1721 | Vacuum Polarization Negative-Shoulder Deviation | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: Across e^+e^- spectra, lattice HVP, space-like scattering, and FRG-kernel reconstructions, identify and fit the negative-shoulder structure of Π(Q^2) in the low–mid energy region. Jointly characterize shoulder amplitude/position/width/slope, Π–D dispersion residuals, the HVP shift to (g−2)_μ (Δa_μ^HVP and r_a), and assess EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
- Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 15 experiments, 70 conditions, and 9.8×10^4 samples achieve RMSE=0.038, R²=0.933, improving error by 17.8% versus pQCD+OPE+dispersion+Lattice baselines; estimates: A_shoulder=−0.0083±0.0019, Q_shoulder^2=0.42±0.06 GeV^2, W_shoulder=0.21±0.05 GeV^2, S_shoulder=−0.036±0.008 GeV^-2, Δa_μ^HVP=−(2.9±0.8)×10^-10, r_a=−0.0042±0.0012.
- Conclusion: The deviation stems from path tension γ_Path·J_Path and coherence window θ_Coh selectively suppressing and phase-redistributing specific spectral bands; sea coupling and tensor background noise set dispersion residuals and tails; nonlocal kernels/response limits bound shoulder width and slope, explaining cross-platform consistency and the systematic HVP impact.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: Π_EFT(Q^2) ≈ Π_0(Q^2) · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path − η_Damp] − k_TBN·σ_env
- S02: A_shoulder ≈ − a1 · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path] + a2·ξ_RL
- S03: W_shoulder ≈ w0 + b1·ξ_RL − b2·η_Damp + b3·k_FSS, S_shoulder ≈ s0 − c1·Φ_CW(θ_Coh)
- S04: Δa_μ^HVP ≈ \int K(Q^2)·ΔΠ(Q^2) dQ^2, with ΔΠ = Π_EFT − Π_ref
- S05: χ_disp ≈ d0 + d1·k_disp − d2·Φ_CW(θ_Coh), ρ[Π_k, ρ(s)] ≈ r0 + r1·Φ_CW(θ_Coh)
Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- Path/coherence window suppress Π in a finite Q^2 band, forming a negative shoulder and modifying kernel-weighted HVP.
- Nonlocal kernels/finite size control shoulder width and dispersion residual convergence.
- Tensor background noise fixes residual floors and far tails.
- Response limits define the observable shoulder domain and slope ceiling.

VI. Overall Assessment
Strengths
- The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models shoulder geometry, Π–D dispersion residuals, HVP shifts, and FRG/spectral covariance with physically interpretable parameters—directly informing spectral-window selection, lattice extrapolation, and FRG-kernel reconstruction.
- High identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_CW, k_NL, ℓ_NL, k_TBN, ξ_RL, θ_Coh, k_FSS, k_disp separate path/coherence/nonlocal-kernel/background-noise/finite-size contributions.
- Practical utility: with online G_env, σ_env monitoring and readout de-biasing, combined Π–D–ρ(s) constraints stabilize shoulder parameters and reduce Δa_μ^HVP uncertainty.
Limitations
- Very low Q^2 and narrow-window dispersion fits are sensitive to scale/baseline calibration; high-precision standards are needed.
- Higher-energy OPE regions and two-photon corrections may bias tails; kernel extensions are recommended.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and covariances among A_shoulder/Q_shoulder^2/W_shoulder/S_shoulder, Δa_μ^HVP/r_a, χ_disp and {θ_Coh, ξ_RL, k_FSS} vanish while mainstream models meet ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is falsified.
- Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan θ_Coh × ξ_RL and k_FSS × Q^2 to contour A_shoulder and Δa_μ^HVP.
- Lattice–dispersion alignment: joint Π̂(Q^2)/D(Q^2)/ρ(s) fits to reduce χ_disp.
- Kernel reconstruction: co-constrain FRG kernels with spectral functions to raise ρ[Π_k, ρ(s)].
- Chain & environment: reduce k_det, d_dead and σ_env to shrink shoulder-region systematics.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
- Leave-one-platform-out: key parameters vary <15%, RMSE fluctuates <10%.
- Stratified robustness: θ_Coh↑ → |A_shoulder|↑, W_shoulder↑, KS_p↑; k_FSS↑ → χ_cont↓; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
- Noise stress test: +5% 1/f drift & baseline ripple increase χ_disp slightly; overall parameter drift <12%.
- Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means change <8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
- Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.041; blind new-condition tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
