Original claim text

An INDEPENDENT (topological) reading of the edge central charge c_-=8 (2026-06-30) -- corroborating v444/SEAM.EQUIV.CONTINUUM.EDGE.01 from a different observable. v444 read c_- from the CORRELATOR exponent (eta=1); this module reads the SAME c_-=8 from the bulk TOPOLOGY (Chern number) + the bulk-edge correspondence, a robust integer that does not depend on any fit, on the same v367/v368 p+ip collar. [E] INTEGER CHERN NUMBER: the M=1 collar lower band has Chern C=+1 by the Fukui-Hatsugai-Suzuki lattice link-variable method (an EXACT integer on the discretised BZ, no fit) -- one chiral channel per copy. [E] TRIVIAL-PHASE NEG CONTROL: M=3 (v368) has C=0 (no chiral edge); M=-1 gives C=-1 (opposite chirality, consistent with v444's opposite per-edge velocities). [E] BULK-EDGE CORRESPONDENCE: the open strip has EXACTLY |C|=1 in-gap edge branch crossing zero per boundary in the M=1 phase, 0 in the trivial phase -- the chiral edge channel count = |C|. [E] LI-HALDANE ENTANGLEMENT SIGNATURE: the half-cut bulk ground state's single-particle entanglement spectrum has in-gap modes at 1/2 in the topological phase and NONE in the trivial -- the entanglement edge tracks the physical edge. [C] EDGE CENTRAL CHARGE: c_- = N_Maj*(1/2)*|C| = 16*(1/2)*1 = 8 = g_car+N_fam, from the Chern integer + bulk-edge correspondence -- the SAME c_-=8 as v444's correlator route, from a logically independent topological observable. [C]/[O] VERDICT: v444's edge c_-=8=(E8)_1 reading is corroborated by an independent topological invariant; SEAM.EQUIV.01 stays [O] -- the topology fixes the edge central charge and channel count but does not supply the cited continuum existence theorem.

These document locations are recorded directly on the ledger row. They are document level navigation, rather than a newly inferred section citation.

Sections that explicitly cite this claim

A literal claim identifier is present in these paper sections. The section and its premises determine what the citation supports.

Navigation through a shared verification script

These sections cite a script associated with the claim. This is a source navigation join, rather than an explicit citation of the claim or a theorem equivalence.

    SEAM.EQUIV.EDGE.CHERN.01: an INDEPENDENT (topological) reading of the edge c_-=8, corroborating v444's correlator route via the bulk-edge correspondence on the same v367/v368 collar. [E] INTEGER CHERN NUMBER: the M=1 collar lower band has Chern C=+1 (Fukui-Hatsugai-Suzuki lattice link-variable method, an EXACT integer, no fit). [E] TRIVIAL-PHASE NEG CONTROL: M=3 (v368) has C=0; M=-1 has C=-1 (opposite chirality, matching v444). [E] BULK-EDGE CORRESPONDENCE: the open strip has EXACTLY |C|=1 in-gap edge branch per boundary (0 trivial). [E] LI-HALDANE: the half-cut bulk ground state's entanglement spectrum has in-gap modes at 1/2 in the topological phase, none trivial. [C] EDGE CENTRAL CHARGE: c_-=N_Maj*(1/2)*|C|=16*(1/2)*1=8=g_car+N_fam, from the Chern integer -- the SAME c_-=8 as v444 from an independent observable. [C]/[O] corroborates v444's (E8)_1 reading; SEAM.EQUIV.01 stays [O]. Python-only (numpy).
