Surface flags at the remaining nodes
We give the surface computations separately. They keep the exceptional fixed coefficients, the extra line when , and the different at a weighted extraction.
81.1 Moment conventions and computations
For a curve , decompose on its pseudoeffective range, with nef and the sum negative definite. Set and define Here is the moving first moment, is the free point moment, and is its negative-part correction at . Fixed components of the original series must be added separately. Their average coefficient is computed with probability density .
The normalized asymptotic fixed part of the pullback series is where and if , whereas if . The integral rounding errors are bounded and disappear in these moments. For a function write . Direct integration gives
Lemma 81.1. In the case , the flag moments are as follows. Entries not displayed in the last column are zero. In the case , the table is
Proof. All entries can be calculated by linear algebra and integration of quadratic polynomials. We specify the computation to make the negative parts and the normalization reproducible. Use the negative-curve lists in Lemma 80.3. The auxiliary class is ample: it has square and positive intersection with every listed negative curve, while the Hodge index theorem treats the curves of nonnegative square. On each of the four -intervals, , as is checked at its endpoints, and for every flag in the tables. Consequently, pseudoeffectivity of implies . Thus the whole calculation takes place in bounded rational rectangles. On each -interval, enumerate all negative definite subsets of the list and form Keep the polygon where , all , and for every listed negative curve. Also require . These are linear inequalities in . Check also that the positive part has nonnegative square at each vertex; the convexity of the positive cone gives this throughout each polygon. The negative-curve list and the Hodge index theorem then verify nefness. These rational polygons give the Zariski chambers, with disjoint interiors. Substitution in the three preceding integrals gives the tables.
For completeness an elementary integration rule avoids any numerical
approximation. Triangulate each polygon, with a triangle parametrized by

Multiply by its oriented Jacobian. For every resulting monomial use
The numbers of
nonempty chambers in the successive rows of the first table are

and in the second are

The chamber count here ignores boundaries. In each row the additional
check
holds. Indeed

and the volume vanishes at the final endpoint. This identity checks that
the chambers account for the full slice mass. The script
check_f220_chambers_exact.py, included in the audit
certificates, carries out this finite enumeration entirely in rational
arithmetic, including the negative-definiteness and polygon-feasibility
tests. Its files chambers_f220_False_*.json and
chambers_f220_True_*.json record the polygons, negative
supports, coefficients
,
and positive parts; the file chambers_f220_results.json
records their integrals. The script also checks orthogonality, nefness,
and the displayed mass identity. The linear systems, inequalities, and
integration rule needed to reproduce the computation have all been given
above. ◻
Example 81.2. The fixed conic contribution is In the second case the extra fixed line contributes For the first row of either table and , the initial chamber is , with For example this chamber contributes to . The other chambers are computed by the same rule.
81.2 The three marked points
Lemma 81.3. For the complete series on , one has
Proof. At and use the weight- extraction in the specified tangent direction. Its discrepancy over is three. Its exceptional curve has different at the orbifold point and zero elsewhere. Its strict transform on is , and the curve contracted over the orbifold point is . The full first moment is . The point moment at the orbifold point is To verify the subtraction, the pullback of the weighted exceptional curve is . The fixed coefficient along before subtracting this curve is , so the initial fixed contribution cancels. The further negative coefficient must be reduced by . Since , the correction is exactly .
If , the first moment is , and the orbifold point moment is . Away from that point only can contribute from the first table. They have intersection one with . Even adding all their corrections and the fixed coefficient gives at most The curves over the other two marked points are disjoint from . Consequently the smallest possible ratio is .
If , at the first moment is , and the orbifold moment is . The only further contributing curve meeting is , away from the orbifold point. At this point the full moment is At the first moment is and the orbifold moment is again . At the ordinary points of , even adding the contributions of and the fixed gives . Both weighted flags therefore give the asserted bound.
At use the ordinary blowup, of discrepancy two. Its exceptional curve is represented by on , and its pullback is . Thus its full moment is , and the point moment in the marked direction is If , these are and , respectively. At every other direction an upper bound is , adding the three possible line/conic corrections and the fixed conic.
If , the first moment is and the marked point moment is . The direction is different from and from the direction. Its point moment is At the direction the moment is . Elsewhere it is . The other negative curves in that row are disjoint from . All these ratios, including , exceed . Abban–Zhuang refinement proves the lemma. ◻
81.3 All other points of the exceptional plane
Lemma 81.4. For every ,
Proof. First suppose that the line through and contains neither of the other marked points and is not . Its strict transform has class . Its first moment is . Corrections supported above do not meet . If , the conics each already meet the line at , so each has local intersection at most one at . The point moment is at most If , the fixed line meets this line only at . The line has intersection one, and has remaining intersection at most one. The same bound follows from the second table.
It remains to use the excluded lines themselves. At points of away from its endpoints, the first moment is and the point moment is at most , in either case. All fixed components meet this line at its marked endpoints; the only further correction is from .
If , use or at the remaining points. Their first moments are and . Discarding the corrections over marked endpoints, and using local intersection at most one for lines and at most two for conics, bounds their point moments by, respectively, These bounds include the fixed conic coefficient.
If , the line is the line joining to , with strict transform . Its first moment includes its own fixed coefficient and is Away from its marked endpoints the only correction is from , including its fixed coefficient, so the point moment is at most Every first and point moment just listed is at most . The ordinary surface-flag inequality proves the assertion. The upper bounds allow contributing curves to meet at the same point; no general-position assumption on their other intersections has been used. ◻
Proof of Theorem 80.1. Lemmas 81.3 and 81.4 cover every point of , and give . The ordinary point blowup is a plt extraction with and trivial different on . Lemma 80.5 and the Abban–Zhuang inequality [4, Theorem 3.3] now give This proves a bound for every valuation involved in the local threshold, rather than only for the first exceptional divisor. ◻
Example 81.5. The choices and illustrate the two surface calculations. In the first, and is smooth. In the second, and , so its two line factors have different fixed coefficients: and . Nevertheless both point extractions have expected order , and both full refinements have threshold at least . Equality of the first moments alone would not have justified transferring the surface bound between them.
