Ramified Conjugate Jet

Abstract

A repeated residue eigenvalue retains the infinite power jet of its nilpotent part.

Definition 1.1 (The ramified jet records every positive residual power).

Formalization. D5/S1/Eigenstructure/RamifiedConjugateJet.ramifiedConjugateJet (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The scalar center is followed by a natural-number-indexed sequence. Index zero stores the first residual power, so the definition is an infinite sequence rather than a truncated tuple.

Theorem 1.2 (A nonzero square-zero direction realizes the golden ramified jet).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S1/Eigenstructure/RamifiedConjugateJet.exists_golden_ramified_conjugate_jet (✓ std3). ∎

Commentary.

Over ZMod 5, the upper off-diagonal matrix N is nonzero, has rank one, and satisfies N squared equals zero. Translating it by three times the identity gives a matrix whose characteristic polynomial has three as a root of multiplicity two.

The resulting jet has N as its index-zero term and N to the power k+1 at every index k. Square-zero nilpotence makes every term after index zero vanish, while preserving a nontrivial first direction.

The proof reuses the repository’s standard rank-one nilpotent matrix witness and Mathlib’s two-by-two characteristic-polynomial and root-multiplicity theorems.
