Abstract
Paper 77 derived the exact root identity
where
and
It therefore opened F-RH-024: prove a fixed-power upper bound for the renormalized Vaughan defect.
The present paper determines the exact Dirichlet-series spectrum of the renormalized coefficient.
Define
and
Let
Then
Since for
and
the Dirichlet series of the balanced coefficient is
Write
and
Paper 77's scalar counterterm can be written coefficientwise as
Indeed,
Its Dirichlet series is
Therefore the renormalized coefficient
has Dirichlet series
The first main theorem is that the renormalization removes exactly the pole at .
Near
while has precisely the same principal part.
Thus
But no nontrivial zeta-zero pole is removed.
If is a zero of of multiplicity , then
and
Since
one obtains
This residue is independent of and .
Equivalently,
where has no pole at any nontrivial zero of .
An explicit formula is
Thus, coefficientwise,
where is a Type-I prime approximant whose Dirichlet series has no nontrivial zeta-zero poles.
The residue of is , so has the correct first-order mean to approximate the constant coefficient .
This gives a conceptual form of Paper 77's exact identity:
renormalized Vaughan balanced coefficient
=
zero-pole-free Type-I prime approximant
minus the actual von Mangoldt coefficient.
The RH-sensitive part is therefore parameter-invariant.
For any two parameter choices
has no nontrivial zeta-zero poles.
All choices carry the same universal
hard core.
Hence optimizing Vaughan parameters may improve the Type-I error budget, but it cannot remove or weaken the boundary zero spectrum.
The second main result is a central cross-Gram calibration.
Let
and define the smoothed renormalized coefficient transform
Let the smoothed prime-error transform be
Paper 73 gives the boundary response
where
The residue theorem above gives the opposite response
Therefore the rightmost-zero diagonal in their central cross-energy is negative.
Assume the rightmost abscissa
is attained.
Set
Define
Then logarithmic-scale orthogonality gives
Thus the renormalized balanced coefficient is anti-aligned with the prime error on the rightmost zero diagonal.
Off-diagonal zero pairs cannot remove this contribution on all logarithmic scales.
The fixed-power size is
At a saturated PESC boundary,
this is exactly
Therefore the spectral sector of F-RH-024 is genuinely root-critical.
This does not make F-RH-024 useless. Its value is that has a highly specific ordinary-factorization realization.
But it closes two naive routes.
Generic Titchmarsh/divisor-shift transfer
Power-saving Titchmarsh-type theorems apply to coefficients such as , , automorphic coefficients, or other dense multiplicative sequences whose Dirichlet series do not carry a universal pole at every zeta zero.
The renormalized coefficient is not in that spectral class.
A power-saving theorem for its shifted-prime correlation would already be RH-level horizontal information.
Existing shifted-prime anatomy transfer
Ford's shifted-prime Kubilius model gives a strong total-variation approximation for the prime factors of below a cutoff .
The approximation becomes asymptotically sharp in the regime
The paper explicitly notes that the distribution of the large prime factors of shifted primes is not well understood.
F-RH-024 requires balanced polynomial factorization:
with bounded away from and in the genuinely Type-II blocks.
Thus current anatomy transference does not reach the required factor range.
The Campaign-47 conclusion is:
F-RH-024 remains the preferred root arithmetic frontier.
Its s=1 main is fully renormalized.
Its nontrivial zero spectrum is not renormalized at all.
Vaughan parameter optimization cannot remove the hard spectrum.
Generic prime-times-divisor power-saving theorems do not apply automatically.
Current shifted-prime factor-anatomy theorems control only the small-factor regime, not balanced polynomial factors.
The next task is therefore to dyadically localize the ordinary-factorization source of the universal zero pole and determine which polynomial factor blocks carry the rightmost-zero mass.
That is a concrete arithmetic question.
No RH theorem is claimed.

Therefore
This recovers the exact root bridge and shows where the universal pole enters.
9. Smoothed zero response
Fix
Let
The prime error has rightmost-zero response

11. Critical exponent
The cross-Gram boundary scale is
Relative to the natural root scale
the saving exponent is
At a saturated PESC boundary,
this equals
Therefore F-RH-024 asks for a strict fixed-power improvement over an explicitly present boundary diagonal.
That is genuine horizontal zero-strip progress.
12. Titchmarsh/divisor-shift calibration
Power-saving shifted-convolution theorems are available for many dense divisor-like coefficients.
For example, Drappeau obtains power-saving errors in Titchmarsh-divisor problems using Kloosterman-sum dispersion; in the prime-times-divisor case a fixed-power error is obtained under GRH for Dirichlet -functions.
Uniform Titchmarsh variants also exploit divisor or automorphic structure.
These results demonstrate that a factorized coefficient can be analytically easier than a second prime.
But is spectrally different from or a generic divisor coefficient:
contains a universal pole at every nontrivial zeta zero.
Therefore a direct transfer of existing prime-times-divisor power-saving theorems is not justified.
External calibration:
- Drappeau, Sums of Kloosterman sums in arithmetic progressions, and the error term in the dispersion method;
- Assing–Blomer–Li, Uniform Titchmarsh divisor problems.
13. Shifted-prime factor-anatomy calibration
Ford's shifted-prime Kubilius model proves a total-variation approximation between the small prime factors of shifted primes and an independent probabilistic model.
Theorem 1 gives
where
For the error to tend rapidly to zero from the first term, one needs
equivalently
The paper explicitly states that the distribution of the large prime factors of shifted primes is not well understood.
F-RH-024 instead contains balanced polynomial factors
Thus current shifted-prime anatomy results do not control the decisive balanced range.

14. Consequence for Campaign 47
Paper 77 solved the extraction problem.
Paper 78 now shows that extraction does not spectrally soften the root.
The next arithmetic theorem must therefore exploit the specific coefficient realization
not merely its mean, Fourier norm, or generic divisor-boundedness.
In particular:
DO NOT:
optimize U,V hoping to remove the zero pole;
apply a generic prime-times-divisor theorem;
replace balanced polynomial factorization by small-factor anatomy.
DO:
dyadically decompose e and k;
derive the exact dyadic portion of the counterterm;
identify which balanced factor ranges carry the universal zero-pole mass;
search for ordinary-factorization cancellation specifically in those ranges.

No RH certificate is created.
16. Recommended next action
The next round should derive a dyadic decomposition
of
and a matching dyadic partition of the coefficientwise counterterm
The goal is to identify the smallest set of polynomial factor exponents
which can carry the universal rightmost-zero pole.
If the pole mass can be forced into a restricted balanced range, that range becomes the next explicit Campaign-47 arithmetic target.
If every polynomial range can independently carry it, the factorization route reaches a stronger distributed parity wall.
17. Conclusion
Vaughan renormalization removes the complete main pole at .
It removes none of the nontrivial zeta-zero poles.
Every parameter choice shares the same hard core.
The balanced coefficient is therefore not a generic divisor coefficient; it is a composite-supported arithmetic realization of the opposite prime zero spectrum.
This explains both the promise and the difficulty of F-RH-024.
The next progress must come from the ordinary polynomial factorization itself.
