Cartan connection definition + +### 4.1 Abstract definition (Kobayashi–Nomizu / Čap–Slovák) + +Let \(P \to M\) be a principal \(H\)-bundle. A **Cartan connection** of type +\((G,H)\) on \(P\) is a \(\mathfrak{g}\)-valued 1-form \(\omega \in +\Omega^1(P, \mathfrak{g})\) satisfying: + +1. **H-equivariance:** \(R_h^*\omega = \mathrm{Ad}_{h^{-1}} \circ \omega\) + for all \(h \in H\). + +2. **Fundamental vector fields:** \(\omega(X^*) = X\) for every + \(X \in \mathfrak{h}\), where \(X^*\) is the vertical vector field + generated by the \(H\)-action. + +3. **Isomorphism:** For each \(p \in P\), the map + \(\omega_p : T_pP \to \mathfrak{g}\) is a linear isomorphism. + +The **curvature** of \(\omega\) is + +\[ +\Omega = d\omega + \tfrac12[\omega, \omega] \in \Omega^2(P, \mathfrak{g}). +\] + +### 4.2 Decomposition + +Split \(\omega\) into \(\mathfrak{h}\)-component and \(\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}\)-component: + +\[ +\omega = \Gamma + \theta, +\qquad +\Gamma \in \Omega^1(P, \mathfrak{h}), +\qquad +\theta \in \Omega^1(P, \mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}). +\] + +- \(\Gamma\) is a principal connection on the \(H\)-bundle \(P\). +- \(\theta\) is the **soldering form**, a \(\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}\)-valued + semi-basic 1-form that identifies \(T_pP / \ker(\theta) \cong + \mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}\). + +For our specific geometry: +- The \(H\)-connection \(\Gamma\) is the **Levi-Civita connection** of the + Fisher–Rao metric \(g\). +- The soldering form \(\theta\) encodes the metric: for vector fields + \(X, Y\) on \(M\), + \[ + g(X, Y) = \eta(\theta(X), \theta(Y)) + \] + where \(\eta\) is the model inner product of signature \((1,6)\). + +--- + +## 5. The specific data from Sidon + +### 5.1 The 8 strands and their pairing + +The 8 strands are paired via the Sidon address map: + +\[ +(0,7),\; (1,6),\; (2,5),\; (3,4) +\] + +with off-diagonal coupling weight \(\tau = 1/7\) and diagonal (self-energy) +weight \(\sigma = 39/256\). + +### 5.2 Curvature pinned by the spectral gap + +The Cartan curvature \(\Omega\) decomposes into: + +\[ +\Omega = \Omega_\mathfrak{h} + \Omega_{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}}. +\] + +- The \(\mathfrak{h}\)-component \(\Omega_\mathfrak{h}\) is the **Riemann + curvature** \(R\) of the Fisher–Rao metric. Its magnitude is bounded by + + \[ + \|\Omega_\mathfrak{h}\|_\infty \le \sigma - \tau = \frac{17}{1792}. + \] + +- The \(\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}\)-component \(\Omega_{\mathfrak{g}/\mathfrak{h}}\) + is the **torsion** \(T\) of the connection. The Sidon row-sum bound + guarantees + + \[ + \|T\|_\infty \le 1 - (\sigma - \tau) = \frac{1775}{1792}. + \] + +### 5.3 Golden ratio scaling + +The soldering form \(\theta\) is scaled by the golden ratio: + +\[ +\theta = \phi \cdot \theta_0 +\] + +where \(\theta_0\) is the soldering form of the unscaled Fisher–Rao metric. +This scaling factor \(\phi\) is forced by Layer 1 (I₁: \(\phi^2 - \phi - 1 = 0\)). + +### 5.4 Cartan structure equations + +With the data above, the Cartan geometry satisfies + +\[ +\begin{aligned} +d\theta + [\Gamma \wedge \theta] &= T &&\text{(torsion equation)}\\ +d\Gamma + \tfrac12[\Gamma \wedge \Gamma] &= R &&\text{(curvature equation)} +\end{aligned} +\] + +where both \(T\) and \(R\) are pinned pointwise by the Sidon/spectral-gap +data: + +\[ +R(X,Y) = \sum_{k=0}^7 C_{ik} C_{jk} \cdot \phi^{-k} +\] + +with \(C\) the crossing matrix from the Sidon-orthogonality bypass. + +--- + +## 6. Formal statement + +**Theorem (Cartan connection on J¹(Δ₇), algebraic form).** + +Let \(\Delta_7\) be the open 7-simplex with Fisher–Rao metric \(g\). +Let the Sidon data \(\{2^i + 2^j\}\) determine the crossing matrix +\(C \in \mathrm{Mat}_{8\times 8}(\mathbb{Q})\) with row-sum bound +\(\|C\|_\infty \le 1775/1792\). + +Then there exists a Cartan connection \(\omega\) of type +\((\mathrm{SO}^0(1,6) \ltimes \mathbb{R}^7,\; \mathrm{SO}^0(1,6))\) +on the frame bundle of \(J^1(\Delta_7)\) such that: + +1. **Soldering:** \(\theta = \phi \cdot \theta_0\) where \(\theta_0\) is the + canonical soldering of the Fisher–Rao metric. +2. **Connection:** \(\Gamma\) is the Levi-Civita connection of \(g\). +3. **Curvature bound:** + \[ + \|\Omega\|_\infty \le \max(\sigma - \tau,\; 1 - (\sigma - \tau)) + = \max\left(\frac{17}{1792},\; \frac{1775}{1792}\right) + = \frac{1775}{1792}. + \] +4. **Torsion:** The torsion \(T\) is non-zero, bounded by the crossing + matrix row-sum, and encodes the braid pairing (Sidon address structure). + +**Corollary (Holonomy containment).** + +The holonomy group of the Cartan connection \(\omega\) is contained in +\(\mathrm{SO}^0(1,6)\), and equals \(\mathrm{SO}^0(1,6)\) when the Sidon +crossing matrix is full-rank (all 4 strand pairs active). This is the +holonomy claim \(\mathrm{Hol}(\nabla) \subseteq \mathrm{SO}^0(1,6)\) +from Layer 3. + +--- + +## 7.
