The Laughlin spectral gap conjecture for the V1 pseudopotential on the sphere
Theorem 1.1: for every 0<γ<γ∗=4616733319001/1014>1/25 there is Qγ with HQ2≥γHQ on the full lowest-Landau-level fermionic Fock space for Q≥Qγ, independently of particle number. Corollary 1.2: HN,3(N−1)≥251(1−PL,N) for N≥N0. Section 7 proves the planar analogue at γ∗, the fermionic cubic case of Rougerie's Conjecture A.1. The companion adds stability under bounded projected scalar potentials. Thresholds are existential; bosonic and other fillings are not treated.
