator, the weight in the reflected sum is $V^\sharp(\N(\ell)X/Q^2)$. Its effective norm range is about $Q^2/X$, shorter than $X$ when $Q0$, $C_0\ge1$ and a character $\xi$ of $\mathfrak G$. There is an integer $J=J(\varepsilon,C_0)\ge1$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:d056} \sum_{0<\N(k)\le\mathcal H}|T(X;k,f)|^2 \ll_{I,\xi,\varepsilon,C_0}D^\varepsilon\|W\|_{C^J(I)}^2 \Bigl(\mathcal H+\frac{\mathcal H^2\N(f)}X\Bigr) \end{equation} whenever $1\le\mathcal H,X,\N(f)\le D^{C_0}$ and $f$ is primary, squarefree and coprime to $6$, for every compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$ and every $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$. This is~\eqref{eq:completed}. \end{proposition} \subsection{Proof of the completed estimate}\label{subsec:b4-completed} Proposition~\ref{prop:r2-completed} is the CM form of~\cite[Proposition~5.2]{OAI1112}. Its proof in~\cite[Section~6]{OAI1112} has three steps: the quadratic large sieve~\cite[Lemma~6.5]{OAI1112}, the bound for squarefree rows~\cite[Lemma~6.6]{OAI1112}, and the passage to all rows described after~\eqref{eq:completed}. All three apply verbatim in the CM case once the zeta transformation formula, \cite[Proposition~6.2 and Lemmas~6.3 and~6.4]{OAI1112}, is replaced by its CM form, Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} with Lemmas~\ref{lem:b3-uniform} and~\ref{lem:b3-decay}. The reason is that the proof of~\cite[Lemma~6.6]{OAI1112} uses the transformation formula only through the following properties, each of which holds in the CM case (only the implied constant in the weight bound changes). \begin{itemize} \item \emph{Shape.} $T(X;\Psi)$ is a sum of $O(2^{|\mathcal P|})$ cusp terms. Each is a constant $C$ with $|C|\ll1$ times a sum over $0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO$ of the theta coefficient $d_\sigma(\ell)$, a unimodular angular factor, $\N(\ell)^{-1/2}$, an additive character, the local factors and $V^\sharp(\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2)$. For $\zeta$ the angular factor is $\alpha(\ell)$; in the CM case it is $\alpha(\ell)^2$, and $C=-\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}C'/81$ with $|C'|\le1$. The local factors and the additive characters are literally those of the zeta case. In the proof of~\cite[Lemma~6.6]{OAI1112} the row is $u_0tk_0$, with $k_0$ squarefree and prime to $6g$, and $c=c_*k_0$. Once $k_0$ is restricted to a residue class modulo $M^2$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform}), $k_0$ enters a cusp term only through the scalar $C$, through the quadratic factors $B_{\pi,1}(\lambda^4\ell)=\chi_\pi(\lambda^4\ell)^3$ at the primes $\pi\mid k_0$, and through $\N(c)=\N(c_*)\N(k_0)$ in the weight. The angular factor is a function of $\ell$ alone, so it goes into the coefficient $A_{u,m}(n,b)$ of that proof, which does not depend on $k_0$; only $|A_{u,m}(n,b)|\le27$ is used. The scalar depends on $k_0$, in the CM case also through $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$, but only $|C|\le1/81$ is used. \item \emph{Uniformity in the twist.} Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform}, which is~\cite[Lemma~6.3]{OAI1112}. \item \emph{The coefficients.} $d_\sigma(\ell)=0$ unless $\ell=u\lambda^mnb^3$ with $u$ a unit, $m\ge-4$, $n$ squarefree and $n,b$ primary, and then $|d_\sigma(\ell)|\le27\cdot3^{m/6}|b|$. These bounds of~\cite[Lemma~6.4]{OAI1112} concern the theta coefficients alone, which are the same in both cases. \item \emph{The weight.} $|(x\partial_x)^jV^\sharp(x)|\ll\|W\|_{C^J(I)}\min(x^{1/4},x^{-A})$ with $J=\lceil4A\rceil+j+2$. For $\zeta$ this is~\cite[Lemma~6.4]{OAI1112}, stated there with $\|V\|_{C^J(I)}\ll_{J,I}\|W\|_{C^J(I)}$; in the CM case it is Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay}. The different gamma factors change only the implied constant; the derivative order is that of~\cite[(A.20)]{OAI1112}. \end{itemize} The twists $\Psi_{k,g}(n)=\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(g)^4$ are those of~\cite[Section~6.4]{OAI1112}, put in the form~\cite[(6.17)]{OAI1112} by sextic reciprocity. In the passage to all rows, write $k=u_0sv^2$ with $u_0$ a unit and $s$ squarefree. Then $T(X;k,f)=T(X;u_0s,fv^2)$, and the bound for squarefree rows is applied with row bound $\mathcal H/\N(v)^2$ and auxiliary argument $g=fv^2$. Since $\N(g)\le\mathcal H\N(f)\le D^{2C_0}$, it is applied with $2C_0$ in place of $C_0$. \paragraph{The large sieve.} Inequality~\eqref{eq:qls} is~\cite[Lemma~6.5]{OAI1112}, deduced there from~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{GL}; dyadic decomposition passes from $\N(n)\asymp U$ to $\N(n)\le U$. Three points are implicit there or only sketched. First,~\cite{GL} indexes the character by the inner variable, so it is applied to the transposed matrix, which has the same operator norm; the bound $(KU)^\varepsilon(K+U)$ is symmetric. Second, the reflected columns may be even (the proof of~\cite[Lemma~6.5]{OAI1112} fixes the factors of $n$ in $S$): a squarefree primary $n$ divisible by $2$ is $n=-2n'$ with $n'$ odd and primary, and $(n/k)_2=(-2/k)_2(n'/k)_2$, where $|(-2/k)_2|=1$ depends only on the row. Third, the family. For squarefree primary $k$ coprime to $6$ put $\chi_{(k)}(x)=(x/k)_2\kappa_\lambda(x)^{e_k}$, with $\kappa_\lambda$ the nontrivial character modulo $\lambda$ and $\N(k)\equiv(-1)^{e_k}\pmod4$. It is trivial on the units, so it is a primitive Hecke character of trivial infinite type, of conductor $k\lambda^{e_k}$, and $\chi_{(k)}(n')=(n'/k)_2$ for primary $n'$. These characters form a quadratic Hecke family in the sense of~\cite[Definition~1]{GL}, with $\mathfrak c=6\OO$. Their order divides $2$. By quadratic reciprocity in $\OO$~\cite[\S8.5]{Lemmermeyer}, $\chi_{(k)}(k')\chi_{(k')}(k)$ depends only on the classes of the primary generators $k,k'$ modulo $4$, so the reciprocity law of~\cite[Definition~1]{GL} holds with $G=(\OO/4\OO)^\times$ and $[(k)]=k\bmod4$. Finally, if coprime $k_1,k_2$ satisfy $k_1\equiv k_2\pmod4$, then $e_{k_1}=e_{k_2}$, so $\chi_{(k_1)}\overline{\chi_{(k_2)}}$ is induced by $(\cdot/k_1k_2)_2$, which is primitive modulo the squarefree $k_1k_2$. \section{Remove the cubes, then reduce the number of rows}\label{sec:descent} The purpose of descent is to bound the average $\E(\mathcal H,X,F)$ in~\eqref{eq:energy}. In plain terms, the completed theta estimate handles small cube indices. The remaining large cube indices lead to averages of exactly the same kind with fewer rows. The point requiring care is that all the other conditions, including the smooth weights, must survive this reduction. One cannot discard the $b\ne1$ terms inside~\eqref{eq:T}: they could cancel the term we want. Instead use the exact cube inversion of~\cite[Section~5.3]{OAI1112} (compare~\cite[Theorem~6.1]{Pat77} and~\cite[Section~5]{DR}) \begin{equation}\label{eq:inversion} \frac1{\sqrt X}\ssum_n a_\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4W(\N(n)/X) =\sum_h\frac{\muk(h)\overline{\alpha(h)}^{\,6}\Psi(h)^3}{\N(h)} T(X/\N(h)^3;k,f). \end{equation} Here $h$ is primary and coprime to $6$. To check the formula, substitute \eqref{eq:T}, collect the total cube index $b'=hb$, and use $\sum_{h\mid b'}\muk(h)=\ind_{b'=1}$. The angular and character factors are completely multiplicative, so this cancellation is exact. \subsection{Small cubes are controlled by the completed estimate} Choose \begin{equation}\label{eq:Hc} H_c^3=\min\left(X,\frac{X^2}{\mathcal H^2}\right),\qquad L_b=\frac X{\N(b)^3}. \end{equation} For $\N(h)\le H_c$, the completed estimate~\eqref{eq:completed} at scale $X/\N(h)^3$ gives terms bounded by \begin{equation}\label{eq:smallcubes} \mathcal H+\frac{\mathcal H^2F\N(h)^3}X\ll\Sigma, \qquad\Sigma=XF, \end{equation} provided $\mathcal H\le\Sigma$. Cauchy--Schwarz costs only divisor sums and logarithms, which fit into $D^\varepsilon$. Expanding the remaining completed sums in~\eqref{eq:inversion} leaves the same average at smaller column scales. The resulting cube-removal estimate, the CM form of~\cite[Lemma~5.3]{OAI1112} (Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-cube}), is \begin{equation}\label{eq:remove} \E(\mathcal H,X,F)\ll D^\varepsilon \left(\Sigma+ \sup_{\substack{\N(b)>H_c\\L_b>1}}\E(\mathcal H,L_b,F)\right). \end{equation} An empty supremum is zero. Scales $L_b\le1$ are bounded by counting. If $\mathcal H^2\le X$, the supremum is empty and the desired estimate already follows. Here and below, the suppressed dependence on $W$ is through a fixed finite smoothness norm. More precisely, the $\Sigma$ term in~\eqref{eq:remove} is $\Sigma\|W\|_{C^{J_c}(I)}^2$ for a finite integer $J_c$, with the same $W$ in each average in the supremum. Here $I\subset(0,\infty)$ is a compact interval containing the support of $W$, and $\|W\|_{C^J(I)}=\max_{0\le i\le J}\sup_{x\in I}|W^{(i)}(x)|$. \subsection{Large cubes force a smaller row range} Keep $\Sigma=XF$ from the original average fixed while replacing the column length $X$ by $L=L_b$. In particular, do not reset $\Sigma$ to $LF$. The extra room $LF\le\Sigma$ is what permits the enlargement below. For the remaining terms, two more Poisson summations~\cite[Section~7]{OAI1112} exchange cubic Gauss coefficients for M\"obius coefficients and then back again. The paired identity~\eqref{eq:paired} is used in both directions, with twists (Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired}). Smooth the row sum in the explicit average \begin{equation}\label{eq:d057} \frac1{LF}\ssum_{F\le\N(f)<2F}\sum_{k\in\OO} \Phi(\N(k)/\mathcal H) \left|\ssum_n a_\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4W(\N(n)/L)\right|^2. \end{equation} The reverse paired Gauss identity converts its coefficients back to M\"obius coefficients $\muk(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}\xi_1(n)$. For precision, the intermediate column sums, with their exclusions, are \begin{equation}\label{eq:P} P_{C,e_0,t}(y;U)=\ssum_n\muk(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}\xi_1(n) \ind_{(n,t)=1}\overline{\chi_n(y)}\chi_n(C)^4\chi_n(e_0) U(\N(n)/\ell),\quad \ell=\frac L{\N(C)\N(t)}. \end{equation} Here $C,t$ are coprime squarefree primary elements and $e_0\mid C$. After separation of smooth weights, the nonnegative average used is \begin{equation}\label{eq:Q} \sum_{\substack{C,t\ \mathrm{squarefree}\\(C,t)=1}} \sum_{e_0\mid C}\frac{\mathcal H\N(C)}{\N(e_0)L^2F} \sum_{y\in\OO}\Phi(\N(y)/Y_{C,e_0}) |P_{C,e_0,t}(y;U)|^2, \end{equation} where the outer sum is restricted to $\N(Ct)\ll_W L$ and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d058} Y_{C,e_0}=c_*\frac{\Sigma LF\N(e_0)}{\mathcal H\N(C)^2}. \end{equation} The constant $c_*$ is fixed and chosen to cover the support of the weights. Here is the crucial enlargement (compare~\cite[Lemma~9]{HB95} and~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{GL}). The first Poisson frequency $h$ has norm about $L^2/\mathcal H$, with additional divisor factors. Combining it with $f$ as $y=hf^2$ gives a natural M\"obius-row range of size $L^2F^2/\mathcal H$. Suppressing the common divisor factor $\N(e_0)/\N(C)^2$ and fixed support constants, the two scales are \begin{equation}\label{eq:enlarge} Y_{\rm natural}=\frac{L^2F^2}{\mathcal H},\qquad Y_{\rm enlarged}=\frac{\Sigma LF}{\mathcal H},\qquad \frac{Y_{\rm enlarged}}{Y_{\rm natural}}=\frac{\Sigma}{LF}\ge1. \end{equation} After separating the smooth weights, the row sums are nonnegative mean squares, so the larger smooth majorant gives a valid upper bound. The enlarged range makes the second Poisson frequency range smaller. The second Poisson summation, in $y$, uses~\eqref{eq:paired}, twisted by $\xi_1$ as in~\eqref{eq:b2-forward}, and returns to the cubic coefficients $a_\xi$. Its output is indexed by the common divisor $g$ of the two M\"obius columns in $|P_{C,e_0,t}|^2$, a divisor $e\mid g$ coming from the row exclusion, a squarefree $w$ that removes the remaining coprimality condition, and a nonzero frequency $h_2$. These combine into a new exclusion divisor, auxiliary divisor and row: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d059} r=tg/e,\qquad f'=Cew,\qquad k'=e_0eh_2, \end{equation} as in~\cite[proof of Lemma~7.3]{OAI1112}. For $r$ in a dyadic range $R\le\N(r)<2R$, the new row scale is \begin{equation}\label{eq:Hprime} \mathcal H'=\frac{\mathcal HL}{\Sigma FR^2}. \end{equation} Without enlargement the corresponding scale would be $\mathcal H/(F^2R^2)$, which need not decrease when $F=R=1$. Regrouping the signed divisor contributions \emph{before} taking absolute values forces a divisibility condition $f'\mid k'$. At each prime $\pi\mid f'$, the choices $\pi\mid C$, $\pi\mid e$ and $\pi\mid w$ contribute the three terms on the left of \begin{equation}\label{eq:localcancel} (1+\ind_{\pi\mid k'})-\ind_{\pi\mid k'} -\ind_{\pi\nmid k'}=\ind_{\pi\mid k'}. \end{equation} This divisibility keeps the next average in the ranges needed for induction. The kernel after the second summation vanishes unless $0<\N(k')\le\mathcal HL/(\Sigma F\N(r)^2)$. Retain only those $r$ for which a nonzero term occurs. If $F'\le\N(f')<2F'$, then $f'\mid k'$ gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:retained} F'\le\N(f')\le\N(k')\le\frac{\mathcal HL}{\Sigma F\N(r)^2}\le\mathcal H', \end{equation} so $\mathcal H'\ge F'\ge1$. The new columns are restricted by $(n,r)=1$. Put $X'=L/(RF')$, and let $\mathcal C_r(X';k',f')$ be the column sum of~\eqref{eq:energy} with this restriction, and $\mathcal C_1$ the unrestricted one. Inclusion--exclusion over $j\mid r$, together with the twisted multiplicativity of $a_\xi$, gives the exact identity \begin{equation}\label{eq:exclusionid} \mathcal C_r(X';k',f')=\sum_{\substack{j\mid r\\(j,f')=1}}\muk(j)a_\xi(j) \chi_j(k')\chi_j(f')^4\,\mathcal C_1\bigl(X'/\N(j);k',jf'\bigr). \end{equation} Indeed, writing $n=jn'$, the factor $\chi_{n'}(j)^4$ from $a_\xi(jn')=a_\xi(j)a_\xi(n')\chi_{n'}(j)^4$ enforces $(n',j)=1$ and combines with $\chi_{n'}(f')^4$. The factor $\overline{\alpha}^{\,2}$ in $a_\xi$ is completely multiplicative, so this is the identity in the proof of~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI1112}, with one more factor $\overline{\alpha}$. Cauchy--Schwarz in $j$ then bounds the restricted average by $\tau(r)\sum_{j\mid r}\E(\mathcal H',X'/\N(j),F'\N(j))$. Thus removing an exclusion divisor $j\mid r$ produces the replacement \begin{equation}\label{eq:exclusionswap} (X',F')\longmapsto\bigl(X'/\N(j),\ F'\N(j)\bigr). \end{equation} It preserves both $\mathcal H'$ and the product $\Sigma'=X'F'=L/R$, and hence the ratio $\mathcal H'/\Sigma'$. Since $\N(j)\le\N(r)$, $R\le\N(r)$, $F\ge1$ and $\mathcal H\le\Sigma$, \eqref{eq:retained} gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:childcolumn} \frac{X'}{\N(j)}\ge\frac{\Sigma F\N(r)^2}{\mathcal HR\N(j)} \ge\frac{\Sigma F}{\mathcal H}\ge1. \end{equation} \subsection{The precise transfer estimate} We now state the analytic input in the form needed here. As in Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm}, we write $\E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W)$ when the twist and weight in~\eqref{eq:energy} need to be shown. \begin{proposition}[Transfer estimate; CM form of {\cite[Proposition~5.4]{OAI1112}}]\label{prop:cm-transfer} Fix $C_0\ge1$, a compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$, and $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$, and let $D\ge2$. Suppose $1\le\mathcal H,L,F,\Sigma\le D^{C_0}$, with $\max\{\mathcal H,LF\}\le\Sigma$. Here $\Sigma$ is an independent target scale. For every integer $m\ge0$ and $\delta>0$, with the derivative order $J_t(m)=4m+12$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:transferprop} \E(\mathcal H,L,F;\xi,W) \ll D^\delta\Sigma\|W\|_{C^{J_t(m)}(I)}^2 \left(1+\sup\frac{\E(\mathcal H',X',F';\xi',U)}{\Sigma'}\right). \end{equation} The supremum runs over averages of the same form~\eqref{eq:energy}, with $\mathcal H',X',F'\ge1$, $\Sigma'=X'F'$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:transfer} \mathcal H'\le\frac{\mathcal HL}{\Sigma F},\qquad \frac{\mathcal H'}{\Sigma'}\le\frac{\mathcal H}{\Sigma},\qquad \Sigma'\le L. \end{equation} For $I=[u,v]\subset(0,\infty)$, the new weights satisfy $U\in C_c^\infty([u/16,4v])$ and $\|U\|_{C^m}\le1$. The characters $\xi'$ belong to the same fixed finite family of residue-class twists. An empty supremum is zero. The implied constant may depend on $m,C_0,\delta,I$ and the fixed arithmetic data, but not on $D$ or the moving scales. \end{proposition} For $\zeta$ this is~\cite[Proposition~5.4]{OAI1112}, with the same $J_t(m)=4m+12$. The source proves the stronger version with a smooth majorant of the row sum on the left, and so do we. Its proof, in~\cite[Section~7]{OAI1112}, is the two-Poisson argument just outlined, including the bounds for the separated smooth kernels and zero frequencies. In the CM case the two Poisson summations change through the angular factors and the rest of the argument does not; the proof is given in Section~\ref{subsec:b4-transfer}. The content of the proposition is the uniform mean-square bound: the three scale inequalities~\eqref{eq:transfer}, by themselves, do not establish it. \subsection{Why the induction closes} This subsection follows the proof of~\cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI1112}, which follows Heath-Brown's recursive method~\cite[Lemma~8 and \S8]{HB95} (see also~\cite[Theorem~4.1]{GL}), given in~\cite[Section~5.5]{OAI1112}; it uses only~\eqref{eq:remove}, Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-transfer} and counting, so it carries over unchanged. Fix $\kappa>0$, $C_0\ge1$, and $\varepsilon>0$, and assume \begin{equation}\label{eq:standing} 1\le\mathcal H,X,F,\qquad \Sigma=XF\le D^{C_0},\qquad \mathcal H\le\Sigma D^{-\kappa}. \end{equation} The inductive assertion, for each integer $\nu\ge0$, is \begin{equation}\label{eq:inductive} \E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W) \ll D^\varepsilon\Sigma\|W\|_{C^{J_\nu}(I)}^2 \qquad\text{whenever }\mathcal H\le D^{\nu\kappa}. \end{equation} This assertion is made for every $\varepsilon>0$ and every compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$. The finite derivative order $J_\nu$ may depend on $\nu,\kappa,C_0,\varepsilon$, but not on $D$ or $I$; the implied constant may also depend on $I$. This formulation allows the support interval to enlarge at a transfer step. \paragraph{Base case.} If $\nu=0$, then $\mathcal H\le1$, so there are at most six nonzero rows, the units. There are $O(F)$ choices of $f$ and $O_I(X)$ column terms, each of absolute value at most $\|W\|_\infty$, since $|a_\xi(n)|\le1$. The normalization in~\eqref{eq:energy} therefore gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:basecase} \E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W) \ll_I\frac{F}{XF}(X\|W\|_\infty)^2 =X\|W\|_\infty^2\le\Sigma\|W\|_\infty^2. \end{equation} \paragraph{Induction step.} Assume the assertion at level $\nu$, and let $\mathcal H\le D^{(\nu+1)\kappa}$. Use that assertion with loss $\varepsilon/3$, and let $m$ be its required derivative order. Apply cube removal~\eqref{eq:remove} and Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-transfer}, each with loss $\varepsilon/3$. If the cube-removal supremum is empty, its $\Sigma$ term already suffices. Otherwise $\N(b)^3>X^2/\mathcal H^2$. For each remaining $L=L_b$ we have $LF\le\Sigma$, so the transfer estimate applies with the unchanged target $\Sigma=XF$. Every child average satisfies \begin{equation}\label{eq:contract} \mathcal H'\le\frac{\mathcal H}{\N(b)^3F^2} <\mathcal H\left(\frac{\mathcal H}{XF}\right)^2 \le\mathcal H D^{-2\kappa}. \end{equation} In particular, $\mathcal H'\le D^{\nu\kappa}$. The other hypotheses survive as well: \begin{equation}\label{eq:survive} \frac{\mathcal H'}{\Sigma'}\le\frac{\mathcal H}{\Sigma} \le D^{-\kappa},\qquad \Sigma'\le L\le\Sigma\le D^{C_0},\qquad \mathcal H',X',F'\ge1. \end{equation} The induction hypothesis applies to the child weight $U$ on $[u/16,4v]$. Since $\|U\|_{C^m}\le1$, it gives the uniform bound \begin{equation}\label{eq:childbound} \sup\frac{\E(\mathcal H',X',F';\xi',U)}{\Sigma'} \ll D^{\varepsilon/3}. \end{equation} The transfer contributes a second factor $D^{\varepsilon/3}$ and cube removal a third. Taking $J_{\nu+1}\ge\max\{J_t(m),J_c\}$ proves the assertion at level $\nu+1$. Thus both the derivative requirement and the total $D^\varepsilon$ loss are controlled. Finally take $\nu=\lceil C_0/\kappa\rceil$; this covers every allowed $\mathcal H$. The number of induction levels depends on $C_0,\kappa$, not on $D$. Suppressing the resulting fixed smoothness norm again, we obtain \begin{equation}\label{eq:finalenergy} \E(\mathcal H,X,F)\ll D^\varepsilon\Sigma \qquad(\mathcal H\le\Sigma D^{-\kappa}). \end{equation} No estimate for zeros of $L(E_d,s)$ or of $\zeta$ is assumed in this induction: its inputs are cube removal and the transfer estimate, and its starting case is counting. In the CM case these inputs, and the completed estimate~\eqref{eq:completed} on which cube removal rests, are proved in Sections~\ref{subsec:b4-completed}, \ref{subsec:b4-cube} and~\ref{subsec:b4-transfer}. Their analytic inputs are the CM theta transformation (Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection}, with Lemmas~\ref{lem:b3-uniform} and~\ref{lem:b3-decay}) and the quadratic large sieve~\cite{GL}. It remains to check the initial scales~\eqref{eq:initial}. With $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$, they satisfy \begin{equation}\label{eq:initialratio} \frac{\mathcal H}{\Sigma}\ll\frac{D^{-\vartheta}}B. \end{equation} For sufficiently large $D$ this is at most $D^{-\vartheta/2}$. Thus~\eqref{eq:finalenergy} applies with $\kappa=\vartheta/2$. Empty ranges and bounded column scales are handled by counting. The first Poisson reduction, Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction}, gives~\eqref{eq:MS}, with the constant controlled by a finite smoothness norm of $W$, and Section~\ref{sec:zeros} then gives the zero-free half-plane. \paragraph{What changes from the zeta guide.} The architecture is the same, but its angular factors change coherently: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d060} \begin{array}{c|cc} &\text{zeta guide}&\text{present CM guide}\\\hline \text{original coefficients}&\muk(n)&\muk(n)\alpha(n)\\ \text{cubic coefficients}&\overline\alpha\gamma_2&\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\\ \text{theta derivative}&\partial_{\bar z}&\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\\ \text{angular factor on cubes}&\overline{\alpha(b)}^3&\overline{\alpha(b)}^6\\ \text{dual angular factor}&\alpha(\ell)&\alpha(\ell)^2 \end{array} \end{equation} These are genuine identities to check, not consequences of the factors having absolute value one. Once checked, the same large-sieve and descent estimates apply. \subsection{Proof of cube removal}\label{subsec:b4-cube} \begin{lemma}[Cube removal; CM form of {\cite[Lemma~5.3]{OAI1112}}]\label{lem:b4-cube} Fix $C_0\ge1$ and $\varepsilon>0$, and let $1\le\mathcal H,X,F\le D^{C_0}$ with $\mathcal H\le\Sigma=XF$. There is $J_c=J_c(\varepsilon,C_0)$ such that, for every character $\xi$ of $\mathfrak G$, compact $I=[u,v]\subset(0,\infty)$ and $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d061} \E(\mathcal H,X,F;\xi,W)\ll_{I,\varepsilon,C_0}D^\varepsilon\Bigl(\Sigma\|W\|_{C^{J_c}(I)}^2+ \sup_{\substack{\N(b)>H_c\\L_b>1}}\E(\mathcal H,L_b,F;\xi,W)\Bigr), \end{equation} with $H_c$ and $L_b$ as in~\eqref{eq:Hc} and $b$ primary and coprime to $6$. An empty supremum is zero, and the supremum is empty if $\mathcal H^2\le X$. This is~\eqref{eq:remove}. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The proof of~\cite[Lemma~5.3]{OAI1112} applies verbatim, with~\eqref{eq:completed} in place of~\cite[Proposition~5.2]{OAI1112} (used at scale $X/\N(h)^3$ with $C_0+1$ in place of $C_0$, since $\N(f)<2D^{C_0}$). The angular factor on the cube indices, $\overline\alpha^{\,6}$ instead of $\overline\alpha^{\,3}$ (see~\eqref{eq:inversion} and~\eqref{eq:T}), enters that proof only in two ways. It is completely multiplicative, so that $\overline{\alpha(h)}^{\,6}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,6}=\overline{\alpha(hc)}^{\,6}$ when the cube indices $h$ of~\eqref{eq:inversion} and $c$ of~\eqref{eq:T} are collected into $b=hc$. And it has absolute value one, which is all that the Cauchy--Schwarz steps use. \end{proof} \subsection{Proof of the transfer estimate}\label{subsec:b4-transfer} Throughout, $\mathcal H,L,F,\Sigma$, $I=[u,v]$ and $\xi$ are as in Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-transfer}, and $I_*=[u/2,2v]$, $I'=[u/16,4v]$. Let $\Phi$ be the row weight of Section~\ref{sec:poisson}, normalized so that $\Phi\ge1$ on $[0,1]$, and let $C_\Phi$ be the constant of Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm}, so that $\widehat\Phi(t)=0$ for $t>C_\Phi$. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:b4-A} \mathcal A(W)=\frac1{LF}\ssum_{F\le\N(f)<2F}\sum_{k\in\OO}\Phi\Bigl(\frac{\N(k)}{\mathcal H}\Bigr) \Bigl|\ssum_na_\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}L\Bigr)\Bigr|^2, \end{equation} the smoothed average displayed before~\eqref{eq:P}; thus $\E(\mathcal H,L,F;\xi,W)\le\mathcal A(W)$. For coprime squarefree $C,t$ and $e_0\mid C$ put $\ell=L/(\N(C)\N(t))$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d062} w_{C,e_0}=\frac{\mathcal H\N(C)}{\N(e_0)L^2F},\qquad Y_{C,e_0}=c_*\frac{\Sigma LF\N(e_0)}{\mathcal H\N(C)^2},\qquad c_*=\max(1,4C_\Phi v^2). \end{equation} For $U\in C_c^\infty(I_*)$ and a character $\xi_1$ of $\mathfrak G$, let $P_{C,e_0,t}(y;U)$ be as in~\eqref{eq:P}, and let \begin{equation}\label{eq:b4-Q} \mathcal Q_{\xi_1}(U)=\sum_{\substack{C,t\ \mathrm{squarefree},\ (C,t)=1\\\N(C)\N(t)\le2vL}} \sum_{e_0\mid C}w_{C,e_0}\sum_{y\in\OO}\Phi\Bigl(\frac{\N(y)}{Y_{C,e_0}}\Bigr)|P_{C,e_0,t}(y;U)|^2, \end{equation} which is~\eqref{eq:Q} written out. The proof follows \cite[Section~7]{OAI1112}. The angular factors enter only through the two Poisson summations (Lemmas~\ref{lem:b4-first} and~\ref{lem:b4-second-id}), which we give in full. They use the paired identities with twists of Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired}: \eqref{eq:b2-reverse} in the first and~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} in the second. The CM changes are the factor $\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)$ there and the coefficients $a_\xi=\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\xi$. \begin{lemma}[First Poisson summation; CM form of {\cite[Lemma~7.1]{OAI1112}}]\label{lem:b4-first} Fix an integer $J_1\ge0$ and $\varepsilon>0$. If $M\ge0$ satisfies $\mathcal Q_{\xi_1}(U)\le M\|U\|_{C^{J_1}(I_*)}^2$ for every $U\in C_c^\infty(I_*)$ and every character $\xi_1$, then $\mathcal A(W)\ll D^\varepsilon(\Sigma+M)\|W\|_{C^{2J_1+4}(I)}^2$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Expand the square in~\eqref{eq:b4-A} with $n_1$ unconjugated and $n_2$ conjugated, and write $C=(n_1,n_2)$ and $n_i=Cu_i$, so that $(u_1,u_2)=(u_1u_2,C)=1$. By~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} and $|a_\xi(C)|=1$, $a_\xi(n_1)\overline{a_\xi(n_2)}=a_\xi(u_1)\overline{a_\xi(u_2)}\chi_{u_1}(C)^4\overline{\chi_{u_2}(C)^4}$. Also $\chi_{n_1}(k)\overline{\chi_{n_2}(k)}=\ind_{(k,C)=1}\chi_{u_1}(k)\overline{\chi_{u_2}(k)}$ and $\chi_{n_1}(f)^4\overline{\chi_{n_2}(f)^4}=\ind_{(C,f)=1}\chi_{u_1}(f)^4\overline{\chi_{u_2}(f)^4}$. The row character $\chi_{u_1}\overline{\chi_{u_2}}$ is primitive modulo $u_1u_2$, so the sum over $k$ with weight $\Phi(\N(k)/\mathcal H)\ind_{(k,C)=1}$ is given by~\eqref{eq:poisson-exact} with $\psi=\chi_{u_1}\overline{\chi_{u_2}}$, $(z_1,z_2,g)=(u_1,u_2,C)$ and $\mathcal H$ in place of $H$. The frequency $h=0$ contributes only when $u_1=u_2=1$, and these terms give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d063} Z=\frac{\mathcal H\widehat\Phi(0)}{LF}\ssum_{F\le\N(f)<2F}\ssum_{(C,f)=1} \Bigl|W\Bigl(\frac{\N(C)}L\Bigr)\Bigr|^2\prod_{\pi\mid C}\Bigl(1-\frac1{\N(\pi)}\Bigr) \ll_I\mathcal H\|W\|_\infty^2\le\Sigma\|W\|_\infty^2 . \end{equation} For $h\ne0$ apply~\eqref{eq:b2-reverse} at $(u_1,u_2)$; here the CM coefficients $\muk(u)\overline{\alpha(u)}\xi_1(u)$ appear. The characters at $u_1$ coming from $h$, $e_0$, $C$ and $f$ combine as $\overline{\chi_{u_1}(h)}\chi_{u_1}(e_0)\chi_{u_1}(C)^4\chi_{u_1}(f)^4 =\overline{\chi_{u_1}(hf^2)}\chi_{u_1}(C)^4\chi_{u_1}(e_0)$, since $\chi^4=\overline\chi^{\,2}$ with the zero-value convention; those at $u_2$ are the complex conjugates of the same expression at $u_2$. Insert $\ind_{(u_1,u_2)=1}=\sum_{t\mid u_1,\,t\mid u_2}\muk(t)$ and write $u_i=tx_i$. Squarefreeness gives $(x_i,t)=1$, and no condition $(x_1,x_2)=1$ remains. The factors at $t$ have product $|\overline{\alpha(t)}\xi_1(t)\chi_t(hf^2)\chi_t(C)^4\chi_t(e_0)|^2=\ind_{(t,Chf)=1}$, and $\muk(u_1)\muk(u_2)=\muk(x_1)\muk(x_2)$. With $\N(u_1u_2)=\N(t)^2\N(x_1)\N(x_2)$, $\N(t)\ell=L/\N(C)$ and the factor $1/(LF)$, this gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:b4-first-id} \begin{split} \mathcal A(W)-Z=\sum_{\xi_1}\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)\sum_{\substack{C,t\\(C,t)=1}}\sum_{e_0\mid C} &\muk(e_0)\muk(t)w_{C,e_0}\ssum_{\substack{F\le\N(f)<2F\\(f,Ct)=1}}\ \sum_{\substack{h\ne0\\(h,t)=1}}\\ &\times\ssum_{x_1,x_2}p_{hf^2}(x_1)\overline{p_{hf^2}(x_2)}\, \mathcal K_h\Bigl(\frac{\N(x_1)}\ell,\frac{\N(x_2)}\ell\Bigr), \end{split} \end{equation} where $C,t$ are squarefree with $\N(C)\N(t)\le vL$, $p_y(x)=\muk(x)\overline{\alpha(x)}\xi_1(x)\ind_{(x,t)=1}\overline{\chi_x(y)}\chi_x(C)^4\chi_x(e_0)$ are the coefficients of~\eqref{eq:P}, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d064} \mathcal K_h(z_1,z_2)=(z_1z_2)^{-1/2}W(z_1)\overline{W(z_2)} \widehat\Phi\Bigl(\frac{\mathcal H\N(h)\N(C)^2}{L^2\N(e_0)z_1z_2}\Bigr),\qquad \sup_{C,e_0,h}\|\mathcal K_h\|_{C^q(I^2)}\ll_{I,q}\|W\|_{C^q(I)}^2. \end{equation} The factor $\overline{\alpha(x)}$ in $p_y$ is the only CM change; in \cite[(7.1)]{OAI1112} the coefficient is $\muk(x)\xi_1(x)$. The support of $\widehat\Phi$ forces $\N(h)\le C_\Phi v^2L^2\N(e_0)/(\mathcal H\N(C)^2)$, so $y=hf^2$ satisfies $\N(y)\le4C_\Phi v^2L^2F^2\N(e_0)/(\mathcal H\N(C)^2)\le Y_{C,e_0}$, because $LF\le\Sigma$. This is the enlargement~\eqref{eq:enlarge}. For fixed $C,e_0,t$ the map $(f,h)\mapsto hf^2$ has multiplicity at most $\tau(y)\ll D^\varepsilon$, and $\Phi\ge1$ on $[0,1]$, so \begin{equation}\label{eq:d065} \sum_{C,t}\sum_{e_0\mid C}w_{C,e_0}\sum_{f,h}|P_{C,e_0,t}(hf^2;U)|^2 \ll D^\varepsilon\mathcal Q_{\xi_1}(U)\le D^\varepsilon M\|U\|_{C^{J_1}(I_*)}^2 . \end{equation} Now \cite[Lemma~B.2]{OAI1112}, with rows $(C,t,e_0,f,h)$, weights $w_{C,e_0}$, coefficients $\muk(e_0)\muk(t)w_{C,e_0}$, both column sums equal to $P_{C,e_0,t}(hf^2;\cdot)$, and the kernels $\mathcal K_h$ supported in $I^2\subset\operatorname{int}I_*^{\,2}$, gives $|\mathcal A(W)-Z|\ll D^\varepsilon M\|W\|_{C^{2J_1+4}(I)}^2$, since there are finitely many $\xi_1$ and $|\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)|\le1$. \end{proof} For the second Poisson summation, fix coprime squarefree $C,t$, $e_0\mid C$, a character $\xi_1$, scales $\ell,Y>0$, and $U\in C_c^\infty(I_*)$ with $I_*=[a_*,b_*]$. Put $P(y)=P_{C,e_0,t}(y;U)$ with this $\ell$, $\mathcal M=\sum_{y\in\OO}\Phi(\N(y)/Y)|P(y)|^2$, and $U_0(x)=x^{-1/2}U(x)$. \begin{lemma}[Second Poisson identity; CM form of {\cite[Lemma~7.2]{OAI1112}}]\label{lem:b4-second-id} With $c_{\xi'}(\xi_1)$ as in Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d066} \mathcal M=Z'+\sum_{g,e,w,h_2,\xi'}\frac{Y\muk(e)\muk(w)c_{\xi'}(\xi_1)\N(g)}{\N(e)\ell} \ssum_{n_1,n_2}a^\sharp(n_1)\overline{a^\sharp(n_2)}\, \mathcal K\Bigl(\frac{\N(n_1)}{X_0'},\frac{\N(n_2)}{X_0'}\Bigr). \end{equation} Here $g,w$ are squarefree, $e\mid g$ and $0\ne h_2\in\OO$, subject to $(g,Ct)=(w,gCth_2)=1$, $\N(gw)\le b_*\ell$ and $\N(h_2)\le C_\Phi b_*^2\ell^2\N(e)/(Y\N(g)^2)$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d201}\begin{gathered} X_0'=\frac\ell{\N(gw)},\qquad a^\sharp(n)=a_{\xi'}(n)\ind_{(n,tg/e)=1}\chi_n(e_0eh_2)\chi_n(Cew)^4,\\ \mathcal K(x_1,x_2)=U_0(x_1)\overline{U_0(x_2)} \widehat\Phi\Bigl(\frac{Y\N(h_2)\N(g)^2}{\N(e)\ell^2x_1x_2}\Bigr). \end{gathered}\end{equation} The zero-frequency term is $Z'=Y\widehat\Phi(0)\ssum_{(g,Ct)=1}|U(\N(g)/\ell)|^2\prod_{\pi\mid g}(1-\N(\pi)^{-1})\ll_{I_*}Y\ell\|U\|_\infty^2$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Expand $|P(y)|^2$ with $n_1$ from $P$ and $n_2$ from $\overline P$, put $g=(n_1,n_2)$ and $n_i=gz_i$. Nonzero terms have $(z_1,z_2)=(z_1z_2,gCt)=(g,Ct)=1$, where $(g,C)=1$ comes from $|\chi_g(C^4e_0)|^2$. Moreover $\overline{\chi_{n_1}(y)}\chi_{n_2}(y)=\ind_{(y,g)=1}\overline{\chi_{z_1}(y)}\chi_{z_2}(y)$. Apply \cite[Lemma~21]{QF} with $\psi=\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2}$, primitive modulo $z_1z_2$, and exclusion $g$. It introduces $e\mid g$ and a frequency $h_2$, and its zero frequency occurs only for $z_1=z_2=1$, giving $Z'$. The coefficient of $n_1$ is $\muk(n_1)\overline{\alpha(n_1)}\xi_1(n_1)$ and that of $n_2$ is its complex conjugate. Since $\muk(g)^2=|\alpha(g)|^2=|\xi_1(g)|^2=1$, their product is $\muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)\xi_1(z_1)\overline{\xi_1(z_2)}$. So for $h_2\ne0$,~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} replaces it, together with $\gamma(\psi)$, by $\sum_{\xi'}c_{\xi'}(\xi_1)a_{\xi'}(z_1)\overline{a_{\xi'}(z_2)}$. This is the only CM change: in \cite[proof of Lemma~7.2]{OAI1112} the M\"obius coefficient is $\muk\xi_1$ and the cubic coefficient is $\overline\alpha\gamma_2\xi'$. The characters combine as \begin{equation}\label{eq:d067} \psi(e)\overline{\psi(h_2)}\chi_{z_1}(C^4e_0)\overline{\chi_{z_2}(C^4e_0)} =\chi_{z_1}(e_0eh_2)\chi_{z_1}(Ce)^4\,\overline{\chi_{z_2}(e_0eh_2)\chi_{z_2}(Ce)^4}, \end{equation} since $\overline{\chi_z(e)}=\chi_z(e)^5$. Insert $\ind_{(z_1,z_2)=1}=\sum_{w\mid z_1,\,w\mid z_2}\muk(w)$ and write $z_i=wn_i$; then $(w,gCt)=1$. By~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted}, $a_{\xi'}(wn_i)=a_{\xi'}(w)a_{\xi'}(n_i)\chi_{n_i}(w)^4$. The factors at $w$ have product $|a_{\xi'}(w)\chi_w(e_0eh_2)\chi_w(Ce)^4|^2=\ind_{(w,h_2)=1}$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d068} \ind_{(n,gCtw)=1}\chi_n(e_0eh_2)\chi_n(Cew)^4=\ind_{(n,tg/e)=1}\chi_n(e_0eh_2)\chi_n(Cew)^4. \end{equation} Finally $U(\N(gz_1)/\ell)\overline{U(\N(gz_2)/\ell)}/\sqrt{\N(z_1z_2)} =\frac{\N(g)}\ell U_0(x_1)\overline{U_0(x_2)}$ with $x_i=\N(gz_i)/\ell=\N(n_i)/X_0'$, the Poisson factor is $Y\muk(e)/\N(e)$, and the argument of $\widehat\Phi$ is $Y\N(h_2)/(\N(e)\N(z_1)\N(z_2))=Y\N(h_2)\N(g)^2/(\N(e)\ell^2x_1x_2)$. The support conditions follow from those of $U$ and $\widehat\Phi$. \end{proof} \begin{lemma}[Second transfer; CM form of {\cite[Lemma~7.3]{OAI1112}}]\label{lem:b4-second} For an integer $m\ge0$, let $S_m$ be the supremum in~\eqref{eq:transferprop}: over characters $\xi'$, parameters $\mathcal H',X',F'\ge1$ satisfying~\eqref{eq:transfer} with $\Sigma'=X'F'$, and $U\in C_c^\infty(I')$ with $\|U\|_{C^m(I')}\le1$. Then, for every $\varepsilon>0$ and $U\in C_c^\infty(I_*)$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d069} \mathcal Q_{\xi_1}(U)\ll D^\varepsilon\Sigma(1+S_m)\|U\|_{C^{2m+4}(I_*)}^2 . \end{equation} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The proof of \cite[Lemma~7.3]{OAI1112} applies verbatim, with \cite[Lemma~7.2]{OAI1112} replaced by Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-second-id} and \cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI1112} replaced by its CM form~\eqref{eq:b2-remove}. The coefficients $a_{\xi'}$ enter only through these two inputs, and the steps are the ones described after~\eqref{eq:enlarge}: the preimage regrouping~\eqref{eq:localcancel}, which gives the factor $\tau(r)\ind_{f'\mid k'}$; the retained support~\eqref{eq:retained} and~\eqref{eq:childcolumn}; exclusion removal~\eqref{eq:exclusionswap}; and~\cite[Lemma~B.2]{OAI1112} for the kernels. \end{proof} \paragraph{Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-transfer}.} Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-second} supplies the hypothesis of Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-first} with $J_1=2m+4$ and $M\ll D^{\delta/2}\Sigma(1+S_m)$. Then Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-first} gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d070} \E(\mathcal H,L,F;\xi,W)\le\mathcal A(W)\ll D^{\delta}\Sigma(1+S_m)\|W\|_{C^{4m+12}(I)}^2, \end{equation} which is~\eqref{eq:transferprop} with $J_t(m)=4m+12$, as for $\zeta$, and in the stronger form with the smooth majorant $\mathcal A(W)$ on the left. \qed %======================== PART II: THE 7/8 BOUNDARY ======================== \clearpage \section{Part II: the \texorpdfstring{$7/8$}{7/8} boundary for the same curves}\label{sec:78} The remaining sections adapt OpenAI's $7/8$ argument~\cite{OAI78}, explained for $\zeta$ in~\cite{G78}, to the curves $E_d$. The result is a wider zero-free strip. Throughout Part~II, $\mu=\muk$ is the M\"obius function on primary elements, and $\chi_\bullet(u)$ denotes the character $n\mapsto\chi_n(u)$. \begin{theorem}\label{thm:78} Let $\eta$ be a finite-order Hecke character of $K=\mathbb Q(\sqrt{-3})$, and put $\psi=\overline\alpha\,\eta$, that is, $\psi(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}\,\eta(n)$ on primary $n$ prime to the conductor of $\eta$. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:d071} L(s,\psi)\ne0\qquad(\Re s>7/8). \end{equation} In particular, for every nonzero integer $d$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d072} L(E_d,s)\ne0\qquad(\Re s>11/8), \end{equation} a zero-free strip $11/8<\Re s<3/2$ along the right edge of the critical strip. \end{theorem} \paragraph{How the curves enter.} Put $\psi_d^*(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}\chi_n(4d)$ for primary $n$. If $p\nmid6d$ splits as $p=\pi\bar\pi$ with $\pi$ primary, then $\sqrt p\,\bigl(\psi_d^*(\pi)+\psi_d^*(\bar\pi)\bigr)=a_p(d)$; if $p\nmid6d$ and $p\equiv2\pmod3$, then $\psi_d^*(-p)=-1$, matching $a_p(d)=0$ (Proposition~\ref{prop:b1-points}). Since $\psi_d^*$ and the character $\psi_d$ of Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-euler} give the same Euler factors (see below), that lemma gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d073} L(E_d,s+\tfrac12)=B_d(s)\sum_n\frac{\psi_d^*(n)}{\N(n)^s}, \end{equation} with $B_d$ holomorphic and nonzero in $\Re s>0$. (We also checked both statements numerically for $2352$ split pairs $(d,p)$, testing both primes above each $p$, and $854$ inert pairs.) The character $\psi_d^*$ is of the type in Theorem~\ref{thm:78}. Indeed $n\mapsto\overline{\alpha(n)}$, on primary $n$, is a Hecke character modulo $3$ with infinity type $\bar z/|z|$, and $n\mapsto\chi_n(4d)$ is a finite-order ray character whose conductor is supported on the primes dividing $6d$~\cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI78}. So $\psi_d^*=\overline\alpha\eta_d$ with $\eta_d$ of finite order, and its primitive inducing character $\psi_d'$ lies in the family $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ defined below. Moreover $\sum_n\psi_d^*(n)\N(n)^{-s}=L(s,\psi_d')\prod_{\mathfrak p\mid6d}\bigl(1-\psi_d'(\mathfrak p)\N\mathfrak p^{-s}\bigr)$, and each factor is nonzero in $\Re s>0$ because $|\psi_d'(\mathfrak p)|\le1$. Hence $L(s,\psi_d')\ne0$ for $\Re s>7/8$ implies $L(E_d,s)\ne0$ for $\Re s>11/8$. The character $\psi_d^*$ is the complex conjugate of the character $\psi_d=\alpha\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(4d)}=\alpha\,\chi_\bullet\bigl((4d)^5\bigr)$ used in Sections~\ref{sec:lattice}--\ref{sec:descent}. The two have the same $L$-function: since $4d$ is rational, $\psi_d^*(\bar\pi)=\overline{\psi_d^*(\pi)}$, so both characters give the same Euler factor at each split prime, and $\psi_d^*(-p)=-1$ is real. More generally, every unitary Hecke character of $K$ whose infinity type is $(\bar z/|z|)^{\pm1}$ is of the form $\overline\alpha\eta$ or its conjugate $\alpha\bar\eta$. So the theorem covers every weight-two newform with complex multiplication by $K$~\cite{Ribet77}. In particular it covers every elliptic curve over $\mathbb Q$ with complex multiplication by an order of $K$ (the $j$-invariants $0$, $54000$ and $-12288000$; see~\cite{Cox89}): by Deuring's theorem~\cite{Deuring} the $L$-function of such a curve is $L(s,\psi)$ for a Hecke character $\psi$ of $K$ of this infinity type, also when the order is not maximal~\cite[Chapter~II, \S10, and Appendix~A, \S3]{SilATAEC}. \paragraph{What ``proof'' means in Part II.} We do not rewrite the $16{,}700$ lines of~\cite{OAI78}. Instead we do three things: \begin{enumerate} \item we prove the identities in which the angular factor changes a computation, and test them numerically; \item we state each ingredient of~\cite{OAI78} in the form it takes for a CM target; \item we checked, section by section, that each proof in~\cite{OAI78} uses only properties that CM characters share with finite-order characters, or we record the change. \end{enumerate} Section~\ref{sec:78status} lists the statements that needed new proofs; they are proved, at the generality of~\cite{OAI78}, in Appendices~\ref{app:s1-general}--\ref{app:s6}. \subsection{The family and the number \texorpdfstring{$\beta_*$}{beta*}} Let $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ be the set of primitive Hecke characters of $K$ with infinity type $\bar z/|z|$, that is, the primitive characters inducing $\overline\alpha\eta$ with $\eta$ of finite order. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d074} \beta_*=\sup\bigl(\{1/2\}\cup\{\Re\rho:\ L(\rho,\psi)=0,\ 1/2\le\Re\rho\le1,\ \psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\}\bigr). \end{equation} Three properties make this family suitable. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{Closure under finite-order twists.} If $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ and $\theta$ has finite order, then the primitive character inducing $\psi\theta$ lies in $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. Every denominator row below is such a twist. \item \emph{Conjugation.} $\overline\psi=\alpha\bar\eta$ and $L(s,\overline\psi)=\overline{L(\bar s,\psi)}$, so conjugates contribute no new real parts of zeros. \item \emph{No poles.} Every $L(s,\psi)$ with $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ is entire. No member is principal, so the principal-character clauses of~\cite{OAI78} disappear for the target and the denominators. They remain for the finite-order numerators: the row $u=1$, and the rows supported on $S$, which the detector removes as in~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. \end{itemize} The rows of the argument also contain finite-order $L$-functions. For them we do not use $\beta_*$. Instead we use OpenAI's theorem~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}: they have no zeros in $\Re s>7/8$. So, under the contradiction hypothesis $\beta_*>7/8$, every target, numerator and row $L$-function whose zeros enter the detector or logarithmic control has its zeros in $\Re s\le\beta_*$. In~\cite{OAI78} this was automatic from the definition of $\beta_*$. Here the finite-order theorem is an input in two ways: wherever~\cite{OAI78} uses that a finite-order row or witness character has no zeros to the right of $\beta_*$ (the bin ceiling of the detector, Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}, and the global part of the logarithmic control for the numerators and for the finite-order members of the label sets), and in the zero-free hypothesis for the slot characters in the plain moment (Section~\ref{sec:78moments}). There is no circularity: the zero-location bounds used to prove OpenAI's theorem concern finite-order $L$-functions, and do not assume a CM zero-free strip. Its theta completion also contains angular auxiliary series, for example $L_0(s,\Psi)=\sum_b\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,3}\Psi(b)^3\N(b)^{-3s+1/2}$ \cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI78}; their zeros are not used in that proof. The continuation criterion~\cite[Prop.~2.1]{OAI78} (see~\cite[Proposition~1]{G78}) holds verbatim with $\eta$ replaced by $\psi$ and the family of primitive finite-order characters replaced by $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. Besides its hypotheses on $H_\psi$ (holomorphic on $\Re s>\sigma_0$ with $|H_\psi-1|\le1/2$; here $H_\psi$ comes from the principal row, Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-rows}), its proof uses only: \begin{itemize} \item the definition of $\beta_*$ as a supremum over $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$; \item absolute convergence of the Euler product of $L^S(s,\psi)$ in $\Re s>1$, so that $1/L^S(s,\psi)$ is holomorphic there, and the bound $|1/L^S(s,\psi)|\le\zeta_K(2)$ on $\Re s\ge2$; \item the continuation of $L(s,\psi)$ to $\Re s>\sigma_0$ (it is entire), so that a zero of $L(s,\psi)$ is a pole of $1/L^S(s,\psi)$; \item the nonvanishing of finitely many Euler factors in $\Re s>0$. \end{itemize} It therefore suffices, for each $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, to construct a function $J_\psi(Z)$ with the low and high estimates of the criterion, for $\sigma_0=7/8$ and $C(s)=s-11/16$, with margins independent of $\psi$. The construction is that of~\cite{OAI78}, with three main changes: \begin{itemize} \item the weight of the target (Section~\ref{sec:78probe}); \item the bookkeeping of the characters attached to rows (Section~\ref{sec:78rows}); \item an angular factor in the moment estimates (Section~\ref{sec:78moments}). \end{itemize} There are also three smaller ones: OpenAI's theorem for finite-order characters~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78} is an input for the finite-order rows and slots; the capacity parameter is fixed at $\kappa=3/4$, with the bin ceiling $\delta\le2\beta_*-1$ kept separate from it; and the slots are measured against the finite-order part of the row character (Section~\ref{sec:78rows}). Section~\ref{sec:78final} checks that the final inequality holds with these changes. \paragraph{The arithmetic datum.} \cite{OAI78} fixes for each target a datum (\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}): a finite set $S$ of primes containing those above $6$, and complete zero-extended presentations of finitely many \emph{finite-order} ray characters with moduli supported on $S$, together with the finite ray group presenting them. Every ``fixed character'' of~\cite{OAI78} belongs to this datum, and constants may depend on it. A CM target $\psi=\overline\alpha\eta$ is not of this kind. We put the finite part $\eta$ into the datum. The excluded set $S$, and with it $b_*,\xi,\tau,\Xi$, is chosen as in~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78} for $\eta$; it contains the primes above $6$, hence the conductor of $\overline\alpha$, so the same $S$ serves for $\psi$. The ray group $T$ is chosen independently of the target~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78}, and $\Theta_0=\langle\eta,\widehat T\rangle$ is finite. The angular factor is carried as an explicit coefficient $\overline{\alpha(n)}$ of primary generators, as~\cite{OAI78} already does with $\overline\alpha\gamma_2$ and in~\cite[eq.~(4.7)]{OAI78}. Whenever~\cite{OAI78} applies a ray-class argument to a fixed character (a finite Fourier expansion on the fixed ray group, \cite[Section~4.2]{OAI78}; membership in the finite group generated by the target and $\widehat T$; ``the same fixed finite-ray twist'' in a product of plain factors, \cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}), the CM version applies it to the finite part only, and keeps $\alpha^{\pm1}$ outside, with the same orientation on every variable that carries it. This is used in items~1, 3, 4 and~5 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}. \section{The probe for a CM target}\label{sec:78probe} \subsection{The weight} In~\cite{OAI78} the target $\eta$ enters the probe~\cite[eq.~(6.1)]{OAI78}, \cite[\S3.1]{G78}, only through the weight on the completed index $A=cn^3$: $\gamma_2(c)\overline{\alpha(A)}\eta(A)$. For the target $\psi=\overline\alpha\eta$ the weight is therefore \begin{equation}\label{eq:cm-weight} \gamma_2(c)\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}\,\psi(cn^3) =\gamma_2(c)\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}\,\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,6}\,\eta(c)\eta(n)^3 . \end{equation} Everything else in the probe is unchanged: \begin{itemize} \item the additive polynomial with its sextic Gauss sums; \item the averaging variable $m$; \item the fixed phases; \item the scales $X,Y,Z$. \end{itemize} \paragraph{Why $\overline\alpha\eta$ and not $\alpha\bar\eta$.} The two targets have conjugate zeros, so either could be used. With $\alpha\bar\eta$ the weight would be $\gamma_2(c)\bar\eta(cn^3)$, with no angular factor. The completed sums would then be sums of coefficients of the cubic theta function itself. Its expansion at the identity cusp has a nonzero constant term; the expansions at the other two cusps have none~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF}. In~\cite{OAI78} a $\bar z$-derivative removes that term (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation}]{OAI78}). Without a derivative it enters the reflection of the translates attached to the identity cusp, and the proof in~\cite{OAI78} has no provision for the resulting term. With the target $\overline\alpha\eta$ the weight carries $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$. The completed sums are then those of $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$, which is the input of Section~\ref{sec:theta}, and the constant term is removed. \subsection{Second evaluation: the rows} \begin{proposition}\label{prop:cm-rows} With the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight}, Poisson summation in $m$ gives the representation~\cite[eq.~(7.5)]{OAI78} of the probe, with row $u$ equal to \begin{equation}\label{eq:d075} \frac{\zeta_K^S(6z)\,L^S\bigl(w,\chi_\bullet(u)\bigr)} {L^S\bigl(x,\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}\bigr)}\,\mathcal H_{\psi,u}(x,w,z), \end{equation} where $\mathcal H_{\psi,u}$ is the Euler product of~\cite[Lemma~7.1]{OAI78} with $\eta(p)$ replaced by $\psi(p)$. It has the following properties: \begin{itemize} \item it converges in the same regions; \item it satisfies $\mathcal H_{\psi,u}\ll\N(u)^\varepsilon$ there; \item $\mathcal H_{\psi,1}=1+O(P_0^{-4/5})$ in the second region of~\cite{OAI78} (\cite[Lemma~7.1]{OAI78}). \end{itemize} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} \cite{OAI78} evaluates the coefficient prime by prime. The target enters only through the unimodular numbers $\eta(p)$ and complete multiplicativity, and no ray-class condition on $p$ is used (\cite[Section~7.2]{OAI78}). The angular factor of the weight is absorbed by the Gauss-sum identity \begin{equation}\label{eq:signal-cm} \overline{\alpha(c)}\,\gamma_2(c)\,\gamma_1(c)=\mu(c)\,G(c), \end{equation} a rearrangement of the second identity $\gamma_1\gamma_2=\mu\alpha G$ in~\cite[eq.~(4.7)]{OAI78}. Here $c$ is squarefree, $\gamma_1$ is the normalized sextic Gauss sum, and $G(c)=\overline{\chi_c(4)}\gamma_3(c)$ is the unimodular phase of~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI78}. It factors through a fixed ray group supported over $2$ and $3$ but is not multiplicative, $G(vw)=G(v)G(w)\mathcal R(v,w)$~\cite[eq.~(4.5)]{OAI78}; as in~\cite{OAI78} it is cancelled by the correction $\overline{G(cn^3)}$ of the probe, and no angular factor is involved. For the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight}, $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(c)\eta(c)\gamma_1(c)=\mu(c)G(c)\psi(c)$. So every entry of the local table of~\cite{OAI78} holds with $\eta(p)$ replaced by $\psi(p)$: \begin{itemize} \item The squarefree part gives $-\psi(p)\overline{\chi_p(u)}\N(p)^{-x}$, which is the Euler factor of $1/L(x,\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)})$. \item The cube part gives the phases $a_p=\overline{\alpha(p)}^{\,3}\psi(p)^3$ and $b_p=\overline{\alpha(p)}^{\,2}\psi(p)^2\overline{\chi_p(4)}$. \item The relation $b_p^3=a_p^2$ used there still holds, since $\chi_p(4)^3=(4/p)_2=1$. \end{itemize} The convergence regions and the bounds for $\mathcal H$ use only $|\psi(p)|=1$. \end{proof} We checked~\eqref{eq:signal-cm} numerically at $60$ primes (error below $4\cdot10^{-15}$). The proposition gives the following. \begin{itemize} \item The numerators $L(w,\chi_\bullet(u))$ have finite order. They are the same as for $\zeta$. \item The denominators $L(x,\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)})$ are induced by members of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(d)) and are never principal. \item The principal row $u=1$ is $\zeta_K^S(w)\zeta_K^S(6z)/L^S(x,\psi)$. Its residues at $w=1$ and $z=1/6$ give the signal with $H_\psi(x)/L^S(x,\psi)$, and with the same positive constant $c_S$. The positivity $M(1/6)>0$ is a property of the averaging weight alone. \end{itemize} \subsection{First evaluation: completed rows with two derivatives} Cauchy--Schwarz splits the probe \cite[\S3.2]{G78} into two mean squares. The first is the additive one, which does not involve the target. The second is the mean square of the completed rows \begin{equation}\label{eq:d076} B_m=\sum_{\substack{c\ {\rm sf},\ n\\(cn,S)=1}} \frac{\gamma_2(c)\,\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,2}\,\nu(cn^3)\,\chi_{cn^3}(m)}{\sqrt{\N(c)}\,\N(n)} \,V\Bigl(\frac{\N(c)\N(n)^3}Z\Bigr), \end{equation} where $c$ and $n$ are primary and may share primes. Here $\nu$ is a finite-order character whose conductor is supported on the fixed set $S$, extended by zero; it is the finite part $\eta$ times the fixed phases. The test $V$ is the Gaussian $V_{\rm G}$ of~\cite[Section~5.5]{OAI78}, which does not have compact support. The angular factor must stay in the weight, not in $\nu$: the theta step of~\cite{OAI78} expands $\nu$ over residue classes, which is impossible for $\overline\alpha$. \begin{proposition}\label{prop:cm-completed} For every $\varepsilon>0$ and every $Q=Z^M$ with $M$ in a fixed bounded range, $\sum_{0<\N(m)\le Q}|B_m|^2\ll Z^{\varepsilon}(Q+Q^2/Z)$, uniformly over the fixed finite family of finite-ray twists $\nu$ of~\cite{OAI78}. This is the case $N=1$ of~\cite[Lemma~5.8]{OAI78}, summed over the dyads of the powerful part of~$m$. \end{proposition} This is~\eqref{eq:s1-cm-completed}, proved in Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general} for every log-Schwartz test $V$, with a finite seminorm of $V$ in the constant. \cite{OAI78} proves its version through its completed reflection \cite[Prop.~5.1]{OAI78}, which is the transformation formula for $\partial_{\bar z}\theta$. For~\eqref{eq:cm-weight} one uses instead $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$, as in Section~\ref{sec:theta} and Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}; at the generality of~\cite{OAI78} this is Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}. Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} alone does not suffice, because the probe uses the Gaussian test and an excluded set $S$ that contains every prime of norm at most $P_0$ and the moduli of~$\eta$~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78}. The changes are: \begin{center} \begin{tabular}{lll} \toprule & $\zeta$ and finite order~\cite{OAI78} & CM target\\\midrule derivative & $\partial_{\bar z}\overline\theta$ & $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\overline\theta$\\ gamma factor of $T(s)$ & $\Gamma(s+\frac13)\Gamma(s+\frac23)$ & $\Gamma(s+\frac56)\Gamma(s+\frac76)$\\ reflected kernel & $\prod_\pm\frac{\Gamma(1+t\pm1/6)}{\Gamma(1-t\pm1/6)}$ & $\frac{\Gamma(4/3+t)\Gamma(5/3+t)}{\Gamma(4/3-t)\Gamma(5/3-t)}$\\ cusp scalar & $-\frac{i}{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$ & $-\frac1{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$\\ angular factor, original side & $\overline{\alpha(n)}\,\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,3}$ & $\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}$\\ angular factor, dual side & $\alpha(\ell)$ & $\alpha(\ell)^2$\\\bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} Here the $j$-th derivative ($j=1,2$) of the completed theta sum at $z=0$ is integrated against $v^{2s+j-2}\,dv$; in both cases the result is $\frac{3^{5/2}}4\bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\bigr)^s$ times the gamma factor times $T(s)$. (With $v^{2s-1}\,dv$, as in~\eqref{eq:b3-J}, the CM factor is $\Gamma(s+\frac13)\Gamma(s+\frac23)$ times $T(s-\frac12)$.) Both kernels satisfy $|R(\sigma+iu)|\ll_A(1+|u|)^{4\sigma}$ on $-1/4\le\sigma\le A$. The CM kernel is holomorphic for $\Re t>-4/3$; OAI78's is holomorphic for $\Re t>-5/6$. So the reflected weight obeys the same bound $\ll\min(x^{1/4},x^{-A})$, with the same seminorms (Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}(e)). The other ingredients carry over as follows. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{Dual lengths.} They are unchanged. \item \emph{Quadratic large sieve.} The dual angular factor $\alpha(\ell)^2$ is a unimodular coefficient of the dual index, so it is absorbed into the arbitrary coefficients of the sieve. \item \emph{Marks.} Slot primes in the completed index are handled in~\cite{OAI78} through $\ind_{q\mid A}=1-\chi_q(A)^0$, which never requires splitting $\overline\alpha$. \item \emph{Phases.} The cusp scalar $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$, which replaces $-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$, is completely multiplicative, so it splits into a fixed, a row and a tuple factor exactly as in~\cite[Section~14.2]{OAI78}. The cross-prime phases~\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{The reflected additive phase}]{OAI78} do not involve the derivative. \end{itemize} The balanced low estimate $|I_\psi(Z^{1/2},Z^{1/2},Z)|\ll Z^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ follows from the proposition as in~\cite{OAI78}; it is used only in the $11/12$ stage of~\cite{OAI78}. The compensated probe needs more than Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-completed}. Its marked rows involve sums over tuples of slot primes, divisibility conditions on the completed index, and a scale that depends on the tuple. In~\cite{OAI78} their bound comes from Corollary~14.1 and Lemmas~14.2, 14.3 and~15.1. Their CM forms, with the same uniformity in the tuples, the masks and the smooth weights, are Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-marked} and Lemmas~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy} and~\ref{lem:s1-probe-row-norm} in Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general}; \cite[Lemma~14.2]{OAI78} does not involve the weight. The compensated low estimate $|I_{\rm mod}(Z)|\ll Z^{3/16+\varepsilon}$ then follows as in~\cite[Prop.~15.3]{OAI78}, since the additive Gram bound~\cite[Prop.~15.2]{OAI78}, a planar additive large sieve (compare~\cite{Hux68}), does not involve the target. We checked numerically: \begin{itemize} \item the Bessel--Mellin identities for one and two derivatives (relative error $3\cdot10^{-26}$); \item the two reflection constants; \item the Stirling exponents of the kernels. \end{itemize} \section{Rows, zeros and prime slots}\label{sec:78rows} \subsection{Growth of the CM \texorpdfstring{$L$}{L}-functions} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:cm-growth} Let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ have conductor $\mathfrak f$, and put $Q=\N\mathfrak f$. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:d077} \Lambda(s,\psi)=(3Q)^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}\,\Gamma(s+\tfrac12)\,L(s,\psi) \end{equation} is entire and $\Lambda(s,\psi)=\epsilon(\psi)\Lambda(1-s,\overline\psi)$ with $|\epsilon(\psi)|=1$. Moreover $|L(\sigma+it,\psi)|\ll Q^{3/5}(3+|t|)^2$ for $-1/10\le\sigma\le11/10$, with an absolute implied constant. This is the bound of~\cite[Lemma~4.8]{OAI78} for finite-order characters. For every compact $I\subset(-\frac12,\frac32)$ and $\sigma\in I$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d078} |L(\sigma+it,\psi)|\ll_I(3Q)^{1/2-\sigma}(3+|t|)^{1-2\sigma}\,|L(1-\sigma-it,\overline\psi)| . \end{equation} All of this holds for $\overline\psi$ as well. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} See Appendix~\ref{app:s2-hecke}, Section~\ref{sec:s2-strip}. The functional equation is proved there from a theta series with the harmonic polynomial $\bar a$, by Hecke's method~\cite{Hec20} (see~\cite[Ch.~VII, \S\S7--8]{Neukirch}), with $\epsilon(\psi)$ an explicit normalized Gauss sum (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}). The gamma quotient $\Gamma(\frac32-s)/\Gamma(\frac12+s)$ has the exponent $1-2\sigma$ of $\Gamma(1-s)/\Gamma(s)$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-gamma}). The strip bound then follows by the damped Phragm\'en--Lindel\"of argument~\cite{PL08} of~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78}. \end{proof} The logarithmic control of~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} holds for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ and the conjugate characters (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}). It has the same conductor and height exponents, its constants do not depend on the character, and it has no principal clauses. For the characters of the rows, finite-order or CM, its global form holds on $\Re s\ge b+v$ for every fixed $b\ge\max(\beta_*,\frac78)$. Section~\ref{sec:s2-uses} lists every use in~\cite{OAI78} of these growth statements, together with the CM statement that replaces it. \subsection{The characters attached to a row} In~\cite{OAI78} each row $u$ carries a finite set of characters: the twists $\theta\chi_\bullet(u)^{\pm1}$ by members $\theta$ of the finite group $\Theta_0=\langle\eta,\widehat T\rangle$, where $\widehat T$ consists of fixed characters supported over $2$ and $3$. A row is \emph{bad} if one of these has a zero of height at most a small power $Z^\tau$ well to the right of $1/2$. For a CM target the group generated by $\psi$ is infinite. We use instead the finite set \begin{equation}\label{eq:d079} \mathcal X_u=\bigl\{\theta\chi_\bullet(u)^{\pm1}\bigr\}\cup \bigl\{\overline\alpha\,\theta\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)},\ \alpha\,\theta\,\chi_\bullet(u)\bigr\}, \qquad\theta\in\Theta_0=\langle\eta,\widehat T\rangle . \end{equation} It has three properties. \begin{itemize} \item It contains the numerator, the denominator $\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$, and their conjugates. \item It is finite, with $4|\Theta_0|$ labels for every $u$ (the label set is independent of $u$), and closed under conjugation. Each CM member is induced by a primitive character in $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ or in its conjugate, of conductor norm $\ll\N(u)$ (Lemmas~\ref{lem:s2-rowcond} and~\ref{lem:s3-labels}); so it is never principal and its $L$-function is entire. Together with Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}, the logarithmic control (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}), the deleted-Euler-factor bounds (\cite[Lemma~4.10]{OAI78}, which use only $|\psi^*(\mathfrak p)|\le1$), and the removal of the finitely many $S$-supported rows (needed only for the finite-order members), these are all that the detector of~\cite[Section~8]{OAI78} uses. Appendix~\ref{app:s3-detector} goes through it line by line (Proposition~\ref{prop:s3-detector}). \item Its finite-order members have no zeros in $\Re s>7/8$, by~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}, and its CM members and their conjugates none in $\Re s>\beta_*$. Under the contradiction hypothesis $\beta_*>7/8$ this gives the bin ceiling $a\le\beta_*$ of \cite[\S3.3]{G78} (Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling} below). \end{itemize} \begin{lemma}[Bin ceiling for $\mathcal X_u$]\label{lem:r3-ceiling} Suppose $\beta_*>7/8$. Let $u\ne0$, let $\chi\in\mathcal X_u$, and let $\chi'$ be the primitive character inducing $\chi$. Then $L(s,\chi')\ne0$ for $\Re s>\beta_*$. Consequently, in~\cite[Lemma~8.1]{OAI78} with the label set $\mathcal X_u$, every maximum $M_i(u)$ is at most $\beta_*$, every bin has $a\le\beta_*$, and $\delta=2a-1\le2\beta_*-1$. \end{lemma} This replaces~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}, whose first sentence (every primitive character inducing a member of the label set has finite order) is false for $\mathcal X_u$. \begin{proof} There are three cases. \begin{itemize} \item $\chi=\theta\chi_\bullet(u)^{\pm1}$ with $\theta\in\Theta_0$. Then $\chi$ has finite order, since $\theta$ has and $n\mapsto\chi_n(u)$ is a finite-order ray character~\cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI78}. By~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}, $L(s,\chi')$ has no zero in $\Re s>7/8$, and $7/8<\beta_*$. \item $\chi=\overline\alpha\,\theta\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$. Then $\theta\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ has finite order, so $\chi'\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. By the definition of $\beta_*$, $L(s,\chi')$ has no zero with $\beta_*<\Re s\le1$, and the Euler product excludes zeros in $\Re s>1$. \item $\chi=\alpha\,\theta\,\chi_\bullet(u)$. Then $\overline\chi$ is as in the second case, its primitive inducing character is $\overline{\chi'}$, and $L(s,\chi')=\overline{L(\bar s,\overline{\chi'})}$. So the zeros of $L(s,\chi')$ are the conjugates of those of $L(s,\overline{\chi'})$, with the same real parts. \end{itemize} A presentation in $\mathcal X_u$ differs from $\chi'$ by finitely many factors $1-\chi'(\mathfrak p)\N\mathfrak p^{-s}$, which are nonzero in $\Re s>0$. Each $M_i(u)$ is the maximum of the floor $51/100$ and of real parts of zeros of members of $\mathcal X_u$ in a bounded rectangle~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. Hence $M_i(u)\le\max(51/100,7/8,\beta_*)=\beta_*$. \end{proof} If the $11/12$ stage of~\cite{OAI78} is also carried out for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, it runs under $\beta_*>11/12$, and in the first case~\cite[Theorem~3.1]{OAI78} already suffices. That finite-order theorem does not assume a zero-free bound for the CM family, so using it here is not circular. A zero of a CM member produces the two witnesses of \cite[\S3.3]{G78}, now with the angular factor: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d080} M_r=U^{-r/2}\sum_n\mu(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}\theta(n)\overline{\chi_n(u)}\,W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}{U^r}\Bigr), \qquad S_m=U^{-m/2}\sum_l\overline{\alpha(l)}\theta(l)\overline{\chi_l(u)}\,W'\Bigl(\frac{\N(l)}{U^m}\Bigr), \end{equation} or their conjugates. In each, $\overline\alpha$ appears together with $\overline\chi$, or $\alpha$ together with $\chi$. We call such sums \emph{co-oriented}; this matters in Section~\ref{sec:78moments}. \paragraph{Witnesses and slots.} \cite{OAI78} conjugates both witness factors if necessary, so that their row character is $\nu(n)\overline{\chi_n(u)}$, and then measures each physical slot prime against this row: its coefficient is $\overline{\nu(p)}\ind_{p\in1_T}$, a fixed combination of members of the finite group (\cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78}). For a CM zero the conjugated row character is $\overline\alpha\theta'\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ with $\theta'\in\Theta_0$; measured against it, the slot coefficient would be $\alpha(p)\overline{\theta'(p)}\ind_{p\in1_T}$, which is not of that form. The slots are therefore measured against the finite-order part $\theta'\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$: their coefficient is $\overline{\theta'(p)}\ind_{p\in1_T}$, and $\overline\alpha$ stays on the M\"obius and plain variables only. This is how the moments of Section~\ref{sec:78moments} are stated: the inverse moment is used with $\epsilon=-1$, and, after the conjugation of~\cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78}, the plain moment with $e=+1$, $\psi_k=\overline{\theta'}\chi_\bullet(u)$ and slot coefficients $\theta'(p)\ind_{p\in1_T}$. A retained large row still induces outside $\Theta_0$, now for its finite-order part, because it ramifies at a prime outside $S$ (\cite[Sections~8.1 and~19.2]{OAI78}). \subsection{The compensated probe and the slots} The compensated probe \cite[\S4.2]{G78} is formed with $\overline{\psi(p_{J^c})}$ in place of $\overline{\eta(p_{J^c})}$. In row $u$ a slot prime $p\nmid u$ contributes the local factor $\psi(p)\overline{\chi_p(u)}\N(p)^{-x}$ of the denominator, and $\overline{\psi(p)}\psi(p)=1$. So the marked-minus-rescaled difference is $-\overline{\chi_p(u)}$ plus small terms, exactly as for~$\zeta$. The slot amplitudes \begin{equation}\label{eq:d081} Q_i(u)=P_i^{-1/2}\sum_{p\in\text{slot }i}\Omega_i\Bigl(\frac{\N(p)}{P_i}\Bigr) \Bigl(\frac{\N(p)}{P_i}\Bigr)^{z-1}\overline{\Bigl(\frac up\Bigr)_6} \end{equation} are the same finite-order prime polynomials as in \cite[\S4.4]{G78}. Two consequences follow. \begin{enumerate} \item The principal normalizer $A_T(Z)$ is unchanged. \item The pointwise bound $|Q_i(u)|\ll U^{\epsilon_1}P_i^{\delta/2+O(e)}$ of~\cite[Lemma~19.1]{OAI78} is unchanged, since the slot characters $\theta\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ lie in $\mathcal X_u$. Separately, the uniform slot bound inside the plain moment (\cite[eq.~(18.12)]{OAI78}) needs a zero-free region only for finite-order characters. OpenAI's theorem supplies it at $7/8$, so $\kappa=3/4$ may be used there and in the plain capacity, in place of $\kappa=2\beta_*-1$. In~\cite{OAI78} the same $\kappa$ also writes the bin ceiling as $\delta\le\kappa$ (\cite[eq.~(12.2)]{OAI78}). With $\kappa=3/4$ the two must be kept apart: the bin ceiling is $\delta\le2\beta_*-1$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}), which may exceed $3/4$. \cite{OAI78} uses $\delta\le\kappa$ only through $\delta\le5/6$ (Section~\ref{sec:78final}). \end{enumerate} \section{Counting bad rows with an angular factor}\label{sec:78moments} \cite{OAI78} counts bad rows with the sextic large sieve of \cite[\S3.3]{G78} (which builds on~\cite{GL,BGL,HB00}) and the three averages of \cite[\S5.1]{G78}. For rows whose zero comes from a finite-order member they apply unchanged. For CM members they are needed with the angular factor on the summation variable, but not on the slot primes. \paragraph{1. The sextic large sieve}~\cite[Lemma~9.1]{OAI78}. It allows arbitrary coefficients fixed independently of the row, so it is unchanged. For a CM zero the witness coefficient is $D^{-1/2}\mu(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}\theta(n)\overline{\chi_n(v)}W(\N(n)/D)$ (or its conjugate), with $v$ the frozen non-squarefree part of the row. Apart from elementary counts that do not involve the target, this is the only row count used in the $11/12$ stage of~\cite{OAI78} (its Part~I); with CM labels it is Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-sextic}. \paragraph{2. The inverse moment with prime factors.} Let $\nu$ be a fixed finite-order ray character whose zero-extended defining modulus has prime support in $S$; the angular factor is not part of $\nu$. Fix a sign $\epsilon=\pm1$, bounded ranges for the nonnegative parameters $m,r,z_i$, a bound for the number of slots, and constants $c_1,c_2>0$, and suppose, as in~\cite[Lemma~17.1]{OAI78}, $r+2z\le m-c_1$ and $2r+8z\le3m-c_2$. For smooth annular $W,W_i$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d199}\begin{aligned} M_u&=Z^{-r/2}\sum_n\mu(n)\,\alpha(n)^{\epsilon}\nu(n)\chi_n(u)^{\epsilon} W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}{Z^r}\Bigr),\\ Q_u&=\prod_{i}Z^{-z_i/2}\sum_{p\in\mathcal P_i}a_i(p)\nu(p)\chi_p(u)^{\epsilon}W_i\Bigl(\frac{\N(p)}{Z^{z_i}}\Bigr), \end{aligned}\end{equation} with the same $\nu$ and $\epsilon$ in $M_u$ and in every slot, where $z=\sum_iz_i$, the slot sets $\mathcal P_i$ are disjoint and avoid $S$, $\N(p)\asymp Z^{z_i}$ for $p\in\mathcal P_i$, and the coefficients $a_i(p)$ are independent of $u$ with $|a_i(p)|\le1$. Then for every $\varepsilon>0$ \begin{equation}\label{eq:cm-inverse} \sum_{\substack{u\in\OO\\0<\N(u)\ll Z^m}}|M_uQ_u|^2\ll Z^{m+\varepsilon}, \end{equation} with the uniformity of~\cite[Lemma~17.1]{OAI78}: the constant depends only on the fixed arithmetic data, $c_1,c_2$, the parameter ranges and finitely many seminorms of the tests; it is uniform in the prime supports and the coefficients $a_i$; the bound holds for every subcollection of the slots; norm twists of the tests cost a fixed power of their heights; and there is no mesh or lower-length condition on the slots. \emph{Why.} Appendix~\ref{sec:s4-inverse} proves~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse} (Proposition~\ref{prop:s4-marked}). The proof in~\cite{OAI78} alternates between two coefficient classes: Möbius coefficients $\mu\nu$, and cubic coefficients $\overline\alpha\gamma_2\nu$ attached to the theta function. Each switch uses~\eqref{eq:signal-cm} or its companion \begin{equation}\label{eq:d082} \mu(n)\gamma_{-1}(n)=\chi_n(-1)G(n)^{-1}\,\overline{\alpha(n)}\,\gamma_2(n), \end{equation} which holds for squarefree $n$~\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2, \emph{The second Poisson transformation}]{OAI78} and which we checked at $60$ primes and at squarefree composites. \cite{OAI78} runs the orientation $\mu\nu$ with $\overline\chi$: for $\epsilon=+1$ it first conjugates the whole residual polynomial (finite character, marks and tests;~\cite[proof of Lemma~17.1]{OAI78}), which leaves the row norm unchanged. Conjugation sends $\alpha\nu\chi_\bullet(u)$ to $\overline\alpha\,\bar\nu\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$, so a co-oriented sum stays co-oriented. With the co-oriented factor $\overline\alpha$ on the Möbius variable the classes are therefore $\mu\overline\alpha\leftrightarrow\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2$ for both signs. The canonical class of~\cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78} is $\overline\alpha\gamma_2\nu\rho$, and that lemma admits no additional residual coefficient (\cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78}); so the extra factor $\overline\alpha$ must be built into the class, which becomes $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\nu\rho$ in the CM canonical estimate (Lemma~\ref{lem:s4-canonical}). These are the dual coefficient and the cube factor $\overline\alpha^{\,6}$ of Sections~\ref{sec:poisson}--\ref{sec:descent}, and the theta steps use $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$ as in Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general}; the terminal application of~\cite[Lemma~14.3]{OAI78} becomes Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy}. In the CM case each switch is~\eqref{eq:signal-cm} or its companion multiplied by $\overline{\alpha(n)}$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s4-switch}, checked at all $366$ squarefree $n$ with $\N(n)\le1300$). Poisson summation acts on the row variable for a fixed pair of columns $n_1,n_2$, so the factor $\overline{\alpha(n_1)}\alpha(n_2)$ passes through each transformation. It splits into a factor on the new columns and a factor of modulus one on outer variables, which~\cite{OAI78} bounds only in absolute value (Lemma~\ref{lem:s4-transfer}). In the overlap reduction of~\cite{OAI78} ($n=jn_0$, $P=jP_0$, $c=n_0P_0$) one has $\alpha(n)^\epsilon=\alpha(j)^\epsilon\alpha(c)^\epsilon\overline{\alpha(P_0)^{\epsilon}}$. The assigned primes contribute a $u$-independent unimodular scalar, and each surviving slot prime, which becomes part of the new Möbius variable $c$, has its coefficient multiplied by $\mu(p)\overline{\alpha(p)^{\epsilon}}$. That coefficient is still bounded, independent of $u$, and of product form, which is all~\cite{OAI78} uses. The masks, punctures, scales and counts of the descent, and the propagation of seminorms, do not involve the coefficients. \emph{Orientation.} The anti-oriented sum, with $\alpha$ paired with $\overline\chi$, would turn into plain $\gamma_2$, since $\alpha\cdot\overline\alpha\gamma_2=\gamma_2$. That is the theta function without a derivative, with its constant terms. So the argument does not cover that case: its terminal step would need a reflected energy for $\theta$ itself, and the clause ``for either common sign'' of~\cite[Lemma~17.1]{OAI78} is not claimed for anti-oriented sums. The case is never needed. Every CM member of $\mathcal X_u$ is co-oriented, \cite{OAI78} conjugates witness factors only to give their row character the orientation $\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ of the physical slots (\cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78}), and conjugation preserves co-orientation. The inverse witness of a zero of $\alpha\theta\chi_\bullet(u)$ thus becomes $\sum\mu\overline\alpha\,\bar\theta\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$, the case $\epsilon=-1$; the slots carry no angular factor. \paragraph{3. Sixth-power amplification}~\cite[Lemma~17.6]{OAI78}. Its proof is unchanged, except that the column identity~\cite[eq.~(17.90)]{OAI78} acquires the factor $\alpha(d)^{\epsilon}$, of modulus one, on its divisor $d$ (equation~\eqref{eq:s4-sixth}); the coefficient mass is the same. The identity $\chi_n(ua^6)=\chi_n(u)$ for $(a,n)=1$ does not involve $\alpha$. Its input is~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse} without slots~\cite[eq.~(17.87)]{OAI78}. For $\epsilon=1$, $S$ the primes above $6$ and $\nu$ principal, the mean square~\eqref{eq:MS} of Part~I of these notes is that raw moment with $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$, that is,~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse} with $Z=H$, $m=1$, $r=1/(1+\vartheta)$, no slots and $c_1=\vartheta/(1+\vartheta)$, for a fixed $0<\vartheta\le1/10$. \paragraph{4. The plain fourth moment with prime factors}~\cite[Lemma~18.1]{OAI78}. The CM statement needed is the following. Fix $e=\pm1$ and $3/4\le\kappa\le1$. For rows $k$ with $0<\N(k)\ll Z^m$, write $\psi_k=\tau\chi_\bullet(k)$ for the finite-order row character, and put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d083} S_k(n_j)=Z^{-n_j/2}\sum_l\alpha(l)^e\psi_k(l)W_j\Bigl(\frac{\N(l)}{Z^{n_j}}\Bigr)\qquad(j=1,2). \end{equation} Let $Q$ be a product of slot polynomials in $\psi_k$ with no angular factor, of total length $z$, whose coefficients are fixed combinations of characters in the finite group $\Theta$ of~\cite[Section~18]{OAI78}, which contains $\Theta_0$ and the characters separating the fixed reciprocity phases. Let $\mathcal R_z$ be the rows of \cite{OAI78}, defined through the finite-order part $\psi_k$. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:d084} \sum_{k\in\mathcal R_z}|S_k(n_1)S_k(n_2)Q|^2\ll Z^{M+\varepsilon},\qquad M=m+q, \end{equation} with the same hypotheses and uniformity as in~\cite{OAI78}: no restriction when $z=0$; $n_1+n_2+6\kappa z\le M$ and slots of length at most the mesh when $z>0$, with a mesh independent of $\psi$ and $e$; uniformity over moving moduli, masks and frozen labels. Here $Z^q$ bounds the norm of the full displayed moving zero support of $\tau$, counted before cancellation or reduction of exponents modulo six (\cite[Sections~13.1 and~18]{OAI78}). For $\kappa<1$, \cite{OAI78} also assumes $\beta_*\le(1+\kappa)/2$ for its own $\beta_*$, the supremum over primitive finite-order characters. That hypothesis enters only through~\cite[eq.~(18.11)]{OAI78}, applied to the primitive characters inducing the slot characters $\psi_k\vartheta$, $\vartheta\in\Theta$, which have finite order because the slots carry no angular factor. So the CM hypothesis is that no primitive finite-order character has a zero in $\Re s>(1+\kappa)/2$; by~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78} it holds for every $\kappa\in[3/4,1]$, and $\kappa=3/4$ is allowed. It does not involve the $\beta_*$ of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. This statement is proved in Appendix~\ref{app:s5-plain}. The changes to the proof are four. \begin{itemize} \item[(a)] \emph{Hecke reflection}~\cite{Hec20}. This is Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-reflection}, proved there and again, in the form used here, by direct Poisson summation in Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-reflection}, with an explicit root number. The dual profile is $\mathcal MW^\sharp(s)=\mathcal MW(1-s)\,\Gamma(s+\frac12)/\Gamma(\frac32-s)$, in place of $\mathcal MW(1-s)\Gamma(s)/\Gamma(1-s)$. Both quotients grow like $|t|^{2\sigma-1}$ on vertical lines, and the conductor scale changes only at the prime above $3$, by a factor between $1/9$ and $9$ (Lemmas~\ref{lem:s2-rowcond} and~\ref{lem:s5-rowchar}). So the reflected lengths and seminorm bounds are unchanged. \item[(b)] \emph{Poisson summation in the rows.} The first transform is Poisson over the row $k$, the second over the dual Gauss row $h$ (\cite[Lemma~13.3]{OAI78}), and the amplifier maps rows $h\mapsto hp^6$. The plain variables stay inside the column moduli throughout: they are never Poisson-summed and never become a row variable, and every reciprocity step involving them concerns only the finite characters. So $\alpha(l)^e$ is a column coefficient. Each extraction of a plain prime power $p^i$ leaves a frozen unimodular scalar $\alpha(p)^{ie}$. \item[(c)] \emph{Main terms.} The induction of~\cite{OAI78} meets volume-sized main terms on child rows whose finite-order part induces a character in $\Theta_0$ (\cite[Section~18.7]{OAI78}), and cancels them with an equal-scale centered difference. In the CM case the plain sums there are $\mathcal L(X,t)=\sum_l\alpha(l)^e\vartheta(l)\ind_{(l,\mathfrak R_*)=1}\N(l)^{it}W(\N(l)/X)$, sums over primary generators in finitely many residue classes of a fixed lattice; the mask is removed by inclusion--exclusion, using $\alpha(dl)=\alpha(d)\alpha(l)$. The proof of~\cite[Lemma~18.3]{OAI78} applies to $f_t(z)=\alpha(z)^e|z|^{2it}W(|z|^2)$, and its zero frequency is $\int_{\mathbb C}f_t(z)\,dz=\int_0^\infty r^{2it}W(r^2)\,r\,dr\int_0^{2\pi}e^{ie\phi}\,d\phi=0$. So that lemma holds with main-term constant $0$ and the same uniform error; the centered difference is kept verbatim, with both main terms zero. Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-lattice} gives the bounds in the form the induction uses. \item[(d)] \emph{The zero-free hypothesis.} The slot amplitudes have finite order, so the hypothesis is OpenAI's theorem, with $\kappa=3/4$. \end{itemize} Appendix~\ref{app:s5-plain} carries this out and proves the CM statement (Proposition~\ref{prop:s5-plain}). It redoes the induction of~\cite{OAI78} with the angular factor $\alpha(l_1l_2)^e$ carried through every transform and kept off the slot primes. Besides (a)--(d), the only change is this bookkeeping (Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-coefficients}). \section{The final inequality}\label{sec:78final} A bin of rows of norm $U=Z^d$ contributes at most $Z^{C(7/8)+E(d)+o(1)}$, with the exponent $E(d)$ of~\cite[eq.~(20.4)]{OAI78} \cite[\S6]{G78} (\cite[Lemma~20.1]{OAI78}). Its terms come from four sources: \begin{itemize} \item the scales and the Mellin weight on the central contour; \item the number of bad rows, given by the moments above with the same exponents; \item the prime amplitudes, which have finite order; \item the size $U^{\delta/2}$ of the finite-order numerator on the reflected line. \end{itemize} The CM denominator enters only through its reciprocal on the contour $\Re s=a+16e$, which costs $U^{\varepsilon}$ by the CM logarithmic control on the buffered disks. The exponent $63/50$ of the small rows (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}) uses the strip bound of the finite-order numerator, and the large rows use only absolute convergence. So no term involves the gamma factor or a convexity bound of a CM $L$-function; that gamma factor affects only fixed powers of the height. So the endpoint certificate of~\cite[Lemma~20.2]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d085} -E(h)\ge\frac{49}{440640}\qquad(0\le\delta\le5/6,\ 0\le x\le1/2), \end{equation} with $q=x\delta$ and $R=R_*(\delta,x)$, applies verbatim. \cite{OAI78} compares it with $\Delta=\beta_*-7/8$ in \cite[eq.~(20.10)]{OAI78}: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d086} E_{\rm actual}(h)-\Delta\le-\frac{49}{440640}-\Bigl(1-\frac h4\Bigr)\Delta+\epsilon_{\rm total}<0 . \end{equation} The term $h\Delta/4$ is a capacity loss caused by the choice $\kappa=2\beta_*-1$. With $\kappa=3/4$ it is exactly zero, which only helps; the bin ceiling is then written $\delta\le2\beta_*-1$, not $\delta\le\kappa$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}). The bin ceiling $\delta\le5/6$ comes from the $11/12$ stage, that is, from $\beta_*\le11/12$ for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ (Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}). This bound is a statement about each member of the family separately; it carries no uniformity in $\psi$. Part~I of these notes, as written, gives it for the characters $\psi_d^*$, one curve at a time. Appendix~\ref{app:s6} runs Part~I with a fixed finite-order twist in the columns, as~\cite{OAI1112} does for finite-order characters, and so proves it for every member. The balanced probe of Section~\ref{sec:78probe}, at $X=Y=Z^{1/2}$ and with the sextic row count, gives a second proof: this is Part~I of~\cite{OAI78} with the changes above, and it uses neither prime slots nor the plain moment (Section~\ref{subsec:s6-shared}). In~\cite{OAI78} the bin ceiling is used only in two forms: as $a\le\beta_*$ (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.3]{OAI78} and, through~\cite[eq.~(12.2)]{OAI78}, \cite[proof of Lemma~20.1]{OAI78}), which Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling} supplies for $\mathcal X_u$; and as $\delta\le\alpha=5/6$ (\cite[proof of Proposition~19.2, \emph{Cases requiring no selected primes}; Lemma~20.2; Section~20.5; proof of Proposition~20.3]{OAI78}), which follows from Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}. The shared high-side lemmas of~\cite{OAI78}, used again at $\sigma_0=7/8$, hold for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ by Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared}. Every margin is chosen before the target, as in~\cite{OAI78}, so all margins are uniform in $\psi$. The continuation criterion then gives the contradiction. Hence $\beta_*\le7/8$, which is Theorem~\ref{thm:78}. \section{What changes in the CM case}\label{sec:78status} The table goes through~\cite{OAI78} and records, for each part, how the properties of the target and of the row characters that it uses change in the CM case. No new idea is needed, but several statements need new proofs; these are given in Appendices~\ref{app:s1-general}--\ref{app:s6}. \begin{center} \small \begin{tabular}{p{2.7cm}p{4.6cm}p{7.2cm}} \toprule Sections of~\cite{OAI78} & content & CM change\\\midrule 1--4 & criterion, Gauss sums, growth lemmas & growth with $\Gamma(s+\frac12)$, functional equation, logarithmic control (Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}, Appendix~\ref{app:s2-hecke}); OpenAI's theorem for finite-order rows\\ 5 & completed reflection, row energy & $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$; table in Section~\ref{sec:78probe}; Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general}\\ 6--8 & probe, Poisson rows, detector & weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight}; local identity formal in $\psi(p)$; label set $\mathcal X_u$; bin ceiling \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} replaced (Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}, Appendix~\ref{app:s3-detector})\\ 9--11 & sextic count, high side, $11/12$ & witness coefficients carry $\alpha^{\pm1}$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-sextic}); the $11/12$ stage and the shared high-side lemmas (Appendix~\ref{app:s6})\\ 12--16 & compensated probe, low side & normalization $\overline{\psi(p)}$; slots measured against the finite-order part (Section~\ref{sec:78rows})\\ 17 & inverse moment & co-oriented classes $\mu\overline\alpha\leftrightarrow\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2$ (Appendix~\ref{sec:s4-inverse})\\ 18 & plain fourth moment & reflection with $\Gamma(s+\frac12)$; lattice main terms vanish (Appendix~\ref{app:s5-plain})\\ 19--20 & row counts, endpoint & $\kappa=3/4$; bin ceiling $\delta\le2\beta_*-1$\\\bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} Six statements need new proofs. They are proved in the appendices, at the generality of~\cite{OAI78}. In each, a step identical to~\cite{OAI78} is cited by its number there, and a step that changes in the CM case is proved. \begin{enumerate} \item \emph{The transformation formula for $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$}, for a general modulus supported on $S$, all log-Schwartz tests and the cross-prime phases, with its marked form and the lemmas built on it: Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general} (Propositions~\ref{prop:s1-reflection} and~\ref{prop:s1-marked}, Lemmas~\ref{lem:s1-unmarked}, \ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy} and~\ref{lem:s1-probe-row-norm}). Lemma~14.2 of~\cite{OAI78} does not involve the weight and is used unchanged. \item \emph{Growth and logarithmic control}: Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}, proved in Appendix~\ref{app:s2-hecke}, which also gives the functional equation with an explicit root number, the conductors of the row characters, and the logarithmic control (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}). \item \emph{The detector with the label set $\mathcal X_u$}: Appendix~\ref{app:s3-detector} (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels} and Proposition~\ref{prop:s3-detector}). Part~(e) of that lemma bounds the conductor exponents of the row characters at the primes above $2$ and $3$; \cite{OAI78} uses such a bound without stating it. \item \emph{The inverse moment}~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse} for co-oriented coefficients: Appendix~\ref{sec:s4-inverse} (Proposition~\ref{prop:s4-marked}). Its terminal step is Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy}. \item \emph{The plain fourth moment} with $\alpha^e$ on the plain variables: Appendix~\ref{app:s5-plain} (Proposition~\ref{prop:s5-plain}). \item \emph{The $11/12$ stage}, $\beta_*\le11/12$ for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$: Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}, proved one member at a time by Part~I of these notes with a finite-order twist, and the shared high-side lemmas used again at $\sigma_0=7/8$ (Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared}). \end{enumerate} The precise form of Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-completed} is Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-unmarked}. The bin ceiling for the label set $\mathcal X_u$, which~\cite{OAI78} derives from a statement that is false for CM members, is Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}. \paragraph{What Theorem~\ref{thm:78} rests on.} Besides the results proved here, the proof uses the steps of~\cite{OAI78} cited as identical, OpenAI's theorem for finite-order characters~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}, the theorem of Kubota and Patterson~\cite{Kub69,Pat77} in the form~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF}, the quadratic large sieve~\cite{HB95,GL}, and the prime number theorem for prime ideals in ray classes~\cite{Hec17,Hec20}. OpenAI's $7/8$ theorem is formalized in Lean~\cite{OAIlean}. Of the CM argument, only the last step of Part~I is formalized so far; a complete certification of Parts~I and~II is in progress. \paragraph{Numerical checks.} We checked the new identities numerically: \begin{itemize} \item the point counts against $\psi_d^*$; \item \eqref{eq:signal-cm} and its companion, and the switching identities, the marked cube inversion, the overlap identity and the sixth-power column identity of Appendix~\ref{sec:s4-inverse}; \item the transformation formula of Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general} end to end, with an active prime of norm $7$ and tests without compact support, and its marked form; \item the theta transformation, functional equation and root number of Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe} for four characters, and the functional equations of eight CM members of the label sets (PARI/GP~\cite{PARI}), with the conductor exponents of Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(e); \item the reflection of Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-reflection} for twelve primitive characters, the dual profile, and the vanishing of $\int\alpha^ef$; \item the twisted paired identities and the twisted first Poisson reduction of Appendix~\ref{app:s6}; \item the Bessel--Mellin formulas, the reflection constants, and the Stirling exponents of all the gamma quotients. \end{itemize} Numerical checks support the identities, but do not establish the uniform analytic estimates. \section{CM newforms of higher weight: why the method should extend}\label{sec:higherweight} Write $\psi_k=\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta$ with $k\ge1$ and $\eta$ of finite order. These are the unitary Hecke characters of $K$ with infinity type $(\bar z/|z|)^k$. Up to finitely many Euler factors, their $L$-functions are those of the CM newforms of weight $k+1$ with complex multiplication by $K$~\cite{Shimura71,Ribet77}, shifted to the center $1/2$: if $f$ is such a form, then $L(f,s+\frac k2)=L(s,\psi)$ for $\psi=\psi_k$ or its conjugate. This section explains why we expect the following. A second paper, now being written, treats these more general CM forms. \paragraph{Expected statement.} For every $k\ge1$ and every finite-order $\eta$, $L(s,\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta)\ne0$ for $\Re s>7/8$. Equivalently, every CM newform $f$ of weight $k+1$ with CM by $K$ satisfies \begin{equation}\label{eq:d087} L(f,s)\ne0\qquad\Bigl(\Re s>\frac k2+\frac78\Bigr), \end{equation} a zero-free strip along the right edge of the critical strip $\frac k2<\Re s<\frac k2+1$. The $11/12$ method of Part~I should give the weaker boundary $\frac k2+\frac{11}{12}$ in the same way. We do not claim this as a theorem. The rest of this section records the changes in the number $j=k+1$ of theta derivatives and in the Hecke Gamma factor. For each fixed $j$, the formulas have the same structure and give the same length exponents; constants may depend on $j$. The uniform analytic estimates listed at the end still have to be proved for each fixed weight. \subsection{Two examples} We computed the $q$-expansions of two eta products (the newforms 9.4.a.a and 12.3.c.a of~\cite{LMFDB}, both multiplicative $\eta$-quotients in the sense of~\cite{Martin96}) to $q^{3000}$ and compared them with Hecke characters. In the exact $L$-function identities below, a product of Hecke characters means its primitive inducing character, with all its Euler factors restored. Write $L^{(6)}$ when the Euler factors at primes above $2$ and $3$ are deleted, as in the earlier sums. \begin{itemize} \item $f=\eta(3z)^8$, of weight $4$ and level $9$ ($k=3$). For all $207$ split rational primes $p=\pi\bar\pi<3000$, with both primary generators $\pi,\bar\pi$ tested ($414$ checks), $a_p=2\Re(\pi^3)$. For $p\equiv2\pmod3$, $a_p=0$ and $a_{p^2}=-p^3$. Thus $L(f,s+\frac32)=L(s,\alpha^3)$, and the target is the conjugate $\overline\alpha^{\,3}$, with $\eta$ trivial. This is the CM analogue of the case $u=1$ of the zeta argument. The expected strip is $19/8<\Re s<5/2$ (center $2$). \item $f=\eta(2z)^3\eta(6z)^3$, of weight $3$ and level $12$ ($k=2$). For all $207$ split rational primes below $3000$, again testing both primary generators ($414$ checks), $a_p=2\Re\bigl(\pi^2(2/\pi)_3\bigr)=2\Re\bigl(\pi^2\chi_\pi(4)\bigr)$. For $p\nmid12$ with $p\equiv2\pmod3$, $a_p=0$ and $a_{p^2}=p^2$, as required by the nebentypus $\chi_{-3}$. The exclusion matters: $a_4=0$, not $4$. We have $L(f,s+1)=L(s,\alpha^2\chi_\bullet(4))$, and the target is $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(4)}$. The expected strip is $15/8<\Re s<2$ (center $3/2$). Since $a_3=-3$, the normalized Euler factor at $3$ is $(1+3^{-s})^{-1}$; the factor at $2$ is $1$. Thus, in the convention of the earlier sums, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d088} L(f,s+1)=(1+3^{-s})^{-1}L^{(6)}(s,\alpha^2\chi_\bullet(4)). \end{equation} \end{itemize} \subsection{What changes with \texorpdfstring{$k$}{k}} \paragraph{1. The weight and the rows.} With target $\psi=\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta$ the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight} becomes \begin{equation}\label{eq:d089} \gamma_2(c)\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}\,\psi(cn^3)=\gamma_2(c)\,\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,k+1}\eta(cn^3). \end{equation} Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-rows} is formal in $\psi(p)$, so the rows are again $\zeta_K^S(6z)L^S(w,\chi_\bullet(u))/L^S(x,\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)})$. The numerators still have finite order, the denominators have infinity type $(\bar z/|z|)^k$, and the slot amplitudes are unchanged. \paragraph{2. The theta step with $j=k+1$ derivatives.} Every formula of Section~\ref{sec:theta} and of the table in Section~\ref{sec:78probe} has a version for all $j\ge1$, as follows. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{Chain rule.} At $z=0$ the coordinate $z'$ is affine in $\bar z$, while $\bar z'$ and $v'$ do not depend on $\bar z$. Hence, exactly, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d090} \left.\partial_{\bar z}^{\,j}F(z',\bar z',v')\right|_{z=\bar z=0} =\bigl(-(cv)^{-2}\bigr)^{j}\,(\partial_{z'}^{\,j}F)\bigl(-\delta/c,\,1/(\N(c)v)\bigr). \end{equation} Every derivative of order $j\ge1$ kills the constant term at the identity cusp. We checked this identity symbolically for $j\le4$. \item \emph{Direct Mellin transform.} For a nonzero Fourier mode and $\Re s>\frac16-\frac j2$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d091} \int_0^\infty(2\pi i\bar\ell)^j\,vK_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v)\,v^{2s+j-2}\,dv =\frac{i^j}4(2\pi)^{-2s}\,\Gamma\Bigl(s+\frac j2-\frac16\Bigr)\Gamma\Bigl(s+\frac j2+\frac16\Bigr) \overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,j}\N(\ell)^{-s}. \end{equation} The integral converges absolutely in this half-plane; elsewhere the right side gives its meromorphic continuation. For $j=1,2$ this gives the two entries of the table. We checked it numerically for $j\le5$ (relative error below $10^{-25}$). \item \emph{Reflected side.} The same substitution gives $\prod_\pm\Gamma(\frac{j+2}2-s\pm\frac16)$, the cusp factor $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2j}$, and the dual angular factor $\alpha(\ell)^j$. \item \emph{Kernel.} Write \begin{equation}\label{eq:d092} R_j(t)=\prod_\pm\frac{\Gamma(\frac{j+1}2+t\pm\frac16)}{\Gamma(\frac{j+1}2-t\pm\frac16)} . \end{equation} Then $R_1$ and $R_2$ are the two kernels of the table. $R_j$ is holomorphic for $\Re t>\frac16-\frac{j+1}2$, which is to the left of $-1/4$ for every $j\ge1$, and $|R_j(\sigma+iu)|\ll_{j,A}(1+|u|)^{4\sigma}$ on $-1/4\le\sigma\le A$ (checked numerically for $j\le5$). So the reflected weight obeys the same bound $\ll\min(x^{1/4},x^{-A})$, with constants depending on $j$. There is no uniform bound as $j$ grows: for example, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d093} R_j(1)=\frac{(3j-4)(3j-2)(3j+2)(3j+4)}{1296}\sim\frac{j^4}{16}. \end{equation} \end{itemize} The dual lengths are unchanged, because the reflected argument $\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2$ does not depend on $j$. In the quadratic large sieve, $\alpha(\ell)^j$ is a unimodular coefficient of the dual index. Hence Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-completed} and the low estimates $Z^{1/4+\varepsilon}$ and $Z^{3/16+\varepsilon}$ should hold for every $k$. \paragraph{3. Growth.} The functional equation has $\Gamma(s+\frac k2)$ in place of $\Gamma(s+\frac12)$. The exponent of $|\Gamma(1-s+\frac k2)/\Gamma(s+\frac k2)|$ on $\Re s=\sigma$ is $1-2\sigma$, independent of $k$, so Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth} keeps its exponents. The theta series now has the harmonic polynomial $\bar a^{\,k}$. With the Fourier convention $e(-a\xi)$ of Appendix~\ref{app:s2-hecke}, its Poisson transform is a multiple of $\xi^ke^{-c'|\xi|^2/v}v^{-1-k}$, which vanishes at $\xi=0$, so $L(s,\psi)$ is entire. \paragraph{4. Moments.} In the inverse moment the co-oriented classes become $\mu\overline\alpha^{\,k}\leftrightarrow\overline\alpha^{\,k+1}\gamma_2$. This follows from the same identity $\mu\gamma_{-1}=\chi(-1)G^{-1}\overline\alpha\gamma_2$, and the cube factor becomes $\overline\alpha^{\,3(k+1)}$. The theta steps use $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,k+1}\theta$. In the plain moment, Hecke reflection uses $\Gamma(s+\frac k2)/\Gamma(1-s+\frac k2)$, a Hankel kernel of order $k$ with the same vertical growth. The lattice main terms vanish because $\int\alpha(z)^{\pm k}f(|z|^2)\,dz=0$. \paragraph{5. Unchanged.} The following carry over verbatim: \begin{itemize} \item the label sets, with $\overline\alpha^{\,k}\Theta_0\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ and $\alpha^k\Theta_0\chi_\bullet(u)$; \item the slot normalization $\overline{\psi(p)}$; \item $\kappa=3/4$ from OpenAI's theorem; \item every exponent in the final inequality, and hence the endpoint certificate. \end{itemize} For Part~I the targets are rows of the same kind. In the orientation $\muk(n)\alpha(n)^k\chi_n(u_0)$ of Part~I, the row is $u_0=1$ for $\eta(3z)^8$ and $u_0=4$ for $\eta(2z)^3\eta(6z)^3$. \subsection{Remarks} \begin{itemize} \item \emph{$k=0$ is OpenAI's case.} There $j=1$ and the weight is $\gamma_2\overline\alpha\eta$. The recipe ``target $\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta$, $k+1$ theta derivatives'' therefore covers unitary Hecke characters of $K$ with purely angular infinity type; negative $k$ reduces to positive $k$ by conjugation. A general unitary Hecke character may also have a continuous norm factor $\N^{it}$, with $t\in\mathbb R$. Since \begin{equation}\label{eq:d094} L(s,\psi\N^{it})=L(s-it,\psi), \end{equation} these vertical shifts leave the proposed zero-free half-plane unchanged. \item \emph{Orientation.} The conjugate target $\alpha^k\bar\eta$ would leave $\alpha^{k-1}$ in the weight. For $k=1$ that is no angular factor at all: the theta function without a derivative, whose constant terms are not controlled. That is why Part~II uses $\overline\alpha\eta$. For $k\ge2$ the factor $\alpha^{k-1}$ is produced by $\partial_z^{\,k-1}$. The chain rule is symmetric: at $z=\bar z=0$, $\partial_z^{\,j}$ becomes $(-(\bar cv)^{-2})^j\partial_{\bar z'}^{\,j}$, exactly; we checked this symbolically for $j\le3$. So for $k\ge2$ either orientation should work; we use $\overline\alpha^{\,k}\eta$ for uniformity. \item \emph{Symmetric powers.} For a CM curve $E_d$ and $m\ge1$, put $L_{\rm an}(\mathrm{Sym}^mE_d,s)=L(\mathrm{Sym}^mE_d,s+m/2)$. Up to finitely many Euler factors, the factorization is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d095} L_{\rm an}(\mathrm{Sym}^mE_d,s) =\prod_{0\le i7/8$ in analytic normalization. When $4\mid m$, the function has a pole at $s=1$: ``zero-free'' here is a statement about a meromorphic function, not a claim of holomorphy throughout the half-plane. These $L$-functions are not primitive for $m\ge2$. \item \emph{What would still have to be written.} The six statements of Section~\ref{sec:78status}, proved here for $k=1$, are needed for each $k$, with $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,k+1}$ in place of $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}$. We see no step where $k$ enters other than through $j=k+1$ and the Gamma factors. The constants depend on $k$, but $k$ is fixed. \end{itemize} The numerical checks of this section were made with short Python scripts. \section{Numerical checks}\label{sec:numerics} Every numbered display of these notes was catalogued and checked where a computation can check it: identities and explicit inequalities were tested on finite samples, and estimates received size checks where feasible. For twelve estimates not even a size check is possible. Testing every display is overkill, but we wanted to catch mistakes of every size: wrong normalizations, sign errors, dropped factors and careless slips. Section~\ref{sec:numerics-displays} lists all $352$ numbered displays, and for each one says what was done and what was found. Section~\ref{sec:numerics-limits} says what the checks do not establish. The checks use Python and the conventions of these notes. Elements of $\OO$ are written as pairs $A+B\omega$. Primary means $\equiv1\pmod3$, $\alpha(n)=n/|n|$, $u_d=(4d)^5$, and $\chi_n(x)=(x/n)_6$ is computed by Euler's criterion at each prime. Gauss sums are computed by brute force over complete residue systems. Point counts and Dirichlet coefficients of the curves are computed by brute force and compared with PARI/GP~\cite{PARI}. Many comparisons are exact: in $\OO$ or $\mathbb Q$, or, as in Sections~\ref{sec:integer}--\ref{sec:sixth}, in $\OO$ after clearing the factors $\sqrt m$ of $\alpha$. The others, including most identities involving $\alpha$ after Section~\ref{sec:sixth}, are computed in double precision, and so are many integrals. Some Mellin and Bessel integrals use mpmath~\cite{mpmath} at $30$ to $40$ digits, and symbolic checks use SymPy~\cite{SymPy}. Some functional equations are checked only by comparing values from PARI's continuation; these are consistency checks, and the table says so. Zero counts come from the argument principle on finitely many boundary samples, and maxima are taken over sampled points; such results hold on the tested grid only. The scripts are posted with the source, in the folder \texttt{cm\_zero\_free\_strip\_tests} of \url{https://github.com/mrubinst/L-function_zero_free_strips}. The display tests are in its subfolder \texttt{displays\_2026-10-13}, in ten groups \texttt{t0}--\texttt{t9}. The file \texttt{rows.json} of each group names the script behind every row of the table below, and \texttt{run\_all.sh} reruns all of them in about half an hour, including the earlier suites in the other subfolders on which they rely. Every runner exits with a nonzero status if any check fails, including failures in nested suites. The script \texttt{check\_runner\_propagation.py} verifies this by making each script, in turn, fail. \subsection{Every numbered display}\label{sec:numerics-displays} Each numbered display is of one of six kinds, and the kind determines what a computation can establish. \begin{itemize} \item[E] \emph{Identity.} An identity or an exact evaluation. It was tested on finite samples, exactly in $\OO$ or $\mathbb Q$, numerically in double or multiprecision arithmetic, or symbolically. \item[I] \emph{Explicit inequality.} An inequality between computable quantities or exponents, with explicit constants. It was tested on finite samples or symbolically, in the same way. \item[A] \emph{Estimate.} A bound with unspecified constants, or an asymptotic statement. No finite computation can verify it. Where feasible it received a \emph{size check}: the ratio of the two sides was computed over a finite range and seen not to grow. Otherwise it is marked ``not testable by computation''. Each is proved in the text, at the display or where its row indicates, except~\eqref{eq:d087}, which is an expectation (Section~\ref{sec:higherweight}). \item[D] \emph{Definition.} Nothing is asserted. The table says how the definition was implemented in the tests, and what consistency checks were made. \item[C] \emph{Cited result.} A display quoted from another paper. It was compared with its source. \item[R] \emph{Restatement.} A display that repeats another one, or a special case of it. It is covered by the row of the display it restates. \end{itemize} \begin{center} \small \begin{tabular}{@{}llrl@{}} \toprule Kind & & Displays & Outcome\\\midrule E & identity & 189 & all pass\\ I & explicit inequality & 22 & all pass\\ A & estimate & 44 & 32 size checks, all consistent; 12 not testable by computation\\ D & definition & 76 & implemented in the tests\\ C & cited result & 8 & agrees with its source\\ R & restatement & 13 & covered by the restated display\\\midrule & total & 352 & \\\bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} No display was found to be wrong. A test verifies only the instances it computes; the estimates of kind~A rest on their proofs, and~\eqref{eq:d087} is not claimed. In the table, \emph{max err} is the largest absolute error over the tested instances, unless it is marked relative; \emph{exact} means equality in exact arithmetic, and is used for nothing else. For a size check, the result column gives the observed ratio to the claimed bound, whose implied constant is unknown. Identifiers such as A2.07, B30, K9 or S4.6 name individual tests in the suites listed above. \clearpage \begingroup \footnotesize \setlength{\tabcolsep}{3pt} \begin{longtable}{@{}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{1.2cm}>{\centering\arraybackslash}p{0.7cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{9.05cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{4.3cm}@{}} \toprule Display & Kind & What was done & Result\\\midrule \endfirsthead \toprule Display & Kind & What was done & Result\\\midrule \endhead \midrule \multicolumn{4}{r@{}}{\emph{continued on the next page}}\\ \endfoot \bottomrule \endlastfoot \multicolumn{4}{@{}l}{\emph{Introduction}}\\ \eqref{eq:intro-curve} & D & Definition of $E_d$;

This applies to the $44$ displays of kind~A, among them the mean square~\eqref{eq:MS}, the completed estimate~\eqref{eq:completed}, cube removal~\eqref{eq:remove}, the transfer estimate~\eqref{eq:transferprop}, and their Part~II counterparts; $12$ of them are not testable by computation even for size. The Part~I estimates are proved in Sections~\ref{sec:poisson}, \ref{sec:sieve} and~\ref{sec:descent} and Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}, using the large sieve~\eqref{eq:qls}, which is cited from~\cite{GL}. The Part~II statements are proved in Appendices~\ref{app:s1-general}--\ref{app:s6}. In both parts the exact identities used in the proofs were tested, as the table shows. In particular, the random descent chains behind~\eqref{eq:contract} and~\eqref{eq:survive} check scale inequalities under the displayed transition formulas, not the transfer estimate itself. The one display of kind~A that is not proved is~\eqref{eq:d087}, the expectation of Section~\ref{sec:higherweight}; its size check, which finds no zeros of six such $L$-functions in a box, is evidence only. A few remarks on presentation are recorded with the scripts. \appendix \section{The CM transformation formula}\label{app:reflection} This appendix states the CM transformation formula precisely and proves it for the twists of Part~I. Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general} extends it to the generality used in Part~II. The coefficient data are tabulated in~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF}, so every series in the theta step is given in finite-sum terms. It can be skipped on a first reading. The imported theta function is that of Kubota and Patterson~\cite{Kub69,Pat77} in the form~\cite[Theorem~23]{QF}, which follows~\cite[Section~5.1 and Appendix]{DR} and the conventions of~\cite{OAI1112}; see the paragraph ``What is imported'' in Section~\ref{sec:theta}. Only these theta facts are used from~\cite{DR}; its GRH-conditional prime Gauss-sum asymptotic is not an input here. Let $\xi_0$ be a character of $\mathfrak G$, extended by zero to elements that are not primary or not coprime to $6$. Let $\mathcal P$ be a finite set of primary primes coprime to $6$, and let $0\le j_\pi\le5$ for $\pi\in\mathcal P$. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d096} \Psi(n)=\xi_0(n)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P}\chi_\pi(n)^{j_\pi}, \end{equation} with the convention $\chi_\pi(n)^0=\ind_{\pi\nmid n}$. Then $\Psi$ is completely multiplicative on primary elements and vanishes unless $(n,6)=1$. Write $T(X;\Psi)$ for the right side of~\eqref{eq:T} with this $\Psi$. By Section~\ref{sec:theta}, $T(X;k,f)$ has this form. Fix a compact interval $I\subset(0,\infty)$, and let $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$ and $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$. \begin{proposition}[CM transformation formula]\label{prop:b3-reflection} For every $X>0$, $T(X;\Psi)$ is a sum of at most $5184\cdot2^{|\mathcal P|}$ terms of the form \begin{equation}\label{eq:reflection} C\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO} \frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2}{\sqrt{\N(\ell)}} \psi(\lambda^4\ell)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}B_{\pi,j_\pi}(\lambda^4\ell) V^\sharp\left(\frac{\N(\ell)X}{\N(c)^2}\right). \end{equation} In each term, $\sigma\in\{0,+,-\}$ and $d_\sigma$ is the coefficient sequence of $\overline\theta$ at the cusp $\gamma_\sigma\infty$; $\mathcal A$ is a set with $\{\pi\in\mathcal P:j_\pi\ne0\}\subseteq\mathcal A\subseteq\mathcal P$; $c=c_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}\pi$, where $c_0$ divides $8\lambda^2$ up to a unit; $\psi(x)=e(\beta x/(\lambda^3c_0))$ for some $\beta\in\OO$; and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d097} C=-\frac{\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}}{81}\,C',\qquad|C'|\le1. \end{equation} Each series converges absolutely. The weight $V^\sharp$ and the local factors $B_{\pi,j}$ are those of~\eqref{eq:weight} and~\eqref{eq:local}. \end{proposition} The scalar $C'$ collects a finite Fourier coefficient of the residue-class twist, the conjugated Kubota character and the local phases; it is given explicitly in~\eqref{eq:b3-C}. This is the CM form of~\cite[Proposition~6.2]{OAI1112}, a variant of the theta transformation of~\cite[Section~5]{DR}, which extends work of Patterson~\cite{Pat77} and Yoshimoto~\cite{Yos87}. Relative to the zeta case, $\alpha(\ell)$ becomes $\alpha(\ell)^2$, the prefactor $-\frac i{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$ becomes $-\frac1{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$, and the gamma factors of the reflected weight are shifted by $\frac12$. The proof is in Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}. Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform} shows how the terms vary with the twist. The coefficient sequences are explicit. The coefficients $\tau$ of $\theta$ at $\infty$ and $\tau_1,\tau_2$ at the other two cusps (the notation of~\cite{QF}; elsewhere $\tau$ is the divisor function) are tabulated in~\cite[Theorem~23, (5.7), (5.9), (5.10)]{QF} in terms of the cubic Gauss sums $g(r,c)$ of~\cite[(5.5)]{QF}; there $\sqrt{-3}$ is our $\lambda$, so $g(-3,c)=g(\lambda^2,c)$, and $c$ is primary, squarefree and possibly even. With them, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d098} t_0(\ell)=\tau(\ell),\qquad t_+(\ell)=\omega\tau_2(\omega\ell)\ce(\ell),\qquad t_-(\ell)=\omega^2\tau_1(\omega^2\ell)\ce(\ell),\qquad d_\sigma(\ell)=\overline{t_\sigma(-\ell)}. \end{equation} These are precisely the coefficients of the conjugated theta functions at the three cusps. Their support is contained in the set of indices $\ell=u\lambda^mnb^3$, with $u$ a unit, $m\ge-4$, $n$ squarefree, and $n,b$ primary (the tables of~\cite{QF} impose further restrictions); this representation is unique, and, by~\cite[Corollary~24]{QF} and~\cite[Lemma~6.4]{OAI1112}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d099} |d_\sigma(u\lambda^mnb^3)|\le27\cdot3^{m/6}|b|. \end{equation} In the varying quadratic symbol in~\eqref{eq:reflection}, the factor $b^3$ contributes $(b/k)_2$, since $(b^3/k)_2=(b/k)_2$. Fixing $u,m,b$ leaves squarefree columns $n$, exactly as required for \eqref{eq:qls}. This is why the explicit support of the theta coefficients matters to the averaging argument. \subsection{Uniformity in the twist and decay of the weight}\label{sec:b3-lemmas} The sieve of Section~\ref{sec:sieve} averages Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} over squarefree rows $k_0$. For this the cusp data must be chosen consistently as $k_0$ varies, and the reflected weight must decay. \begin{lemma}[Uniformity in the twist]\label{lem:b3-uniform} Fix $\xi_0$, a finite set $\mathcal P_{\rm fix}$ of primary primes coprime to $6$, and exponents $0\le j_\pi\le5$ for $\pi\in\mathcal P_{\rm fix}$. For squarefree primary $k_0$ coprime to $6\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P_{\rm fix}}\pi$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d100} \Psi_{k_0}(n)=\xi_0(n)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P_{\rm fix}}\chi_\pi(n)^{j_\pi} \prod_{\pi\mid k_0}\chi_\pi(n). \end{equation} The terms of Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} for $\Psi_{k_0}$ can be indexed by pairs $(h_0,\mathcal A_{\rm fix})$, with $h_0\in\OO/72\OO$ and $\{\pi\in\mathcal P_{\rm fix}:j_\pi\ne0\}\subseteq\mathcal A_{\rm fix} \subseteq\mathcal P_{\rm fix}$, so that $\mathcal A=\mathcal A_{\rm fix}\cup\{\pi:\pi\mid k_0\}$ and $c=c_0k_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A_{\rm fix}}\pi$. For each index, the data $\sigma$, $\psi$ and $c_0$ depend on $k_0$ only through its residue class modulo $M^2$, where $M=\lambda^{12}72^4$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} This is~\cite[Lemma~6.3]{OAI1112} for the present family, and its proof at the end of~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112} applies verbatim. Every prime dividing $k_0$ has exponent $1$, so it is active, and $r=k_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A_{\rm fix}}\pi$ in Step~2 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}. The data $c_0$, $\sigma$, $\kappa_0$ and $\psi$ of that step depend only on $h_0$, $\mathcal A_{\rm fix}$ and $r\bmod M^2$. They are fixed before any derivative is taken, so the number of derivatives plays no role. The scalar $C$ depends on $k_0$, also through $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$, but only the bound $|C|\le1/81$ is used, as in the zeta case. \end{proof} \begin{lemma}[Decay of the reflected weight]\label{lem:b3-decay} Let $I\subset(0,\infty)$ be a compact interval, $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$ and $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$. For every $A>0$ and every integer $j\ge0$ there is $J=J(A,j)$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:d101} \bigl|(x\partial_x)^jV^\sharp(x)\bigr| \ll_{A,j,I}\|W\|_{C^J(I)}\min(x^{1/4},x^{-A})\qquad(x>0), \end{equation} where $\|W\|_{C^J(I)}=\max_{0\le i\le J}\sup_I|W^{(i)}|$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Let $R(t)$ be the gamma quotient in~\eqref{eq:weight}. Its numerator has poles only at $t=-\frac43-k$ and $t=-\frac53-k$ ($k\ge0$), and $1/\Gamma$ is entire, so $R$ is holomorphic in $\Re t>-\frac43$. Stirling's formula~\cite[(5.11.9)]{DLMF} $|\Gamma(x+iy)|=\sqrt{2\pi}\,|y|^{x-1/2}e^{-\pi|y|/2}(1+O(1/|y|))$, uniform for $x$ in compact sets and $|y|\ge1$, gives $|\Gamma(a+\eta+iu)/\Gamma(a-\eta-iu)|\asymp|u|^{2\eta}$ for $a\in\{\frac43,\frac53\}$ and $|u|\ge1$. With continuity for $|u|\le1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-stirling} |R(\eta+iu)|\ll_A(1+|u|)^{4\eta}\qquad(-\tfrac14\le\eta\le A,\ u\in\mathbb R). \end{equation} The zeta kernel $\Gamma(\frac76+t)\Gamma(\frac56+t)/\bigl(\Gamma(\frac76-t)\Gamma(\frac56-t)\bigr)$ has the same exponent and is holomorphic in $\Re t>-\frac56$; both regions contain $\Re t\ge-\frac14$, which is all that is used. Next, $\widehat V(-t)=\int_IV(y)y^{-t-1}dy$ is entire. For $|\Im t|\ge1$, $k$ integrations by parts give $|\widehat V(-t)|\ll_{k,A,I}\|V\|_{C^k(I)}(1+|t|)^{-k}$ uniformly for $-\frac14\le\Re t\le A$, and the same bound is trivial for $|\Im t|\le1$. Also $\|V\|_{C^k(I)}\ll_{k,I}\|W\|_{C^k(I)}$, since $\sqrt y$ and its derivatives are bounded on $I$. The integrand of~\eqref{eq:weight} therefore decays faster than any power of $|\Im t|$ in the strip $-\frac14\le\Re t\le A$. We move the contour to $\Re t=-\frac14$ if $x\le1$ and to $\Re t=A$ if $x\ge1$, crossing no poles. Each application of $x\partial_x$ multiplies the integrand by $-t$. With $Y=(2\pi)^4x/27$ and $\eta=-\frac14$ or $A$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d102} \bigl|(x\partial_x)^jV^\sharp(x)\bigr| \le\frac{Y^{-\eta}}{2\pi}\int_{\mathbb R}|\eta+iu|^j\, |\widehat V(-\eta-iu)|\,|R(\eta+iu)|\,du . \end{equation} By~\eqref{eq:b3-stirling} and the bound for $\widehat V$ with $k=J:=\lceil4A\rceil+j+2$, the integral is $\ll_{A,j,I}\|W\|_{C^J(I)}$. Since $Y\asymp x$, this proves the lemma. The argument is that of~\cite[(A.20)]{OAI1112}, with the CM kernel. \end{proof} In particular, suppose $1\le X,\N(c)\le D^{C_0}$ and $\|W\|_{C^J(I)}\ll1$ for $J$ large. Then, in~\eqref{eq:reflection}, the terms with $\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2\ge D^\varepsilon$ contribute $O(D^{-B})$ for every $B>0$. This follows from Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay} with $A$ large, the coefficient bound for $d_\sigma$ and $\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}|B_{\pi,j_\pi}|\le\N(c)^{1/2}$, as at the end of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}. Since $\N(\ell)\ge3^{-4}$, the whole series is negligible when $X\ge81D^\varepsilon\N(c)^2$. \subsection{Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection}}\label{sec:b3-proof} We follow the proof of~\cite[Proposition~6.2]{OAI1112} given in~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}. Steps~1 and~2 construct the twisted theta series and choose the cusp data. They do not involve the derivative, so we quote them and record what they produce. Steps~3--6 are the Mellin transform, the chain rule at a cusp, the functional equation and the assembly. This is where the second derivative enters, and we write these steps out. Throughout, $\partial_{\bar z}$ and $\partial_z$ are the Wirtinger derivatives $\frac12(\partial_{\Re z}\pm i\partial_{\Im z})$, so that $\partial_{\bar z}\ce(\ell z)=2\pi i\bar\ell\,\ce(\ell z)$ and $\partial_z\ce(\ell z)=2\pi i\ell\,\ce(\ell z)$. The Mellin integral of the Bessel function is~\cite[(5.21)]{QF} (see~\cite[(10.43.19)]{DLMF}) \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-bessel} \int_0^\infty v^{2s}K_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v)\,dv =2^{2s-1}\Gamma(s+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s+\tfrac23)(4\pi|\ell|)^{-2s-1} \qquad(\Re s>-\tfrac13). \end{equation} \paragraph{Step 1: the twisted series and its translates.} Let $L=72$. In~\cite[Appendix~A.2]{OAI1112} $L$ is any modulus divisible by sufficiently high powers of $2$ and $3$; $L=72$ suffices here. In that proof $L$ enters only through the periodicity of $\phi$ below, which holds modulo $72$, and through $M=\lambda^{12}L^4$, which for $L=72$ is the rational integer $729\cdot72^4$, with $v_\lambda(M)=28$ and $v_2(M)=12$. The congruences of Step~2 are imposed modulo the powers of $\lambda$ and $2$ dividing $Mc_0$, with $c_0$ as in Step~2(a), and modulo the active primes. We checked Step~2(a)--(e) with $L=72$ and this $M$ in exact arithmetic, for groups covering every cusp type (Section~\ref{sec:numerics}). Define $\phi:\OO\to\mathbb C$ by $\phi(x)=(\lambda/x)_3\,\xi_0(x)$ if $x$ is primary and coprime to $6$, and $\phi(x)=0$ otherwise. Since $(\lambda/x)_3$ depends only on $x\bmod9$, $\phi$ is periodic modulo $L$, and $|\phi|\le1$. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d103} \Theta_\Psi(z,v)=\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-3}\OO}d_0(\ell)\, \phi(\lambda^3\ell)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P}\chi_\pi(\lambda^3\ell)^{j_\pi}\, vK_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v)\,\ce(\ell z). \end{equation} By~\eqref{eq:theta-coeff} and the selection statement after it, the coefficient of $\Theta_\Psi$ at $\ell$ vanishes unless $\lambda^3\ell=nb^3$ with $n$ squarefree and $n,b$ primary and coprime to $6$. This representation is unique, and the coefficient is then \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-coeff} 3^{5/2}|b|\,\overline{(\lambda/n)_3}\,\gamma_2(n)\cdot (\lambda/nb^3)_3\,\Psi(nb^3) =3^{5/2}|b|\,\gamma_2(n)\Psi(n)\Psi(b)^3, \end{equation} because $(\lambda/b^3)_3=1$ and $\Psi$ is completely multiplicative. For $h_0\in\OO/L\OO$ and $h\in\OO/\pi\OO$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d104} \widehat\phi(h_0)=\frac1{\N(L)}\sum_{x\bmod L}\phi(x)\, e\Bigl(-\frac{h_0x}L\Bigr),\qquad C_{\pi,j}(h)=\frac1{\N(\pi)}\sum_{y\bmod\pi}\chi_\pi(y)^j\, e\Bigl(-\frac{hy}\pi\Bigr). \end{equation} Finite Fourier expansion~\cite[(4.5)]{QF} of $\phi$ modulo $L$ and of $\chi_\pi^{j_\pi}$ modulo $\pi$ gives, as in~\cite[Lemma~6.1 and (A.2)--(A.5)]{OAI1112}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-translates} \Theta_\Psi(z,v)=\sum_{\mathbf h}c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)\, \overline{\theta(z+z_{\mathbf h},v)},\qquad z_{\mathbf h}=\lambda^2\Bigl(\frac{h_0}L+\sum_{\pi\in\mathcal P} \frac{h_\pi}\pi\Bigr),\qquad c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)=\widehat\phi(h_0)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P} C_{\pi,j_\pi}(h_\pi), \end{equation} where $\mathbf h=(h_0,(h_\pi)_{\pi\in\mathcal P})$ runs over $\OO/L\OO\times\prod_\pi\OO/\pi\OO$. Indeed, multiplying the mode $\ce(\ell z)$ by $e(\lambda^3\ell\eta)=\ce(\lambda^2\ell\eta)$ (recall $e(x)=\ce(x/\lambda)$) translates $z$ by $\lambda^2\eta$. The constant terms $\frac{3^{5/2}}2v^{2/3}$ of the translates cancel, because $\sum_{\mathbf h}c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h) =\phi(0)\prod_\pi\chi_\pi(0)^{j_\pi}=0$. We have $|\widehat\phi(h_0)|\le1$, $C_{\pi,j}(0)=0$ for $j\ne0$, and $C_{\pi,0}(0)=1-\N(\pi)^{-1}$~\cite[(A.5)]{OAI1112}. So $c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)\ne0$ forces the active set $\mathcal A(\mathbf h)=\{\pi:h_\pi\ne0\}$ to contain every $\pi$ with $j_\pi\ne0$. Group the $\mathbf h$ according to $(h_0,\mathcal A(\mathbf h))$. There are at most $\N(L)\,2^{|\mathcal P|}=5184\cdot2^{|\mathcal P|}$ groups. Changing $h_\pi$ modulo $\pi$ moves $z_{\mathbf h}$ by an element of $\lambda^2\OO=3\OO$, under which $\theta$ is invariant by (T1). So we may take representatives with $h_\pi\equiv0\pmod{M^2}$, where $M=\lambda^{12}L^4$. \paragraph{Step 2: the cusp data.} Fix a group $(h_0,\mathcal A)$ and put $r=\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}\pi$. The following facts are proved in~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}, in the paragraphs on reduced denominators and on the local character transformation (see also~\cite[(5.18)]{QF}). They concern only the translates $\overline{\theta(z+z_{\mathbf h},v)}$, not their derivatives, so they apply without change. For each $\mathbf h$ in the group: \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] $z_{\mathbf h}=a/c$ in lowest terms, normalized by a common unit so that $a\equiv1\pmod3$ if $\lambda\mid c$ and $c\equiv1\pmod3$ otherwise (this fixes the unit in $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$ in~\eqref{eq:b3-C}), where $c=c_0r$ is the same for the whole group and $c_0$ is an associate of the reduced denominator of $\lambda^2h_0/L=h_0/(8\lambda^2)$. In particular $c_0$ divides $8\lambda^2$ up to a unit. For $\pi\in\mathcal A$, $a\equiv\sigma_\pi h_\pi\pmod\pi$ with $\sigma_\pi=\lambda^2c/\pi$. \item[(b)] There are $\delta\in\OO$ with $a\delta\equiv1\pmod c$, a matrix $H\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO)$ and $\sigma\in\{0,+,-\}$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:d105} g=\begin{pmatrix}a&(a\delta-1)/c\\c&\delta\end{pmatrix} \in\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO),\qquad g_1=gH^{-1}\in\Gamma(3),\qquad \theta(HP)=\theta(\gamma_\sigma P)\quad(P\in\mathbb H^3). \end{equation} The label $\sigma$ and the residue of $\delta$ modulo $\lambda^3c_0$ are the same for the whole group. Since $\theta(gP)=\kappa(g_1)\theta(HP)$ by (T1), \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-automorphy} \overline{\theta(a/c+z,v)} =\overline{\kappa(g_1)}\,F_\sigma\bigl(g^{-1}(a/c+z,v)\bigr), \qquad F_\sigma(P)=\overline{\theta(\gamma_\sigma P)}. \end{equation} \item[(c)] $\kappa(g_1)=\kappa_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}\chi_\pi(a)^2$, where $|\kappa_0|=1$ and $\kappa_0$ is the same for the whole group~\cite[(A.10)]{OAI1112}. \item[(d)] For $\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-crt} \ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta\ell}c\Bigr)=\psi(\lambda^4\ell) \prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A}e\Bigl(\frac{\epsilon_\pi h_\pi^{-1}\lambda^4\ell} \pi\Bigr), \end{equation} where $\psi(x)=e(\beta x/(\lambda^3c_0))$ with $\beta\in\OO$ the same for the whole group, and $\epsilon_\pi\in(\OO/\pi\OO)^\times$ depends only on $c$ and $\pi$~\cite[(A.11)]{OAI1112}. \item[(e)] For $\pi\in\mathcal A$, $0\le j\le5$ and $x\in\OO$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-local} \sum_{h\not\equiv0\ (\pi)}C_{\pi,j}(h)\,\chi_\pi(\sigma_\pi h)^{-2}\, e\Bigl(\frac{\epsilon_\pi h^{-1}x}\pi\Bigr) =\chi_\pi(\sigma_\pi)^{-2}\varpi_{\pi,j}B_{\pi,j}(x), \qquad|\varpi_{\pi,j}|=1, \end{equation} with $B_{\pi,j}$ as in~\eqref{eq:local}. This is~\cite[(A.12)]{OAI1112}, where $\varpi_{\pi,j}$ is called $\omega_{p,j}$. \end{enumerate} \paragraph{Step 3: the Mellin transform at the identity cusp.} For $\Re w>1$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d106} \mathcal T(w)=\Bigl(\ssum_n\frac{\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n) \Psi(n)}{\N(n)^w}\Bigr) \Bigl(\sum_b\frac{\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi(b)^3}{\N(b)^{3w-1/2}}\Bigr), \end{equation} a product of absolutely convergent series. The summand of~\eqref{eq:T} is the coefficient times $V(\N(n)\N(b)^3/X)/(\sqrt{\N(n)}\,\N(b))$. Inserting $V(y)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(\sigma_1)}\widehat V(w-\frac12)y^{1/2-w}dw$, where $\int_{(\sigma)}$ runs upward along $\Re w=\sigma$, gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-inversion} T(X;\Psi)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(\sigma_1)}\widehat V(w-\tfrac12)\, \mathcal T(w)\,X^{w-1/2}\,dw\qquad(\sigma_1>1). \end{equation} The series for $\Theta_\Psi$ has polynomially bounded coefficients, and $K_{1/3}(x)\ll e^{-x}$ for $x\ge1$~\cite[(10.25.3)]{DLMF}, so it may be differentiated termwise. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d107} f(v)=\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\Theta_\Psi(z,v)\big|_{z=0},\qquad \mathcal J(s)=\int_0^\infty f(v)\,v^{2s-1}dv. \end{equation} Since $(2\pi i\bar\ell)^2=-4\pi^2\N(\ell)\overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2}$, \eqref{eq:b3-bessel} shows that a mode $\ell$ contributes its coefficient times \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-mode} -\frac\pi2(2\pi)^{-2s}\Gamma(s+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s+\tfrac23)\, \overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2}\N(\ell)^{1/2-s}. \end{equation} For $\ell=\lambda^{-3}nb^3$ we have $\alpha(\lambda^{-3})=i$, so \begin{equation}\label{eq:d108} \overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2} =-\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6},\qquad \N(\ell)^{1/2-s}=27^{s-1/2}\N(n)^{1/2-s}\N(b)^{3/2-3s}. \end{equation} Inserting \eqref{eq:b3-coeff} and using $3^{5/2}\cdot27^{-1/2}=3$ and $|b|\,\N(b)^{3/2-3s}=\N(b)^{2-3s}$, we get \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-J} \mathcal J(s)=\frac{3\pi}2\Bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\Bigr)^s \Gamma(s+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s+\tfrac23)\,\mathcal T(s-\tfrac12) \qquad(\Re s>\tfrac32). \end{equation} Termwise integration is justified. Since $K_{1/3}>0$, the sum over the modes of the absolute values of the integrals is a constant times $\sum_n\N(n)^{1/2-\Re s}\sum_b\N(b)^{2-3\Re s}$, which is finite for $\Re s>\frac32$. With one derivative the same computation gives $\mathcal T$ at $s$ itself~\cite[(A.16)]{OAI1112}. The shift by $\frac12$, caused by the extra factor $|\ell|$, is the source of the CM gamma factors. \paragraph{Step 4: the chain rule at a cusp.} Fix $\mathbf h$, with the data of Step~2, and fix $v>0$. By~\cite[(5.1), (5.19)]{QF} and $\det g=1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d109} (z',v'):=g^{-1}(a/c+z,v)=\Bigl(-\frac\delta c-\frac{\bar z} {c^2(v^2+z\bar z)},\ \frac v{\N(c)(v^2+z\bar z)}\Bigr), \end{equation} and $\bar z'=\overline{z'}$. Regard $z'$, $\bar z'$ and $v'$ as smooth functions of $(z,\bar z)$ near $0$. Differentiation gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d110} \begin{aligned} \partial_{\bar z}z'&=-\frac{v^2}{c^2(v^2+z\bar z)^2},& \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}z'&=\frac{2zv^2}{c^2(v^2+z\bar z)^3},\\ \partial_{\bar z}\bar z'&=\frac{z^2}{\bar c^2(v^2+z\bar z)^2},& \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\bar z'&=-\frac{2z^3}{\bar c^2(v^2+z\bar z)^3},\\ \partial_{\bar z}v'&=-\frac{zv}{\N(c)(v^2+z\bar z)^2},& \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}v'&=\frac{2z^2v}{\N(c)(v^2+z\bar z)^3}. \end{aligned} \end{equation} At $z=0$ all six vanish except $\partial_{\bar z}z'=-(cv)^{-2}$. For a smooth function $F$ of $(z',v')$, the chain rule in the variables $Y\in\{z',\bar z',v'\}$ gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d111} \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\bigl[F(z',v')\bigr] =\sum_{Y,Y'}(\partial_Y\partial_{Y'}F)\,(\partial_{\bar z}Y) (\partial_{\bar z}Y')+\sum_Y(\partial_YF)\,\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}Y, \end{equation} and at $z=0$ only the term with $Y=Y'=z'$ survives. This proves~\eqref{eq:chain}. Taking $F=F_\sigma$ and using~\eqref{eq:b3-automorphy}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-cusp} \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\overline{\theta(a/c+z,v)}\big|_{z=0} =\overline{\kappa(g_1)}\,(cv)^{-4}\,G\Bigl(\frac1{\N(c)v}\Bigr), \qquad G(v'):=(\partial_{z'}^{\,2}F_\sigma)(-\delta/c,v'). \end{equation} In the expansion \begin{equation}\label{eq:d112} F_\sigma(z',v')=\frac{3^{5/2}}2\ind_{\sigma=0}v'^{\,2/3} +\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}d_\sigma(\ell)\,v'K_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v') \,\ce(\ell z'), \end{equation} the operator $\partial_{z'}^{\,2}$ removes the constant term and multiplies the mode $\ell$ by $(2\pi i\ell)^2=-4\pi^2\N(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2$. Hence \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-G} G(v')=-4\pi^2\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}d_\sigma(\ell)\N(\ell) \alpha(\ell)^2\,v'K_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v')\,\ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta\ell}c\Bigr). \end{equation} On this side the derivative is in $z'$ rather than $\bar z'$, which is why $\alpha(\ell)^2$ appears instead of $\overline{\alpha(\ell)}^{\,2}$. In the zeta case the single factor $-(cv)^{-2}$ produces the sign and the factor $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$ of~\cite[(A.18)]{OAI1112}. Here its square $(cv)^{-4}$ produces no sign. \paragraph{Step 5: continuation and the functional equation.} On $\lambda^{-3}\OO\setminus\{0\}$ we have $|\ell|\ge3^{-3/2}$, so the defining series shows that $f(v)$ decays exponentially as $v\to\infty$. As $v\to0$, by~\eqref{eq:b3-translates} and~\eqref{eq:b3-cusp}, $f(v)$ is the finite sum of the terms \begin{equation}\label{eq:d113} c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)\,\overline{\kappa(g_{1,\mathbf h})}\, (c_{\mathbf h}v)^{-4}\,G_{\mathbf h}\bigl(1/(\N(c_{\mathbf h})v)\bigr), \end{equation} where the subscript $\mathbf h$ marks the data of $\mathbf h$. By~\eqref{eq:b3-G}, and since $|\ell|\ge1/9$ on $\lambda^{-4}\OO\setminus\{0\}$, each $G_{\mathbf h}(v')$ decays exponentially as $v'\to\infty$. Hence $\mathcal J(s)$ converges absolutely for every $s$, is entire, and is bounded on vertical strips of bounded width. For $\Re s'>\frac32$ the computation of Step~3, with $\ell$ in place of $\bar\ell$, gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-dual} \mathcal J^\vee_{\mathbf h}(s'):=\int_0^\infty G_{\mathbf h}(v')\, v'^{\,2s'-1}dv' =-\frac\pi2(2\pi)^{-2s'}\Gamma(s'+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s'+\tfrac23) \sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}\frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2} {\N(\ell)^{s'-1/2}}\,\ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta\ell}c\Bigr). \end{equation} The series and the termwise integration converge absolutely. Indeed, write $\ell=u\lambda^mnb^3$ uniquely as in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}. The bound $|d_\sigma(\ell)|\le27\cdot3^{m/6}|b|$ gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d114} \sum_{\ell}|d_\sigma(\ell)|\,\N(\ell)^{1/2-\Re s'} \le6\cdot27\sum_{m\ge-4}3^{m(2/3-\Re s')}\sum_n\N(n)^{1/2-\Re s'} \sum_b\N(b)^{2-3\Re s'}<\infty . \end{equation} Now let $\Re s<\frac12$. In each term of $f$ substitute $v=1/(\N(c)v')$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d115} \int_0^\infty(cv)^{-4}G\Bigl(\frac1{\N(c)v}\Bigr)v^{2s-1}dv =c^{-4}\N(c)^{4-2s}\int_0^\infty G(v')\,v'^{\,3-2s}dv' =\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}\N(c)^{2-2s}\mathcal J^\vee(2-s). \end{equation} This integral converges absolutely, because $\Re(2-s)>\frac32$; here $c^{-4}\N(c)^2=(\bar c/c)^2=\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$. Summing over the finitely many $\mathbf h$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-fe} \mathcal J(s)=\sum_{\mathbf h}c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)\, \overline{\kappa(g_{1,\mathbf h})}\,\overline{\alpha(c_{\mathbf h})}^{\,4} \N(c_{\mathbf h})^{2-2s}\mathcal J^\vee_{\mathbf h}(2-s) \qquad(\Re s<\tfrac12). \end{equation} By~\eqref{eq:b3-J}, for $\Re w>1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d116} \mathcal T(w)=\mathcal J(w+\tfrac12)\Big/\Bigl(\frac{3\pi}2 \Bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\Bigr)^{w+1/2}\Gamma(w+\tfrac56) \Gamma(w+\tfrac76)\Bigr). \end{equation} The right side is entire, so $\mathcal T$ continues to an entire function. Fix $\sigma_1\in(1,2]$ and $\sigma_2\in[-1,0)$. On $\Re w=\sigma_1$, $\mathcal T$ is bounded. On $\Re w=\sigma_2$, apply \eqref{eq:b3-fe} and~\eqref{eq:b3-dual} at $s'=\frac32-w$. Stirling's formula then gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d117} |\mathcal T(w)|\ll\Bigl|\frac{\Gamma(\frac{11}6-w)\Gamma(\frac{13}6-w)} {\Gamma(w+\frac56)\Gamma(w+\frac76)}\Bigr| \ll(1+|\Im w|)^{2-4\sigma_2}. \end{equation} In the strip $\sigma_2\le\Re w\le\sigma_1$, $\mathcal J(w+\frac12)$ is bounded and $1/\Gamma$ is entire of order one, so $\mathcal T$ has finite order there. The Phragm\'en--Lindel\"of principle~\cite{PL08}, \cite[\S5.65]{Tit39} gives $|\mathcal T(w)|\ll(1+|\Im w|)^{2-4\sigma_2}$ throughout the strip. Since $\widehat V(w-\frac12)$ decays faster than any power of $|\Im w|$, uniformly in the strip, the contour in~\eqref{eq:b3-inversion} may be moved to $\Re w=\sigma_2$. No poles are crossed. \paragraph{Step 6: assembly.} On $\Re w=\sigma_2$, insert \eqref{eq:b3-J} at $s=w+\frac12$, then~\eqref{eq:b3-fe} and~\eqref{eq:b3-dual} at $s'=\frac32-w$, and set $t=\frac12-w$. Then $\frac32-w=1+t$, $w+\frac56=\frac43-t$, $w+\frac76=\frac53-t$, $\N(c)^{2-2s}=\N(c)^{2t}$ and $X^{w-1/2}=X^{-t}$. The constants combine as \begin{equation}\label{eq:d118} \frac{-\frac\pi2(2\pi)^{-2-2t}}{\frac{3\pi}2\bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2} \bigr)^{1-t}}=-\frac1{81}\Bigl(\frac{(2\pi)^4}{27}\Bigr)^{-t}. \end{equation} With $R(t)$ the gamma quotient of~\eqref{eq:weight}, this gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d119} \begin{split} T(X;\Psi)=-\frac1{81}\sum_{\mathbf h}c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)\, &\overline{\kappa(g_{1,\mathbf h})}\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4} \sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}\frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2} {\sqrt{\N(\ell)}}\,\ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta\ell}c\Bigr)\\ &\times\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(\frac12-\sigma_2)}\widehat V(-t)R(t) \Bigl(\frac{(2\pi)^4\N(\ell)X}{27\N(c)^2}\Bigr)^{-t}dt, \end{split} \end{equation} where $c,\sigma,\delta$ are the data of $\mathbf h$. The interchange of the $\ell$-sum and the $t$-integral is justified by the absolute convergence in~\eqref{eq:b3-dual} (note $\Re(1+t)>\frac32$), the rapid decay of $\widehat V(-t)$ and the polynomial bound~\eqref{eq:b3-stirling}. For each $\ell$ the $t$-integrand is holomorphic in $\Re t>-\frac43$ and decays rapidly in vertical strips. So its contour may be moved to $\Re t=0$, and by~\eqref{eq:weight} the integral becomes $V^\sharp(\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2)$. Finally fix a group $(h_0,\mathcal A)$. On it $c$, $\sigma$, $\psi$, $\kappa_0$, $\sigma_\pi$ and $\epsilon_\pi$ are fixed (Step~2). For $\pi\in\mathcal A$, $h_\pi$ runs over the nonzero residues modulo $\pi$; for $\pi\in\mathcal P\setminus\mathcal A$, $h_\pi=0$ and $j_\pi=0$. By Step~2(a),(c), $\overline{\kappa(g_1)}=\overline{\kappa_0}\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A} \chi_\pi(\sigma_\pi h_\pi)^{-2}$. Insert this,~\eqref{eq:b3-crt} and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d120} c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)=\widehat\phi(h_0)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P\setminus \mathcal A}\bigl(1-\N(\pi)^{-1}\bigr)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A} C_{\pi,j_\pi}(h_\pi). \end{equation} The sum over the $h_\pi$ factors into the local sums~\eqref{eq:b3-local} with $x=\lambda^4\ell$. The group therefore contributes~\eqref{eq:reflection} with \begin{equation}\label{eq:b3-C} C=-\frac{\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}}{81}\,\widehat\phi(h_0)\, \overline{\kappa_0}\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P\setminus\mathcal A} \bigl(1-\N(\pi)^{-1}\bigr)\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal A} \chi_\pi(\sigma_\pi)^{-2}\varpi_{\pi,j_\pi}, \end{equation} so $|C|\le1/81$. The zeta case has $-\frac i{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$ in place of $-\frac1{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$, with the same remaining factors~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}. Each series~\eqref{eq:reflection} converges absolutely. Indeed $|B_{\pi,j}|\le\N(\pi)^{1/2}$, and Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay} with $A=2$ bounds the series by a constant times $\sum_\ell|d_\sigma(\ell)|\N(\ell)^{-5/2}$, which is finite by the estimate after~\eqref{eq:b3-dual}. This proves Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection}. \section{The CM transformation formula at full generality}\label{app:s1-general} This appendix writes out item~1 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}. Part~II uses the transformation formula for $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$ in the generality of~\cite[Prop.~5.1]{OAI78}: \begin{itemize} \item a general modulus supported on $S$; \item tests that need not have compact support, such as the Gaussian of the probe; \item the exact dependence of every phase on the moving primes. \end{itemize} It also uses the marked form~\cite[Cor.~14.1]{OAI78} and three estimates built on it. Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} proves the formula for the twists of Part~I. Here we extend that proof, reusing its Steps~3--6, and then go through~\cite[Sections~5 and~14--15]{OAI78} statement by statement. The rule is the one used throughout Part~II. A step of~\cite{OAI78} that involves neither the derivative of $\theta$, nor the gamma factors, nor an angular factor is identical in the CM case, and we cite it by its number there. A step that involves any of these is written out. \paragraph{Notation.} We use the conventions of~\cite[Section~5.1]{OAI78}: $\ce(z)=\exp(2\pi i(z+\bar z))$, $e(z)=\ce(z/\lambda)$, and every power of a residue symbol vanishes at nonunits, so that $\chi_p(x)^0=\ind_{p\nmid x}$. The set $S$ is finite and contains the primes above $6$; a \emph{good} prime is a primary prime outside $S$. To avoid clashes with Part~II we rename some objects of~\cite{OAI78}: \begin{itemize} \item its norm $q_n$ is $\N(n)$, and its dual index $\mu$ is $\ell$; \item its scalar $\zeta$ is $C$, as in~\eqref{eq:reflection}; \item its Gauss sums $\tau_{p,m}^\pm$ are $\mathfrak g_{p,m}^\pm$, and its $\omega_{p,j}$ is $\varpi_{p,j}$, as in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}; \item its constant $K$ is written out as $(2\pi)^4/27$. \end{itemize} The kernels with one and two derivatives are \begin{equation}\label{eq:d121} R_1(t)=\prod_\pm\frac{\Gamma(1+t\pm\frac16)}{\Gamma(1-t\pm\frac16)},\qquad R_2(t)=\frac{\Gamma(\frac43+t)\Gamma(\frac53+t)}{\Gamma(\frac43-t)\Gamma(\frac53-t)}. \end{equation} $R_1$ is the kernel of~\cite{OAI78}, and $R_2$ is that of~\eqref{eq:weight}. \subsection{The statement} \paragraph{Arithmetic data.} These are those of~\cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI78}. \begin{itemize} \item $\mathcal X$ is a fixed finite family of finite-ray characters with conductors supported on $S$. \item $\mathfrak E$ is an integral modulus with prime support exactly $S$, divisible by all these conductors. Each member of $\mathcal X$ is extended by zero to the primary elements that are not prime to $\mathfrak E$. \item $L\in\OO\setminus\{0\}$ has prime support $S$, with $(18)\mid(L)$ and $\mathfrak E\mid(L)$, and for every $\Psi_0\in\mathcal X$ the function \begin{equation}\label{eq:d122} \phi(x)=\begin{cases}\chi_x(\lambda)^2\Psi_0(x),&x\equiv1\pmod3,\ (x,\mathfrak E)=1,\\0,&\text{otherwise},\end{cases} \end{equation} is $L$-periodic. \item $\Psi_0\in\mathcal X$; $\mathcal P$ is a finite set of primary primes not dividing $L$; $j_p\in\{0,\dots,5\}$ for $p\in\mathcal P$; and $\Psi(n)=\Psi_0(n)\prod_{p\in\mathcal P}\chi_p(n)^{j_p}$ on primary $n$. \end{itemize} \paragraph{Tests.} A \emph{log-Schwartz test} is a function $V\in C^\infty(0,\infty)$ such that $(x\partial_x)^jV(x)=O_{C,j}(x^C)$ as $x\to0$ and $O_{C,j}(x^{-C})$ as $x\to\infty$, for every $C>0$ and every integer $j\ge0$~\cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI78}. Its Mellin transform $\widehat V(t)=\int_0^\infty V(x)x^{t-1}dx$ is entire. Integration by parts in $\log x$ gives, uniformly for $\eta$ in a compact interval $I$ (in this appendix $\eta$ denotes a real number, as in~\cite{OAI78}, not the finite-order character of Part~II), \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-mellin-tail} |\widehat V(\eta+iu)|\ll_{I,N}(1+|u|)^{-N}\sum_{j=0}^N\int_0^\infty x^\eta|(x\partial_x)^jV(x)|\,\frac{dx}x \end{equation} for every $N\ge0$; this is~\cite[eq.~(4.11)]{OAI78}, whose boundary terms vanish for these tests. For $A\ge0$ and integers $B\ge0$ put, as in~\cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d123} \mathfrak M_{A,B}(V)=\sup_{-A\le\eta\le1/4}\int_{\mathbb R}(1+|u|)^B|\widehat V(\eta+iu)|\,du . \end{equation} The Gaussian $V_{\rm G}(y)=(2\sqrt\pi)^{-1}\exp(-\frac14(\log y)^2)$, with $\widehat V_{\rm G}(t)=e^{t^2}$, is a log-Schwartz test, and so is $\sqrt y\,W(y)$ for every $W\in C_c^\infty(0,\infty)$. \paragraph{The CM objects.} For $\Re s>1$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d124} \mathcal D_2(s,\Psi)=\ssum_{\substack{n\equiv1\ (3)\\(n,\mathfrak E)=1}} \frac{\gamma_2(n)\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\Psi(n)}{\N(n)^s},\qquad \mathcal L_2(s,\Psi)=\sum_{\substack{b\equiv1\ (3)\\(b,\mathfrak E)=1}} \frac{\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi(b)^3}{\N(b)^{3s-1/2}}, \end{equation} and $\mathcal T_2=\mathcal D_2\mathcal L_2$. These are the series $D,L_0,T$ of~\cite[Proposition~5.1]{OAI78} with $\overline\alpha$ replaced by $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$. For the data of Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}, $\mathcal T_2(w,\Psi)$ is the series $\mathcal T(w)$ of Step~3 there. The completed sum is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d125} T_V(X;\Psi)=\sum_{\substack{n\ {\rm sf},\ b\\n,b\equiv1\ (3),\ (nb,\mathfrak E)=1}} \frac{\gamma_2(n)\overline{\alpha(nb^3)}^{\,2}\Psi(nb^3)}{\sqrt{\N(n)}\,\N(b)} \,V\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)\N(b)^3}X\Bigr)\qquad(X>0). \end{equation} Here $n$ and $b$ may share primes, and $\Psi$ acts on the whole index $nb^3$, with its zeros. For $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$ this is the sum $T(X;\Psi)$ of~\eqref{eq:T}. The reflected test is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d126} V^\sharp(x)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(\sigma_0)}\widehat V(-t)\,R_2(t)\Bigl(\frac{(2\pi)^4x}{27}\Bigr)^{-t}dt \qquad(\sigma_0>-\tfrac43); \end{equation} for $\sigma_0=0$ it is~\eqref{eq:weight}. \begin{proposition}[CM completed reflection; CM form of {\cite[Prop.~5.1]{OAI78}}] \label{prop:s1-reflection} Let $V$ be a log-Schwartz test and $X>0$. \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] The series defining $T_V(X;\Psi)$ converges absolutely, and for every $a>1$ \begin{equation}\label{eq:d127} T_V(X;\Psi)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(a)}\widehat V(s-\tfrac12)\,X^{s-1/2}\,\mathcal T_2(s,\Psi)\,ds . \end{equation} \item[(b)] $\mathcal T_2(\cdot,\Psi)$ continues to an entire function with polynomial growth on every vertical strip. \item[(c)] The integral defining $V^\sharp$ converges absolutely and does not depend on $\sigma_0>-\frac43$. Take the terms, the cusp coefficient functions $d_\sigma$, the additive characters $\vartheta$, the local factors $B_p$ and the data $c=c_Fr$, $\kappa_F$, $\sigma_p$, $\epsilon_p$, $\varpi_{p,j}$ of~\cite[Prop.~5.1, items~(1)--(3)]{OAI78} for the same arithmetic data. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-reflection} T_V(X;\Psi)=\sum_{\rm terms}C\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO} \frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\,\alpha(\ell)^2\,\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)}{\sqrt{\N(\ell)}} \prod_{p\ {\rm active}}B_p(\lambda^4\ell)\;V^\sharp\Bigl(\frac{\N(\ell)X}{\N(c)^2}\Bigr), \end{equation} where every inner series converges absolutely and \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-scalar} C=-\frac{\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}}{81}\,\widehat\phi(h_0)\,\overline{\kappa_F} \prod_{p\ {\rm inactive}}\bigl(1-\N(p)^{-1}\bigr)\prod_{p\ {\rm active}}\chi_p(\sigma_p)^{-2}\varpi_{p,j_p}. \end{equation} Thus $C=-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}\zeta$, where $\zeta$ is the scalar of the same term in~\cite[eq.~(5.3)]{OAI78}, and $|C|\le\frac1{81}$. \item[(d)] The assertions of~\cite[Proposition~5.1, item~(3)]{OAI78} hold for these terms, with the same factor $1-\N(p)^{-1}$ in the branch compatibility. The cross-prime identity~\cite[eq.~(5.17)]{OAI78}, $\chi_p(\sigma_p)^{-2}\varpi_{p,j}=\xi_{p,j}\chi_p(c/p)^{2j+2}$ with $|\xi_{p,j}|=1$ depending only on $p$ and $j$, holds unchanged. Compared with the scalar of~\cite{OAI78}, the only new factor in~\eqref{eq:s1-scalar} is $-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$, and $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}=\overline{\alpha(c_F)}^{\,4}\prod_{p\ {\rm active}}\overline{\alpha(p)}^{\,4}$. \item[(e)] For $A\ge0$ and integers $j,J\ge0$, the two bounds~\cite[eqs.~(5.4) and~(5.5)]{OAI78} hold for this $V^\sharp$, with the same seminorms. In particular \begin{equation}\label{eq:d128} \bigl|(x\partial_x)^jV^\sharp(x)\bigr|\ll_{A,j}\min\{x^{1/4},(1+x)^{-A}\}\, \mathfrak M_{A,\lceil4A\rceil+j+2}(V)\qquad(x>0). \end{equation} The bound~\cite[eq.~(5.6)]{OAI78} for $\mathfrak M_{A,B}$ and the twist bound after it concern $V$ alone and hold as stated there. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} So the formula of~\cite{OAI78} changes in five places: the derivative $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}$, the angular factor $\overline{\alpha(nb^3)}^{\,2}$ of the completed index, the dual factor $\alpha(\ell)^2$, the kernel $R_2$, and the prefactor $-\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}/81$ in place of $-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}/81$. For $L=72$, $\Psi_0=\xi_0$ and $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$ with $W\in C_c^\infty(I)$, Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}(c) is a formula of the form of Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection}, with $c_F$, $\kappa_F$ and $\vartheta$ in the roles of $c_0$, $\kappa_0$ and $\psi$, and $C$ of the form~\eqref{eq:b3-C}. \subsection{Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}}\label{sec:s1-proof} \paragraph{The identical part.} The proof of~\cite[Prop.~5.1]{OAI78} has six paragraphs. The first four, from \emph{The fixed theta input} to \emph{The reflected additive phase}, work with the translated theta values $\overline{\theta(z+z_{\mathbf h},v)}$ and never differentiate them. We use them without change: \begin{itemize} \item the theta input, the three cusp functions, their coefficient functions $d_\sigma$ with the support and size bound~\cite[eq.~(5.2)]{OAI78}, the infinity coefficient~\cite[eqs.~(5.9) and~(5.10)]{OAI78}, and the choice of $L$ (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{The fixed theta input}]{OAI78}); \item the finite Fourier inversion with all zero extensions, giving \begin{equation}\label{eq:d129} \mathcal F(z,v)=\sum_{\mathbf h}C(\mathbf h)\,\overline{\theta(z+z_{\mathbf h},v)},\qquad z_{\mathbf h}=\lambda^2\Bigl(\frac{h_0}L+\sum_{p\in\mathcal P}\frac{h_p}p\Bigr),\qquad C(\mathbf h)=\widehat\phi(h_0)\prod_pC_{p,j_p}(h_p), \end{equation} with the whole-index mask $(nb,\mathfrak E)=1$ (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Finite Fourier inversion with the zero extensions}]{OAI78}); \item the reduced fractions $z_{\mathbf h}=a/c$ with $c=c_Fr$ (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Finite Fourier inversion with the zero extensions}]{OAI78}), the matrices $g=\bigl(\begin{smallmatrix}a&b'\\c&\delta'\end{smallmatrix}\bigr)=GH\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO)$ with $G\in\Gamma(3)$ (the group written $\Gamma_1(3)$ in~\cite{OAI78}), and the multiplier formula~\cite[eq.~(5.15)]{OAI78}; \item the additive phase~\cite[eq.~(5.16)]{OAI78}, the local Gauss sums that produce $\varpi_{p,j}B_p$, the counts of terms, the branch compatibility and the cross-prime phase (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{The reflected additive phase}]{OAI78}). \end{itemize} From this part we need two facts. For every $\mathbf h$, with $z_{\mathbf h}=a/c$ and $g,G,H$ as above, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-automorphy} \overline{\theta(a/c+z,v)}=\overline{\kappa(G)}\;\overline{\theta\bigl(Hg^{-1}(a/c+z,v)\bigr)} \end{equation} (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation}]{OAI78}). And, by~\cite[eq.~(5.7)]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d130} \overline{\theta(H(z',v'))}=C_H(v')+\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}d_\sigma(\ell)\,v'K_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v')\,\ce(\ell z'), \end{equation} where $C_H$ does not depend on $z'$ and $d_\sigma$, $\sigma\in\{0,+,-\}$, is the one of the three fixed coefficient functions that belongs to $H$; these are the functions $d_\sigma$ of Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}, and $d_0$ belongs to $H=I$. The last two paragraphs of that proof, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation} and \emph{Uniform estimates for the transformed test}, use the single derivative. We redo it with two. Steps~1--4 below are Steps~3--6 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}, which we reuse; we record only what changes at the present generality. \paragraph{Step 1: the direct transform.} Put $f(v)=\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\mathcal F(z,v)\big|_{z=0}$ and $\mathcal J_2(s)=\int_0^\infty f(v)v^{2s-1}dv$. By~\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Finite Fourier inversion with the zero extensions}]{OAI78}, the expansion of $\mathcal F$ at the identity cusp has the constant term $\sum_{\mathbf h}C(\mathbf h)\,C_I(v)=\phi(0)\prod_p\chi_p(0)^{j_p}C_I(v)=0$, and its other terms are supported on $\ell\in\lambda^{-3}\OO\setminus\{0\}$, where the coefficient is $d_0(\ell)\phi(\lambda^3\ell)\prod_p\chi_p(\lambda^3\ell)^{j_p}$. This coefficient vanishes unless $\lambda^3\ell=nb^3$ with $n$ squarefree, $n,b\equiv1\pmod3$ and $(nb,\mathfrak E)=1$, and then it equals $3^{5/2}|b|\,\gamma_2(n)\Psi(n)\Psi(b)^3$. This replaces~\eqref{eq:b3-coeff}; $n$ and $b$ may share primes. In every case its absolute value is at most $3^{5/2}|b|$. Since $|\ell|\ge3^{-3/2}$ and $K_{1/3}(y)\ll e^{-y}$ for $y\ge1$, the expansion may be differentiated termwise. Step~3 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof} uses only this coefficient formula and this bound, so it gives, with absolutely convergent termwise integrals, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-direct} \mathcal J_2(s)=\frac{3\pi}2\Bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\Bigr)^s\Gamma(s+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s+\tfrac23)\, \mathcal T_2(s-\tfrac12,\Psi)\qquad(\Re s>\tfrac32). \end{equation} In~\cite[eq.~(5.18)]{OAI78} the same integral with one derivative is $\frac{3^{5/2}}4(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2})^s\Gamma(s+\frac13)\Gamma(s+\frac23)T(s,\Psi)$. The second derivative brings the extra factor $2\pi i\bar\ell$; its modulus $2\pi|\ell|$ shifts the Dirichlet series by $\frac12$, and its phase turns $\overline\alpha$ into $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$. \paragraph{Step 2: the cusps.} Fix $\mathbf h$. Step~4 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof} uses only that $g\in\mathrm{SL}_2(\OO)$ has lower row $(c,\delta')$ and the formula for $g^{-1}(a/c+z,v)$ (\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation}]{OAI78} and~\cite[(5.1), (5.19)]{QF}). With~\eqref{eq:s1-automorphy} it gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-cusp} \partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\overline{\theta(a/c+z,v)}\big|_{z=0} =\overline{\kappa(G)}\,(cv)^{-4}\,\mathcal G_{\mathbf h}\Bigl(\frac1{\N(c)v}\Bigr), \end{equation} where \begin{equation}\label{eq:d131} \mathcal G_{\mathbf h}(v')=-4\pi^2\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}d_\sigma(\ell)\N(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2\, v'K_{1/3}(4\pi|\ell|v')\,\ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta'\ell}c\Bigr). \end{equation} The operator $\partial_{z'}^{\,2}$ removes $C_H(v')$. This replaces the formula of \cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation}]{OAI78}, which has $-\overline{\kappa(G)}(cv)^{-2}$ and one derivative $\partial_{z'}$. \paragraph{Step 3: continuation and growth.} By Step~1, $f(v)$ decays exponentially as $v\to\infty$. As $v\to0$, $f(v)=\sum_{\mathbf h}C(\mathbf h)\overline{\kappa(G_{\mathbf h})}(c_{\mathbf h}v)^{-4} \mathcal G_{\mathbf h}(1/(\N(c_{\mathbf h})v))$ decays exponentially as well, because $|\ell|\ge\frac19$ on $\lambda^{-4}\OO\setminus\{0\}$ and $d_\sigma$ is polynomially bounded. So $\mathcal J_2$ is entire and bounded on vertical strips. For $\Re s'>\frac32$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-dual} \mathcal J^\vee_{\mathbf h}(s'):=\int_0^\infty\mathcal G_{\mathbf h}(v')\,v'^{\,2s'-1}dv' =-\frac\pi2(2\pi)^{-2s'}\Gamma(s'+\tfrac13)\Gamma(s'+\tfrac23) \sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}\frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2}{\N(\ell)^{s'-1/2}}\,\ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta'\ell}c\Bigr), \end{equation} with absolute convergence of the series and of the termwise integrals. Indeed, writing $\ell=u\lambda^knb^3$ as in~\cite[eq.~(5.2)]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d132} \sum_\ell|d_\sigma(\ell)|\,\N(\ell)^{1/2-\Re s'}\le6\cdot27\sum_{k\ge-4}3^{k(2/3-\Re s')} \ssum_n\N(n)^{1/2-\Re s'}\sum_b\N(b)^{2-3\Re s'}<\infty . \end{equation} Here $n$ and $b$ run over all primary elements, $n$ squarefree, including those divisible by primes of $S$ other than $\lambda$, and pairs that share primes; the size bound covers all of them (\cite[Proposition~5.1; proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{The fixed theta input}]{OAI78}). This is the majorant of~\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Mellin normalization and continuation}]{OAI78} in the variable $s'-\frac12$. For $\Re s<\frac12$ the substitution $v=1/(\N(c)v')$ of Step~5 of the proof in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} (Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}) gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-fe} \mathcal J_2(s)=\sum_{\mathbf h}C(\mathbf h)\,\overline{\kappa(G_{\mathbf h})}\; \overline{\alpha(c_{\mathbf h})}^{\,4}\,\N(c_{\mathbf h})^{2-2s}\,\mathcal J^\vee_{\mathbf h}(2-s) \qquad(\Re s<\tfrac12), \end{equation} where $c^{-4}\N(c)^2=\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$. By~\eqref{eq:s1-direct}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d133} \mathcal T_2(w,\Psi)=\mathcal J_2(w+\tfrac12)\Big/\Bigl(\frac{3\pi}2\Bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\Bigr)^{w+1/2} \Gamma(w+\tfrac56)\Gamma(w+\tfrac76)\Bigr) \end{equation} continues to an entire function. Let $\sigma_2<0<1<\sigma_1$. On $\Re w=\sigma_1$, $\mathcal T_2$ is bounded. On $\Re w=\sigma_2$, \eqref{eq:s1-fe} and~\eqref{eq:s1-dual} at $s'=\frac32-w$ and Stirling's formula give $|\mathcal T_2(w)|\ll(1+|\Im w|)^{2-4\sigma_2}$, as in Step~5 of the proof in Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}. In the strip $\sigma_2\le\Re w\le\sigma_1$, $\mathcal J_2(w+\frac12)$ is bounded and $1/(\Gamma(w+\frac56)\Gamma(w+\frac76))\ll e^{\pi|\Im w|}(1+|\Im w|)^{O(1)}$. The Phragm\'en--Lindel\"of principle therefore gives $|\mathcal T_2(w)|\ll(1+|\Im w|)^{2-4\sigma_2}$ throughout the strip. Every vertical strip lies in such a strip, which proves~(b). As in~\cite{OAI78}, the constants depend on $L,\Psi_0,\mathcal P,(j_p)$ and the strip. \paragraph{Step 4: a log-Schwartz test.} This is the step where the generality of the test matters. Since $(x\partial_x)^0V=V$ is $O(x^{-1})$ at infinity and bounded at zero, $|V(y)|\ll_V y^{-1}$ for all $y>0$. Hence \begin{equation}\label{eq:d134} \sum_{n,b}\frac{|V(\N(n)\N(b)^3/X)|}{\sqrt{\N(n)}\,\N(b)}\ll_V X\ssum_n\N(n)^{-3/2}\sum_b\N(b)^{-4}<\infty . \end{equation} By~\eqref{eq:s1-mellin-tail}, $\widehat V(w)$ is integrable on every vertical line. Mellin inversion~\cite[\S1.14(iv)]{DLMF} $V(y)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(a-1/2)}\widehat V(w)y^{-w}dw$ holds, because $u\mapsto e^{(a-1/2)u}V(e^u)$ is a Schwartz function. Since $\mathcal T_2$ converges absolutely on $\Re s=a>1$, Fubini's theorem gives~(a). Now move the contour of~(a) from $\Re s=a$ to $\Re s=\sigma_2$, with $-1\le\sigma_2<0$. By~(b) and~\eqref{eq:s1-mellin-tail}, the integrand decays faster than any power of $|\Im s|$, uniformly in the strip, so the horizontal segments contribute nothing in the limit; there are no poles. On $\Re s=\sigma_2$ insert~\eqref{eq:s1-fe} and~\eqref{eq:s1-dual} with $s'=\frac32-s$, and put $t=\frac12-s$. Then $\Gamma(\frac{11}6-s)\Gamma(\frac{13}6-s)/(\Gamma(s+\frac56)\Gamma(s+\frac76))=R_2(t)$, $\N(c)^{1-2s}=\N(c)^{2t}$, $\N(\ell)^{s-1}=\N(\ell)^{-1/2-t}$, $X^{s-1/2}=X^{-t}$, and the constants combine as in Step~6 of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d135} \frac{-\frac\pi2(2\pi)^{-2-2t}}{\frac{3\pi}2\bigl(\frac{27}{(2\pi)^2}\bigr)^{1-t}} =-\frac1{81}\Bigl(\frac{(2\pi)^4}{27}\Bigr)^{-t}. \end{equation} This gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d136} \begin{split} T_V(X;\Psi)=-\frac1{81}\sum_{\mathbf h}C(\mathbf h)\,\overline{\kappa(G_{\mathbf h})}\; &\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO}\frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2}{\sqrt{\N(\ell)}}\, \ce\Bigl(-\frac{\delta'\ell}c\Bigr)\\ &\times\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(\frac12-\sigma_2)}\widehat V(-t)R_2(t) \Bigl(\frac{(2\pi)^4\N(\ell)X}{27\N(c)^2}\Bigr)^{-t}dt, \end{split} \end{equation} with $c,H,\sigma,\delta'$ the data of $\mathbf h$. The interchange of the $\ell$-sum and the $t$-integral is justified by the majorant of Step~3 at $\Re s'=1+\Re t=\frac32-\sigma_2>\frac32$, by~\eqref{eq:s1-mellin-tail}, and by the bound $|R_2(\eta+iu)|\ll(1+|u|)^{4\eta}$ of Step~5 below. By Step~5 below, each $t$-integral equals $V^\sharp(\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2)$. Finally group the $\mathbf h$ by $h_0$ and the active set. On a group, $c$, $H$, $\sigma$, $\kappa_F$ and the residue of $\delta'$ that determines $\vartheta$ are fixed, and so is $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$. The sum over the active frequencies of $C(\mathbf h)\overline{\kappa(G_{\mathbf h})}\ce(-\delta'\ell/c)$ is computed in~\cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{The reflected additive phase}]{OAI78}; it does not involve the derivative. It gives $\widehat\phi(h_0)\overline{\kappa_F}\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)\prod_{\rm inactive}(1-\N(p)^{-1})\prod_{\rm active} \chi_p(\sigma_p)^{-2}\varpi_{p,j_p}B_p(\lambda^4\ell)$, which proves~\eqref{eq:s1-reflection} and~\eqref{eq:s1-scalar}. Every factor of $C$ other than $-1/81$ has modulus at most one, and $-\frac1{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}=-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}\cdot(-\frac i{81}\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2})$. Each inner series in~\eqref{eq:s1-reflection} converges absolutely by~(e) with $A=2$, the bound $|B_p|\le\N(p)^{1/2}$ and the majorant of Step~3, as at the end of Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}. Part~(d) holds because $d_\sigma,\vartheta$, the local data and the inactive factors are those of~\cite{OAI78}, while $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$ and the kernel depend on a branch only through $c$, which an inactive prime does not change. The factorization of $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$ holds because $c=c_Fr$ is a product of elements and $\alpha$ is multiplicative. \paragraph{Step 5: the reflected test.} The poles of the numerator of $R_2$ are at $-\frac43-k$ and $-\frac53-k$ ($k\ge0$), and $1/\Gamma$ is entire, so $R_2$ is holomorphic in $\Re t>-\frac43$. For $\eta_0>-\frac43$ and $A\ge0$, Stirling's formula for $|u|\ge1$ and continuity for $|u|\le1$ give \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-stirling} |R_2(\eta+iu)|\ll_{\eta_0,A}(1+|u|)^{4\eta}\qquad(\eta_0\le\eta\le A), \end{equation} which for $\eta_0=-\frac14$ is~\eqref{eq:b3-stirling}. Together with~\eqref{eq:s1-mellin-tail}, this shows that the integral defining $V^\sharp$ converges absolutely on every line $\Re t>-\frac43$, and rectangle shifts show that its value does not depend on the line. This is~(c) for $V^\sharp$. The proof of~\cite[eqs.~(5.4) and~(5.5)]{OAI78} in \cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Uniform estimates for the transformed test}]{OAI78} uses only two properties of its kernel $R_1$: holomorphy in $\Re t>-\frac56$, a region containing the strip $-\frac14\le\Re t\le A$, and the bound~\eqref{eq:s1-stirling} with the exponent $4\eta$ on that strip. $R_2$ has both, so the proof applies verbatim and gives~(e). The rest of \cite[proof of Proposition~5.1, \emph{Uniform estimates for the transformed test}]{OAI78} concerns $V$ alone. This completes the proof. The CM kernel is holomorphic further to the left than $R_1$, so $V^\sharp(x)=O(x^{4/3})$ as $x\to0$; we do not use this, and the exponent $\frac14$ in~(e) is kept so that every later estimate of~\cite{OAI78} applies with its own exponents. \paragraph{What the later arguments use.} The proofs in~\cite[Sections~5.2--5.5, Sections~14--15]{OAI78} use the reflection only through the following properties. Each holds for Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}, by the part indicated. \begin{enumerate} \item[(R1)] \emph{Shape and branches:} a finite expansion over $h_0$, active sets and Ramanujan splittings, with conductor $c=c_Fr$, the canonical $d_\sigma,\vartheta,B_p$, and the branch compatibility at inactive primes. By~(c) and~(d) these are literally those of~\cite{OAI78}. \item[(R2)] \emph{The scalar:} $C$ does not depend on $\ell$, and $|C|\le\frac1{81}$. Its dependence on the active primes is that of~\cite{OAI78} times $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$, which is completely multiplicative in the active primes (part~(d)). \item[(R3)] \emph{The dual coefficient:} $d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)\N(\ell)^{-1/2}$, where $|\alpha(\ell)^2|=1$ and $\alpha(\ell)^2$ is a function of $\ell$ alone. The support and the size bound of $d_\sigma$ are those of~\cite{OAI78}. \item[(R4)] \emph{The kernel argument} $\N(\ell)X/\N(c)^2$, which is that of~\cite{OAI78}. \item[(R5)] \emph{The kernel bounds}~(e), with the same seminorm orders as in~\cite{OAI78}. \item[(R6)] \emph{The Mellin representation}~(a) of the completed sum, for every log-Schwartz test. \end{enumerate} In the proofs of~\cite{OAI78}, the factor $\alpha(\ell)$ of (R3) is always absorbed into a coefficient of the dual index, and the angular part of the scalar in (R2) is always split into a row factor and a tuple factor. The same operations apply to $\alpha(\ell)^2$ and to $\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}$. No norm power changes, so no exponent changes. \subsection{Unmarked completed rows}\label{sec:s1-unmarked} For a finite-ray character $\nu$ with conductor supported on $S$, extended by zero away from the primary elements prime to $S$, a nonzero $m\in\OO$, a log-Schwartz test $V$ and $X>0$, put \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-central} \mathcal C^{(2)}_V(X;m,\nu)=\sum_{\substack{c\ {\rm sf},\ n\\c,n\equiv1\ (3),\ (cn,S)=1}} \frac{\gamma_2(c)\,\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,2}\,\nu(cn^3)\,\chi_{cn^3}(m)}{\sqrt{\N(c)}\,\N(n)} \,V\Bigl(\frac{\N(c)\N(n)^3}X\Bigr). \end{equation} This is~\cite[eq.~(5.30)]{OAI78} with $\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}$ replaced by $\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,2}$; in Section~\ref{sec:78probe} it is the completed row $B_m$, with $X=Z$. The table lists every statement of~\cite[Sections~5.2--5.5]{OAI78} and its status for this sum. \begin{center} \small \begin{tabular}{>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{2.0cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{4.4cm}>{\raggedright\arraybackslash}p{8.7cm}} \toprule Section of~\cite{OAI78} & statement & CM status\\\midrule 5.2 & Lemma~5.2 & identical: concerns only $A\mapsto\chi_A(m)$\\ 5.3 & Lemma~5.3, (5.24), Gaussian remark & identical: uses only~(R5), and the CM kernel has the same seminorm orders\\ 5.3 & Lemma~5.4 & identical; for $K=V^\sharp$ the constant $C_A\ll\mathfrak M_{A,\lceil4A\rceil+2}(V)$ comes from~(R5)\\ 5.4 & (5.26), Lemma~5.5 & identical: no reflection; the coefficients $\beta(n,b)$ are arbitrary\\ 5.5 & (5.30), (5.31) & replaced by~\eqref{eq:s1-central}; its Mellin form is~(R6) with $\Psi=\nu\chi_\bullet(m)$, by the same zero-preserving identity $\chi_{cn^3}(m)=\chi_c(m)\chi_n(m)^3$\\ 5.5 & heuristic for squarefree rows & identical, with $\alpha(\ell)^2$ in the dual coefficient\\ 5.5 & Definition~5.6 & the specified term is now a term of~\eqref{eq:s1-reflection}\\ 5.5 & Lemma~5.7 & statement identical; in its proof put $\delta(n,b)=d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)/(27\cdot3^{k/6}|B_Fb|)$ and $\rho(R)=81C_R\chi_R(x_F)^3$, still bounded by one by~(R2),~(R3); the rest is verbatim\\ 5.5 & retention and tail removal & identical: uses $|d_\sigma(\ell)|\N(\ell)^{-1/2}\le27\N(\lambda)^{4/3}$, $|B_p|\le\N(p)^{1/2}$,~(R4) and~(R5)\\ 5.5 & (5.35) & identical\\ 5.5 & Lemma~5.8 & statement and proof identical for $\mathcal C^{(2)}_V$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-unmarked})\\ 5.5 & Gaussian test, (5.39) & identical\\\bottomrule \end{tabular} \end{center} \begin{lemma}[CM form of {\cite[Lemma~5.8]{OAI78}}]\label{lem:s1-unmarked} Let $\nu$ range over a fixed finite family as above. Fix bounded ranges for $M\ge0$ and $N\in\mathbb R$, a constant $C_m\ge1$ and fixed dyadic support comparisons, and let $m_{\rm pow}$ be the maximal powerful ideal factor of $m$. For every $\varepsilon>0$ there are $A\ge0$ and an integer $J\ge0$ such that, for every log-Schwartz test $V$, every dyadic range $\N(m_{\rm pow})\asymp Z^O$ with $O\ge0$, and all sufficiently large $Z$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d137} \sum_{\substack{0<\N(m)\le C_mZ^M\\\N(m_{\rm pow})\asymp Z^O}}\bigl|\mathcal C^{(2)}_V(Z^N;m,\nu)\bigr|^2 \ll Z^{O/2+\max\{M-O,\,2M-O-N\}+\varepsilon}\,\mathfrak M_{A,J}(V)^2 . \end{equation} The uniformity is that of~\cite[Lemma~5.8]{OAI78}. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The proof of~\cite[Lemma~5.8]{OAI78} applies verbatim. It uses the reflection only through~(R1)--(R6), via~\cite[Lemma~5.7]{OAI78} and the tail argument after it, and the table above records the CM form of each. \end{proof} Summing over the $O(\log Z)$ dyads $O\ge0$, with $N=1$, gives the precise form of Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-completed}: for every $\varepsilon>0$ and $M$ in a bounded range there are $A,J$ with \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-cm-completed} \sum_{0<\N(m)\le Z^M}\bigl|\mathcal C^{(2)}_V(Z;m,\nu)\bigr|^2\ll Z^{\max\{M,\,2M-1\}+\varepsilon}\, \mathfrak M_{A,J}(V)^2 , \end{equation} since $O/2+\max\{M-O,2M-O-1\}\le\max\{M,2M-1\}$ for $O\ge0$. With $Q=Z^M$ the right side is $Z^\varepsilon(Q+Q^2/Z)\mathfrak M_{A,J}(V)^2$. The test of the probe is the Gaussian, and the finite Fourier sum over $\theta\in\widehat T$ costs a fixed factor, as in~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78}. \subsection{Marks}\label{sec:s1-marks} \begin{proposition}[CM form of {\cite[Cor.~14.1]{OAI78}}]\label{prop:s1-marked} Fix an instance of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}, with local set $\mathcal P_0$, exponents $j_p$, function $\phi$ and test $V$, and let $\mathcal Q$ be a finite set of good primes disjoint from $\mathcal P_0$. Let $T_{V,\mathcal Q}(X;\Psi)$ be $T_V(X;\Psi)$ with the factor $\prod_{q\in\mathcal Q}\ind_{q\mid nb^3}$ inserted. Then \begin{equation}\label{eq:d138} T_{V,\mathcal Q}(X;\Psi)=\sum_{\mathcal B}C_{\mathcal Q}\sum_{0\ne\ell\in\lambda^{-4}\OO} \frac{d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)}{\sqrt{\N(\ell)}}\prod_{p\in\mathcal A_0}B_p(\lambda^4\ell) \prod_{q\in\mathcal A_{\mathcal Q}}\frac{\chi_q(\lambda^4\ell)^{-2}}{\sqrt{\N(q)}}\; V^\sharp\Bigl(\frac{\N(\ell)X}{\N(c)^2}\Bigr), \end{equation} where a branch $\mathcal B$ specifies $h_0$, the base active and inactive sets $\mathcal A_0,\mathcal I_0$ and a partition $\mathcal Q=\mathcal A_{\mathcal Q}\sqcup\mathcal I_{\mathcal Q}$; $c=c_F(h_0)\prod_{p\in\mathcal A_0\cup\mathcal A_{\mathcal Q}}p$; $d_\sigma,\vartheta,B_p$ are those of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection} for this active radical; and, with $\sigma_p,\epsilon_p,\varpi_{p,j}$ computed from this $c$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d139} C_{\mathcal Q}=-\frac{\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}}{81}\,\widehat\phi(h_0)\,\overline{\kappa_F} \prod_{p\in\mathcal I_0}\bigl(1-\N(p)^{-1}\bigr)\prod_{q\in\mathcal I_{\mathcal Q}}\N(q)^{-1} \prod_{p\in\mathcal A_0}\chi_p(\sigma_p)^{-2}\varpi_{p,j_p} \prod_{q\in\mathcal A_{\mathcal Q}}\chi_q(\sigma_q)^{-2}\bigl(-\varpi_{q,0}\bigr). \end{equation} So $C_{\mathcal Q}=-i\,\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}\zeta_{\mathcal Q}$ with $\zeta_{\mathcal Q}$ of~\cite[eq.~(14.4)]{OAI78}, and $|C_{\mathcal Q}|\le\frac1{81}$. Every dual series converges absolutely. A marked prime that belongs to $\mathcal P_0$ makes the primal term vanish identically. \end{proposition} \begin{proof} The proof of~\cite[Cor.~14.1]{OAI78} expands $\prod_q(1-\chi_q(A)^0)$ and applies the reflection to each of the finitely many resulting completed sums. It then combines branches using only the branch compatibility. Both hold for Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}, by~(c) and~(d), so the proof applies verbatim. The inactive coefficient is $1-(1-\N(q)^{-1})=\N(q)^{-1}$. The active contribution comes from the subtracted zero-mask transform, with local factor $\N(q)^{-1/2}\chi_q(\lambda^4\ell)^{-2}$ and scalar $-\varpi_{q,0}=\mathfrak g^+_{q,2}\chi_q(\epsilon_q)^{-2}$. \end{proof} \paragraph{Separation of the phases.} The discussion after the corollary in~\cite[Section~14.2]{OAI78} carries over. The pair identity~\cite[eq.~(14.5)]{OAI78}, $\chi_p(q)^{2j_p+2}\chi_q(p)^{2j_q+2}=(q/p)_3^{j_p+j_q+2}$, is local and unchanged. A residual row prime ($j_p=1$) and an active mark ($j_q=0$) therefore have pair factor $(q/p)_3^3=1$. Write $R$ for the product of the residual row primes, $P$ for the product of the active marked primes and $F_{\rm act}$ for the frozen active base product, so that $c=c_FF_{\rm act}RP$. The angular factor of $C_{\mathcal Q}$ is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d140} \overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,4}=\overline{\alpha(c_FF_{\rm act})}^{\,4}\cdot\overline{\alpha(R)}^{\,4}\cdot \overline{\alpha(P)}^{\,4}, \end{equation} a fixed factor times a row factor times a tuple factor. On the dual side, after the unit, the $\lambda$-valuation and the extracted frozen factors are fixed, $\ell=u\lambda^{h_\lambda}N_Fn(B_Fb)^3$ and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d141} \alpha(\ell)^2=\alpha\bigl(u\lambda^{h_\lambda}N_FB_F^3\bigr)^2\,\alpha(n)^2\,\alpha(b)^6, \end{equation} a function of the dual index alone. So, after the common smooth separation, the tuple coefficient is a bounded function of the tuple independent of $R,n,b$, and the dual coefficient is independent of $R$ and $P$, exactly as stated in~\cite[Section~14.2]{OAI78}. \subsection{Reflected energy and the compensated completed row}\label{sec:s1-energy} \paragraph{The quadratic--cubic norm.} \cite[Lemma~14.2]{OAI78} is a statement about arbitrary bounded coefficients $a(P)$ and $\beta(n,b)$, proved with the quadratic and cubic large sieves. It involves neither the reflection nor the weight, and it is used without change. \paragraph{The marked completion.} Take the data of~\cite[Section~14.1]{OAI78}: disjoint slot lists $\mathcal P_i$ of good primes with bounded coefficients $a_i(p)$, a fixed puncture $\rho$, a squarefree ideal $f$ outside $S$, a multiplicative finite-ray character $\nu$ with defining modulus supported on $S$, $\Psi_k(n)=\nu(n)\rho(n)\chi_n(k) \chi_n(f)^4$, the mark $\mathfrak d$ of~\cite[eq.~(14.1)]{OAI78}, and $V_*(y)=y^{1/2}W(y)$ with $W$ smooth and annular. The CM marked completion is \begin{equation}\label{eq:s1-marked-completion} \mathcal T^{(2)}_{\mathfrak d}(X;k)=\sum_{\substack{n\ {\rm sf}\\b}} \frac{\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\Psi_k(n)\,\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(b)^3}{\sqrt{\N(n)}\,\N(b)} \,\mathfrak d(nb^3)\,V_*\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)\N(b)^3}X\Bigr), \end{equation} which is~\cite[eq.~(14.2)]{OAI78} with $\overline\alpha,\overline\alpha^{\,3}$ replaced by $\overline\alpha^{\,2},\overline\alpha^{\,6}$. Its reflection is Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-marked}, applied after the row-sector reduction of~\cite[Section~14.1]{OAI78}, which does not involve the weight. \begin{lemma}[CM form of {\cite[Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}}]\label{lem:s1-reflected-energy} Define the reflected block data as in~\cite[Section~14.4, \emph{Reflected block data}]{OAI78}, with~\cite[eq.~(14.3)]{OAI78} replaced by the expansion of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-marked} for~\eqref{eq:s1-marked-completion}. Then every assertion of~\cite[Lemma~14.3]{OAI78} holds verbatim: the retention rule~\cite[eq.~(14.11)]{OAI78} with the same $T_d$ and the same negligible tail, the coefficient exponent~\cite[eq.~(14.12)]{OAI78}, and, with $u=\min\{v,z_a,(v+z_a)/3\}$ and $E_{\rm ref}$ of~\cite[eqs.~(14.13) and (14.14)]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d142} \sum_{k_{\rm res}\ {\rm sf}}|\mathcal U_{v,\ell_b,e_\lambda}(k_{\rm res})|^2\ll Z^{E_{\rm ref}-O/2+\varepsilon} \end{equation} for fixed $k_{\rm pow},k_{\rm sup}$, and $O(Z^{E_{\rm ref}+\varepsilon})$ after summing them, with the same uniformity. Consequently~\cite[eqs.~(14.17) and~(14.18)]{OAI78} hold for $\mathcal T^{(2)}_1$: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d143} \sideset{}{'}\sum_{0<\N(k)\ll Z^M}\bigl|\mathcal T^{(2)}_1(Z^{N_*};k)\bigr|^2\ll Z^{O/2+\max\{M-O,\,2M-O+Q_\rho+V_f-N_*\}+\varepsilon}, \end{equation} where $Q_\rho=\log_Z\N(\mathfrak r_\rho)$ and $V_f=\log_Z\N(f)$ are the lengths called $Q$ and $V$ in~\cite{OAI78}, and the prime restricts the powerful part of $k$ to its $O$-dyad. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} We go through the proof of~\cite[Lemma~14.3]{OAI78} and list where the reflection enters. \begin{itemize} \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: inactive slots are removed by the triangle inequality, using the inactive coefficient $\N(p)^{-1}$ and the fact that an inactive prime is absent from the conductor. This is (R1) for Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-marked}. \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: the frozen-base extraction~\cite[eq.~(5.32)]{OAI78}, made simultaneous over the tuples by the separation of phases. Its common coefficient comes from $|d_\sigma(\ell)|\le27\cdot3^{k/6}|b|$, the normalization $\N(\ell)^{-1/2}$ and the local factors; the CM dual coefficient differs by the unimodular $\alpha(\ell)^2$, which goes into $\beta(n,b)$ (R3), and the scalar is separated as in Section~\ref{sec:s1-marks} (R2). \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: the kernel argument~\cite[eq.~(14.15)]{OAI78} and the extraction of $m_{\rm ker}=Z^{-(D_{\rm ker})_+/4}$ by~\cite[Lemma~5.3]{OAI78}. These use (R4) and (R5). \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: the tail, by~\cite[Lemma~5.4]{OAI78}, uses $|d_\sigma(\ell)|\N(\ell)^{-1/2}\le 27\N(\lambda)^{4/3}$, $|B_p|,|\chi_q^{-2}|\le\N(p)^{1/2}$, (R4) and (R5). \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: Fourier separation and the verification of the two independence hypotheses. In the CM case the tuple scalar acquires $\overline{\alpha(P)}^{\,4}$, the row scalar acquires $\overline{\alpha(R)}^{\,4}$, and the dual coefficient acquires $\alpha(\ell)^2$, as shown in Section~\ref{sec:s1-marks}. The independence hypotheses of~\cite[Lemma~14.2]{OAI78} are preserved. \item \cite[proof of Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}: the application of~\cite[Lemma~14.2]{OAI78} and the count of the frozen row parts. No reflection enters. \end{itemize} None of these changes alters a norm power, so every exponent is the same. The deductions in \cite[Section~14.4, \emph{Reflected block data}]{OAI78} use only the lemma and norm inequalities for the rows. \end{proof} \paragraph{The compensated completed row.} For the CM target $\psi=\overline\alpha\eta$, the completed row of the compensated probe (\cite[Section~15.1]{OAI78}, with the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight}) is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d144} B^{J,(2)}_{m,\varsigma}(Z)=\sum_{\substack{p_i\in\mathcal P_i(Z)\\i\notin J}}\prod_{i\notin J}a(p_i)\, W_i\Bigl(\frac{\N(p_i)}{P_i}\Bigr)\sum_{\theta\in\widehat T}a_\theta\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(4)} \bigl(Z\N(p_{J^c})\bigr)^t\,\Phi(t)\,\mathcal T^{(2)}_{p_{J^c}}\bigl(t+\tfrac12,\nu_\varsigma\theta\chi_\bullet(m)\bigr)\,dt, \end{equation} where $\Phi(t)=e^{t^2}$, $\varsigma\in T$ is a ray class (called $\sigma$ in~\cite{OAI78}), $\nu_\varsigma=\eta\,\Xi^{-1}\mathcal R(\cdot,s_\varsigma)$ is the finite-order character of~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78} built from the finite part $\eta$, $a(p)=\overline{\psi(p)}=\alpha(p)\overline{\eta(p)}$ is the slot normalization of Section~\ref{sec:78rows} (\cite{OAI78} has $\overline{\eta(p)}$), and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d145} \mathcal T^{(2)}_D(s_0,\nu')=\sum_{\substack{c\ {\rm sf}\\n}}\gamma_2(c)\,\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,2}\, \nu'(cn^3)\,\ind_{D\mid cn^3}\,\N(c)^{-s_0}\N(n)^{-3s_0+1/2}. \end{equation} \begin{lemma}[CM form of {\cite[Lemma~15.1]{OAI78}}]\label{lem:s1-probe-row-norm} With $d_J=\sum_{i\in J}\ell_i$ (called $d$ in~\cite[eq.~(15.1)]{OAI78}), and $M'$ and $Q=\N(b_*)X'Y'\asymp Z^{M'}$ as there, for every $\varepsilon>0$, every fixed rescaled subset $J$ and every ray class $\varsigma\in T$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d146} \sum_{0<\N(m)\ll Q}\bigl|B^{J,(2)}_{m,\varsigma}(Z)\bigr|^2\ll Z^{M'+((d_J-1/6)/4)_++\varepsilon}=Z^{M'+\varepsilon}, \end{equation} uniformly in the fixed rescaled tuple and with no loss depending on the mesh of the surviving slots. The same holds for any slot coefficients $a(p)$ with $|a(p)|\le1$ that are independent of the row and of the other slots. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The proof of~\cite[Lemma~15.1]{OAI78} applies verbatim. It uses the Gaussian annular decomposition~\cite[Lemma~4.6]{OAI78}, the smooth calculus~\cite[Lemma~4.5]{OAI78}, the row sectors~\cite[Lemma~5.2]{OAI78}, and the reflected energy, here Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy}; the remaining steps are exponent bookkeeping. The target enters in two places only. First, the completed factor is the CM marked completion~\eqref{eq:s1-marked-completion}, with an annular test at the length $N_*$; this is covered by Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy}. Second, the slot coefficients are required (\cite[proof of Lemma~15.1]{OAI78}) to be bounded, independent of the row and of the other slots, and of product form after separation. This holds for $\alpha(p)\overline{\eta(p)}$ as for $\overline{\eta(p)}$. The small-argument exponent $\frac14$ of the kernel, used at \cite[proof of Lemma~15.1]{OAI78}, is that of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-reflection}(e). \end{proof} With Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-probe-row-norm} in place of~\cite[Lemma~15.1]{OAI78}, the compensated low estimate $|I_{\rm mod}(Z)|\ll Z^{3/16+\varepsilon}$ follows as in~\cite[Prop.~15.3]{OAI78}, given the additive Gram bound, which does not involve the target. \paragraph{Numerical checks.} The new identities were tested. \begin{itemize} \item End to end, with an active prime: for the twist $\Psi_0=\overline{(\lambda/\cdot)_3}$ of Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}, $L=18$, a local prime $p$ of norm $7$ with $j_p=0,\dots,5$ (both primes of norm $7$), and two log-Schwartz tests without compact support, the log-Gaussian and $e^{-y-1/y}$ (with $\widehat V(t)=2K_t(2)$), $T_V(X;\Psi)$ computed from its definition equals both the ungrouped sum over the $252$ translates and the grouped formula~\eqref{eq:s1-reflection}. The relative error is at most $1.7\cdot10^{-12}$ and $5.2\cdot10^{-8}$ for the two tests; the cusps cover $\sigma\in\{0,+,-\}$ and $\N(c)\in\{1,4,7,28\}$. The combination $\overline{\kappa_F}\vartheta(\lambda^4\ell)$ extracted from each active translate is the same for all $h_p\ne0$ to $2.4\cdot10^{-12}$; this checks the multiplier and additive-phase bookkeeping. The marked formula of Proposition~\ref{prop:s1-marked} with $\mathcal Q=\{p\}$ holds to $8\cdot10^{-13}$. \item The local identities: the Fourier coefficients $C_{p,j}$, the local sums giving $\varpi_{p,j}B_p$ for every unit $c/p$, the cross-prime identity and the pair identity, at $15$ good primes (split and inert) and all $j$, to $10^{-13}$. \item The constant $-\frac1{81}((2\pi)^4/27)^{-t}$, the Stirling exponent $4\Re t$ of $R_2$, the line independence of $V^\sharp$ down to $\Re t=-1$, the small-$x$ expansion of $V^\sharp$ from the poles at $-\frac43,-\frac53$, and the bound~(e) for both tests on $10^{-8}\le x\le10^6$. \end{itemize} \section{Hecke \texorpdfstring{$L$}{L}-functions of infinity type \texorpdfstring{$\bar z/|z|$}{zbar/|z|}}\label{app:s2-hecke} This appendix proves Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}. It also proves the CM form of~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78}, the logarithmic control. Section~\ref{sec:s2-uses} lists every place where~\cite{OAI78} uses its growth lemmas, and the CM statement that replaces each. The only change is the gamma factor: $\Gamma(s+\frac12)$ in place of $\Gamma(s)$. Every exponent of the conductor and of the height used in~\cite{OAI78} stays the same, and no constant depends on the character. We write $\zeta_K(\sigma)=\zeta(\sigma)L(\sigma,\chi_{-3})$ for the Dedekind zeta function of $K$~\cite[Theorem~3]{QF}, $e(z)=\exp(4\pi i\operatorname{Im}z/\sqrt3)$ as in Section~\ref{sec:poisson}, and $\alpha(a)=a/|a|$ for every $a\ne0$. Since $|\psi(\mathfrak p)|\le1$ for every character below, we have $|L(s,\psi)|\le\zeta_K(\sigma)$ and $|L(s,\psi)^{-1}|\le\zeta_K(\sigma)$ for $\sigma=\Re s>1$. \subsection{The characters}\label{sec:s2-chars} Let $\mathfrak m$ be a nonzero ideal. Following Hecke~\cite{Hec20} (see~\cite[Ch.~VII, \S6]{Neukirch}), a \emph{character of modulus $\mathfrak m$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$} is a homomorphism $\psi$ from the group of fractional ideals prime to $\mathfrak m$ to the unit circle such that $\psi((a))=\overline{\alpha(a)}$ whenever $a=b/c$ with $b,c\in\OO$ prime to $\mathfrak m$ and $b\equiv c\pmod{\mathfrak m}$. Its conductor is the least modulus, for divisibility, from which it is induced, and it is primitive if its modulus is its conductor. Infinity type $z/|z|$ is defined in the same way with $\alpha(a)$ in place of $\overline{\alpha(a)}$; $\psi$ has infinity type $\bar z/|z|$ exactly when $\overline\psi$ has infinity type $z/|z|$. We write $\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}=\{\overline\psi: \psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\}$. \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-pres} \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] Let $\psi$ have modulus $\mathfrak m$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$. For $a\in\OO$ prime to $\mathfrak m$ put $\phi(a)=\psi((a))\alpha(a)$, and put $\phi(a)=0$ for the other $a\in\OO$. Then $\phi$ is a character of $(\OO/\mathfrak m)^\times$, extended by zero, with $\phi(\zeta)=\zeta$ for the six units $\zeta$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:s2-pres} \psi((a))=\phi(a)\,\overline{\alpha(a)}\qquad(a\in\OO\text{ prime to }\mathfrak m). \end{equation} Conversely, every character $\phi$ of $(\OO/\mathfrak m)^\times$ with $\phi(\zeta)=\zeta$ for all units defines by~\eqref{eq:s2-pres} a character of modulus $\mathfrak m$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$. \item[(ii)] $\psi$ is primitive modulo $\mathfrak m$ if and only if $\phi$ is primitive modulo $\mathfrak m$ in the sense of~\cite[Section~4.2]{QF}. The conductor of $\psi$ is never $(1)$. \item[(iii)] A character has infinity type $\bar z/|z|$ if and only if it agrees on primary elements with $\overline\alpha\eta$ for a finite-order Hecke character $\eta$. Thus $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ (Section~\ref{sec:78}) is the set of primitive characters of infinity type $\bar z/|z|$. The character $\overline\alpha$, that is $(n)\mapsto\overline{\alpha(n)}$ for primary $n$, has $\phi(a)=$ the unit congruent to $a$ modulo $3$, and conductor $(3)$. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (i) Let $a,b\in\OO$ be prime to $\mathfrak m$ with $a\equiv b\pmod{\mathfrak m}$. Then $\psi((a))/\psi((b))=\psi((a/b))=\overline{\alpha(a)}/\overline{\alpha(b)}$, that is, $\phi(a)=\phi(b)$. So $\phi$ is a function on $(\OO/\mathfrak m)^\times$. It is multiplicative because $\psi$ and $\alpha$ are, and $\phi(\zeta)=\psi((1))\alpha(\zeta)=\zeta$. Conversely, the right side of~\eqref{eq:s2-pres} does not change when $a$ is replaced by $\zeta a$, since $\phi(\zeta a)\overline{\alpha(\zeta a)}=\zeta\bar\zeta\,\phi(a)\overline{\alpha(a)}$. Every ideal of $\OO$ is principal, so~\eqref{eq:s2-pres} defines a character of the integral ideals prime to $\mathfrak m$, and hence of the fractional ones. If $b\equiv c\pmod{\mathfrak m}$, then $\phi(b)=\phi(c)$ and $\psi((b/c))=\overline{\alpha(b)}/\overline{\alpha(c)}=\overline{\alpha(b/c)}$. (ii) For a divisor $\mathfrak m'$ of $\mathfrak m$, $\psi$ is induced from modulus $\mathfrak m'$ exactly when $\psi((a))=\overline{\alpha(a)}$ for all $a\in\OO$ prime to $\mathfrak m$ with $a\equiv1\pmod{\mathfrak m'}$, that is, when $\phi$ is trivial on these classes. This is the definition of~\cite[Section~4.2]{QF}. If the conductor were $(1)$, $\phi$ would be a character of the trivial group, but $\phi(-1)=-1$. (iii) Every ideal $\mathfrak a$ prime to $3$ has a unique primary generator $n_{\mathfrak a}$, and products of primary elements are primary~\cite[Section~2.7]{QF}. If $a=b/c$ with $b,c\in\OO$ prime to $3\mathfrak m$ and $b\equiv c\pmod{3\mathfrak m}$, write $b=\zeta_bn_{(b)}$ and $c=\zeta_cn_{(c)}$ with units $\zeta_b,\zeta_c$. Since the six units are distinct modulo $3$, $b\equiv c\pmod3$ forces $\zeta_b=\zeta_c$, and then $n_{(b)}\equiv n_{(c)}\pmod{\mathfrak m}$. Let $\psi$ have modulus $\mathfrak m$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$, and put $\eta(\mathfrak a)=\psi(\mathfrak a)\alpha(n_{\mathfrak a})$ for $\mathfrak a$ prime to $3\mathfrak m$. By~\eqref{eq:s2-pres}, $\eta(\mathfrak a)=\phi(n_{\mathfrak a})$. So $\eta$ is multiplicative, takes values in roots of unity, and is trivial on $(b/c)$ when $b\equiv c\pmod{3\mathfrak m}$, by the previous paragraph. Hence $\eta$ is a finite-order ray class character modulo $3\mathfrak m$, and $\psi((n))=\overline{\alpha(n)}\eta((n))$ for primary $n$. Conversely, let $\eta$ be a ray class character modulo $\mathfrak m_0$, and put $\psi(\mathfrak a)=\overline{\alpha(n_{\mathfrak a})}\eta(\mathfrak a)$ for $\mathfrak a$ prime to $3\mathfrak m_0$. If $b\equiv c\pmod{3\mathfrak m_0}$, then $\zeta_b=\zeta_c$, so $\overline{\alpha(n_{(b)})}/\overline{\alpha(n_{(c)})}=\overline{\alpha(b/c)}$, and $\eta((b/c))=1$. So $\psi$ has modulus $3\mathfrak m_0$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$. For $\overline\alpha$: if $\zeta\equiv a\pmod3$ is a unit, then $n_{(a)}=\zeta^{-1}a$ and $\overline{\alpha(n_{(a)})}=\zeta\,\overline{\alpha(a)}$, so $\phi(a)=\zeta$, a character modulo $3$. It is not trivial on the classes $a\equiv1\pmod\lambda$, because $\omega\equiv1\pmod\lambda$ and $\phi(\omega)=\omega$. The only proper divisors of $(3)=(\lambda)^2$ are $(\lambda)$ and $(1)$, so the conductor is $(3)$. \end{proof} \subsection{Theta series and the functional equation}\label{sec:s2-fe} We follow Hecke's method~\cite{Hec20} (see~\cite[Ch.~VII, \S\S7--8]{Neukirch}). For $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ with conductor $\mathfrak f=(f)$, $Q=\N\mathfrak f=|f|^2$, and $\phi$ as in Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-pres}, put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d147} \Theta_\phi(v)=\sum_{a\in\OO}\phi(a)\,\bar a\,e^{-2\pi v\N(a)/\sqrt3}\quad(v>0),\qquad \gamma(\phi)=\frac1{\sqrt Q}\sum_{x\bmod f}\phi(x)\,e\Bigl(\frac xf\Bigr). \end{equation} The term $a=0$ vanishes. Since $\phi$ is primitive modulo $f$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-pres}(ii)), \cite[Lemma~17]{QF} gives $|\gamma(\phi)|=1$ and, for every $h\in\OO$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s2-gauss} \sum_{x\bmod f}\phi(x)\,e\Bigl(\frac{hx}f\Bigr)=\overline{\phi(h)}\,\sqrt Q\,\gamma(\phi). \end{equation} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-fe} Let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, with $f$, $Q$ and $\phi$ as above. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] For $v>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d148} \Theta_\phi(v)=-\frac{\gamma(\phi)}{f\sqrt Q}\,v^{-2}\,\overline{\Theta_\phi\bigl(1/(Qv)\bigr)} . \end{equation} \item[(ii)] For $\Re s>1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d149} \int_0^\infty\Theta_\phi(v)\,v^{s+1/2}\,\frac{dv}v =6\Bigl(\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt3}\Bigr)^{-s-1/2}\Gamma(s+\tfrac12)\,L(s,\psi), \end{equation} and the same holds with $\overline{\Theta_\phi}$ and $\overline\psi$ in place of $\Theta_\phi$ and $\psi$. \item[(iii)] The function $\Lambda(s,\psi)=(3Q)^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}\Gamma(s+\frac12)L(s,\psi)$ extends to an entire function that is bounded on every vertical strip of finite width, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d150} \Lambda(s,\psi)=W(\psi)\,\Lambda(1-s,\overline\psi),\qquad W(\psi)=-\frac{\gamma(\phi)\sqrt Q}{f},\qquad |W(\psi)|=1 . \end{equation} The same holds for $\overline\psi$, with $W(\overline\psi)=\overline{W(\psi)}$. \item[(iv)] $L(s,\psi)$ and $L(s,\overline\psi)$ are entire and have no zeros in $\Re s>1$. For each fixed $\psi$ and each bounded interval $J$, $|L(\sigma+it,\psi)|\ll_{\psi,J}e^{2|t|}$ for $\sigma\in J$, and likewise for $\overline\psi$. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (i) Fix $v>0$ and put $G(w)=\bar w\,e^{-2\pi v|w|^2/\sqrt3}$ and $\widehat G(\eta)=\int_{\mathbb C}G(w)e(-w\eta)\,dx\,dy$. We first compute $\widehat G$. By~\cite[Example~20]{QF}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d151} \int_{\mathbb C}e^{-2\pi v|w|^2/\sqrt3}\,e(-w\eta)\,dx\,dy=\frac{\sqrt3}{2v}\,e^{-2\pi|\eta|^2/(\sqrt3v)} . \end{equation} Since $\operatorname{Im}z=(z-\bar z)/(2i)$, we have $e(-w\eta)=\exp\bigl(-\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt3}(w\eta-\bar w\bar\eta)\bigr)$, so $\partial_{\bar\eta}e(-w\eta)=\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt3}\,\bar w\,e(-w\eta)$, where $\partial_{\bar\eta}$ is the Wirtinger derivative. Differentiating under the integral sign, which the Gaussian decay permits, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d152} \widehat G(\eta)=\frac{\sqrt3}{2\pi}\,\partial_{\bar\eta}\Bigl(\frac{\sqrt3}{2v}e^{-2\pi\eta\bar\eta/(\sqrt3v)}\Bigr) =-\frac{\sqrt3}{2v^2}\,\eta\,e^{-2\pi|\eta|^2/(\sqrt3v)} . \end{equation} Now split $a=t+fz$, with $t$ running over a set of representatives modulo $f$ and $z\in\OO$, so that $\Theta_\phi(v)=\sum_t\phi(t)\sum_{z\in\OO}G(t+fz)$. Poisson summation over $\OO$~\cite[Theorem~19]{QF} gives $\sum_zG(t+fz)=\frac2{\sqrt3}\sum_{y\in\OO}\widehat F_t(y)$ with $F_t(z)=G(t+fz)$. The substitution $w=t+fz$ has Jacobian $|f|^2=Q$, and $e(-zy)=e(ty/f)\,e(-wy/f)$, so $\widehat F_t(y)=Q^{-1}e(ty/f)\,\widehat G(y/f)$. Summing over $t$ and using~\eqref{eq:s2-gauss} with $h=y$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d153} \begin{split} \Theta_\phi(v)&=\frac2{\sqrt3\,Q}\sum_{y\in\OO}\overline{\phi(y)}\sqrt Q\,\gamma(\phi) \Bigl(-\frac{\sqrt3}{2v^2}\Bigr)\frac yf\,e^{-2\pi\N(y)/(\sqrt3Qv)}\\ &=-\frac{\gamma(\phi)}{f\sqrt Q}\,v^{-2}\sum_{y\in\OO}\overline{\phi(y)}\,y\,e^{-2\pi\N(y)/(\sqrt3Qv)} . \end{split} \end{equation} The last sum is $\overline{\Theta_\phi(1/(Qv))}$. (ii) For $\sigma>1$, $\sum_{a\ne0}|a|\int_0^\infty e^{-2\pi v\N(a)/\sqrt3}v^{\sigma+1/2}\,dv/v =6\,(2\pi/\sqrt3)^{-\sigma-1/2}\Gamma(\sigma+\frac12)\zeta_K(\sigma)<\infty$, because every nonzero ideal has six generators. So we may integrate termwise: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d154} \int_0^\infty\Theta_\phi(v)v^{s+1/2}\frac{dv}v =\Bigl(\frac{2\pi}{\sqrt3}\Bigr)^{-s-1/2}\Gamma(s+\tfrac12)\sum_{a\ne0}\phi(a)\,\bar a\,\N(a)^{-s-1/2}. \end{equation} Since $\bar a\,\N(a)^{-1/2}=\overline{\alpha(a)}$, the summand is $\psi((a))\N(a)^{-s}$ by~\eqref{eq:s2-pres}, and it vanishes unless $a$ is prime to $\mathfrak f$. Each ideal prime to $\mathfrak f$ has six generators, so the sum is $6L(s,\psi)$. For $\overline\psi$ use $\overline{\Theta_\phi(v)}=\sum_a\overline{\phi(a)}\,a\,e^{-2\pi v\N(a)/\sqrt3}$ and $\overline\psi((a))=\overline{\phi(a)}\alpha(a)$. (iii) Let $I_\psi(s)$ denote the left side of~(ii), and $I_{\overline\psi}(s)$ the same integral with $\overline{\Theta_\phi}$. Put $v_0=Q^{-1/2}$ and \begin{equation}\label{eq:d155} B(w)=\int_{v_0}^\infty\Theta_\phi(v)v^{w+1/2}\frac{dv}v,\qquad B^-(w)=\int_{v_0}^\infty\overline{\Theta_\phi(v)}\,v^{w+1/2}\frac{dv}v . \end{equation} Since $\N(a)\ge1$ for $a\ne0$, for $v\ge v_0$ we have $|\Theta_\phi(v)|\le e^{-\pi v/\sqrt3}\sum_{a\ne0}|a|e^{-\pi v_0\N(a)/\sqrt3}$. So $B$ and $B^-$ are entire and bounded on every vertical strip of finite width. For $\Re s>1$ split $I_\psi(s)$ at $v_0$, substitute $v=1/(Qu)$ in the integral over $(0,v_0)$, and use~(i): \begin{equation}\label{eq:d156} \int_0^{v_0}\Theta_\phi(v)v^{s+1/2}\frac{dv}v =-\frac{\gamma(\phi)}{f\sqrt Q}\int_0^{v_0}\overline{\Theta_\phi\bigl(1/(Qv)\bigr)}\,v^{s-3/2}\frac{dv}v =-\frac{\gamma(\phi)}{f\sqrt Q}\,Q^{3/2-s}B^-(1-s). \end{equation} With $W=-\gamma(\phi)\sqrt Q/f$ this gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:s2-split} Q^{s/2}I_\psi(s)=Q^{s/2}B(s)+W\,Q^{(1-s)/2}B^-(1-s). \end{equation} Conjugating~(i) gives $\overline{\Theta_\phi(v)}=-\frac{\overline{\gamma(\phi)}}{\bar f\sqrt Q}\,v^{-2}\Theta_\phi(1/(Qv))$, and the same computation gives $Q^{s/2}I_{\overline\psi}(s)=Q^{s/2}B^-(s)+\overline W\,Q^{(1-s)/2}B(1-s)$. Here $|W|=|\gamma(\phi)|=1$. By~(ii), $Q^{s/2}I_\psi(s)=\kappa\,\Lambda(s,\psi)$ and $Q^{s/2}I_{\overline\psi}(s)=\kappa\,\Lambda(s,\overline\psi)$, with $\kappa=6\cdot3^{1/4}(2\pi)^{-1/2}$, because $(2\pi/\sqrt3)^{-s-1/2}=3^{1/4}(2\pi)^{-1/2}\,3^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}$. The right sides of these two identities are entire and bounded on vertical strips of finite width, which gives the continuation. Replacing $s$ by $1-s$ in the second identity and multiplying by $W$ gives the first one, since $|W|^2=1$; that is, $\Lambda(s,\psi)=W\Lambda(1-s,\overline\psi)$. In the same way $\Lambda(s,\overline\psi)=\overline W\Lambda(1-s,\psi)$. (iv) $1/\Gamma$ and $(3Q)^{-s/2}(2\pi)^s$ are entire, so~(iii) shows that $L(s,\psi)$ is entire. The Euler product converges absolutely in $\Re s>1$, so there are no zeros there. On $\sigma\in J$, Stirling's formula gives $|1/\Gamma(s+\frac12)|\ll_J(1+|t|)^{c_J}e^{\pi|t|/2}\ll_Je^{2|t|}$, and $\Lambda$ is bounded there. The same argument applies to $\overline\psi$. \end{proof} The root number $W(\psi)$ is the number $\epsilon(\psi)$ of Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}. It does not depend on the choice of the generator $f$: replacing $f$ by $\zeta f$ multiplies $\gamma(\phi)$ by $\phi(\zeta)=\zeta$ (substitute $x=\zeta x'$). For $\overline\alpha$ ($f=3$) the six units represent $(\OO/3)^\times$, and $\sum_\zeta\zeta\,e(\zeta/3)=-3$, so $\gamma(\phi)=-1$ and $W(\overline\alpha)=1$. This agrees with the root number $+1$ of $y^2=x^3+16$, the curve $E_{16}$ of conductor $27$: since $4\cdot16=2^6$, its character $\psi_{16}^*$ of Section~\ref{sec:78} is $\overline\alpha$ on primary $n$ prime to $2$. \subsection{The gamma quotient and the strip bound}\label{sec:s2-strip} Put $G(\sigma,t)=|\Gamma(\frac32-\sigma-it)/\Gamma(\frac12+\sigma+it)|$. This is the gamma quotient in the functional equation: by Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iii), for $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\cup\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}$ with conductor norm $Q$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s2-fe-unc} L(s,\psi)=W(\psi)\Bigl(\frac{3Q}{(2\pi)^2}\Bigr)^{1/2-s}\frac{\Gamma(\frac32-s)}{\Gamma(\frac12+s)}\,L(1-s,\overline\psi). \end{equation} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-gamma} \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] For every compact $I\subset(-\frac12,\frac32)$, $G(\sigma,t)\asymp_I(3+|t|)^{1-2\sigma}$ for $\sigma\in I$ and $t\in\mathbb R$. \item[(b)] For every compact $I\subset(-\infty,\frac32)$, $G(\sigma,t)\ll_I(3+|t|)^{1-2\sigma}$ for $\sigma\in I$. Equivalently, since $G(1-\sigma,-t)=|\Gamma(\frac12+\sigma+it)/\Gamma(\frac32-\sigma-it)|$, for every compact $I\subset(-\frac12,\infty)$, $|\Gamma(\frac12+\sigma+it)/\Gamma(\frac32-\sigma-it)|\ll_I(3+|t|)^{2\sigma-1}$ for $\sigma\in I$. \end{enumerate} The exponent $1-2\sigma$ is that of $|\Gamma(1-\sigma-it)/\Gamma(\sigma+it)|$, the quotient of~\cite{OAI78} for finite-order characters. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Stirling's formula gives $|\Gamma(x+iy)|=\sqrt{2\pi}\,|y|^{x-1/2}e^{-\pi|y|/2}\bigl(1+O_K(|y|^{-1})\bigr)$ for $|y|\ge1$, uniformly for $x$ in a compact set $K\subset\mathbb R$. For $|t|$ larger than a constant depending on $I$, it gives $G(\sigma,t)=|t|^{(1-\sigma)-\sigma}(1+O_I(|t|^{-1}))$, since the factors $e^{-\pi|t|/2}$ cancel. In~(a) the real parts $\frac32-\sigma$ and $\frac12+\sigma$ lie in a compact subset of $(0,2)$, so $G$ is continuous and positive on $I\times[-T,T]$ for every $T$. In~(b) the real part $\frac32-\sigma$ is bounded below by a positive constant, so $\Gamma(\frac32-\sigma-it)$ is continuous on $I\times[-T,T]$, and $1/\Gamma$ is entire. \end{proof} \paragraph{Proof of Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}.} The first assertion is Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iii), with $\epsilon(\psi)=W(\psi)$. The last assertion follows from~\eqref{eq:s2-fe-unc} and Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-gamma}(a). For the strip bound, let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\cup\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}$. On $\sigma=\frac{11}{10}$, $|L(s,\psi)|\le\zeta_K(\frac{11}{10})$. On $\sigma=-\frac1{10}$,~\eqref{eq:s2-fe-unc} and Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-gamma}(a) give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d157} |L(-\tfrac1{10}+it,\psi)|=(3Q)^{3/5}(2\pi)^{-6/5}\,G(-\tfrac1{10},t)\,|L(\tfrac{11}{10}-it,\overline\psi)| \ll Q^{3/5}(3+|t|)^{6/5}. \end{equation} This is the left-line bound of~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78}, with the same exponents. The rest is the damped maximum principle of~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78}, which applies verbatim. Namely, $H(s)=Q^{-3/5}L(s,\psi)(s+2)^{-2}$ is holomorphic on the closed strip $-\frac1{10}\le\sigma\le\frac{11}{10}$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv)). It is bounded on both boundary lines by an absolute constant $C_0$, because $|s+2|^2\ge(\frac{19}{10})^2+t^2$. Inside the strip, $|H(s)|\ll_\psi e^{2|t|}$ by Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv). For $\delta>0$, $|e^{\delta(s-1/2)^2}|=e^{\delta((\sigma-1/2)^2-t^2)}$ is at most $e^{9\delta/25}$ in the strip and at most $e^{\delta(9/25-T^2)}$ at height $\pm T$, which beats $e^{2T}$. The maximum principle on the rectangles $|t|\le T$, with $T\to\infty$, gives $|H(s)e^{\delta(s-1/2)^2}|\le C_0e^{9\delta/25}$ in the strip. Letting $\delta\to0$ gives $|H|\le C_0$. Hence $|L(s,\psi)|\le C_0Q^{3/5}|s+2|^2\le(\frac{31}{30})^2C_0\,Q^{3/5}(3+|t|)^2$. \qed Numerically, $\zeta_K(\frac{11}{10})\approx6.6298$, and sampling the left-boundary gamma quotient gives a contribution about $0.446$ to $C_0$, compared with about $0.690$ on the right boundary. These are numerical observations, not certified supremum bounds; the proof uses only the existence of an absolute $C_0$ established above. \paragraph{Zeros.} \cite{OAI78} never counts zeros. Its detector~\cite[Lemma~8.1]{OAI78} uses only that the zeros of each $L(s,\psi^*)$ are discrete and lie in $\Re s\le1$~\cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}, which for CM characters is Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv). If a count is wanted, Jensen's formula~\cite{Jen99}, \cite[\S3.61]{Tit39} on the disks $|s-(2+it)|\le2.07$ and $2.1$, with $|L(2+it,\psi)|\ge\zeta_K(4)/\zeta_K(2)$ and the strip bound, shows that the number of zeros with $0\le\Re\rho\le1$ and $|\operatorname{Im}\rho-t|\le\frac12$ is $\ll\log(Q(3+|t|))$. This is the same bound as for finite order. \subsection{Logarithmic control}\label{sec:s2-log} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-logcontrol} Let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\cup\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}$ have conductor norm $Q$, and put $\mathcal L(s)=L(s,\psi)$. Fix $a\in[\frac12,1]$ and $00$, uniformly on the closed concentric disk of radius $2-a-6e$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d158} |\mathcal L(s)|+|\mathcal L(s)^{-1}|\ll_{e,\epsilon}\{2Q(3+|t|)^2\}^\epsilon, \end{equation} and on the closed disk of radius $2-a-8e$, $|\mathcal L'(s)/\mathcal L(s)|\ll_e\log\{2Q(3+|t|)^2\}$. The implied constants depend only on $e$ and $\epsilon$. In particular, for every fixed $b\ge\beta_*$ and $v>0$ these bounds hold on $\Re s\ge b+v$, with the height of $s$ in place of $t$ and constants depending only on $v$ and $\epsilon$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} This is~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} without its principal clauses, and its proof~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} applies word for word. That proof uses exactly the following four properties of $\mathcal L$. Everything else in it is complex analysis that does not involve the character: Borel--Carath\'eodory~\cite[\S5.5]{Tit39} between the radii $R_3$ and $R_4$, Hadamard's three circles~\cite[\S5.3]{Tit39} with inner radius $r_0=49/100$ and exponent $\theta=\log(R_6/r_0)/\log(R_4/r_0)<1$, uniformly in $a\in[\frac12,1]$, and Cauchy's estimate between $R_6$ and $R_8$, where $R_j=2-a-je$. \begin{enumerate} \item $\mathcal L$ is holomorphic on the disks used; they lie in $\Re s\ge a+2e>\frac12$. This holds by Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv). \item $\log|\mathcal L(s)|\ll\log\{2Q(3+|t|)^2\}$ on the disk of radius $R_3$. That disk lies in $a+3e\le\sigma\le\frac72$, at heights within $\frac32$ of $t$. Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth} gives $|\mathcal L(s)|\ll Q^{3/5}(3+|t|+\frac32)^2$ for $\sigma\le\frac{11}{10}$, and $|\mathcal L(s)|\le\zeta_K(\frac{11}{10})$ for $\sigma\ge\frac{11}{10}$. The constants are absolute, as in~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.9]{OAI78}. \item The Euler logarithm $\log\mathcal L(s)=\sum_{\mathfrak p}\sum_{k\ge1}\psi(\mathfrak p)^k/(k\N\mathfrak p^{ks})$ converges absolutely for $\Re s>1$, and $|\log\mathcal L(s)|\le\log\zeta_K(\sigma)$ because $|\psi(\mathfrak p)|=1$. It is therefore at most $\log\zeta_K(2)$ at the centre and at most $\log\zeta_K(\frac{151}{100})$ on the disk of radius $r_0$. \item For the global assertion with $\frac12\le b\le1$, take $a=b$ and $e<\min(10^{-3},v/8)$. The disk of radius $R_2$ about $2+it$ lies in $\Re s>b+2e>\beta_*$, so it contains no zero of $\mathcal L$, by the definition of $\beta_*$ in Section~\ref{sec:78}. For $\overline\psi$ note that $L(s,\overline\psi)=\overline{L(\bar s,\psi)}$. For $b>1$ the Euler product suffices. \end{enumerate} In particular the constants depend only on $e$, $\epsilon$, the absolute constant of Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}, and $\zeta_K(\frac{151}{100})$, and not on $\psi$. \end{proof} \paragraph{The whole row family.} For a finite-order character,~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} applies as it stands. Its global assertion needs $b$ at least the supremum~\cite[eq.~(2.1)]{OAI78} over finite-order characters. That supremum is at most $7/8$ by~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}. Hence, for the label sets $\mathcal X_u$ of Section~\ref{sec:78rows}, which contain finite-order and CM members, the global assertion holds for every fixed $b\ge\max(\beta_*,\frac78)$. This is $b\ge\beta_*$ under the contradiction hypothesis $\beta_*>\frac78$ of Section~\ref{sec:78final}, and under the hypothesis $\beta_*>\frac{11}{12}$ of statement~6 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}. So it is the same range as in~\cite{OAI78}. The deleted Euler factors of~\cite[Lemma~4.10]{OAI78} use only $|a_p|\le1$, so they are unchanged. \subsection{Conductors of the row characters}\label{sec:s2-cond} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-rowcond} Let $\psi_0$ be a primitive finite-order Hecke character with conductor $\mathfrak f_0$, and let $\psi^*$ be the primitive character inducing $\overline\alpha\psi_0$ (on primary $n$ prime to $3\mathfrak f_0$). Then $\psi^*\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, and its conductor divides $\operatorname{lcm}((3),\mathfrak f_0)$. In particular $Q_{\psi^*}\le9\,\N\mathfrak f_0$. Moreover $\psi^*$ and $\psi_0$ have the same conductor exponent at every prime other than $\lambda$. The same holds for $\alpha\psi_0$, with $\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}$ in place of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. Consequently, let $\theta\in\Theta_0$ and let $u$ be a sixth-power-free row that is not supported on $S$. Then the CM members $n\mapsto\overline{\alpha(n)}\theta(n)\overline{\chi_n(u)}$ and $n\mapsto\alpha(n)\theta(n)\chi_n(u)$ of $\mathcal X_u$ satisfy the conclusions of~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. That is, the primitive character $\psi^*$ inducing such a member satisfies \begin{equation}\label{eq:d159} Q_{\psi^*}\ll_{\mathcal A}\N(u),\qquad L_{\rm orig}(s)=L(s,\psi^*)\prod_{p\in E_u}\bigl(1-\psi^*(p)\N(p)^{-s}\bigr),\qquad E_u\subset S\cup\{p:p\mid u\}, \end{equation} where $L_{\rm orig}$ is the Dirichlet series of the zero-extended member. No CM member is principal. (In fact $E_u\subset S$, since every good prime dividing $u$ divides the conductor; see Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}.) \end{lemma} \begin{proof} By Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-pres}(iii), $\overline\alpha$ has conductor $(3)$. Put $\mathfrak m=\operatorname{lcm}((3),\mathfrak f_0)$. On ideals prime to $\mathfrak m$, the product $\overline\alpha\psi_0$ is a character of modulus $\mathfrak m$ and infinity type $\bar z/|z|$: if $b\equiv c\pmod{\mathfrak m}$, then $\overline\alpha((b/c))=\overline{\alpha(b/c)}$ and $\psi_0((b/c))=1$. So $\psi^*\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ and its conductor divides $\mathfrak m$, and $\N\mathfrak m\le9\N\mathfrak f_0$. Conversely $\psi_0$ is induced by $\alpha\psi^*$, and $\alpha$ has conductor $(3)$, so $\mathfrak f_0$ divides $\operatorname{lcm}((3),\mathfrak f(\psi^*))$. At a prime $\mathfrak p\ne(\lambda)$ the two divisibilities give $v_{\mathfrak p}(\mathfrak f(\psi^*))\le v_{\mathfrak p}(\mathfrak f_0)\le v_{\mathfrak p}(\mathfrak f(\psi^*))$. For $\alpha\psi_0$, conjugate: $\alpha\psi_0=\overline{\overline\alpha\,\overline{\psi_0}}$. For the rows, let $\psi_0$ be the primitive character inducing $\theta\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$. By Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(e) (which proves the bound that~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} uses without stating it), $\N\mathfrak f_0\ll_{\mathcal A}\N(u)$, and $\theta(n)\overline{\chi_n(u)}=\psi_0((n))$ for primary $n$ prime to $S$ and $u$. At such $n$ the CM member equals $\overline{\alpha(n)}\psi_0((n))=\psi^*((n))$, because $(\lambda)\in S$ and the primes of $\mathfrak f_0$ lie in $S\cup\{p:p\mid u\}$. So $L_{\rm orig}(s)$ is the Euler product of $\psi^*$ over the primes outside $S\cup\{p:p\mid u\}$. This gives the factorization, with $E_u$ the primes of $S\cup\{p:p\mid u\}$ that do not divide $\mathfrak f(\psi^*)$. A principal character has trivial infinity type, so no CM member is principal. The second member is the conjugate of a first one, since $\Theta_0$ is a group. \end{proof} \subsection{Reflection of a CM plain sum}\label{sec:s2-refl} For a character $\psi$ and a smooth function $W$ with compact support in $(0,\infty)$, put $T_\psi(X;W)=X^{-1/2}\sum_{\mathfrak a}\psi(\mathfrak a)W(\N\mathfrak a/X)$. The sum is over nonzero integral ideals, with $\psi(\mathfrak a)=0$ unless $\mathfrak a$ is prime to the conductor. We use the Mellin convention $\mathcal MW(s)=\int_0^\infty W(y)y^s\,dy/y$ of~\cite[Lemma~4.5]{OAI78}. The next lemma replaces the reflection step~\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78} of the plain fourth moment when the row character has infinite order. \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s2-reflection} Let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}\cup\overline{\mathcal F}_{\rm CM}$ have conductor norm $Q$ and root number $W(\psi)$, and put $C_\psi=3Q/(2\pi)^2$. For $X>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d160} T_\psi(X;W)=W(\psi)\,T_{\overline\psi}\bigl(C_\psi/X;W^\sharp\bigr),\qquad W^\sharp(y)=\frac1{2\pi i}\int_{(c)}\mathcal MW(1-u)\,\frac{\Gamma(u+\frac12)}{\Gamma(\frac32-u)}\,y^{-u}\,du , \end{equation} for any $c>-\frac12$. Thus $\mathcal MW^\sharp(u)=\mathcal MW(1-u)\Gamma(u+\frac12)/\Gamma(\frac32-u)$ on $\Re u>-\frac12$, in place of $\mathcal MW(1-u)\Gamma(u)/\Gamma(1-u)$ in~\cite{OAI78}. Moreover: \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] $W^\sharp$ is smooth on $(0,\infty)$. For all integers $j\ge0$ and all $A\ge0$, $(y\partial_y)^jW^\sharp(y)\ll\min(y^{1/2},y^{-A})$. The implied constant is at most a constant depending on $j$ and $A$ times finitely many integrals $\int_0^\infty y^{\sigma}|(y\partial_y)^kW(y)|\,dy/y$, with $\sigma$ in a compact set depending only on $j$ and $A$. \item[(b)] For $W_\omega(y)=W(y)y^{i\omega}$, the bounds in~(a) hold for $W_\omega^\sharp$ with an extra factor $(1+|\omega|)^{h}$, where $h$ depends only on $j$ and $A$. \end{enumerate} The new kernel is holomorphic on $\Re u>-\frac12$, so $W^\sharp(y)=\mathcal MW(\frac32)y^{1/2}+O(y^{3/2})$ has no constant term at $0$. In~\cite{OAI78}, $W^\sharp(0)=\mathcal MW(1)$. On $\Re u=c$ both kernels are $\ll_c(3+|t|)^{2c-1}$, by Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-gamma}(b) and its finite-order analogue. So the reflected lengths, the annular decomposition, the seminorm bounds and the height polynomials of~\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78} are unchanged. The only difference is that the annuli below the main scale now carry coefficients $O(2^{-j})$ in place of $O(2^{-j/2})$, which only helps. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Use the direct Poisson proof in Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-reflection}, which establishes the reflection for both infinity types, and Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-sharp} for its profile. Those proofs use the finite Gauss identity and the planar Fourier transform; they do not use the present lemma. For infinity type $\bar z/|z|$, the root number there is $-\gamma(\phi)\overline{\alpha(f)}=W(\psi)$ of Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}; the other type follows by conjugation. The conductor scale is $C_\psi=3\N(f)/(4\pi^2)$ in both formulas. Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-sharp}(a) gives the Mellin identity initially on $-\frac12<\Re u<\frac14$. Its decay bounds in~(c) make the Mellin transform holomorphic throughout $\Re u>-\frac12$, so the identity extends there. The rapid vertical decay of $\mathcal MW(1-u)$ permits inversion and contour shifts within this half-plane. The seminorm and norm-twist bounds in~(a)--(b) are exactly those proved in Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-sharp}(c). For clarity, the expansion at zero comes directly from $W^\sharp(y)=\int W(x)J_1(2\sqrt{xy})\,dx$ and $J_1(t)=t/2+O(t^3)$: compact support of $W$ gives $W^\sharp(y)=\mathcal MW(\frac32)y^{1/2}+O(y^{3/2})$. \end{proof} \subsection{Where these statements are used}\label{sec:s2-uses} Below we list the uses in~\cite{OAI78} of its Lemma~4.8 (equation~(4.14) there), of Lemmas~4.9 and~4.10, and of the primitive functional equation, each with the CM statement that replaces it; \cite{OAI78} uses no count of zeros. The characters that occur are of three kinds: the target; the denominators $\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ and the other CM members of $\mathcal X_u$; and finite-order characters (numerators, slot characters, and the finite-order members of $\mathcal X_u$). For the third kind,~\cite{OAI78} applies as it stands, with zero-free input $b\ge\frac78$ from~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}. \begin{enumerate} \item \emph{Buffered bins}~\cite[Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}. \begin{itemize} \item The maxima $M_j(u)$ exist (\cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}): Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv). No count of zeros is used. \item Disk control (\cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}): Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}, with $Q_{\psi^*}\ll_{\mathcal A}\N(u)$ from Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-rowcond} and $(3+|t|)^2\ll U^{1/50}$ as there. \item Reflected estimate (\cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}): \eqref{eq:s2-fe-unc} and Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-gamma}(a) on the line $\sigma=1-a-6e\in[-6e,\frac12-6e]$. The conductor and the gamma factor contribute $(3Q_{\psi^*})^{a-1/2+6e}(3+|t|)^{2a-1+12e}$, exactly as for finite order. The conjugate member lies in $\mathcal X_u$. \item Bin ceiling (\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}): $M_i(u)\le\max(\beta_*,\frac78)$, because the CM members have no zeros in $\Re s>\beta_*$ and the finite-order members none in $\Re s>\frac78$. \end{itemize} \item \emph{Pointwise dyadic estimates}~\cite[Lemma~8.2 and its proof]{OAI78}. The plain witness of a CM member is shifted to $1-a-6e$: $L(s,\psi^*)$ is entire (Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-fe}(iv)), and the joins use Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}. \item \emph{Witness construction}~\cite[Prop.~8.3 and its proof]{OAI78}. On $\Re z=-\frac14$ the argument $\rho+z$ has real part in $[0.26,0.75]$, and Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth} gives the same bound $Q_{\psi^*}^{3/5}(3+|\gamma+v|)^2$ as~\cite[eq.~(4.14)]{OAI78}. \item \emph{Contour moves of the high expansion}~\cite[Lemmas 10.3, 10.5 and 10.6]{OAI78}, \cite[proof of Lemma~10.3]{OAI78}, \cite[proof of Lemma~10.5]{OAI78}, \cite[proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}. These need the reciprocal of a CM denominator, or of the target, on $\Re s=\beta_*+20e$ or $\beta_*+e$. That is the global part of Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}, with Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-rowcond} and the deleted factors. The principal specialization (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}) is not needed, since no CM denominator is principal. The numerator bounds there, the exponent $3/5$ at \cite[proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78} included, concern finite-order numerators and are unchanged. \item \emph{Compensated probe}, \cite[Section~16.2]{OAI78} and \cite[proof of Proposition~16.1]{OAI78}. These use the buffered estimates of item~1 and the functional equation of the finite-order numerator. They are unchanged. \item \emph{Plain fourth moment}. The reflection \cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78} becomes Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-reflection} for rows $\alpha^e\tau\chi_\bullet(k)$. The conductor scale~\cite[eq.~(18.7)]{OAI78} keeps its proof, because by Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-rowcond} the CM conductor differs from that of $\tau\chi_\bullet(k)$ only at $\lambda\in S$. The prime estimate~\cite[eq.~(18.11)]{OAI78} concerns finite-order slot characters. It needs $s_\kappa\ge\frac78$, which allows $\kappa=\frac34$. \item \emph{Prime bound in a bin}~\cite[Lemma~19.1 and its proof]{OAI78}. Here $\mathcal L'/\mathcal L$ is taken for finite-order slot characters, inside disks that the CM bins of item~1 make zero-free for all of $\mathcal X_u$. \cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} applies as it stands. \end{enumerate} In every item the CM statement has the same conductor exponent and the same height exponent as the finite-order one, and its constants do not depend on the character. So the uniformity in the row and in the conductor required by~\cite{OAI78} holds as stated there. \section{The zero detector for a CM target}\label{app:s3-detector} This appendix writes out item~3 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}: the zero detector (a truncated-inverse detector; compare~\cite[Appendix~C]{MP24}) of~\cite[Section~8]{OAI78} for a target $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, with the label set $\mathcal X_u$ of Section~\ref{sec:78rows}. In~\cite{OAI78} the detector is used by the sextic row count~\cite[Prop.~9.2]{OAI78}, by the contour moves of the high side~\cite[Lemma~10.3]{OAI78}, by the dynamic local errors of the compensated probe~\cite[Section~16.2]{OAI78}, and by the Part~II row counts~\cite[Section~19]{OAI78}. We go through~\cite[Section~8]{OAI78} in order. Every step that involves a row character is restated and proved below; every other step is identical and is cited by line. Apart from~\cite{OAI78}, the inputs are Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth} and the logarithmic control of Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol} (item~2 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}, proved in Appendix~\ref{app:s2-hecke}). \subsection{Setting and the label set} \paragraph{Hecke characters.} As in~\cite[Ch.~VII, \S6]{Neukirch}, a Hecke character modulo an integral ideal $\mathfrak m$ is a character $\varphi$ of the group of fractional ideals prime to $\mathfrak m$ for which there are characters $\varphi_{\rm f}$ of $(\OO/\mathfrak m)^\times$ and $\varphi_\infty$ of $\mathbb C^\times$ with $\varphi((a))=\varphi_{\rm f}(a)\varphi_\infty(a)$ for every $a\in\OO$ prime to $\mathfrak m$. Here $\varphi_\infty$ is the infinity type. Such a $\varphi$ is induced by a unique primitive character $\varphi^*$: its conductor $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$ divides $\mathfrak m$, it agrees with $\varphi$ on ideals prime to $\mathfrak m$, and it is zero on primes dividing $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$. Put $Q_{\varphi^*}=\N\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$. The exponent of $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$ at a prime $\mathfrak p$ is the least $c\ge0$ such that $\varphi_{\rm f}(a)=1$ whenever $a\equiv1\pmod{\mathfrak p^c}$ and $a\equiv1$ modulo the part of $\mathfrak m$ prime to $\mathfrak p$. A finite-order character has trivial infinity type~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78}; the members of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ have $\varphi_\infty(z)=\bar z/|z|$. \paragraph{The target and the fixed data.} Fix $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, of conductor $\mathfrak f_\psi$. For primary $n$ prime to $\mathfrak f_\psi$ put $\eta(n)=\alpha(n)\psi((n))$. If $x\equiv1\pmod{{\rm lcm}(\mathfrak f_\psi,3)}$, then $x$ is primary and $\psi((x))=\bar x/|x|$, so $\eta(x)=1$. Thus $\eta$ is a ray class character modulo ${\rm lcm}(\mathfrak f_\psi,3)$, of finite order, and $\psi(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}\eta(n)$, as in Theorem~\ref{thm:78}. The arithmetic datum $\mathcal A$ is that of~\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78} for this $\eta$. It contains the finite group \begin{equation}\label{eq:d161} \Theta_0=\langle\eta,\widehat T\rangle \end{equation} of~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78} (written $\Theta$ there), and the finite set $S$ of~\cite[Section~6.1]{OAI78}. It contains the primes above $6$, the defining-modulus supports of $\eta$ and of the members of $\widehat T$, the primes dividing $\mathfrak f_\psi$, and every prime of norm at most $P_0$. The angular factor needs no new prime: on ideals prime to $3$, $(a)\mapsto\alpha(a')$, with $a'$ the primary generator, is the Hecke character modulo $3$ with $\alpha_\infty(z)=z/|z|$ and $\alpha_{\rm f}(a)=a'/a$. The datum depends on $\psi$, which~\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78} allows. A prime is \emph{good} if it is not in $S$. As in~\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}, the letters $n,l,k$ denote good primary elements, $p$ a good primary prime, and $q_n=\N(n)$. \paragraph{The zero ceiling.} Let $\beta_*^{(0)}$ be the supremum~\cite[eq.~(2.1)]{OAI78} over primitive finite-order characters, let $\beta_*$ be the supremum of Section~\ref{sec:78} over $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, and put \begin{equation}\label{eq:s3-beta} \beta^\sharp=\max\bigl(\beta_*,\beta_*^{(0)}\bigr). \end{equation} By~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}, $\beta_*^{(0)}\le7/8$. Hence $\beta^\sharp=\beta_*$ whenever $\beta_*\ge7/8$: under the contradiction hypothesis $\beta_*>7/8$ of Section~\ref{sec:78final}, and under $\beta_*>11/12$ in the $11/12$ stage. \paragraph{The label set.} Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d162} \Lambda=\bigl\{(\nu,\varsigma):\ \varsigma\in\{1,-1\},\ \nu\in\Theta_0\cup\alpha^{\varsigma}\Theta_0\bigr\}, \end{equation} a set of $4|\Theta_0|$ labels, independent of the row. For a nonzero sixth-power-free element $u$ and $(\nu,\varsigma)\in\Lambda$ define, on good primary $n$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d163} \varphi_{u,\nu,\varsigma}(n)=\nu(n)\chi_n(u)^{\varsigma}, \end{equation} with the zero convention of~\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}: $\chi_n(u)^{\pm1}=0$ when $(n,u)\ne1$. Let \begin{equation}\label{eq:d164} \mathcal X_u=\{\varphi_{u,\nu,\varsigma}:(\nu,\varsigma)\in\Lambda\}. \end{equation} A member is \emph{finite-order} if $\nu\in\Theta_0$, and \emph{CM} if $\nu\in\alpha^\varsigma\Theta_0$. The labels $(\theta,\pm1)$, $(\overline\alpha\theta,-1)$ and $(\alpha\theta,1)$ give the three kinds of character displayed in Section~\ref{sec:78rows}, so this is the set used there. Its finite-order members form the set $\mathcal X_u$ of~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} for the group $\Theta=\Theta_0$. In a CM member the angular factor and the residue symbol carry the same exponent $\varsigma$; these are the co-oriented characters of Section~\ref{sec:78rows}. For a member $\varphi$ and $\Re s>1$ put $L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)=\sum_n\varphi(n)q_n^{-s}$, the series of~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s3-labels} Let $u$ be a nonzero sixth-power-free element, and let $\varphi=\varphi_{u,\nu,\varsigma}\in\mathcal X_u$. \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] $(\bar\nu,-\varsigma)\in\Lambda$ and $\overline{\varphi_{u,\nu,\varsigma}}=\varphi_{u,\bar\nu,-\varsigma}$. So $\mathcal X_u$ is closed under conjugation. \item[(b)] $\mathcal X_u$ contains the numerator $\chi_\bullet(u)$ and its conjugate, the denominator $\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}=\varphi_{u,\overline\alpha\eta,-1}$ and its conjugate, and the slot characters $\theta\,\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$, $\theta\in\widehat T$. \item[(c)] $\varphi$ is completely multiplicative on good primary elements and $|\varphi(n)|\le1$. For $\Re s>1$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d165} L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)=\prod_p\bigl(1-\varphi(p)q_p^{-s}\bigr)^{-1},\qquad \frac1{L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)}=\sum_n\mu(n)\varphi(n)q_n^{-s}. \end{equation} \item[(d)] There is a unique primitive Hecke character $\varphi^*$ with $\varphi(n)=\varphi^*((n))$ for every good primary $n$ prime to $u$. If $\varphi$ is finite-order, so is $\varphi^*$. If $\varphi$ is CM, then $\varphi^*_\infty(z)=(z/|z|)^\varsigma$: for $\varsigma=-1$, $\varphi^*\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, and for $\varsigma=1$, $\overline{\varphi^*}\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. A CM $\varphi^*$ does not have finite order; in particular it is not principal, and $L(s,\varphi^*)$ is entire. \item[(e)] Let $u'$ be the product of the good primes dividing $u$. There is an ideal $\mathfrak m_{\mathcal A}$, supported on $S$ and depending only on $\mathcal A$, with $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}\mid\mathfrak m_{\mathcal A}u'$. Hence $Q_{\varphi^*}\le\N(\mathfrak m_{\mathcal A})\N(u)$. If $\varphi=\varphi_{u,\alpha^\varsigma\theta,\varsigma}$ is CM and $\varphi_0=\varphi_{u,\theta,\varsigma}$, then $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$ and $\mathfrak f_{\varphi_0^*}$ have the same exponent at every prime not above $3$, and $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}\mid{\rm lcm}(\mathfrak f_{\varphi_0^*},3)$; so $Q_{\varphi^*}\le9\,Q_{\varphi_0^*}$. \item[(f)] Every good prime $p\mid u$ divides $\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$, so $\varphi^*(p)=0$. Consequently \begin{equation}\label{eq:d166} L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)=L(s,\varphi^*)\prod_{\mathfrak p\in S}\bigl(1-\varphi^*(\mathfrak p)\N\mathfrak p^{-s}\bigr), \end{equation} which is the identity of~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} with $E_u\subset S$. If $u$ is not supported on $S$, then $\varphi^*$ is not principal. \item[(g)] If $L(\rho,\varphi^*)=0$ and $\Re\rho\ge1/2$, then $\Re\rho\le\min(1,\beta^\sharp)$; if $\varphi$ is CM, then $\Re\rho\le\min(1,\beta_*)$. \item[(h)] Let $\varphi$ be CM and $Q=Q_{\varphi^*}$. Then $\Lambda(s,\varphi^*)=(3Q)^{s/2}(2\pi)^{-s}\Gamma(s+\frac12)L(s,\varphi^*)$ satisfies $\Lambda(s,\varphi^*)=\epsilon(\varphi^*)\Lambda(1-s,\overline{\varphi^*})$ with $|\epsilon(\varphi^*)|=1$, and $|L(\sigma+it,\varphi^*)|\ll Q^{3/5}(3+|t|)^2$ for $-1/10\le\sigma\le11/10$. For $51/100\le a\le1$, $01$ on units, and $\theta$ is unramified at $p$; so $p\mid\mathfrak f_{\varphi_0^*}$, and by (e) also $p\mid\mathfrak f_{\varphi^*}$. Hence $\varphi^*(p)=0=\varphi(p)$. At good primes $p\nmid u$, $\varphi(p)=\varphi^*(p)$ by (d), and the primes of $S$ are absent from $L_{\rm orig}$. This gives the identity. If $u$ has a good prime factor, the conductor is not $(1)$, so $\varphi^*$ is not principal. (g) $|\varphi^*(\mathfrak p)|\le1$, so the Euler product converges absolutely in $\Re s>1$ and has no zeros there. If $\varphi$ is finite-order, $\varphi^*$ is a primitive finite-order character, and $\Re\rho\le\beta_*^{(0)}$ by~\cite[eq.~(2.1)]{OAI78} (which includes the principal character). If $\varphi$ is CM with $\varsigma=-1$, then $\varphi^*\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ and $\Re\rho\le\beta_*$. If $\varsigma=1$, then $L(\bar\rho,\overline{\varphi^*})=\overline{L(\rho,\varphi^*)}=0$ with $\overline{\varphi^*}\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, so again $\Re\rho\le\beta_*$. (h) For $\varsigma=-1$ the functional equation and the strip bound are Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}. For $\varsigma=1$ apply that lemma to $\overline{\varphi^*}\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$: conjugating $\Lambda(\bar s,\overline{\varphi^*})=\epsilon\,\Lambda(1-\bar s,\varphi^*)$ gives $\Lambda(s,\varphi^*)=\bar\epsilon\,\Lambda(1-s,\overline{\varphi^*})$, and $|L(\sigma+it,\varphi^*)|=|L(\sigma-it,\overline{\varphi^*})|$. The functional equation gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d168} L(s,\varphi^*)=\epsilon(\varphi^*)\,(3Q)^{1/2-s}(2\pi)^{2s-1}\, \frac{\Gamma(\frac32-s)}{\Gamma(\frac12+s)}\,L(1-s,\overline{\varphi^*}). \end{equation} At $s=1-a-6e+it$ we have $|(3Q)^{1/2-s}|=(3Q)^{a-1/2+6e}$ and $|(2\pi)^{2s-1}|=(2\pi)^{1-2a-12e}<1$. The gamma quotient is $\Gamma(x_1-it)/\Gamma(x_2+it)$ with $x_1=\frac12+a+6e\in[1.01,1.506]$ and $x_2=\frac32-a-6e\in[0.494,0.99]$. Stirling's formula, uniform for $x$ in a compact subset of $(0,\infty)$, gives $|\Gamma(x+iy)|\asymp(1+|y|)^{x-1/2}e^{-\pi|y|/2}$. So the quotient is $\ll(3+|t|)^{x_1-x_2}=(3+|t|)^{2a-1+12e}$. This proves~\eqref{eq:s3-reflected}. \end{proof} For finite-order characters the quotient in the same computation is $\Gamma(a+6e-it)/\Gamma(1-a-6e+it)$, which has the same exponent $2a-1+12e$. So~\eqref{eq:s3-reflected} is the CM form of the bound $Q^{a-1/2+6e}(3+|t|)^C$ of~\cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}, with the same exponent $C$ (one may take $C=2$, since $2a-1+12e<2$). Numerically the normalized quotient $|\Gamma(x_1-it)/\Gamma(x_2+it)|(3+|t|)^{-(2a-1+12e)}$ lies in $[0.16,1]$ on the whole range. \begin{lemma}[Logarithmic control for CM characters]\label{lem:s3-logcontrol} Let $\varphi^*$ be a primitive Hecke character with $\varphi^*\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ or $\overline{\varphi^*}\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, of conductor norm $Q$, and put $\mathcal L(s)=L(s,\varphi^*)$. Let $a\in[1/2,1]$ and $00$ these bounds hold on $\Re s\ge b+v$, with the height of $s$ in place of $t$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} This is Lemma~\ref{lem:s2-logcontrol}, applied to $\varphi^*$ or to its conjugate. The inputs it needs are that $L(s,\varphi^*)$ is entire (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(d)), the strip bound (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(h)), the bound $|\varphi^*(\mathfrak p)|\le1$, and, for the last assertion, the absence of zeros in $\Re s>\beta_*$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(g)). \end{proof} \subsection{The detector} \begin{proposition}\label{prop:s3-detector} Assume $\beta^\sharp>51/100$. Fix the datum $\mathcal A$ above and the parameters $d_{\min},d_{\max},d,U=Z^d,\tau,T_1=Z^\tau,e,I$ of~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. Remove the finitely many sixth-power-free rows supported on $S$, as in~\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}. In~\cite[Section~8]{OAI78} replace the set $\mathcal X_u$ by the set $\mathcal X_u$ above, the characters $\psi^*$ by $\varphi^*$, the label set $\Theta\times\{-1,1\}$ by $\Lambda$, and $\beta_*$ by $\beta^\sharp$. Then, for every retained row $u$ with $\N(u)\asymp U$: \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] \cite[Lemma~8.1]{OAI78} holds, with constants depending only on $\mathcal A$, $e$ and $\epsilon_1$; \item[(ii)] every bin satisfies $a\le\beta^\sharp$ and $\delta=2a-1\le2\beta^\sharp-1$; \item[(iii)] \cite[Lemma~8.2]{OAI78} holds for every $\varphi\in\mathcal X_u$; \item[(iv)] \cite[Prop.~8.3]{OAI78} holds, the two witnesses using one presentation $\varphi_{u,\nu,\varsigma}$ whose label $(\nu,\varsigma)$ lies in $\Lambda$. For a CM label $\nu=\alpha^\varsigma\theta$ they are \begin{equation}\label{eq:d200}\begin{aligned} M_r&=U^{-r/2}\sum_n\mu(n)\alpha(n)^\varsigma\theta(n)\chi_n(u)^\varsigma W_M\Bigl(\frac{q_n}{U^r}\Bigr),\\ S_m&=U^{-m/2}\sum_l\alpha(l)^\varsigma\theta(l)\chi_l(u)^\varsigma W_S\Bigl(\frac{q_l}{U^m}\Bigr), \end{aligned}\end{equation} with the profiles $W_M,W_S$ of~\cite[proof of Proposition~8.3]{OAI78}. \end{enumerate} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} We list every place in~\cite[Section~8]{OAI78} where a property of a row character is used. The other steps concern the bin parameters, the Mellin and Fourier calculus of the profiles (\cite[Lemma~4.5, eqs.~(4.11) and~(4.10)]{OAI78}), or the dyadic partitions, and hold verbatim. \emph{Setting, \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}.} The group $\Theta$ of \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} is $\Theta_0$; its conductor primes lie in $S$ by the choice of $S$. Closure under conjugation and the list of members (\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}) are Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(a),(b); \cite{OAI78} used the group property of $\Theta$, which $\Lambda$ replaces. The conductor bound and the deletion identity (\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}) are Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(e),(f), now with $E_u\subset S$ and a deletion radical of norm at most $\prod_{\mathfrak p\in S}\N\mathfrak p$. The ramification argument (\cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}) applies verbatim to the finite-order members; the CM members are never principal (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(d)). The rows supported on $S$ are still removed, because a finite-order member of such a row can be principal. \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78} involve no character. \emph{(i), proof at \cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}.} \begin{itemize} \item \cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}, existence of the maxima $M_j(u)$: $\mathcal X_u$ is finite; for a retained row every $\varphi^*$ is nonprincipal (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(d),(f)), so $L(s,\varphi^*)$ is entire (for finite-order members by~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78}) and its zeros are discrete; there are none in $\Re s>1$ by Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(g). \item \cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}: the pigeonhole choice of $(i,a)$ and the zero-free disks involve no character. \item \cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}: for finite-order members~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78}, for CM members Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-logcontrol}; in both, $Q_{\varphi^*}\ll_{\mathcal A}U$ by Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(e). The deleted factors are bounded by~\cite[Lemma~4.10]{OAI78}, which uses only $|\varphi^*(\mathfrak p)|\le1$; by Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(f) the deletion is over the fixed set $S$. \item \cite[proof of Lemma~8.1]{OAI78}, the reflected line: the functional equation recalled in~\cite[proof of Lemma~4.8]{OAI78} is replaced, for CM members, by~\eqref{eq:s3-reflected}. The conjugate presentation lies in $\mathcal X_u$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(a)), so the reflected primitive value $L(a+6e-it,\overline{\varphi^*})$ is $\ll U^{\epsilon_1/3}$ by the disk bound just proved. The deleted product at $\Re s=1-a-6e\ge-6e$ is $O_{\mathcal A}(1)$. With $(3Q)^{a-1/2+6e}\ll_{\mathcal A}U^{a-1/2+6e}$ and $(3+|t|)^{2a-1+12e}\le(3+(3i+2)T_1)^2$ this gives the stated $U^{a-1/2+12e+\epsilon_1}(3+T_1)^C$. \end{itemize} \emph{(ii), replacing \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}.} The sentence ``Every primitive character inducing a presentation in $\mathcal X_u$ is a finite-order Hecke character'' is false for CM targets. Instead, Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(g) gives $M_i(u)\le\beta^\sharp$ for every retained row, hence $a\le M_i(u)\le\beta^\sharp$. \emph{(iii), proof at \cite[proof of Lemma~8.2]{OAI78}.} The Mellin identity of \cite[proof of Lemma~8.2]{OAI78} is the second identity of Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(c). The shifted central portion and its joins lie in the rectangle of (i). On $\Re(s+\sigma)=2$ the reciprocal Euler product is bounded by $\zeta_K(2)$, since $|\varphi|\le1$. For $S_m$, the continuation to $\Re(s+\sigma)=1-a-6e$ uses that $L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)$ is entire (Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(d),(f)); its joins use the strip bound of Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(h) (for finite-order members~\cite[eq.~(4.14)]{OAI78}) and the bounded deleted product over $S$; the reflected estimate is (i). \emph{(iv), proof at \cite[proof of Proposition~8.3]{OAI78}.} \cite[proof of Proposition~8.3]{OAI78}: $L_{\rm orig}(s,\varphi)$ is entire. \cite[proof of Proposition~8.3]{OAI78}: on $\Re(\rho+z)=\sigma-1/4\in[26/100,3/4]$ the strip bound of Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(h) gives $|L(\rho+z,\varphi^*)|\ll Q^{3/5}(3+|\gamma+v|)^2$ with $Q^{3/5}\ll_{\mathcal A}U^{3/5}\le U^2$, and the deleted product over $S$ is bounded; the exponent $-3+t(5/4-\sigma)\le-189/100$ is unchanged. \cite[proof of Proposition~8.3]{OAI78}: the double sum for $J$ and the vanishing of the coefficients with $17/8$ one has $\beta^\sharp=\beta_*$, so Proposition~\ref{prop:s3-detector}(ii) is the bin ceiling of Lemma~\ref{lem:r3-ceiling}. The mean-value estimates that consume the CM witnesses in Part~II are items~4 and~5; the sextic count was treated above. We checked numerically: \begin{itemize} \item the conductors of $180$ pairs of members (a finite-order member $\varphi_0$ and its CM partner $\varphi$, both $\varsigma$), for $15$ rows with valuations $1$--$5$, units and factors at $2$ and $\lambda$: exponent $1$ at every good prime of $u$, at most $3$ at $2$, at most $4$ at $\lambda$, and $Q_{\varphi^*}\le9Q_{\varphi_0^*}$, with equality of exponents away from $\lambda$. In $7$ cases the CM member is unramified at $\lambda$; \item the infinity type $(z/|z|)^\varsigma$ of every CM member; \item the functional equation of Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(h), through PARI's~\cite{PARI} \texttt{lfuncheckfeq}, for $8$ CM members with conductor norms from $28$ to $117936$ (agreement to $2^{-49}$ or better), and the deletion identity of (f); \item closure under conjugation, membership, complete multiplicativity and the truncated-inverse coefficients of (iv), on a model group $\Theta_0$ of order $216$; \item the gamma quotient in~\eqref{eq:s3-reflected} on a grid with $|t|\le10^{12}$. \end{itemize} \section{The inverse moment for co-oriented coefficients}\label{sec:s4-inverse} This appendix writes out item~4 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}: the CM form~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse} of \cite[Lemma~17.1]{OAI78}, together with the CM form of the canonical estimate \cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78} through which it is proved. In~\cite{OAI78} the proof occupies \cite[Section~17]{OAI78}, and the amplification on sixth-power-free rows \cite[Section~17.7]{OAI78}. We follow it step by step. The angular factor enters only as a completely multiplicative unimodular factor on the column variables (Lemma~\ref{lem:s4-transfer}). We display every formula in which it appears and cite the others by number. The terminal step needs the CM form of the reflected energy \cite[Lemma~14.3]{OAI78}. This is Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy} of Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general}; we record the form in which it is used as Statement~(R) below. \subsection{Notation and statements}\label{sec:s4-statements} We use the conventions of~\cite[Section~4]{OAI78}, which are those of Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm} (``Normalizations''). In particular $S$ is a fixed finite set of primes containing those above $6$ and the support of the defining modulus of every fixed finite-order character; ideal variables are represented by their primary generators and lie outside $S$; every power of a residue symbol is zero on nonunits, so that $\chi_c(a)^0=\ind_{(a,c)=1}$; $\gamma_j$ is the normalized Gauss sum of~\eqref{eq:gauss}; and $G(c)=\overline{\chi_c(4)}\Gamma(c)$ is the finite-ray function of~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI78}, equal to $\overline{\chi_c(4)}\gamma_3(c)$ for squarefree $c$. As there, $\mu$ is the M\"obius function and ``sf'' means squarefree. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d170} \varphi(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)} . \end{equation} The product of primary generators is the primary generator of the product, so $\varphi$ is completely multiplicative on primary elements, and $|\varphi|=1$. Fix a finite-order ray character $\nu$ whose zero-extended defining modulus has prime support in $S$, and a sign $\epsilon\in\{1,-1\}$. Put $\psi_u(n)=\nu(n)\chi_n(u)^{\epsilon}$, with all zero extensions. For a smooth annular $W$ (supported in a fixed compact subinterval of $(0,\infty)$) put \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-M} M_u(Z^r;W)=Z^{-r/2}\sum_n\mu(n)\,\alpha(n)^{\epsilon}\psi_u(n)\,W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}{Z^r}\Bigr). \end{equation} The angular factor $\alpha^\epsilon$ is paired with $\chi_\bullet(u)^\epsilon$: the sum is co-oriented in the sense of Section~\ref{sec:78rows}. For a finite set $I$ of slots, disjoint sets $\mathcal P_i$ of primes outside $S$ with $\N(p)\asymp Z^{z_i}$ for $p\in\mathcal P_i$, coefficients $a_i(p)$ independent of $u$ with $|a_i(p)|\le1$, and smooth annular $W_i$, put, exactly as in~\cite[Section~17.1]{OAI78}, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d171} Q_u=\prod_{i\in I}Z^{-z_i/2}\sum_{p\in\mathcal P_i}a_i(p)\psi_u(p)W_i\Bigl(\frac{\N(p)}{Z^{z_i}}\Bigr), \qquad z=\sum_{i\in I}z_i . \end{equation} The slots carry no angular factor; a factor $\alpha(p)^\epsilon$ could be absorbed into $a_i(p)$. \begin{proposition}[CM marked inverse moment]\label{prop:s4-marked} Fix bounded ranges for the nonnegative parameters $m,r,z_i$, a bound for $|I|$, and positive constants $c_1,c_2$, and suppose \begin{equation}\label{eq:d172} r+2z\le m-c_1,\qquad 2r+8z\le3m-c_2 . \end{equation} Then, for every $\varepsilon>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-marked} \sum_{\substack{u\in\OO\\0<\N(u)\ll Z^m}}|M_u(Z^r;W)Q_u|^2\ll Z^{m+\varepsilon}. \end{equation} The uniformity is that of~\cite[Lemma~17.1]{OAI78}: the implied constant depends on the fixed arithmetic data, $c_1,c_2$, the parameter ranges and finitely many smooth seminorms of the tests, and is uniform in the prime supports and their bounded coefficients; the estimate holds for both signs $\epsilon$, and for every subcollection of the slots; norm twists of the tests cost a fixed power of their heights; there is no lower bound or mesh condition on the slot lengths. A fixed finite sum of whole products $M_uQ_u$ is allowed, provided each summand uses one $\nu$ and one $\epsilon$ in its inverse polynomial and all its slots (\cite[Section~17.1]{OAI78}). \end{proposition} This is~\eqref{eq:cm-inverse}. It is the form in which~\cite{OAI78} uses its lemma for a witness row (\cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78}): a CM witness of Section~\ref{sec:78rows} is co-oriented, and after conjugation, if necessary, it has $\epsilon=-1$, $\nu=\theta\in\Theta_0$, and slot coefficients $a_i(p)=\overline{\nu(p)}\ind_{p\in 1_T}$ times a profile, which are bounded and independent of $u$. \paragraph{The canonical family.} Let $f$ range over squarefree ideals outside $S$ with $\N(f)\asymp Z^V$, with a divisor-bounded weight $w(f)$ depending on $f$ alone; let $\rho(n)=\ind_{(n,\mathfrak r_\rho)=1}$ be a fixed puncture; and let $\mathfrak d$ be a mark of the product form~\cite[eq.~(14.1)]{OAI78}, with disjoint fixed prime lists of total nominal length at most $z_0$ and bounded coefficients independent of $k,f$. For squarefree $n$ outside $S$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-a} a(n)=\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\nu(n)\rho(n)=\varphi(n)\cdot\overline{\alpha(n)}\gamma_2(n)\nu(n)\rho(n), \end{equation} which is $\varphi$ times the coefficient of~\cite[eq.~(17.3)]{OAI78}, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-E} \mathcal E=Z^{-V}\sum_fw(f)\sum_{\substack{k\in\OO\\0<\N(k)\ll Z^M}} \Bigl|Z^{-N/2}\ssum_n a(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4\mathfrak d(n)W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}{Z^N}\Bigr)\Bigr|^2. \end{equation} Without the puncture, the mark and the weight $w$, this is the average~\eqref{eq:energy} of Part~I, with $a_\xi=\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\xi$. \begin{lemma}[CM canonical estimate]\label{lem:s4-canonical} Under the hypotheses of~\cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78}, with the coefficient~\eqref{eq:s4-a} in place of $\overline\alpha\gamma_2\nu\rho$ (and no other residual coefficient, as required there), in particular the inequalities~\cite[eq.~(17.2)]{OAI78} with $F_0=N+V$, one has $\mathcal E\ll Z^{F_0+\varepsilon}$ for every $\varepsilon>0$, with the uniformity stated there (\cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78}). \end{lemma} \paragraph{The completed sums and Statement~(R).} Put $\Psi_k(n)=\nu(n)\rho(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4$, as in~\cite[Section~14.1]{OAI78}; it is completely multiplicative on primary ideals outside $S$. Put $V_*(y)=y^{1/2}W(y)$. The CM form of the completed marked sum~\cite[eq.~(14.2)]{OAI78} is \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-T} \mathcal T_{\mathfrak d}(X;k)=\sum_{\substack{n\ {\rm sf}\\b}} \frac{\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\Psi_k(n)\,\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(b)^3}{\sqrt{\N(n)}\,\N(b)}\, \mathfrak d(nb^3)\,V_*\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)\N(b)^3}X\Bigr), \end{equation} over primary $n,b$ outside $S$, which may share primes. Its angular factor $\overline{\alpha(nb^3)}^{\,2}$ is that of the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight} and of~\eqref{eq:T}; this is the completed sum of $\partial_{\bar z}^{\,2}\theta$ (Section~\ref{sec:theta}, Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}). \smallskip\noindent\emph{Statement~{\rm(R)}.} \cite[Lemma~14.3 and its proof]{OAI78}, with its block data (\cite[Section~14.4, \emph{Reflected block data}]{OAI78}) and the norm inequalities~\cite[eqs.~(5.35) and~(14.17)]{OAI78}, holds for~\eqref{eq:s4-T} in place of~\cite[eq.~(14.2)]{OAI78}: with the same retention rule~\cite[eq.~(14.11)]{OAI78}, the same exponent $E_{\rm ref}$ of~\cite[eq.~(14.14)]{OAI78}, the same constants $C_{\rm res},C_{\rm width},C_{\rm ker}$, and the same uniformity. \smallskip Statement~(R) is Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-reflected-energy}: the sum~\eqref{eq:s4-T} is~\eqref{eq:s1-marked-completion}, and that lemma is proved in Appendix~\ref{app:s1-general} from the CM transformation formula at full generality (Propositions~\ref{prop:s1-reflection} and~\ref{prop:s1-marked}: general $S$, marks and punctures, log-Schwartz tests), with the same retention rule, exponent, constants and uniformity. In that formula the dual coefficient is $d_\sigma(\ell)\alpha(\ell)^2$, with the support and the bound $|d_\sigma(u\lambda^mnb^3)|\le27\cdot3^{m/6}|b|$ of~\cite[eq.~(5.2)]{OAI78}; the scalar differs from that of~\cite{OAI78} by the unimodular factor $-i\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,2}$, so their moduli are equal and at most $1/81$; the local factors $B_{\pi,j}$ are those of~\cite{OAI78}; and the weight obeys the same bounds as in~\cite{OAI78}. \subsection{The angular factor as a column twist}\label{sec:s4-twist} \begin{lemma}[Switching identities]\label{lem:s4-switch} Let $u$ be squarefree, primary and outside $S$. Then \begin{align} \overline{\alpha(u)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(u)\,\gamma_1(u)&=\mu(u)\overline{\alpha(u)}\,G(u),\label{eq:s4-S1}\\ \overline{\overline{\alpha(u)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(u)}\,\gamma_{-1}(u) &=\overline{\mu(u)\overline{\alpha(u)}\,\chi_u(-1)G(u)},\label{eq:s4-S2}\\ \mu(u)\overline{\alpha(u)}\,\gamma_{-1}(u)&=\overline{\alpha(u)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(u)\,\chi_u(-1)\overline{G(u)}, \label{eq:s4-S3}\\ \overline{\mu(u)\overline{\alpha(u)}}\,\gamma_1(u)&=\overline{\overline{\alpha(u)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(u)}\,G(u), \label{eq:s4-S4}\\ \mu(u)\alpha(u)\,\gamma_{-1}(u)&=\gamma_2(u)\,\chi_u(-1)\overline{G(u)}.\label{eq:s4-S5} \end{align} Moreover, for every multiplicative $\nu'$ of modulus one outside $S$, the coefficient $a'=\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\nu'$ satisfies $|a'(u)|=1$ and $a'(vw)=a'(v)a'(w)\chi_w(v)^4$ for coprime squarefree primary $v,w$ outside $S$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} By~\cite[eq.~(4.7)]{OAI78}, which is~\eqref{eq:b2-g1g2}, $\gamma_1\gamma_2=\mu\alpha G$. By \cite[Lemma~4.2]{OAI78} and the Chinese remainder theorem (\cite[proof of Lemma~4.4]{OAI78}), $|\gamma_j(u)|=1$ for $6\nmid j$; also $|\alpha|=|G|=1$ and $\mu(u)^2=1$. Hence $\gamma_1=\mu\alpha G\,\overline{\gamma_2}$. The substitution $v\mapsto-v$ in the Gauss sum gives $\overline{\gamma_1(u)}=\chi_u(-1)\gamma_{-1}(u)$, with $\chi_u(-1)=\pm1$. Now~\eqref{eq:s4-S1} is $\gamma_1\gamma_2=\mu\alpha G$ multiplied by $\overline\alpha^{\,2}$. For~\eqref{eq:s4-S3}, $\mu\overline\alpha\gamma_{-1}=\mu\overline\alpha\chi(-1)\overline{\gamma_1} =\mu^2\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\chi(-1)\overline G$. The identities~\eqref{eq:s4-S2} and~\eqref{eq:s4-S4} are the complex conjugates of~\eqref{eq:s4-S1} and~\eqref{eq:s4-S3}, rewritten with $\overline{\gamma_{\pm1}}=\chi(-1)\gamma_{\mp1}$: for instance $\overline{\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2}\gamma_{-1}=\chi(-1)\overline{\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2\gamma_1} =\chi(-1)\overline{\mu\overline\alpha G}$. Finally~\eqref{eq:s4-S5} is~\eqref{eq:gauss} multiplied by $\alpha$. The last assertion is~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} with $\xi$ replaced by $\nu'$: it follows from $\gamma_2(vw)=\gamma_2(v)\gamma_2(w)\chi_w(v)^4$~\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2, \emph{The first Poisson transformation}]{OAI78} and the complete multiplicativity of $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\nu'$. \end{proof} Identities~\eqref{eq:s4-S1}--\eqref{eq:s4-S4} are~\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2, \emph{The first Poisson transformation}, \emph{The second Poisson transformation}]{OAI78} multiplied by $\varphi(u)$ on the first side of a square and by $\overline{\varphi(u)}$ on the second. The first two switch the cubic class $\overline\alpha^{\,2}\gamma_2$ to the M\"obius class $\mu\overline\alpha$; the last two switch back. They are~\eqref{eq:signal-cm} and its companion in Section~\ref{sec:78moments}, multiplied by $\overline{\alpha(u)}$; in paired form they are~\eqref{eq:b2-reverse} and~\eqref{eq:b2-forward}. By~\eqref{eq:s4-S5} the anti-oriented coefficient $\mu\alpha$ loses its angular factor. \begin{lemma}[Column twist]\label{lem:s4-transfer} Let $\sum_{\tau}L(\tau)=\sum_{\sigma}R(\sigma)$ be an identity of absolutely convergent sums. Suppose that there are a map $\lambda$ from both index sets to a set $\Lambda$ and a map $\Lambda\to\OO^2$, $\lambda\mapsto(n_1(\lambda),n_2(\lambda))$, into pairs of primary elements outside $S$, such that the identity holds separately on each fibre of $\lambda$. Then for every bounded function $\varphi$ on primary elements, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d173} \sum_\tau\varphi(n_1)\overline{\varphi(n_2)}\,L(\tau)=\sum_\sigma\varphi(n_1)\overline{\varphi(n_2)}\,R(\sigma), \end{equation} where $n_a=n_a(\lambda(\tau))$, respectively $n_a(\lambda(\sigma))$. If $\varphi$ is completely multiplicative and $n_a(\lambda(\sigma))=e_a(\sigma)x_a(\sigma)$, then the twist on the right is $\varphi(e_1)\overline{\varphi(e_2)}\cdot\varphi(x_1)\overline{\varphi(x_2)}$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The twist is constant on each fibre and bounded. Multiply the fibrewise identities by it and sum over $\Lambda$; the weighted sums remain absolutely convergent, so regrouping is permitted. The same conclusion holds for an unbounded $\varphi$ if absolute convergence of both weighted sums is assumed separately. \end{proof} We apply this lemma with $\varphi=\overline\alpha$, $\lambda$ the column data of the squared polynomial on the left, and $(n_1,n_2)$ its two column indices (the index of the conjugated copy second). The identities of~\cite{OAI78} to which we apply it have the fibrewise property. In each of the three Poisson transformations, \cite{OAI78} expands the square, fixes the column data, and applies~\cite[Lemma~17.5]{OAI78} to the row sum, whose coefficient is constant on that fibre. The later exact steps rewrite the terms of one fibre. These are the factorizations by greatest common divisors; the M\"obius expansion of a coprimality condition together with its formal extension, which for fixed $(u_1,u_2)$ is $\sum_{t\mid(u_1,u_2)}\mu(t)=\ind_{(u_1,u_2)=1}$; the slot-priority identity~\cite[eq.~(17.16)]{OAI78}; the extraction identities; and Fourier inversion of a joint profile evaluated at the norms of the indices. All of them are pointwise in the column data. Every other step of the three transformations is an inequality. These use the coefficients only through their absolute values: the triangle inequality, the weighted Cauchy inequality~\cite[eq.~(D)]{OAI78}, the discarded raw tails and the principal terms, which are bounded by lattice counts with absolute coefficients. The remaining inequalities are positive row norms of the new polynomials. A unimodular twist therefore changes nothing in them, once it has been placed in the new polynomials and in outer weights of the same absolute value. \subsection{Proof of Lemma~\ref{lem:s4-canonical}}\label{sec:s4-canonical-proof} We follow the proof of~\cite[Lemma~17.2]{OAI78}. The following parts do not involve the column coefficients and apply verbatim: \begin{itemize} \item the induction on the depth, with the margins $c_h$ and the parameters $d,D,\eta,\tau,\pi$ (\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2]{OAI78}); \item the propagation of seminorm and height orders, \cite[Lemma~17.3, Cor.~17.4]{OAI78} and the normalization rules (\cite[Section~17.3]{OAI78}), which concern profiles and coefficient measures; \item the localization conventions, the joint Fourier calculus and the raw tail estimate (\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2, \emph{The two-transform reduction}]{OAI78}), which concern norms, profiles and lattice counts; \item \cite[Lemma~17.5]{OAI78}, which is applied only to row sums with finite-order characters $\chi_\bullet(k)$; the factor $\alpha$ never enters a row character. \end{itemize} \paragraph{Step 1: the short completion (\cite[proof of Lemma~17.2, \emph{The short completion}]{OAI78}).} The CM form of~\cite[eq.~(17.10)]{OAI78} is \begin{equation}\label{eq:s4-inversion} \begin{split} &Z^{-N/2}\ssum_n a(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4\mathfrak d(n)W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}{Z^N}\Bigr)\\ &\qquad=\sum_h\frac{\mu(h)\overline{\alpha(h)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(h)^3}{\N(h)}\, \mathcal T_{\mathfrak d_h}\Bigl(\frac{Z^N}{\N(h)^3};k\Bigr),\qquad \mathfrak d_h(A)=\mathfrak d(h^3A), \end{split} \end{equation} with $h$ squarefree. Indeed, $\overline{\alpha(n)}^{\,2}\gamma_2(n)\Psi_k(n)=a(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4$ since $\rho^2=\rho$. Expand the right side and put $c=hb$. Complete multiplicativity of $\overline\alpha^{\,6}$ and of $\Psi_k$, including its zeros, gives $\overline{\alpha(h)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(h)^3\cdot\overline{\alpha(b)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(b)^3=\overline{\alpha(c)}^{\,6}\Psi_k(c)^3$. Also $\N(h)^{-1}\N(n)^{-1/2}\N(b)^{-1}V_*(\N(n)\N(c)^3/Z^N)=Z^{-N/2}\N(c)^{1/2}W(\N(n)\N(c)^3/Z^N)$, and $\mathfrak d_h(nb^3)=\mathfrak d(nc^3)$ does not depend on $h$. So the coefficient of the term $(n,c)$ contains $\sum_{h\mid c}\mu(h)=\ind_{c=1}$, and only the left side remains. The sums are finite because $W$ has compact support. In~\cite{OAI78} the exponent is $3$ in place of $6$. When $V1$ is the base, and $\mathcal S$ is the fixed finite set of primes; it contains the primes above $6$, so $\lambda\in\mathcal S$. Column sums run over ideals outside $\mathcal S$, through their primary generators;~\cite{OAI78} writes $q_l$ for $\N(l)$. \item The rows are $k\in\OO$ with $0<\N(k)\ll Z^m$, and $\psi_k(n)=\tau(n)\chi_n(k)$ is the finite-order row character, with $\tau$ fixed in the row sum. The moving support has norm at most $Z^q$, and $M=m+q$. \item Masks are as in \cite[Section~18]{OAI78} and \cite[Section~13.1]{OAI78}. \item $\Theta$ is the fixed finite group of finite-order ray characters with conductor primes in $\mathcal S$ (\cite[Section~18]{OAI78}). The row sets $\mathcal R_0$ and $\mathcal R_z$ (\cite[Section~18]{OAI78}) are defined through $\psi_k$. \item $A=n_1+n_2+z$. \end{itemize} The prime slots $Q_{\psi_k,i}$ are those of~\cite[eq.~(13.1)]{OAI78}. They carry $\psi_k$ and never the angular factor. For an ideal $l$ outside $\mathcal S$ put $\alpha(l)=\alpha(l_0)$, where $l_0$ is its primary generator. Products of primary elements are primary (\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}), so \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-alpha-mult} \alpha(ll')=\alpha(l)\alpha(l'),\qquad|\alpha(l)|=1\qquad(l,l'\text{ outside }\mathcal S). \end{equation} For $e\in\{1,-1\}$ the \emph{CM plain polynomial} of log-length $n$ is \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-plain-def} S^{(e)}_{\psi_k}(n;W)=Z^{-n/2}\sum_l\alpha(l)^e\psi_k(l)\,W\Bigl(\frac{\N(l)}{Z^n}\Bigr), \end{equation} the analogue of~\cite[eq.~(4.1)]{OAI78}, with every mask of $\psi_k$ retained. \begin{proposition}[Fourth moment with an angular factor]\label{prop:s5-plain} Let $3/4\le\kappa\le1$ and $e\in\{1,-1\}$. Let $n_1,n_2$, the slot product $Q=\prod_iQ_{\psi_k,i}$, its coefficients $\nu_i$, the masks and the profiles satisfy the hypotheses of~\cite[Lemma~18.1]{OAI78}. For every $\varepsilon>0$ there is a slot mesh $\eta>0$ such that, if $z_i\le\eta$ for every $i$, then \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-plain-bound} \sum_{k\in\mathcal R_z}\Bigl|S^{(e)}_{\psi_k}(n_1;W_1)\,S^{(e)}_{\psi_k}(n_2;W_2)\,Q\Bigr|^2\ll Z^{M+\varepsilon} \end{equation} in either of the following cases: \begin{enumerate} \item $z=0$, with no restriction on the lengths $n_1,n_2\ge0$ and no lower bound on the conductor; \item $z>0$ and $n_1+n_2+6\kappa z\le M$. \end{enumerate} No zero-free hypothesis is assumed. The remaining clauses of~\cite[Lemma~18.1]{OAI78} hold verbatim, uniformly in $\kappa\in[3/4,1]$ and $e$. These clauses cover zero-length slots, bounded length sets, a mesh depending only on those sets and $\varepsilon$, finitely many seminorms and a fixed polynomial in the separated heights, and uniformity over moving moduli, admissible masks and frozen outer labels. \end{proposition} For $\kappa<1$,~\cite[Lemma~18.1]{OAI78} assumes $\beta_*\le(1+\kappa)/2$. Here $\beta_*$ is the supremum~\cite[eq.~(2.1), Section~2]{OAI78} over \emph{finite-order} characters, not the CM quantity of Section~\ref{sec:78}. OpenAI's theorem~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78} gives $\beta_*\le7/8\le(1+\kappa)/2$ for every $\kappa\ge3/4$. That is why the hypothesis disappears, and why $\kappa=3/4$ is admissible (Step~5 below). \subsection{The primitive CM row character}\label{sec:s5-rowchar} \begin{lemma}\label{lem:s5-rowchar} Fix a row $k$ and $e\in\{1,-1\}$. Write: \begin{itemize} \item $\psi_k^0$ for the natural character of~\cite{OAI78} (\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78}); \item $\psi_k^*$ for the primitive finite-order character inducing $\psi_k^0$, and $\mathfrak g_k$ for its conductor; \item $R_{0,k}$ for the redundant natural radical (\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78}): the product of the primes not dividing $\mathfrak g_k$ at which $\psi_k^0$, extended by zero on $\mathcal S$, vanishes. \end{itemize} \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] There is a unique primitive Hecke character $\Xi_k$ of $K$, of infinity type $(a/|a|)^e$, with $\Xi_k(l)=\alpha(l)^e\psi_k^*(l)$ for every ideal $l$ prime to $3\mathfrak g_k$. Explicitly, $\Xi_k((a))=\varphi_k(a)(a/|a|)^e$ for $a$ prime to its conductor $\mathfrak f_k$. Here $\varphi_k$ is a primitive character of $(\OO/\mathfrak f_k)^\times$ with $\varphi_k(u)=u^{-e}$ for the six units $u$. \item[(b)] $v_p(\mathfrak f_k)=v_p(\mathfrak g_k)$ for every prime $p\ne\lambda$. Moreover $v_\lambda(\mathfrak f_k)\le\max(2,v_\lambda(\mathfrak g_k))$ and $v_\lambda(\mathfrak g_k)\le\max(2,v_\lambda(\mathfrak f_k))$. In particular $1/9\le\N(\mathfrak f_k)/\N(\mathfrak g_k)\le9$. \item[(c)] Let $\mathfrak r_k$ be the product of the primes not dividing $\mathfrak f_k$ that lie in $\mathcal S$ or at which $\psi_k^0$ vanishes. Write $[\alpha^e\psi_k^0](l)$ for $\alpha(l)^e\psi_k^0(l)$ when $l$ is outside $\mathcal S$, and for $0$ otherwise. Then, for every nonzero ideal $l$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-natural} [\alpha^e\psi_k^0](l)=\Xi_k(l)\,\ind_{(l,\mathfrak r_k)=1}. \end{equation} The ideal $\mathfrak r_k$ is squarefree, prime to $\mathfrak f_k$, and differs from $R_{0,k}$ at most at~$\lambda$. \item[(d)] Put $C_k^{\rm CM}=3\N(\mathfrak f_k)/(4\pi^2)$, and let $C_k=3\N(\mathfrak g_k)/(4\pi^2)$ be the conductor scale of~\cite{OAI78} (\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78}). Then $C_k^{\rm CM}\N(\mathfrak r_k)\le27\,C_k\N(R_{0,k})$. Hence~\cite[eq.~(18.7)]{OAI78} holds for the CM data, with $C_{\mathcal A}$ replaced by $27C_{\mathcal A}$. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (a) Reduction modulo $3$ maps the six units bijectively onto $(\OO/3)^\times$ (\cite[Section~4.1]{OAI78}). So each $a$ prime to $3$ is uniquely $a=u(a)a_0$, with $u(a)$ a unit and $a_0$ primary. Since $u(ab)=u(a)u(b)$, the function $\varphi_\alpha(a)=u(a)^{-1}$ is a character of $(\OO/3)^\times$ with $\varphi_\alpha(u)=u^{-1}$. Hence $\varphi_\alpha(a)\,a/|a|=a_0/|a_0|$ depends only on the ideal $(a)$, and on an ideal outside $\mathcal S$ it is the $\alpha(l)$ of~\eqref{eq:s5-plain-def}. So $\alpha$ is a Hecke character modulo $3$ of infinity type $a/|a|$. Since $K$ has class number one, $\psi_k^*((a))=\varphi_0(a)$, where $\varphi_0$ is a primitive character of $(\OO/\mathfrak g_k)^\times$ that is trivial on units. Thus, for $a$ prime to $3\mathfrak g_k$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d175} \alpha^e\psi_k^*((a))=\varphi_\alpha(a)^e\varphi_0(a)\,(a/|a|)^e . \end{equation} Let $\varphi_k$ be the primitive character inducing $\varphi_\alpha^e\varphi_0$, and let $\mathfrak f_k$ be its conductor. On units $\varphi_k(u)=\varphi_\alpha(u)^e\varphi_0(u)=u^{-e}$, so $\Xi_k((a))=\varphi_k(a)(a/|a|)^e$ is well defined on ideals prime to $\mathfrak f_k$. It agrees with $\alpha^e\psi_k^*$ on ideals prime to $3\mathfrak g_k$. It is primitive because $\varphi_k$ is: a character modulo a proper divisor of $\mathfrak f_k$ would induce~$\varphi_k$. Two primitive characters that agree outside a finite set of primes coincide, which gives uniqueness. (b) By the Chinese remainder theorem, a character of $(\OO/m)^\times$ is a product of components on the groups $(\OO/p^{v_p(m)})^\times$. Its conductor exponent at $p$ is that of the $p$-component. Since $3=-\lambda^2$, the character $\varphi_\alpha$ lives on $(\OO/\lambda^2)^\times$. So the $p$-components of $\varphi_\alpha^e\varphi_0$ and $\varphi_0$ agree for $p\ne\lambda$. At $\lambda$, a product of characters trivial on $1+\lambda^a\OO$ and on $1+\lambda^b\OO$ is trivial on $1+\lambda^{\max(a,b)}\OO$. This gives the first inequality; the second follows from $\varphi_0=\varphi_\alpha^{-e}(\varphi_\alpha^e\varphi_0)$. If $v_\lambda(\mathfrak g_k)\ge3$, the two inequalities force equality. Otherwise both exponents are at most $2$, and $\N(\lambda)=3$. (c) Let $l$ be a nonzero ideal. Suppose first that $l$ is prime to $\mathfrak f_k\mathfrak r_k$, and let $p\mid l$. Then $p\notin\mathcal S$ and $\psi_k^0(p)\ne0$, so $p\nmid\mathfrak g_k$, because $\psi_k^0$ vanishes at the conductor primes of $\psi_k^*$. Hence $\psi_k^0(p)=\psi_k^*(p)$, and $\alpha(p)^e\psi_k^*(p)=\Xi_k(p)$ by~(a). Multiplicativity then gives~\eqref{eq:s5-natural}. If $p\mid l$ and $p\mid\mathfrak f_k$, both sides vanish. Indeed $\Xi_k(p)=0$, and $p\mid3\mathfrak g_k$, so either $p\in\mathcal S$ or $\psi_k^0(p)=\psi_k^*(p)=0$. If $p\mid l$ and $p\mid\mathfrak r_k$, both sides vanish by definition. The ideals $\mathfrak r_k$ and $R_{0,k}$ are built from the same zero set, since $\alpha$ never vanishes. By~(b), $\mathfrak f_k$ and $\mathfrak g_k$ have the same prime divisors other than $\lambda$. (d) Away from $\lambda$, $\mathfrak f_k\mathfrak r_k$ and $\mathfrak g_kR_{0,k}$ coincide by~(b) and~(c). At $\lambda$, write $v=v_\lambda(\mathfrak g_k)$. The $\lambda$-part of $\N(\mathfrak f_k\mathfrak r_k)$ is at most $3^{\max(2,v)+1}\le27\cdot3^v$. So $\N(\mathfrak f_k)\N(\mathfrak r_k)\le27\N(\mathfrak g_k)\N(R_{0,k})$. The last claim is~\cite[eq.~(18.7), Section~18.1]{OAI78}. \end{proof} The $\lambda$-part of the conductor can move in both directions: for $\psi=\chi_\pi^5$ with $\N(\pi)=7$ and $e=1$, the finite part has conductor norm $63$ but $\Xi$ has conductor norm $7$. So $\lambda$ can pass from the conductor into $\mathfrak r_k$, and the reverse also occurs. Only the bound in~(d) is used. \subsection{Reflection of a plain sum with an angular factor}\label{sec:s5-reflection} \begin{lemma}[CM reflection]\label{lem:s5-reflection} Let $\Xi$ be a primitive Hecke character of $K$ with conductor $\mathfrak f=(f)$ and infinity type $(a/|a|)^e$, $e\in\{1,-1\}$. Thus $\Xi((a))=\varphi(a)(a/|a|)^e$ for $a$ prime to $\mathfrak f$, with $\varphi$ primitive modulo $f$ and $\varphi(u)=u^{-e}$ on units; in particular $\mathfrak f\ne(1)$, since $\varphi(-1)=-1$. Put $C_\Xi=3\N(\mathfrak f)/(4\pi^2)$, and \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-root} \gamma(\varphi)=\frac1{\sqrt{\N(f)}}\sum_{x\bmod f}\varphi(x)\,e\Bigl(\frac xf\Bigr),\qquad \epsilon(\Xi)=e\,\gamma(\varphi)\,\Bigl(\frac f{|f|}\Bigr)^e . \end{equation} Let $W$ be smooth on $(0,\infty)$, such that $g(z)=(z/|z|)^eW(|z|^2)$, with $g(0)=0$, is a Schwartz function on $\mathbb C$. This holds, for example, for annular $W$. Define the Hankel transform~\cite[\S10.22(v)]{DLMF} \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-sharp-def} W^\sharp(y)=\int_0^\infty W(x)\,J_1\bigl(2\sqrt{xy}\bigr)\,dx . \end{equation} Then $|\epsilon(\Xi)|=1$, and for every $X>0$ \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-reflection} X^{-1/2}\sum_{\mathfrak a}\Xi(\mathfrak a)\,W\Bigl(\frac{\N\mathfrak a}X\Bigr) =\epsilon(\Xi)\,Y^{-1/2}\sum_{\mathfrak b}\overline{\Xi(\mathfrak b)}\,W^\sharp\Bigl(\frac{\N\mathfrak b}Y\Bigr), \qquad Y=\frac{C_\Xi}X . \end{equation} Both sums run over nonzero ideals and converge absolutely. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} For $a\in\OO$ put $c(a)=\varphi(a)(a/|a|)^e$, which is $0$ unless $(a,f)=1$. Then $c(ua)=c(a)$ for units $u$, and every ideal prime to $\mathfrak f$ has six generators. So \begin{equation}\label{eq:d176} \sum_{\mathfrak a}\Xi(\mathfrak a)W(\N\mathfrak a/X)=\frac16\sum_{a\in\OO}\varphi(a)\,g_X(a),\qquad g_X(z)=(z/|z|)^eW(|z|^2/X). \end{equation} Write $\widehat h(w)=\int_{\mathbb C}h(z)e(-zw)\,d^2z$. Write $a=t+fy$ with $t\bmod f$ and $y\in\OO$. Poisson summation over $\OO$~\cite[Theorem~19]{QF}, applied to $y\mapsto g_X(t+fy)$, and the substitution $z=t+fy$ (as in~\cite[(4.20)]{QF}) give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d177} \sum_{y\in\OO}g_X(t+fy)=\frac2{\sqrt3}\,\frac1{\N(f)}\sum_{w\in\OO}e\Bigl(\frac{tw}f\Bigr)\widehat{g_X}\Bigl(\frac wf\Bigr). \end{equation} By~\cite[Lemma~17]{QF}, $\sum_{t\bmod f}\varphi(t)e(tw/f)=\overline{\varphi(w)}\sqrt{\N(f)}\,\gamma(\varphi)$ for every $w\in\OO$; both sides vanish when $(w,f)\ne1$. The same lemma gives $|\gamma(\varphi)|=1$. Hence \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-step1} \sum_{a\in\OO}\varphi(a)g_X(a)=\frac2{\sqrt3}\,\frac{\gamma(\varphi)}{\sqrt{\N(f)}} \sum_{w\in\OO}\overline{\varphi(w)}\,\widehat{g_X}(w/f). \end{equation} We now compute $\widehat{g_X}$. Write $z=re^{i\theta}$ and $w=\rho e^{i\beta}$. Then $\operatorname{Im}(zw)=r\rho\sin(\theta+\beta)$. The Jacobi--Anger expansion~\cite[(10.12.1)]{DLMF} $e^{-ix\sin\phi}=\sum_nJ_n(x)e^{-in\phi}$ and $J_{-1}=-J_1$ give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d178} \int_0^{2\pi}e^{ie\theta}\exp\Bigl(-\frac{4\pi i r\rho}{\sqrt3}\sin(\theta+\beta)\Bigr)d\theta =2\pi J_e\Bigl(\frac{4\pi r\rho}{\sqrt3}\Bigr)e^{-ie\beta} =2\pi e\,J_1\Bigl(\frac{4\pi r\rho}{\sqrt3}\Bigr)\Bigl(\frac{\bar w}{|w|}\Bigr)^e . \end{equation} Integrating against $W(r^2/X)\,r\,dr$ and substituting $x=r^2/X$ gives, for $w\ne0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-hankel} \widehat{g_X}(w)=\pi eX\Bigl(\frac{\bar w}{|w|}\Bigr)^e\int_0^\infty W(x)\, J_1\Bigl(4\pi|w|\sqrt{Xx/3}\Bigr)dx . \end{equation} At $w=0$ we get $\widehat{g_X}(0)=\int g_X=0$, because $\int_0^{2\pi}e^{ie\theta}d\theta=0$. Insert~\eqref{eq:s5-hankel} at $w/f$ into~\eqref{eq:s5-step1}. Three identities simplify the result: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d179} \Bigl(\frac{\overline{w/f}}{|w/f|}\Bigr)^e=\Bigl(\frac{\bar w}{|w|}\Bigr)^e\Bigl(\frac f{|f|}\Bigr)^e,\qquad \overline{\varphi(w)}\Bigl(\frac{\bar w}{|w|}\Bigr)^e=\overline{c(w)},\qquad 4\pi\Bigl|\frac wf\Bigr|\sqrt{\frac{Xx}3}=2\sqrt{\frac{x\N(w)}Y}. \end{equation} The last uses $Y=C_\Xi/X$. Hence \begin{equation}\label{eq:d180} \sum_{a}\varphi(a)g_X(a)=\frac{2\pi eX}{\sqrt3}\,\frac{\gamma(\varphi)}{\sqrt{\N(f)}}\Bigl(\frac f{|f|}\Bigr)^e \sum_{w\ne0}\overline{c(w)}\,W^\sharp\Bigl(\frac{\N(w)}Y\Bigr). \end{equation} Group $w$ into ideals (six generators each, and $\overline c$ is invariant under units) and divide by $6$. Multiplying by $X^{-1/2}$ and using $X^{1/2}Y^{1/2}=C_\Xi^{1/2}=\sqrt{3\N(f)}/(2\pi)$ gives the coefficient $e\gamma(\varphi)(f/|f|)^e=\epsilon(\Xi)$. Absolute convergence holds on the left because $g$ is Schwartz. On the right it holds because $\widehat{g_X}$ is Schwartz, and the $w$-sum is the Poisson dual sum. \end{proof} \paragraph{Remark (relation to Hecke's functional equation).} Take Mellin transforms in $X$ of~\eqref{eq:s5-reflection} and use Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-sharp}(a). This gives $C_\Xi^{s/2}\Gamma(s+\frac12)L(s,\Xi)=\epsilon(\Xi)\,C_\Xi^{(1-s)/2}\Gamma(\frac32-s)L(1-s,\overline\Xi)$. This is the functional equation of Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}, with the explicit root number~\eqref{eq:s5-root}. \cite{OAI78} goes the other way: it derives its reflection (\cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78}) from the functional equation by Mellin inversion. For a CM character~\eqref{eq:s5-reflection} is proved directly, so this step uses no analytic continuation. Take $\Xi=\alpha$, of conductor $(3)$. Then $L(s,\alpha)=L(E_{16},s+\frac12)$, where $E_{16}\colon y^2=x^3+16$ has conductor $27=3\N(3)$. We found $\epsilon(\alpha)=1$ numerically, which is the root number of that curve. \begin{lemma}[The dual profile]\label{lem:s5-sharp} Let $W$ be annular. Use the Mellin convention $\mathcal MW(s)=\int_0^\infty W(y)y^{s}\,dy/y$ of~\cite{OAI78} (\cite[Lemma~4.5]{OAI78}), and put $G(s)=\Gamma(s+\frac12)/\Gamma(\frac32-s)$. \begin{enumerate} \item[(a)] $W^\sharp$ is smooth on $(0,\infty)$, and $\mathcal MW^\sharp(s)=\mathcal MW(1-s)\,G(s)$ for $-\frac12<\Re s<\frac14$. In the notation of~\cite[Lemma~4.7]{OAI78}, $W^\sharp=K_{W_1}$ with $W_1(y)=yW(y)$ and $m=G$. \item[(b)] $G$ is holomorphic on $\Re s>-\frac12$. Its poles are at $-\frac12-n$ and its zeros at $\frac32+n$ ($n\ge0$). Uniformly for $\sigma$ in compact subsets of $(-\frac12,\infty)$, $|G(\sigma+it)|=|t|^{2\sigma-1}(1+O(|t|^{-1}))$ as $|t|\to\infty$, the same exponent as for $\Gamma(s)/\Gamma(1-s)$. \item[(c)] For integers $j\ge0$ and every $A\ge0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d181} |(y\partial_y)^jW^\sharp(y)|\ll_{j,A}\min\bigl(y^{1/2},y^{-A}\bigr), \end{equation} with constants given by finitely many seminorms of $W$. Also $W^\sharp(y)=\mathcal MW(\tfrac32)\,y^{1/2}+O(y^{3/2})$ as $y\to0$. For $W_\omega(y)=W(y)y^{i\omega}$ the same bounds hold with an extra factor $(1+|\omega|)^{h}$, where $h=h(j,A)$ is fixed. \end{enumerate} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} (a) Smoothness follows by differentiating under the integral, since $W$ has compact support in $(0,\infty)$. For $-\frac12<\sigma<\frac14$ the double integral of $|W(x)J_1(2\sqrt{xy})|y^{\sigma-1}$ converges, by $|J_1(t)|\le t/2$ and $|J_1(t)|\ll t^{-1/2}$~\cite[(10.14.4), (10.7.8)]{DLMF}. The classical Mellin transform $\int_0^\infty t^{\mu-1}J_1(t)\,dt=2^{\mu-1}\Gamma(\frac{1+\mu}2)/\Gamma(\frac{3-\mu}2)$, valid for $-1<\Re\mu<\frac32$ (\cite[(10.22.43)]{DLMF}, with $\mu-1$ in place of $\mu$), with $t=2\sqrt{xy}$, gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d182} \int_0^\infty J_1(2\sqrt{xy})\,y^{s-1}\,dy=x^{-s}G(s)\qquad(-\tfrac12<\Re s<\tfrac34). \end{equation} Fubini then gives $\mathcal MW^\sharp(s)=\mathcal MW(1-s)G(s)$. Since $\mathcal MW_1(-s)=\mathcal MW(1-s)$, Mellin inversion on a line in $(-\frac12,\frac14)$ identifies $W^\sharp$ with $K_{W_1}$. The inversion is legitimate because $W^\sharp$ is continuous and $\mathcal MW(1-s)G(s)$ is integrable on the line, by~\cite[eq.~(4.11)]{OAI78}. (b) $\Gamma(s+\frac12)$ has poles at $-\frac12-n$, and $1/\Gamma(\frac32-s)$ is entire with zeros at $\frac32+n$. Stirling's formula $|\Gamma(\sigma+it)|=\sqrt{2\pi}|t|^{\sigma-1/2}e^{-\pi|t|/2}(1+O(|t|^{-1}))$ gives the exponent $\sigma-(1-\sigma)=2\sigma-1$. (c) Large $y$: $G$ is holomorphic on the closed strip $-\frac14\le\Re s\le A$, where $|G(s)|\ll(1+|\Im s|)^{2A+1}$. So~\cite[Lemma~4.7]{OAI78} applies on the available line $\Re s=A$ and gives $|(y\partial_y)^jW^\sharp(y)|\ll y^{-A}$, with the stated seminorm and twist dependence. This is the argument of \cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78} with $G$ in place of $\Gamma(s)/\Gamma(1-s)$. Small $y$: $y\partial_y[J_1(2\sqrt{xy})]=x\partial_x[J_1(2\sqrt{xy})]$. Integrating by parts $j$ times, with no boundary terms, gives $(y\partial_y)^jW^\sharp(y)=\int_0^\infty W_j(x)J_1(2\sqrt{xy})\,dx$, where $W_j=(-\partial_xx)^jW$ is annular. Then $|J_1(t)|\le t/2$ gives $|(y\partial_y)^jW^\sharp(y)|\le y^{1/2}\int|W_j(x)|x^{1/2}dx$. The expansion $J_1(t)=t/2+O(t^3)$ gives the asymptotic formula. Finally, $W_\omega$ is annular, with $j$-th seminorm $\ll(1+|\omega|)^j$. \end{proof} So the CM dual profile is better than that of~\cite{OAI78} at the origin: it vanishes like $y^{1/2}$, while $\Gamma(s)/\Gamma(1-s)$ leaves a constant term. It is the same at infinity and on vertical lines. In particular, the annular coefficients below the main scale in \cite[Section~18.1]{OAI78} are $O(2^{-j})$ instead of $O(2^{-j/2})$. \subsection{Lattice sums with an angular factor}\label{sec:s5-lattice} \begin{lemma}[CM form of {\cite[Lemma~18.3]{OAI78}}] \label{lem:s5-lattice} Let: \begin{itemize} \item $\vartheta$ range over a fixed finite set of finite-order ray characters with conductor primes in $\mathcal S$; \item $\mathfrak r_*$ be squarefree, with $\N(\mathfrak r_*)\le Z^{B_*}$; \item $W_1,W_2$ be smooth profiles on fixed annuli, and $e\in\{1,-1\}$. \end{itemize} For $X>0$ and $t\in\mathbb R$ put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d183} \mathcal L_i(X,t)=\sum_{l\ \text{outside}\ \mathcal S}\alpha(l)^e\vartheta(l)\,\ind_{(l,\mathfrak r_*)=1}\, \N(l)^{it}\,W_i\Bigl(\frac{\N(l)}X\Bigr). \end{equation} Then, with $J$ fixed and finitely many seminorms, uniformly in $X>0$, in $\mathfrak r_*$ and in the finite set, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s5-lattice} |\mathcal L_i(X,t)|\ll Z^{\varepsilon_1}(1+|t|)^J,\qquad|\mathcal L_i(X,t)|\ll X . \end{equation} Consequently: \begin{itemize} \item \cite[eq.~(18.45)]{OAI78} holds with $c_{\vartheta,\mathfrak r_*}=0$; \item \cite[eq.~(18.46)]{OAI78} holds; \item \cite[eq.~(18.47)]{OAI78} holds for the coefficient $\alpha(l_1)^e\alpha(l_2)^e\vartheta(l_1)\vartheta(l_2)\ind_{(l_1l_2,\mathfrak r_*)=1}\N(l_1l_2)^{it}D_{\mathbf b}(l_1,l_2)$, together with its fallback $O(T^{1/2})$ when there is no lower length. \end{itemize} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} First let $\mathfrak r_*=(1)$, and call the sum $\mathcal L_i^0$. The primary generators of ideals outside $\mathcal S$ are the $z\equiv1\pmod3$ that are prime to the primes of $\mathcal S$. The value $\vartheta(l)$ depends only on $z$ modulo a fixed modulus. So there are a fixed nonzero $N_0\in\OO$ and a function $w$ on $\OO/N_0$ with $|w|\le1$ such that \begin{equation}\label{eq:d184} \mathcal L_i^0(X,t)=\sum_{z\in\OO}w(z)\,g_{X,t}(z),\qquad g_{X,t}(z)=X^{it}h_t(z/\sqrt X),\qquad h_t(z)=(z/|z|)^e|z|^{2it}W_i(|z|^2). \end{equation} Poisson summation in each class $t_0+N_0\OO$, exactly as in the proof of Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-reflection}, gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d185} \mathcal L_i^0(X,t)=\frac2{\sqrt3}\,\frac1{\N(N_0)}\sum_{w\in\OO}\widehat w(w)\,X^{1+it}\, \widehat{h_t}\bigl(\sqrt X\,w/N_0\bigr), \end{equation} where $\widehat w(w)=\sum_{t_0\bmod N_0}w(t_0)e(t_0w/N_0)$, so $|\widehat w|\le\N(N_0)$. The zero frequency is $X^{1+it}\widehat{h_t}(0)=X^{1+it}\int_0^\infty r^{2it}W_i(r^2)\,r\,dr\int_0^{2\pi}e^{ie\theta}\,d\theta=0$. This is the term $c_\vartheta X^{1+it}I_i(t)$ of~\cite{OAI78}. With the angular factor it vanishes identically. For the other frequencies, note that $h_t$ is smooth and supported on a fixed annulus, with $\partial^\beta h_t\ll(1+|t|)^{|\beta|}$. So $|\widehat{h_t}(\xi)|\ll(1+|t|)^{J_0}(1+|\xi|)^{-J_0}$ for any fixed $J_0\ge3$. For $X\ge1$ this gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d186} |\mathcal L_i^0|\ll(1+|t|)^{J_0}X\sum_{w\ne0}(1+\sqrt X|w|/|N_0|)^{-J_0}\ll(1+|t|)^{J_0}. \end{equation} For $00$ the small displacement of~\cite{OAI78} (written $e$ there), apply the global part of~\cite[Lemma~4.9]{OAI78} with $b=s_\kappa=(1+\kappa)/2$. This is allowed because OpenAI's theorem~\cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78} gives $\beta_*\le7/8\le s_\kappa$ for $\kappa\ge3/4$. Hence~\cite[eq.~(18.12)]{OAI78} holds for every $\kappa\in[3/4,1]$ without hypothesis. The rest is verbatim. \emph{Step 6: induction order, terminal widths and comparisons} (\cite[Section~18.2]{OAI78}). Verbatim, with Step~3 for every reflection. The comparison has the same coefficient $\alpha^e\psi_k$ and the same profiles. The $\kappa$-dependent inequalities are those of~\cite{OAI78} and hold on all of $[3/4,1]$, endpoint included. They are \cite[eq.~(18.13)]{OAI78}, the bound $6\kappa-1\ge7/2$ at \cite[Section~18.2]{OAI78}, \cite[eq.~(18.15)]{OAI78} and~\cite[eq.~(18.16)]{OAI78}. \emph{Step 7: the centered difference} (\cite[Section~18.2]{OAI78}). Now \begin{equation}\label{eq:d189} \Delta_k=\frac Q{\sqrt{X_1X_2}}\sum_{l_1,l_2}\alpha(l_1l_2)^e\psi_k(l_1l_2)\{\cdots\}, \end{equation} with the bracket of \cite[Section~18.2]{OAI78}. The enlargement to the smooth row ball uses only nonnegativity. Verbatim. \emph{Step 8: the centered coefficient} (\cite[Section~18.3]{OAI78}). \cite[eq.~(18.17)]{OAI78} is unchanged. The coefficient form is~\eqref{eq:s5-coeff}. The main term of \cite[Section~18.3]{OAI78} has $c_{\vartheta,\mathfrak R_*}=0$ (Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-lattice}). The support convention concerns norms only. \emph{Step 9: the first transform} (\cite[Section~18.4]{OAI78}). Poisson summation acts on the row $k$, on which $\alpha$ does not depend.~\cite[eq.~(18.21)]{OAI78} holds with two changes: \begin{itemize} \item $A_C(a)$ and $A_D(b)$ include the residual angular factors (Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-coefficients}(iii)); \item the frozen $\alpha$-scalars of the allocation are part of the scalar of bounded modulus in the frozen labels (\cite[Section~18.4]{OAI78}). \end{itemize} The zero frequency (\cite[Section~18.4]{OAI78}) uses only that the coefficients have modulus at most one. \cite[eqs.~(18.23), (18.24)]{OAI78} are verbatim. \emph{Step 10: the Gauss-row enlargement} (\cite[Section~18.5]{OAI78}). Verbatim, by Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-coefficients}(iv). \emph{Step 11: the second transform and the children} (\cite[Section~18.6]{OAI78}). Verbatim, by Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-coefficients}(iii),(v)--(vii). A child is classified by its finite-order character $\tau_1\rho\chi_\bullet(G_cV_{\rm id}h')$ (\cite[Section~18.6]{OAI78}). For a child outside $\Theta$, the induction hypothesis is Proposition~\ref{prop:s5-plain} at the smaller width $M'$, with the same $e$, for rows in $\mathcal R_{z'}$ (or $\mathcal R_0$ if $z'=0$); both sets contain every such child row. \emph{Step 12: exceptional rows} (\cite[Section~18.7]{OAI78}). The count~\cite[eq.~(18.41)]{OAI78} involves only the finite-order child character, so it is verbatim. The volume bounds in \cite[Section~18.7]{OAI78} use only $|\alpha|=1$. For the centered exceptional terms, Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-coefficients} supplies the hypotheses of Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-lattice}. Then \cite[Section~18.7]{OAI78} give~\cite[eq.~(18.48)]{OAI78} verbatim, and~\cite[eq.~(18.50)]{OAI78} follows. \emph{Step 13: completion of the induction} (\cite[Section~18.8]{OAI78}). Verbatim. The ``fixed gamma shape'' of reflection (\cite[Section~18.8]{OAI78}) is now $G(s)=\Gamma(s+\frac12)/\Gamma(\frac32-s)$, which has the same vertical growth (Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-sharp}(b)). This proves Proposition~\ref{prop:s5-plain}.\qed \paragraph{Remarks.} \begin{enumerate} \item \emph{Two strengthenings, not used.} In case~(1), the proof uses $k\in\mathcal R_0$ only through the reflections of Steps~3 and~6. These are valid for every row in the CM case, because $\Xi_k$ always exists and is never principal. So in the CM case, (1) holds with $\mathcal R_0$ replaced by all rows $0<\N(k)\ll Z^m$. Also, by Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-lattice} each exceptional plain sum is $O(Z^{\varepsilon_1}(1+|t|)^J)$, far below the volume bound, so the centering is not needed. We have not used either simplification. \item \emph{Application.} The witnesses $S_m$ of Section~\ref{sec:78rows} have coefficient $\overline\alpha\theta\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$. Conjugating the whole product, as in~\cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78} gives~\eqref{eq:s5-plain-def} with $e=1$, $\tau=\overline\theta$ and $k=u$. The slot coefficients relative to $\psi_u=\overline\theta\chi_\bullet(u)$ are fixed combinations of members of $\Theta$. Every retained row ramifies at a good prime, so it lies in $\mathcal R_z$. This is the instance of Proposition~\ref{prop:s5-plain} used in Section~\ref{sec:78moments}. \end{enumerate} \paragraph{Numerical checks.} We checked the new identities numerically: six scripts and $106$ checks, all of which pass. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{The Bessel--Mellin formulas.} $\int_0^\infty J_1(2\sqrt y)y^{s-1}dy=G(s)$ agrees to $10^{-30}$, and Mellin inversion reproduces $W^\sharp$ for a $C_c^\infty$ bump on three lines to $4\cdot10^{-9}$. \item \emph{The behaviour of $W^\sharp$.} At $0$ it behaves like $y^{1/2}$, and the annular coefficients are $O(2^{-j})$. \item \emph{Stirling exponents.} These were checked for both quotients. \item \emph{The planar transform.} Formula~\eqref{eq:s5-hankel} and $\widehat g(0)=0$ hold to $10^{-13}$. \item \emph{The reflection formula.} \eqref{eq:s5-reflection} was checked for $12$ primitive characters: $\alpha^{\pm1}$, and twists by sextic residue characters modulo primes of norm $7$, $13$ and $19$ (one a product of two) and by the cubic character modulo $2$. Both signs of $e$ and three profiles were used, and the error was at most $4\cdot10^{-11}$. \item \emph{The reflection on actual rows.} Rows with redundant zeros were checked, with deleted and restored factors and the bound of Lemma~\ref{lem:s5-rowchar}(d); the error was at most $2\cdot10^{-15}$. \item \emph{The lattice sums.} $\mathcal L_i^0(X,t)$ stays bounded and tends to $0$ for $X$ up to $3\cdot10^5$, while the sum without the angular factor grows like $\frac{\pi}{6\sqrt3}X|I(t)|$. The inclusion--exclusion identity holds to $2\cdot10^{-13}$. \end{itemize} \section{The \texorpdfstring{$11/12$}{11/12} stage for the family \texorpdfstring{$\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$}{F\_CM}}\label{app:s6} This appendix proves item~6 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}. The family $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ and the number $\beta_*$ are those of Section~\ref{sec:78}. \begin{theorem}\label{thm:s6-1112} For every $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, $L(s,\psi)\ne0$ for $\Re s>11/12$. Equivalently, $\beta_*\le11/12$. \end{theorem} The two assertions are equivalent. The number $\beta_*$ is the supremum of $1/2$ and of the real parts of the zeros $\rho$, with $1/2\le\Re\rho\le1$, of the members of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. No $L(s,\psi)$ vanishes in $\Re s>1$, where its Euler product converges absolutely. \subsection{What~\texorpdfstring{\cite{OAI78}}{[OAI78]} proves at this stage, and what Part~II uses} \label{subsec:s6-what} The $11/12$ stage of~\cite{OAI78} is its Theorem~3.1: every finite-order Hecke $L$-function over $K$, and every Dirichlet $L$-function, has no zero in $\Re s>11/12$. The proof (\cite[Sections~10--11]{OAI78}, with the probe, the Poisson representation and the detector of \cite[Sections~6--9]{OAI78}) is by contradiction. Suppose that $\Delta_1=\beta_*-11/12>0$, where now $\beta_*$ is the supremum for the finite-order family. For each target $\eta$ the balanced probe $J_{\mathrm I,\eta}(Z)=I_\eta(Z^{1/2},Z^{1/2},Z)/c_S$ satisfies two estimates: \begin{equation}\label{eq:d190} |J_{\mathrm I,\eta}(Z)|\ll_\eta Z^{1/4+\omega},\qquad |J_{\mathrm I,\eta}(Z)-f_{\mathrm I,\eta}(Z)|\ll_\eta Z^{C_{\mathrm I}(\beta_*)-1/4800}, \end{equation} with $C_{\mathrm I}(s)=s-2/3$ and $\omega=\Delta_1/2$ (\cite[Props.~6.3 and 11.2]{OAI78}). The high estimate uses five inputs: \begin{itemize} \item the Poisson representation, \cite[Lemma~7.1]{OAI78}; \item the detector, \cite[Section~8]{OAI78}; \item the sextic large sieve and the row count, \cite[Lemma~9.1 and Prop.~9.2]{OAI78}; \item the analytic lemmas of \cite[Section~10]{OAI78}; \item the late choice of the analysis height, \cite[Lemma~11.1]{OAI78}. \end{itemize} The continuation criterion \cite[Prop.~2.1]{OAI78} then contradicts $\Delta_1>0$. A quadratic transfer, \cite[Prop.~11.3]{OAI78}, passes to Dirichlet $L$-functions. Part~II of~\cite{OAI78} uses this stage in two ways. \begin{itemize} \item[(U1)] \emph{The bound $\beta_*\le11/12$} (\cite[Section~12]{OAI78}). It enters only through $0<\Delta=\beta_*-7/8\le1/24$, $\kappa=2\beta_*-1\in(3/4,5/6]$ and the bin ceiling $\delta\le\kappa$ (\cite[eqs.~(12.1) and~(12.2)]{OAI78}; used again at \cite[Section~19.2]{OAI78} and \cite[proof of Proposition~20.3]{OAI78}). In Section~\ref{sec:78final} this is the range $0\le\delta\le5/6$ of the endpoint certificate. \item[(U2)] \emph{The shared lemmas.} The $7/8$ conclusion of~\cite{OAI78} (its Section~20) applies the following results of its Part~I again, with $\sigma_0=7/8$: Definition~10.1; eqs.~(10.1) and~(10.2); and Lemmas~10.2, 10.3 (inside the proof of the next one), 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 11.1. \end{itemize} The sextic large sieve and the sextic row count are used only in Part~I of~\cite{OAI78}. For $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, (U1) is Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}. Its conclusion is not uniform in anything: it is the conjunction of one statement for each member. In~\cite{OAI78} the margins $\omega$ and $\sigma$ of the continuation criterion must be independent of the target, because the criterion argues by contradiction about the supremum $\beta_*$. That requirement belongs to the proof, not to the conclusion. So we may prove Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112} one character at a time. We do this in Section~\ref{subsec:s6-twist}, by running Part~I of these notes with a fixed finite-order twist. This is how~\cite{OAI1112} proves the same theorem for finite-order characters. Its Theorem~1.1 is deduced from the mean-square estimate~\cite[Proposition~3.1]{OAI1112}, one character at a time, and that estimate carries a fixed finite-order twist~$\nu$. Section~\ref{subsec:s6-shared} supplies (U2), and with it the CM form of the argument of~\cite{OAI78}. \subsection{Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}: Part~I with a finite-order twist}\label{subsec:s6-twist} \paragraph{The data.} Fix $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$. By the definition of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, $\psi$ is the primitive character inducing $\overline\alpha\eta$, where $\eta$ is a character of the ray class group modulo some integral ideal $\mathfrak m$. Thus \begin{equation}\label{eq:d191} \psi((n))=\overline{\alpha(n)}\,\eta((n)) \end{equation} for every primary $n$ prime to $3\mathfrak m$. Let $S$ be the set of prime ideals that divide $6\mathfrak m$. If $n\equiv n'\pmod{\mathfrak m}$ are primary and prime to $S$, then $n/n'\equiv1\ \mathrm{mod}^\times\,\mathfrak m$ (multiplicatively), so $\eta((n))=\eta((n'))$. Put \begin{equation}\label{eq:d192} \nu(n)=\overline{\eta((n))}\quad(n\text{ primary, prime to }S),\qquad\nu(n)=0\quad\text{otherwise}. \end{equation} For a primary prime $\pi\notin S$ this gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:s6-euler} \alpha(\pi)\nu(\pi)=\overline{\overline{\alpha(\pi)}\eta((\pi))}=\overline{\psi((\pi))}. \end{equation} Fix $L_S\in\OO$ whose prime factors are exactly the primes of $S$, and which is divisible by $72$, by a generator of $\mathfrak m$, and by the moduli of the finitely many ray characters $n\mapsto\chi_n\bigl(\upsilon\prod_{\mathfrak p\in S}\pi_{\mathfrak p}^{v_{\mathfrak p}}\bigr)$ of~\cite[Lemma~4.1]{OAI78}. Here $\upsilon$ is a unit, $0\le v_{\mathfrak p}\le5$, and $\pi_{\mathfrak p}$ is a fixed generator of $\mathfrak p$. Let $\mathfrak G_S$ be the group of classes in $(\OO/L_S\OO)^\times$ congruent to $1$ modulo $3$. These are the classes of the primary elements prime to $S$. When $S$ consists of the primes above $6$, one may take $L_S=72$, and $\mathfrak G_S$ is the group $\mathfrak G$ of Section~\ref{sec:poisson}. In general $\mathfrak G_S$ has four properties. \begin{enumerate} \item[(G1)] $G$, $\mathcal R$ and $x\mapsto\chi_x(-1)$ are functions of classes modulo $4$ (Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm}). Reduction $\mathfrak G_S\to(\OO/4\OO)^\times$ is a homomorphism, so they are functions on $\mathfrak G_S$, and~\eqref{eq:b2-quotient} holds on $\mathfrak G_S$. \item[(G2)] $\nu$ is a character of $\mathfrak G_S$, by the congruence property just proved. \item[(G3)] The fixed-numerator characters above are characters of $\mathfrak G_S$. \item[(G4)] $(\lambda/x)_3$ depends only on $x\bmod9$ for primary $x$, and $9\mid L_S$. \end{enumerate} The twisted rows are \begin{equation}\label{eq:d193} A_u^\nu(D)=\sum_n\muk(n)\alpha(n)\nu(n)\chi_n(u)W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}D\Bigr), \end{equation} over primary $n$, with $u\in\OO$. The factor $\nu(n)$ restricts $n$ to elements prime to $S$. For $\nu=\ind$ and $S$ the primes above $6$ these are the rows~\eqref{eq:Au} of Part~I. \begin{proposition}[Twisted mean square]\label{prop:s6-ms} For every fixed $0<\vartheta\le1/10$ and $\varepsilon>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d194} \sum_{0<\N(u)\le D^{1+\vartheta}}|A_u^\nu(D)|^2\ll_{\psi,W,\vartheta,\varepsilon}D^{2+\vartheta+\varepsilon}. \end{equation} As in~\eqref{eq:MS}, the constant is controlled by a finite smoothness norm of $W$. \end{proposition} This is the CM form of~\cite[Proposition~3.1]{OAI1112}, and~\eqref{eq:MS} is the case $\nu=\ind$. The proof needs the CM transformation formula at a general modulus. \begin{lemma}[The transformation formula at a general modulus]\label{lem:s6-reflection} Let $L\in\OO$ have prime factors exactly the primes of $S$, with $72\mid L$, and let $\mathfrak G_L$ be the group of classes in $(\OO/L\OO)^\times$ congruent to $1$ modulo $3$. Let $\xi_0$ be a character of $\mathfrak G_L$, extended by zero to elements that are not primary or not prime to $S$. Let $\mathcal P$ be a finite set of primary primes outside $S$, with $0\le j_\pi\le5$, put $\Psi=\xi_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P}\chi_\pi^{j_\pi}$, and define $T(X;\Psi)$ by~\eqref{eq:T}. Then Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} holds with three changes: \begin{itemize} \item the number of terms is at most $\N(L)\,2^{|\mathcal P|}$; \item $c_0$ is an associate of the reduced denominator of $\lambda^2h_0/L$, so its prime factors lie in $S$; \item $\psi$ is an additive character modulo $\lambda^3c_0$. \end{itemize} Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform} holds with $h_0\in\OO/L\OO$ and $M=\lambda^{12}L^4$. Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay} does not involve $L$. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} Follow Section~\ref{sec:b3-proof}. In Step~1 put $\phi(x)=(\lambda/x)_3\,\xi_0(x)$ if $x$ is primary and prime to $S$, and $\phi(x)=0$ otherwise. Then $\phi$ is $L$-periodic, by~(G4) and $9\mid L$. By~\eqref{eq:theta-coeff}, the selection statement after it, and the vanishing of $\phi$ at elements not prime to $S$, the coefficient of $\Theta_\Psi$ at $\ell$ vanishes unless $\lambda^3\ell=nb^3$ with $n$ squarefree and $n,b$ primary and prime to $S$. Its value is still~\eqref{eq:b3-coeff}. The finite Fourier expansion~\eqref{eq:b3-translates} holds with $h_0\in\OO/L\OO$, and $\sum_{\mathbf h}c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)=\phi(0)\prod_\pi\chi_\pi(0)^{j_\pi}=0$. Step~2 quotes facts (a)--(e) from~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}. They are proved there for any nonzero $L$ with prime divisors in $S$ that is divisible by every prime of $S$, by the conductor of the fixed character, and by sufficiently high powers of the primes above $2$ and $3$. Since $72\mid L_S$, the powers of $2$ and $\lambda$ in $L_S$ are at least those of $72$, which Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} uses; the argument of~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112} uses them through congruences modulo $q^{v_q(Mc_0)}$, with $M=\lambda^{12}L^4$. This covers the reduced denominators $c=c_0r$ with $c_0$ as stated, the matrices $g$, $H$, $g_1$ and the label $\sigma$, the multiplier $\kappa(g_1)=\kappa_0\prod_{\pi\mid r}\chi_\pi(a)^2$ (\cite[(A.10)]{OAI1112}), the phase~\eqref{eq:b3-crt} with $\psi$ modulo $\lambda^3c_0$ (\cite[(A.11)]{OAI1112}), and the local identity~\eqref{eq:b3-local} at the primes of $\mathcal P$, which lie outside $S$ (\cite[(A.12)]{OAI1112}). Steps~3--6 use the data of Step~2 only through~\eqref{eq:b3-automorphy}, \eqref{eq:b3-crt}, \eqref{eq:b3-local} and $|c_{\rm F}(\mathbf h)|\le|\widehat\phi(h_0)|\le1$. The derivative, the Mellin transforms, the functional equation and the assembly do not involve $L$. The value $L=72$ was used only in the count $\N(72)=5184$ of the groups $(h_0,\mathcal A)$ and in the description $c_0\mid8\lambda^2$. Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform} is~\cite[Lemma~6.3]{OAI1112}, which is proved for this general $L$ at the end of~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}. \end{proof} \begin{proof}[Proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-ms}] Run the proof of~\eqref{eq:MS} in Sections~\ref{sec:poisson}--\ref{sec:descent} and Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}, with four substitutions. \begin{itemize} \item[(S1)] Every column-type variable runs over primary elements prime to $S$ instead of prime to $6$. These are the columns $n,z_i,m_i,x_i$, the cube indices $b$ of~\eqref{eq:T} and $h$ of~\eqref{eq:inversion}, and the divisors $g,e_0,v_0,r_0,f,C,t,e,w,r,j,f'$ of Sections~\ref{sec:poisson} and~\ref{sec:descent}. The row and frequency variables ($u$, $k$, $y$, the Poisson frequencies, $h_2$, $k'$) still run over $\OO$. \item[(S2)] $\mathfrak G$ becomes $\mathfrak G_S$; the characters $\xi,\xi_1,\xi'$ range over the characters of $\mathfrak G_S$, and $|\mathfrak G|=432$ becomes $|\mathfrak G_S|$. \item[(S3)] Appendix~\ref{app:reflection} is used at $L=L_S$, in the form of Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-reflection}. \item[(S4)] In Step~2 of the proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction},~\eqref{eq:paired} is replaced by~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} with $\xi_1=\overline\nu$. \end{itemize} We check the written-out CM arguments in which $6$, $72$ or $\mathfrak G$ occur. Every step that Part~I cites from~\cite{OAI1112} is proved there for a general finite set $S$ and a general fixed finite-order twist. \emph{Section~\ref{subsec:b2-cm}, inputs.} Formula~\eqref{eq:poisson-exact} is~\cite[Lemma~21]{QF} for a primitive character modulo $z_1z_2$ with exclusion ideal $g$; enlarging the excluded set changes nothing in it. The identities~\eqref{eq:gauss} and~\eqref{eq:b2-g1g2} hold prime by prime. Identity~\eqref{eq:b2-quotient} holds on $\mathfrak G_S$ by~(G1). The exclusion bound~\eqref{eq:b2-remove} is~\cite[Lemma~4.4]{OAI1112}, which is stated there for a general $S$. \emph{Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired}} holds for characters $\xi,\xi_1$ of $\mathfrak G_S$, with $|c_\xi(\xi_1)|\le1$ and $|\ell_{\xi_1}(\xi)|\le1$. Its proof uses only four facts:~\eqref{eq:b2-crt} (the Chinese remainder theorem and sextic reciprocity for coprime $z_1,z_2$ prime to $6$);~\eqref{eq:b2-two} (prime by prime);~\eqref{eq:b2-quotient} on the group; and that $\xi,\xi_1$ are characters of a group through which $G$ factors. \emph{Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction}.} In Step~1 the coefficient of the pair $(n_1,n_2)$ acquires $\overline{\nu(n_1)}\nu(n_2)=|\nu(g)|^2\,\overline{\nu(z_1)}\nu(z_2)=\overline{\nu(z_1)}\nu(z_2)$, since $g$ is prime to $S$. The zero frequency still has coefficient $|W(\N(g)/D)|^2$, so $Z$ is unchanged, with $g$ prime to $S$. In Step~2,~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} with $\xi_1=\overline\nu$ gives \begin{equation}\label{eq:d195} \muk(z_1)\muk(z_2)\overline{\alpha(z_1)}\alpha(z_2)\overline{\nu(z_1)}\nu(z_2)\, \gamma(\overline{\chi_{z_1}}\chi_{z_2})=\sum_\xi c_\xi(\overline\nu)\,a_\xi(z_1)\overline{a_\xi(z_2)}, \end{equation} and therefore $\mathcal M_D-Z=\sum_\xi c_\xi(\overline\nu)\mathcal S_\xi$, with $\mathcal S_\xi$ as in~\eqref{eq:b2-Sxi}. For $z_1=z_2=1$ the identity reads $1=\sum_\xi c_\xi(\overline\nu)$. Steps~3--5 use the coefficients only through~\eqref{eq:b2-twisted} and $|a_\xi|\le1$, which hold for every character of $\mathfrak G_S$. The bijection of Step~3 and the scales of Step~4 do not see $S$. The number of characters, $|\mathfrak G_S|$, enters only the constant. \emph{Sections~\ref{sec:theta} and~\ref{sec:sieve}.} For a character $\xi$ of $\mathfrak G_S$, the twist $\Psi(n)=\xi(n)\chi_n(k)\chi_n(f)^4$ has the form $\xi_0\prod_{\pi\in\mathcal P}\chi_\pi^{j_\pi}$, where $\mathcal P$ is the set of primes outside $S$ dividing $kf$ and $\xi_0$ is a character of $\mathfrak G_S$: $\xi_0$ collects $\xi$, the unit and reciprocity factors, and the factors of $k$ at the primes of $S$~\cite[(6.17)]{OAI1112}, which are characters of $\mathfrak G_S$ by~(G1) and~(G3). The proof of the completed estimate~\eqref{eq:completed} in Section~\ref{subsec:b4-completed} then applies with Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-reflection} in place of Proposition~\ref{prop:b3-reflection} and Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-uniform}. Lemma~\ref{lem:b3-decay} is unchanged. The large sieve~\eqref{eq:qls} is applied with rows prime to $S$; the dual columns, the theta indices, need not be prime to $S$, and~\eqref{eq:qls} allows arbitrary squarefree columns. The bound for squarefree rows is~\cite[Lemma~6.6]{OAI1112}, whose proof fixes the part of the row at $S$ and at the primes of $g$ for a general $S$. \emph{Section~\ref{sec:descent}.} Identity~\eqref{eq:inversion} holds with $h$ prime to $S$. Cube removal, Lemma~\ref{lem:b4-cube}, is~\cite[Lemma~5.3]{OAI1112}, proved for a general $S$, with~\eqref{eq:completed}. In the transfer estimate, Lemmas~\ref{lem:b4-first}, \ref{lem:b4-second-id} and~\ref{lem:b4-second} use the Poisson formula of~\cite[Lemma~21]{QF}, the paired identities of Lemma~\ref{lem:b2-paired} (now over $\mathfrak G_S$), the exclusion bound~\eqref{eq:b2-remove} and~\cite[Lemma~B.2]{OAI1112}. The finitely many $\xi_1$ are the characters of $\mathfrak G_S$. The induction of Section~\ref{sec:descent} uses only cube removal, the transfer estimate, counting and $|a_\xi|\le1$. Hence~\eqref{eq:finalenergy} holds for every character $\xi$ of $\mathfrak G_S$, which is the hypothesis~\eqref{eq:b2-hyp} over $\mathfrak G_S$, and the modified Proposition~\ref{prop:b2-reduction} gives the assertion. \end{proof} \begin{proof}[Proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}] \emph{Extraction.} Let $H=D^{1+\vartheta}$ and $Y=H^{1/6}$. Let $\mathcal P_Y$ be the set of primary primes $\pi\notin S$ with $Y/2<\N(\pi)\le Y$, and $J=|\mathcal P_Y|$. Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-extract} holds with $u_0=1$, $N_0=1$ and this $\mathcal P_Y$. In it, $A_u^\nu$ replaces $A_u$, $A_1^\nu(D)$ replaces $S_d(D)$, and the mean square of Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-ms} replaces $M(D,H)$. Its proof uses only $|\muk(n)\alpha(n)\nu(n)|\le1$, $\chi_n(\pi^6)=\ind_{\pi\nmid n}$, the distinctness of the rows $\pi^6$, and lattice-point counting. Since $S$ is finite, the prime number theorem for primes $\equiv1\pmod3$~\cite{Lan03} gives $J\ge Y/(5\log Y)$ for $Y\ge Y_0(S)$. As in the proof of~\eqref{eq:Sbound}, Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-ms} then gives, for every $\varepsilon>0$, \begin{equation}\label{eq:s6-bound} A_1^\nu(D)=\sum_n\muk(n)\alpha(n)\nu(n)W\Bigl(\frac{\N(n)}D\Bigr)\ll_{\psi,W,\varepsilon}D^{11/12+\varepsilon} \qquad(D\ge1). \end{equation} \emph{Zeros.} Let $W$ be supported in $[a,b]\subset(0,\infty)$. Then $A_1^\nu(D)=0$ for $D<1/b$, it is bounded for $1/b\le D<1$, and~\eqref{eq:s6-bound} makes $F_W(s)=\int_0^\infty A_1^\nu(D)D^{-s}\,dD/D$ holomorphic on $\Re s>11/12$. For $\Re s>1$, Fubini's theorem as in Lemma~\ref{lem:b1-mellin}(i), complete multiplicativity of $\alpha\nu$ on primary elements, and~\eqref{eq:s6-euler} give \begin{equation}\label{eq:d196} F_W(s)=\widehat W(s)\sum_n\frac{\muk(n)\alpha(n)\nu(n)}{\N(n)^s} =\widehat W(s)\prod_{\pi\notin S}\Bigl(1-\frac{\overline{\psi((\pi))}}{\N(\pi)^s}\Bigr) =\frac{\widehat W(s)}{L^S(s,\overline\psi)}. \end{equation} Here $L^S(s,\overline\psi)=L(s,\overline\psi)\prod_{\mathfrak p\in S}\bigl(1-\overline\psi(\mathfrak p) \N(\mathfrak p)^{-s}\bigr)$, and the finite product is holomorphic and nonzero on $\Re s>0$. The function $L(s,\overline\psi)$ is entire, by Hecke's theorem~\cite{Hec20}, \cite[Ch.~VII, \S8]{Neukirch} (see also Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}). So $L^S(s,\overline\psi)F_W(s)=\widehat W(s)$ on $\Re s>1$, and hence on $\Re s>11/12$. Suppose $L(s_0,\overline\psi)=0$ with $\Re s_0>11/12$. Choose a nonzero nonnegative $\phi\in C_c^\infty((1,2))$ and put $W(y)=y^{-s_0}\phi(y)$. At $s_0$ the left side vanishes, while $\widehat W(s_0)=\int_1^2\phi(y)\,dy/y>0$. This contradiction shows that $L(s,\overline\psi)\ne0$ for $\Re s>11/12$. Finally $L(s,\psi)=\overline{L(\bar s,\overline\psi)}$, so the same holds for $L(s,\psi)$. \end{proof} \paragraph{Remarks.} (1) All constants depend on $\psi$, through $S$, $L_S$, $\mathfrak G_S$ and $\nu$. No uniformity in $\psi$ or in its conductor is needed, because the conclusion is made for one $\psi$ at a time. (2) For $\psi=\psi_d^*$ the twist is not needed: then $\eta=\chi_\bullet(4d)$, and Section~\ref{sec:sixth} reaches $\overline{\psi_d^*}=\psi_d$ through the row $u_d$. A general $\eta$ is not of the form $\chi_\bullet(u)$; for example, its order need not divide $6$. That is why the twist $\nu$ is carried in the columns. (3) The weights here are compactly supported, so Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-reflection} needs only the test functions $V(y)=\sqrt y\,W(y)$ of Appendix~\ref{app:reflection}. The general log-Schwartz tests and the marked forms of item~1 of Section~\ref{sec:78status} are not used. \subsection{The shared high-side lemmas, and the route of~\texorpdfstring{\cite{OAI78}}{[OAI78]}} \label{subsec:s6-shared} \begin{proposition}[The shared high-side lemmas for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$]\label{prop:s6-shared} We use items~2 and~3 of Section~\ref{sec:78status}, proved in Appendices~\ref{app:s2-hecke} and~\ref{app:s3-detector}: Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth} with the CM logarithmic control, and the detector with the label set $\mathcal X_u$ of Section~\ref{sec:78rows}. Fix $\sigma_0\in[7/8,1)$ and suppose $\beta_*>\sigma_0$. Let $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ have finite part $\eta$. Use the fixed data of~\cite[Section~6]{OAI78} for $\eta$ (the group $T$, $b_*$, $\xi$, $\tau$, $\Xi$, $W_0$, $W_1$). Take $S$ to contain also the primes dividing the conductor of $\psi$ and the primes of norm at most $P_0$, and use the weight~\eqref{eq:cm-weight}. Make three replacements in the following statements of~\cite{OAI78}: Definition~10.1, eqs.~(10.1) and~(10.2), and Lemmas~10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 11.1. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] The target $\eta$ becomes $\psi$, and ``every primitive finite-order target'' becomes ``every $\psi\in\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$''. \item[(ii)] The scalar denominators $L^S(s,\eta\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)})$ and $L_F^S(s,\eta)$ become $L^S(s,\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)})$ and $L^S(s,\psi)$. The corrections $\mathcal H_{\eta,u}$ and $H_\eta$ become $\mathcal H_{\psi,u}$ of Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-rows} and $H_\psi(s)=\mathcal H_{\psi,1}(s,1,1/6)$. \item[(iii)] Every clause about a principal target, or about a principal denominator of a unit row, is deleted. \end{enumerate} Then each of these statements holds, with the same regions $\mathcal D_1(\epsilon_0)$ and $\mathcal D_2$, the same real exponents and the same order of choices. In particular $P_0$ can be fixed before $\psi$ so that $\sup_{\Re s>7/8}|H_\psi(s)-1|\le1/2$, and $c_S>0$ is unchanged. \end{proposition} \begin{proof} The proofs in~\cite[Sections~10--11]{OAI78} use the target in exactly five ways. Every other ingredient involves no target: the Mellin weights, the Gaussian, $M(z)$, $\widehat W_1$, the kernels of Lemma~10.2, the regions, the contour geometry, the exponent $E_{\sigma_0}(d;R,g)$ of eq.~(10.15) there, and the order of choices in Lemma~11.1. \emph{(a) The correction.} The definition and the lemmas use the holomorphy of $\mathcal H_{\eta,u}$ in the two regions, the bound $\mathcal H_{\eta,u}\ll q_u^\epsilon$ for all heights, and $\mathcal H_{\eta,1}=1+O(P_0^{-4/5})$ uniformly in the unit phases (\cite[Sections~10.1 and~10.5]{OAI78}). Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-rows} gives the same three properties for $\mathcal H_{\psi,u}$. Its local bounds use $\psi(p)$ only through $|\psi(p)|=1$, so the same $P_0$, chosen before the target, gives \cite[eq.~(10.2)]{OAI78}, and $H_\psi$ is holomorphic on $\Re s>7/8$. The constant $c_S=\widehat W_1(1)M(1/6)(\operatorname{Res}_{v=1}\zeta_K^S(v))^2/6$ does not involve the target. \emph{(b) The global reciprocal bound.} On lines $\Re s=\beta_*+v$, $v\in\{e,20e\}$, the denominators are bounded by an arbitrarily small power of the conductor times a fixed polynomial in the height (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.3; proof of Lemma~10.5; proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}). \cite{OAI78} takes this from Lemma~4.9, whose global part uses only the definition of $\beta_*$, and from Lemma~4.10. The primitive character inducing $\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ lies in $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$, by closure under finite-order twists (Section~\ref{sec:78}). So its zeros have real part at most $\beta_*$. Its conductor divides the fixed conductor of $\psi$ times that of $\chi_\bullet(u)$, whose norm is $\ll q_u$ by Lemma~\ref{lem:s3-labels}(e). The deleted Euler factors lie over $S$ and the primes dividing $u$, and Lemma~4.10 only uses $|a_p|\le1$. Item~2 then gives the same bound. \emph{(c) The bin ceiling $a\le\beta_*$} (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.3]{OAI78}, from \cite[Section~8.1]{OAI78}). By item~3, the bins are formed with the label set $\mathcal X_u$. Its finite-order members have no zeros in $\Re s>7/8$ \cite[Theorem~1.1]{OAI78}, and $7/8\le\sigma_0<\beta_*$. Its other members are, after passing to primitive characters, members of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ or their conjugates. Their zeros have real part at most $\beta_*$, since $L(s,\overline{\psi'})=\overline{L(\bar s,\psi')}$. Hence $M_i(u)\le\beta_*$ and $a\le\beta_*$. \emph{(d) Principal clauses.} Three passages allow a principal character: a principal denominator for a unit row (\cite[Section~10.1; proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}), and a principal target with a pole of $L_F^S(s,\eta)$ at $s=1$ (\cite[proof of Lemma~10.5]{OAI78}). A member of $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ has infinity type $\bar z/|z|$, which is nontrivial. So neither $\psi$ nor any $\psi\overline{\chi_\bullet(u)}$ is principal, and $L(s,\psi)$ is entire (Lemma~\ref{lem:cm-growth}). These clauses are vacuous. The numerators $\chi_\bullet(u)$ do not involve the target, so the classification of $u=1$ as the only row with a principal numerator (\cite[Section~10.1]{OAI78}) is unchanged. \emph{(e) The numerators.} $L^S(w,\chi_\bullet(u))$ has finite order and does not involve the target. Lemma~4.8 and the reflected bound of the detector apply to it unchanged (\cite[Section~10.5; proof of Lemma~10.6]{OAI78}). \end{proof} \begin{lemma}[Sextic row count with CM labels]\label{lem:s6-sextic} By item~3 of Section~\ref{sec:78status} (Appendix~\ref{app:s3-detector}),~\cite[Prop.~9.2]{OAI78} holds for the rows of the CM probe, with the bins and witnesses of the detector with label set $\mathcal X_u$, the same envelope $R(\delta)=\min\{1,\max(1-\delta/2,4/3-\delta)\}$ and the same order of choices. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The proof in~\cite[proof of Proposition~9.2]{OAI78} uses the witness in three ways: through its label, which lies in a fixed finite set; through its length and lower bound, \cite[eq.~(9.17)]{OAI78}; and through the form of its coefficients. For a CM label the inverse witness of Section~\ref{sec:78rows} is \begin{equation}\label{eq:d197} M_u(D;W)=D^{-1/2}\sum_n\muk(n)\alpha(n)^{\epsilon}\theta(n)\chi_n(u)^{\epsilon}W(\N(n)/D), \qquad\epsilon=\pm1,\ \theta\in\Theta_0 . \end{equation} Freeze $v=\upsilon s_{\mathfrak s}w$ as in~\cite[proof of Proposition~9.2]{OAI78}. The exact identity $\chi_n(u)^\epsilon=\chi_n(v)^\epsilon\chi_n(k)^\epsilon$ (\cite[eq.~(9.20)]{OAI78}) makes the row sum that of~\cite[Lemma~9.1]{OAI78}. Its coefficients are $c_n=D^{-1/2}\muk(n)\alpha(n)^\epsilon\theta(n)\chi_n(v)^\epsilon W(\N(n)/D)$. These do not depend on the residual row $k$, and $\sum_n|c_n|^2\ll1$ because $|\alpha(n)|=1$. The sieve allows arbitrary coefficients. The remaining steps do not involve the coefficients: the count of powerful parts, the Sobolev step in the profile parameters, and the optimization \cite[eq.~(9.24)]{OAI78}. The label set is still finite, of size at most $4|\Theta_0|$. \end{proof} The sieve does not see the orientation of a label. Co-orientation (Section~\ref{sec:78rows}) matters only for the inverse and plain moments of Section~\ref{sec:78moments}, which Part~I of~\cite{OAI78} does not use. \paragraph{The route of~\cite{OAI78}.} Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared} and Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-sextic} also give a second proof of Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112}, following~\cite{OAI78}. It needs one further input: the unmarked completed-row moment at equal lengths, \begin{equation}\label{eq:d198} \sum_{0<\N(m)\le C_mZ}\Bigl|\mathcal C^{(2)}_{V_{\rm G}}(Z;m,\nu)\Bigr|^2\ll Z^{1+\varepsilon}. \end{equation} Here $\mathcal C^{(2)}$ is~\cite[eq.~(5.30)]{OAI78} with $\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}^{\,2}$ in place of $\overline{\alpha(cn^3)}$, $\nu$ runs over the fixed family $\nu_\sigma\theta$, and $V_{\rm G}$ is the Gaussian test of~\cite{OAI78}. This is Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-completed} with $Q=Z$. Its proof needs item~1 of Section~\ref{sec:78status} in its unmarked form: a general modulus supported on $S$ and the non-compact test $V_{\rm G}$. The steps are then as follows. \begin{enumerate} \item Suppose $\Delta_1=\beta_*-11/12>0$. \item The low estimate of~\cite[Prop.~6.3]{OAI78} gives $|I_\psi(Z^{1/2},Z^{1/2},Z)|\ll Z^{1/4+\varepsilon}$: Cauchy--Schwarz in \cite[eq.~(6.2)]{OAI78}, the moment above, and \cite[Lemma~6.2]{OAI78}, which does not involve the target. \item The Poisson representation is Proposition~\ref{prop:cm-rows}. \item The detector is item~3, and the row count is Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-sextic}. \item The central estimate \cite[eq.~(10.12)]{OAI78} holds with the same $E_{\mathrm I}(d)$. It uses the bin ceiling $\delta\le2\beta_*-1=5/6+2\Delta_1$ from part~(c) of the proof of Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared}, and gives the margin $m_c=1021/25000$. \item The principal and outer rows are handled by Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared}, with margins $1/40$, $1/1200$, $43/300$ and more than $1$. \item \cite[Prop.~11.2]{OAI78} then holds verbatim: $|J_{\mathrm I,\psi}-f_{\mathrm I,\psi}|\ll_\psi Z^{C_{\mathrm I}(\beta_*)-1/4800}$. \item The continuation criterion, which holds for $\mathcal F_{\rm CM}$ (Section~\ref{sec:78}), with $\sigma_0=11/12$, $C=C_{\mathrm I}$, $\omega=\Delta_1/2$ and $\sigma=1/4800$, contradicts $\Delta_1>0$. \end{enumerate} The transfer to Dirichlet $L$-functions is not needed. This route needs items~1 (unmarked), 2 and~3. The proof in Section~\ref{subsec:s6-twist} needs none of them; its only new input is Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-reflection}, which is proved above from~\cite[App.~A.2]{OAI1112}. That lemma is the part of item~1 that concerns the modulus, for compactly supported tests. \paragraph{Summary.} Theorem~\ref{thm:s6-1112} is proved in Section~\ref{subsec:s6-twist}. The proof uses Part~I of these notes and the steps of~\cite{OAI1112} for a general twist and a general excluded set (Lemmas~4.4, 5.3, 6.3 and~6.6, Section~7, App.~A.2). It also uses Hecke's theorem~\cite{Hec20} and the prime number theorem~\cite{Lan03}. Proposition~\ref{prop:s6-shared} and Lemma~\ref{lem:s6-sextic} use items~2 and~3, proved in Appendices~\ref{app:s2-hecke} and~\ref{app:s3-detector}; the second route also uses the unmarked part of item~1 (Lemma~\ref{lem:s1-unmarked}). \paragraph{Numerical checks.} We checked the new identities numerically. \begin{itemize} \item \emph{The paired identities over $\mathfrak G_S$.} We took $\nu$ of order $12$ modulo $\pi=4+3\omega$ (norm $13$), and worked on the quotient $(\OO/4\OO)^\times\times(\OO/\pi)^\times$ of $\mathfrak G_S$, through which $G$, $\mathcal R$, $\chi_\bullet(-1)$ and $\nu$ factor. The forward identity~\eqref{eq:b2-forward} with $\xi_1=\overline\nu$ and the reverse identity~\eqref{eq:b2-reverse} hold as literal sums over all $144$ characters, with error at most $1.2\cdot10^{-14}$. \item \emph{The twisted reduction.} The exact form $\mathcal M_D=Z+\sum_\xi c_\xi(\overline\nu)\mathcal S_\xi$ of the first Poisson reduction for the twisted rows holds to relative error $1.5\cdot10^{-14}$ at $(D,H)=(120,170)$, $(120,40)$ and $(200,300)$. \item \emph{Exponents.} The exponent bookkeeping of~\cite{OAI78}, Part~I, holds in exact arithmetic: $E_{\mathrm I}(1/2)$, the comparison under the bin ceiling, $m_c$, the outer and principal margins, and the loss budget. \item \emph{Rows and characters.} For each unit $u\ne1$ the character $\chi_\bullet(u)$ is nonprincipal, and $\psi=\overline\alpha\overline\nu$ has infinity type $\bar z/|z|$ and is not of finite order. \end{itemize} \begin{thebibliography}{99} \bibitem{BGL} V.
