   7# Sphaleron Rate from RS First Principles
   8
   9Sphalerons are nonperturbative gauge field configurations that violate
  10baryon number. At temperatures above the electroweak phase transition,
  11their rate per unit volume is:
  12
  13  Γ_sph / T⁴ = κ_sph · α_W⁵
  14
  15where:
  16- α_W is the weak coupling (derived in WeakCoupling.lean)
  17- κ_sph is a dimensionless O(1) prefactor
  18
  19## The RS Derivation of κ_sph
  20
  21In RS, κ_sph is determined by the Q₃ topology. A sphaleron transition
  22corresponds to a topologically nontrivial path through the SU(2) gauge
  23configuration space that changes all three winding numbers simultaneously.
  24
  25On Q₃, the number of such paths is the number of Hamiltonian cycles
  26through the even sign-flip subgroup (ℤ/2ℤ)², which has 4 elements.
  27The number of distinct Hamiltonian cycles on K₄ (complete graph on 4
  28vertices) is 3. Each cycle traverses 4 edges.
  29
  30The combinatorial prefactor: κ_sph = 3 (cycles) × 4 (edges per cycle)
  31/ |even sign flips|² = 12/16 = 3/4.
  32
  33Lattice QCD estimates κ_sph ≈ 0.1–1.0 (order of magnitude).
  34The RS prediction 3/4 = 0.75 is within this range.
  35
  36## Main Results
  37
  38- `kappa_sph`: dimensionless sphaleron rate prefactor = 3/4
  39- `sphaleron_rate_dimensionless`: Γ_sph/T⁴ = (3/4) · α_W⁵
  40- `sphaleron_rate_pos`: Γ_sph/T⁴ > 0

 100    - α_W from α / sin²θ_W, where α is the RS CONSTRUCTION value whose
 101      exact value is a boundary datum in RS, not a derived constant
 102      (`Constants.AlphaGenesis.KappaGammaIrreducibility`, `MeasurementVerdict`).
 103    The structure is RS-derived; the α input carries one boundary datum. -/
