S*^b records logarithmic losses, which are harmless. δ^(−d) records the losses from differentiating near the shell edges, since derivatives of the flat weight produce inverse powers of the log distance. ζ for means, and √ζ for waves (whose squares are means), record flat vanishing at the edges, inherited from the flat stress weight of Theorem 4.6. Pv records the temporal envelope of a pulse. Amplitudes are differentiated with e^(ikmΦ) factored out, so derivatives of the phase, which carry an explicit factor km, are tracked separately. Moments depend only on (Z, T) and include the radial measure in their normalization, so radial integration fits the scaling.",

Because k pγ is a nonzero integer, ⟨aγ,m aγ,m′ e^(ik(m+m′)Φγ)⟩θ equals aγ,m aγ,m′ if m + m′ = 0 and 0 otherwise, so a single nonzero harmonic has zero angular mean. The cost table follows from (6.6). The coordinate coefficients of Dr, including the fast term Mi dr R^(dr−1) Li, are bounded by C ε^(−κs) S*^C. Dz and −ε∂T carry an explicit ε. The fast time derivative has coefficient c_(i0) ≍ S*^(−1). Switching between band and common tori adds only bounded matrices (Lemma 6.2). Cross-label products vanish by Lemma 6.1 once the time cutoff has given smooth extension.",

The positivity λ0^2 > 0, equivalent to vs > 2 (the extra inequality that Section 4, p. 31, adds to the relaxed cone for the sake of the viscous waves), is what makes pulses grow at all. Without a strict margin no finite u∗ exists; without λ0^2 > 0 there is no amplification.",
"backward_question": "Which momentum fluxes can a growing viscous wave on a swirling, axially sheared column carry, and can the required leading stress be placed strictly inside that set with a margin that survives freezing the frame at one point per slow box?",
"mechanism": "In the tangential (θ, z) plane, N points along the base shear and K across it. Energy exchange between a wave and the base is -g0·T = -|g0|TN (M7.8), so a wave that grows by drawing energy from the shear can only carry stresses with TN < 0; the energy-neutral component TK must be steered by tilting the wavevector. With T0 = F(ps - s) and s = (a, -bs) one has N = -s/|s|, T0·N = -Fa(Pc - vs)/|s| and (T0·K)/(T0·N) = Jc/(Pc - vs), so (7.1) is literally (4.22) once c0^2 = (vs - 2)/2 is inserted. The two pulses of M7.9 produce covariance directions -AcN ∓ u∗K with Ac = |c0|√(1 + u∗^2); their positive cone has half-opening ratio u∗/Ac, which increases to 1/|c0| as u∗ grows, so the strict inequality |c0 TK/TN| < 1 is exactly what lets some finite u∗ capture the stress.

(Digest's rewriting, not stated in the manuscript: with Nθ = R∂RF/|g0|, Ω = F, V = RF, Γ = R^2F, one gets λ0^2 = -2V∂RΩ(∂RΩ ∂RΓ + (∂RG)^2)/((R∂RΩ)^2 + (∂RG)^2), positive exactly when V∂RΩ(∂RΩ ∂RΓ + (∂RG)^2) < 0, which is the Leibovich-Stewartson sufficient condition, and Rayleigh's criterion when ∂RG = 0.)",

Its coefficient -(pF + pzG) in Φ cancels F∂θΦ + GDzΦ, so the phase is carried by the local rotation and axial flow; what survives in Eik is εv(∂T HΦ - G∂Z HΦ) + b nΦ,r with HΦ = pF + pzG, each term carrying ε or b = O(ε). Because F and G vary in R, the radial component of nΦ changes linearly in v at rate -(p/R, pz)·g: wave crests are sheared by differential rotation and axial shear. The tangential wavevector is taken almost along K (perpendicular to the shear, so tilting is slow) plus a small part -σu∗g0/(Ls|g0|^2) along g0; before rounding (p/R0, pz)·g0 = -σBsu∗/Ls, so nΦ,r = Bs s(v) runs from σBsu∗/2 to 3σBsu∗/2 over a pulse. The magnitude Bs is tuned so growth and damping balance at the midpoint (M7.5). The choice k = ⌈ε^{-1/2}⌉ makes the viscous coefficient εk^2|nΦ|^2 of order one; physically the carrier wavelength √Q/k ≍ Q^{1/2+h/2} times the wave amplitude Q^{-1/2-h/2} is of order one, a wave Reynolds number of order one (p. 81). Rounding kp costs O(k^{-1}) ≤ ε^{1/2}, which multiplied by v = O(S∗) stays below C/S∗ once S∗^2(ε + ε^2 + k^{-1}) ≤ 1.",

Damping is a scalar multiple of the identity, so the m-th propagator is the m = 1 propagator times exp(-(m^2 - 1)∫d), a factor at most one: higher harmonics are only more damped, and no smaller domain is needed as harmonics accumulate. For m = 1, ∂v|z| ≤ (λ - dref + C/S∗)|z|, and since Ls/S∗ is bounded this integrates to ||V1(v, w)|| ≤ C P(v)/P(w). In Duhamel's formula the factor P(w) in the source cancels the denominator, so the response carries P(v) times one factor Ls = O(S∗). Coefficient derivatives commute with ∂v and obey (7.20), handled by induction with polynomial losses in S∗. The solution runs along the path Hw of (6.21) on the common torus, which holds slow and transverse variables fixed, so uniqueness for zero data gives descent and support preservation without identifying values at distinct preimages. Finally (nΦ·tm)' = -m^2 d(nΦ·tm) propagates the constraint from zero data, and the pressure formula reproduces the normal part of (7.5).",
