  "summary": "The supplied proof does not establish the lemma: it contains a sign error in the exponential expansion, a false inequality in the even case, and an impossible estimate on the good region in the odd case. These are proof defects, not a disproof of the lemma. With decreasing singular values, inversion does interchange the stated gaps correctly, and the fixed threshold T=2 log eta is appropriate. Lattice-counting inputs remain conditional; no later theorem is used.",

      "explanation": "For n=4 the coefficient order is (3,1,-3,-1), differing by one transposition from the decreasing Weyl-determinant order (3,1,-1,-3). Consequently, with the stated positive constant C, this sum is the negative of the positive Cartan density on the decreasing chamber. The assertion that f is nonnegative, and the ensuing lower-bound argument for this f, therefore fail already for n=4."

      "explanation": "Even after correcting the expansion, a lower bound and a pointwise maximum do not establish an asymptotic equivalent. The region grows with log X; the immediate upper bound includes its growing volume. An integrated upper estimate and convergence of the normalized integral are missing. The box argument also requires a sufficiently large epsilon': for n=4 and epsilon'<M, R' intersect B_epsilon' is empty."

For n=3, choose a fixed r>max(T_1,T_2); a small neighborhood of (r,0,-r) lies in this region for all sufficiently large X and has strictly positive density integral.
