\section[Hopf-pairing maps and single-S boundary] {Hopf-pairing images, primitive caps, and the single-\texorpdfstring{\(S\)}{S} boundary} \label{p4:chap:hopf-riesz-single-s} This section constructs the permitted pairing-image and cap outputs, then tests which scalar agreements admit a state-level comparison. Figure~\ref{p4b:fig:one-holed-torus-running} is the genus-one instance to keep in view: the maps in this section act on the reduced root-of-unity fiber, and the primitive caps contract that fiber only after the pairing-induced map has been typed. Neither operation reverses the finite-stage arrows in the figure. This section separates four objects which have similar finite-root formulas but different mathematical types: \[ \begin{array}{c} \text{a strict common rootwise/Rees state},\\ \text{an honest line-valued root-product state},\\ \text{a scalar obtained only after link-functional contraction},\\ \text{a generic boundary state over a fraction field}. \end{array} \] Only the first three occur here, and they are never identified. The source constructions are organized below by the operation they support: transport, closed contraction, or a boundary-level single-\(S\) test. Half-Smith transport preserves the coefficient vector while keeping the normalization line separate. The maximal Newton-compatible pullback makes these typed maps available on closed images. The two primitive caps then select coefficient zero and identify the common scalar graph, into which the Habiro ring supplies finite-stage representatives with compatible formal and root/cap readings. The normalized single-S color is tested after contraction, while the honest line-valued root state is kept separate. The final no-go results and the exact AS0 radical mark which state-level comparisons fail and which finite quotient statement remains available. \subsection{Coefficient-preserving Hopf-pairing frames} Fix an odd prime \(p\ge5\), put \(d_p=(p-1)/2\), and write \[ \mathcal O_p=\Z[A_p],\qquad \lambda_p=1+A_p,\qquad \Lambda_p=\operatorname{diag}(1,\lambda_p,\ldots,\lambda_p^{d_p-1}). \] The exact Smith factorization in Newton coordinates and Hopf square are \[ H_pC_p=L_p\Lambda_p^2,\qquad C_p,L_p\in\operatorname{GL}_{d_p}(\mathcal O_p), \qquad H_p^2=\delta_p I. \] Let \(\mathbf d_p\) generate the normalization line with \(\mathbf d_p^2=\delta_p\), and put \(\mathbf d_p^\vee=\mathbf d_p^{-1}\). Define \[ w_{n,p}=\lambda_p^{-n}C_pe_n,\qquad g_{n,p}=\lambda_p^nL_pe_n,\qquad f_{n,p}=\mathbf d_p^\vee g_{n,p}. \] The first frame spans the saturated source \(\mathcal S_p^+\); the other two span the lowered-Hopf and raised, line-valued output lattices. Here \(C_p,L_p\) are the explicit polynomial matrices of Section~\ref{p4:chap:smith-newton}, and their GM comparison is \eqref{p4:eq:selected-frame-transition}. The division by \(\lambda_p^n\) belongs to the invariant saturation. The factor \(\mathbf d_p^\vee\) belongs to the inverse dimension line and is retained separately. \begin{lemma}[Half-Smith transport] \label{p4:lem:half-smith-transport} \[ H_pw_{n,p}=g_{n,p},\qquad \boldsymbol S_p^+w_{n,p}=f_{n,p},\qquad \boldsymbol S_p^+=\mathbf d_p^\vee H_p. \] Thus both arrows preserve the coefficient vector in their displayed typed frames. The oppositely oriented cylinder \(\boldsymbol S_p^-:f_{n,p}\mapsto w_{n,p}\) is the inverse after line contraction. \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The Smith factorization is used as a frame change: the inverse diagonal factor clears the source frame, the Hopf matrix produces the integral target frame, and the normalization line supplies the oppositely typed inverse. Thus coefficient preservation is a statement in the displayed frames, not an untyped identification of the two cylinders. Multiply \(H_pC_p=L_p\Lambda_p^2\) on the right by \(\Lambda_p^{-1}\). Its \(n\)-th column is the first identity; the second is obtained by the separately typed line generator. Finally, \((\mathbf d_p^\vee)^2H_p^2=1\). \end{proof} Let \(\mathscr C_W^T\) be the maximal Newton-compatible pullback of Theorem~\ref{p4:thm:maximal-newton-pullback}. On its formal coefficient copy the following arrows preserve coefficients; on its \(p\)-th root coordinate they apply \(H_p\) and \(\boldsymbol S_p^+\). Denote the paired maps by \(\mathcal H_{\mathrm{pair}}\) and \(\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+\), and define \[ \mathscr C_H^T=\mathcal H_{\mathrm{pair}}(\mathscr C_W^T), \qquad \mathscr C_S^T=\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+(\mathscr C_W^T). \] \begin{theorem}[Strict images of the Hopf-pairing maps] \label{p4:thm:strict-hopf-riesz-carrier} The carriers \(\mathscr C_H^T\) and \(\mathscr C_S^T\) are closed, complete, and Hausdorff, and \[ \mathcal H_{\mathrm{pair}}:\mathscr C_W^T\xrightarrow{\sim}\mathscr C_H^T, \qquad \mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+:\mathscr C_W^T\xrightarrow{\sim}\mathscr C_S^T \] are inverse bicontinuous isomorphisms onto their images. The second inverse is the oppositely oriented typed cylinder, not an untyped reuse of the same matrix. Moreover, with \(T_{\mathrm{pair}}\) from the preceding section, \[ \mathcal S_{\mathrm{mix}} =\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+T_{\mathrm{pair}}^{-1}: \mathscr C_v^{\mathrm{base}}\xrightarrow{\sim}\mathscr C_S^T \] is bicontinuous. The compatible triple graph \[ \{(u,T_{\mathrm{pair}}u,\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+u): u\in\mathscr C_W^T\} \] is maximal among graphs with source in the full strict Newton carrier and monomial coordinate in \(\mathscr C_v^{\mathrm{base}}\). \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The two Hopf-pairing maps are first checked on the displayed integral frames, where the half-Smith factors cancel coefficientwise. Their ambient product maps then transport the closed Newton-compatible pullback to closed images. The mixed map is the same comparison composed with the previously fixed Newton identification; no new rootwise choice is made at this stage. The root maps send an integral basis to an integral basis by Lemma~\ref{p4:lem:half-smith-transport}; the formal map is the identity between typed coefficient copies. Their ambient product maps are therefore homeomorphisms. They transport the closed, complete pullback \(\mathscr C_W^T\) to closed, complete images. The mixed arrow is the composition with the already proved Newton isomorphism. A source point has an admissible monomial coordinate exactly when it belongs to \(T_{\mathrm{pair}}^{-1}(\mathscr C_v^{\mathrm{base}}) =\mathscr C_W^T\), which proves maximality. \end{proof} \subsection{Primitive caps and the vacuum pair} Let \(y_p=e_0^{\mathsf T}\), define the complementary cap \(h_p=y_pH_p\), and define the identity-double cap by the line-valued row \(\widehat y_p=\mathbf d_py_p\). Let \(R^{\mathrm{all}}\subset R^{\mathrm{ev}}\) be the subring of fractions whose reduced denominators are units at every declared admissible reduced root. Let \[ \mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}} =\overline{\{(\operatorname{Taylor}_\lambda c, (\operatorname{Ev}_p c)_p):c\in R^{\mathrm{all}}\}} \subset\mathcal R_\lambda\times\prod_{p\ge5}\mathcal O_p \] be the rank-one graph of compatible formal and root/cap readings. It is not the evaluation graph of all \(\mathcal R_\lambda\). \begin{theorem}[Primitive two-cap vacuum] \label{p4:thm:primitive-two-cap-vacuum} For all active \(n\), \[ h_p(w_{n,p})=\delta_{n0},\qquad \widehat y_p(f_{n,p})=\delta_{n0}. \] The paired caps extend continuously to \[ h_W:\mathscr C_W^T\to\mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}},\qquad \widehat y_S:\mathscr C_S^T\to\mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}}, \] and obey \[ \widehat y_S\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^+=h_W,\qquad h_W\mathcal S_{\mathrm{pair}}^-=\widehat y_S. \] The vacua \[ \Omega_p^+=w_{0,p}=e_0,\qquad \Omega_p^-=\mathbf d_p^\vee H_pe_0 \] are exchanged by the typed \(S\)-cylinder and both declared caps have value one. After positive root-fiber trivialization, \[ S_{00,p}=D_p^{-1},\qquad (D_py_p)(\Omega_p^+)=D_p. \] The second displayed value remains normalization-line-valued. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The two caps both select the zeroth vector in their respective typed frames. The graph of compatible formal and root/cap readings makes that coefficient compatible between the formal and finite-root coordinates, and continuity extends the finite calculation to the closed carriers. The scalar \(S_{00}\) value appears only after the positive root-fiber trivialization of the normalization line. The constructed zeroth column \(C_pe_0=e_0\) and row \(e_0^TL_p=e_0^T\) fix \(y_pL_p\Lambda_p=e_0^{\mathsf T}\). Hence \[ y_pH_pC_p\Lambda_p^{-1}=e_0^{\mathsf T}, \qquad \mathbf d_py_p(\mathbf d_p^\vee L_p\Lambda_p)=e_0^{\mathsf T}. \] On formal coefficients the caps select label zero. On finite-stage representatives with compatible formal and root/cap readings that coefficient lies in the all-incidence-safe ring, so the values land in \(\mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}}\); continuity extends the caps to the closures. Since \(H_{p,00}=1\), the \(S_{00}\) formulas follow. \end{proof} In the monomial chart the cap has a particularly useful closed formula. \begin{theorem}[Common monomial cap] \label{p4:thm:common-monomial-cap} \leavevmode\newline For a finite monomial vector \(Y=\sum_kc_kv^k\), \[ \varepsilon_v(Y)=\sum_kc_k\left(\frac{\lambda}{A}\right)^k \] is the zeroth Newton coefficient of \(T_{\mathrm{pair}}^{-1}Y\). It extends uniquely to a continuous map \(\mathscr C_v^{\mathrm{base}}\to\mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}}\). Formally it is the convergent series above; physically it evaluates the already formed finite quotient class at \[ v=\rho_{0,p}=1-q_p^{-1}=\frac{\lambda_p}{A_p}. \] No completed formal series is evaluated termwise at a root. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} The row-zero inverse divided difference supplies the powers of \(\lambda/A\), and their positive \(\lambda\)-order controls convergence on the truncation-dense coefficient module. At an admissible reduced root, evaluation is performed only on the finite quotient. Agreement on the dense finite common core then extends the formal and root-specialized cap maps to the common closure. The row-zero inverse divided difference is \(\eta_0^k\), where \(\eta_0=(A+A^{-1}+2)/(1+A)=\lambda/A\). Its positive \(\lambda\)-order gives uniform convergence and continuity on \(c_0\). At an admissible reduced root, \(\rho_{0,p}\) is a root of the quotient polynomial, so evaluation is well defined on the finite quotient. The two maps agree on the dense finite common core and therefore extend uniquely to its closure. \end{proof} \subsection{The Habiro ring inside the scalar graph} Let \[ \widehat{\Z[q]}_{\mathrm H} =\varprojlim_N\Z[q]/((q)_N),\qquad (q)_N=\prod_{j=1}^N(1-q^j), \] with \(q=-A\) and \(\lambda=1-q\). \begin{theorem}[Habiro-to-common scalar embedding] \label{p4:thm:habiro-common-embedding} The map \[ j_{\mathrm H}(f)= \left(\iota_\lambda(f), (\operatorname{Ev}_{q_p}f)_{p\ge5}\right) \] is a continuous injective ring homomorphism \(\widehat{\Z[q]}_{\mathrm H}\to\mathscr C_{\mathrm{sc}}\). For every requested Taylor order and finite set of primes, one polynomial representative supplies both approximations. \end{theorem} \begin{proof} Modulo \((q)_m\), choose a polynomial representative \(a_m(q)\). Since \((q)_m=\lambda^m u_m(\lambda)\), its Taylor error has order at least \(m\). If a root has order at most \(m\), one factor of \((q)_m\) vanishes there, so the same representative is exact at that root. Taking \(m\) larger than the requested Taylor order and all selected root orders gives the required finite-stage representative. Habiro's injective Taylor theorem makes \(j_{\mathrm H}\) injective. \end{proof} For \(N\ge1\), define the shell polynomial \[ g_N(q)=\frac{\prod_{j=N+1}^{2N+1}(q^j-1)}{q-1}. \] It has exact \(\lambda\)-order \(N\), is divisible by \((q)_N\), and vanishes at a primitive \(p\)-th root once \(N\ge(p-1)/2\). The exact leading term is \[ g_N(1-\lambda)=(-1)^N\frac{(2N+1)!}{N!}\lambda^N +O(\lambda^{N+1}). \] The literal finite approximants used below arise from Habiro's uniform positive twist color on a surgery link. We therefore isolate the class of integral homology spheres admitting an algebraically split all-$(-1)$-framed presentation before stating the approximation theorem. \begin{definition}[All-negative Hoste sector] \label{p4:def:all-negative-hoste-sector} An all-negative admissible presentation is an algebraically split link \(L^-\subset S^3\) with every framing \(-1\). Its linking matrix is \(-I\), and its surgery manifold is an integral homology sphere. This sector consists only of manifolds admitting such a presentation. \end{definition} Let \(\omega_{+,d_{\kappa}\). Expand each regular test color generically as a finite linear combination of \(V_m\)'s, then use Habiro's generic identity \[ V_m=\sum_{a=0}^m \begin{bmatrix}m+a+1\\2a+1\end{bmatrix}_{v}\{a\}_v!\,P'_a . \] Habiro's colored-link divisibility applies to the resulting integral generic colored-Jones expression: up to a Laurent unit it is divisible by \[ G_h(q)=\frac{\prod_{s=h+1}^{2h+1}(q^s-1)}{q-1}, \] where \(h\ge n\) is the maximum \(P'\)-index. If \(h<\kappa\), then \(h+1\le \kappa\le2h+1\); if \(h\ge \kappa\), the interval of \(h+1\) consecutive integers contains a multiple of \(\kappa\). Thus \(\operatorname{Ev}_{\kappa}(G_h)=0\). The original test denominators are root units, so every declared functional kills \(p_n\). This argument specializes the divisible integral expression, not any individual high \(P'_a\), whose factorial denominator may vanish. \emph{Low coordinates are detected.} Conversely, the Borromean rings with the regular colors \(p_i,p_i\) give \[ J_{\mathrm{Bor}}(P'_i,P'_i,P'_n)=\delta_{in}\lambda_i, \qquad \lambda_i=(-1)^i \frac{\prod_{s=i+1}^{2i+1}(v^s-v^{-s})}{v-v^{-1}}, \] and \(\operatorname{Ev}_{\kappa}(\lambda_i)\ne0\) for \(i\le d_{\kappa}\). Expanding a radical vector in the basis of Lemma~\ref{p4:lem:specialized-p-prime-basis}, these tests force all its coefficients through \(d_{\kappa}\) to vanish. This proves the first equality and the dimension formula. \emph{Representation-gauge generators.} The specialized coefficients of \(P'_i\) in \(V_j\) are invariant under \(j\mapsto k-j\) for \(i\le d_{\kappa}\), since \(\{\kappa-r\}=\{r\}\). Hence every \(V_{k-j}-V_j\) belongs to the radical; one relation per nontrivial orbit is independent, and their number equals the radical dimension, proving the second equality. \emph{Failure of \(S\)- and \(T\)-stability.} For failure of \(S\)-stability, put \(r_0=V_k-V_0\). Up to a nonzero common scalar, \[ (Sr_0)_i=\bigl((-1)^i-1\bigr) \sin\!\left(\frac{(i+1)\pi}{\kappa}\right). \] The orbit containing \(V_1\) gives a nonzero quotient coordinate for odd \(\kappa\), for even \(\kappa\ge6\), and at \(\kappa=4\); the same formula gives a nonzero quotient class at \(\kappa=3\). Thus \(Sr_0\) is not radical. For \(T\), \[ [T(V_{k-j}-V_j)]=(\theta_{k-j}-\theta_j)[V_j], \qquad \frac{\theta_{k-j}}{\theta_j} =\exp\!\left(\frac{\pi i(\kappa-2-2j)}2\right). \] Take \(j=0\), except when \(\kappa\equiv2\pmod4\), where \(j=1\) is an allowed nontrivial orbit for \(\kappa\ge6\) and the ratio is \(-1\). The quotient class is nonzero in every case, so the radical is not \(T\)-stable. \end{proof} The resulting quotient records exactly the closed link functionals used to test the colors. Its failure to be preserved by $S$ and $T$ is therefore a failure of torus-state transport, not a failure of the contracted scalar functional; the latter remains a separate closed observable with its own cap. \begin{scopefirewall}[Regular-color specialization] \label{p4:firewall:regular-colour-specialization} The inclusion proof above does not specialize arbitrary high \(P'_a\) coefficientwise: its factorial denominator can vanish at a \(\kappa\)-th root. It first forms Habiro's integral generic colored-Jones expression, uses its \(G_h(q)\)-divisibility, and only then specializes. This is why the other link components are restricted to regular test colors. \end{scopefirewall} \begin{scopefirewall}[State, scalar, and generic targets] \label{p4:firewall:state-scalar-generic} The line-valued root-product single-\(S\) state exists. Its contracted all-negative Hoste scalar exists and lies in the common Habiro graph. The same state does not lie in the strict rootwise/Rees \(c_0\) module, and scalar Galois transport is not state-natural. None of these statements constructs or obstructs the later fraction-field generic stated-skein state: that is a different carrier with a cap defined only after geometric closure. \end{scopefirewall}
