MI-07: a counterexample to the triangle conjecture for the maximal symmetric modulus

Recorded by the registry's curators from GitHub; the authors did not submit it here.

George Stepaniants

Proves genuine complex matrix moduli, positive-integer CFC root-sequence limits at all witness matrices, the true spectral-norm topology bridge, an all-unitary trace obstruction, and the full original constant-one conjecture negation.
