Radical resonance modulus

For a finite surjection (q:G\twoheadrightarrow H), let (K=\ker q), let (A_q\subseteq\operatorname{Aut}(K)) be its conjugation image, and define

$$R_q=\operatorname{rad}\!\left(\exp(K)\exp(A_q)\right).$$

Ledger 1281 implies that the compatible power indices are exactly

$$\boxed{\{n\ge1:\gcd(n,R_q)=1\}.}$$

Compatibility is therefore periodic modulo (R_q). Its residue classes are the unit group ((\mathbf Z/R_q\mathbf Z)^\times), and compatibility is closed under multiplication, coherently with (P_mP_n=P_{mn}).

Each complete period contains (\varphi(R_q)) survivors, giving density

$$\frac{\varphi(R_q)}{R_q} =\prod_{p\mid R_q}\left(1-\frac1p\right).$$

Examples

• five-site (2)-deck quotients: (R_q=2), exactly odd indices;
• (A_4\to C_3) and (Q_8\rtimes C_3\to C_3): (R_q=6);
• (C_5\rtimes C_4\to C_4): (R_q=10);
• (operatorname{Heis}_3\to C_3^2): (R_q=3).

Scope

This is a finite congruence sieve on algebraic correspondence operations. It is not an Euler product, a distribution of Carrier-derived primes, a geometric Frobenius spectrum, or a physical selection theorem. Actual basis power maps can depend on exponents larger than (R_q); only the compatibility indicator factors through the radical modulus.
