The Latent Theory of Fusion Plasma Confinement
**Methodological contribution.** Alongside the physics result below, this paper establishes a reproducible standard for *kernel-verified derived physics* that we argue is portable across domains in which classical analytic derivations have hardened into opaque community consensus. The standard has four requirements.

Dimension-Independent Finiteness of Central Configurations for Positive Masses
We prove that for any $N \geq 3$ bodies with positive masses in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d \geq 2$), the number of central configurations modulo similarity is finite, resolving Smale's 6th Problem in **every spatial dimension $d \geq 2$ simultaneously**.

Turbulence Scaling Laws from the Grade Equation: Kolmogorov Spectrum and Intermittency from Analyticity
We derive the Kolmogorov energy spectrum $E(k) \sim \varepsilon^{2/3} k^{-5/3}$ and anomalous intermittency corrections to the structure function exponents $\zeta_p$ from the Grade Equation — a universal structural decomposition theorem for analytic dynamical systems. The derivation proceeds in three steps.

Contaminated by Construction: Separating Simulation Noise from Model Risk in ES Backtests
Expected Shortfall backtesting under Basel III/IV suffers from an unmeasured structural weakness: Monte Carlo estimation of ES injects computational noise into the Acerbi-Székely (2014) test statistic, but the magnitude of this contamination has not

Deterministic Portfolio VaR Without Monte Carlo: The Eigen-COS Method
We present the Eigen-COS method, a deterministic algorithm that computes exact Value-at-Risk, closed-form Expected Shortfall, and the full CDF/PDF for weighted sums of correlated lognormal assets — without Monte Carlo simulation.

Kernel-Verified Derived Physics: a Transferable Standard for Auditable Derivations with Pre-Registered Predictions
Derived-physics laws — the Rechester–Rosenbluth stochastic-field-line transport law, the Debye electrostatic screening length, the Clausius–Clapeyron integrated vapour-pressure equation, the Einstein chirp mass from the stationary-phase approximation

Grade Decomposition and Gevrey Regularity for Navier-Stokes: A Machine-Checked Path to the Millennium Prize
We introduce a grade decomposition of the Gevrey energy balance for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and formalize a complete three-phase regularity proof path in the Lean 4 proof assistant.

Full-Tail Backtesting: Beyond Pointwise Validation for Expected Shortfall
Every existing Expected Shortfall backtest evaluates a risk model at a single confidence level. This paper introduces four backtesting methods that test the entire tail distribution simultaneously — methods that are structurally impossible without exact closed-form computation of the CDF and density.

Applied Knowledge Algebra: A Collection of Demonstrations and Use Cases
The companion methods paper (Nagy 2026a) defines the Knowledge Artifact — a portable spectral representation of trained model knowledge — and the Knowledge Algebra — exact arithmetic on compatible artifacts.

Grade Decomposition and Gevrey Regularity for Navier-Stokes: A Machine-Checked Conditional Framework
We introduce a grade decomposition of the Gevrey energy balance for the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. The physically correct model uses $\mathbb{C}$-valued Fourier coefficients with a factor of $i$ in the advection; the real-coefficient model trivializes all grade-3 terms.

The Riemann Hypothesis via Berry-Keating Spectral Construction
We prove the Riemann Hypothesis conditional on a single operator-theoretic hypothesis: that the Berry-Keating Hamiltonian $H = \frac{1}{2}(xp + px)$ admits a self-adjoint realization $\hat{H}$ with discrete spectrum whose eigenvalues are the imaginar

The Spectral Volatility Surface
We construct a low-rank arbitrage-aware volatility surface with $O(rm)$ parameters and closed-form COS reuse for pricing and Greeks. Total implied variance is expressed as a finite cosine series in log-moneyness, $w(k, T) = c(T) + \sum_j u_j(T)\cos(\omega_j k)$, with $r = 6$–$12$ modes per maturity.

Neural Scaling Laws Formalized: Why Chinchilla Works (A Machine-Verified Derivation)
Neural scaling laws — the empirical observation that test loss decreases as a power law in compute budget — are the foundation of modern AI training strategy. Every major laboratory trains billion-dollar models by extrapolating scaling curves, yet *why* these power laws hold remains unexplained.

Adam's Convergence Proof Was Wrong: A Machine-Checked Verification of the Bug and the Fix
Adam (Kingma & Ba, 2015) is deep learning's most-cited optimizer, with over 100,000 citations and native implementation in every major framework: TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, Keras. Its original convergence proof — Theorem 4.1, published at ICLR 2015 — claimed $R_T = O(\sqrt{T})$ regret on convex problems.
