legendre-intervals

Part III of the Legendre-interval series: ker L' is the pairwise-sum set of the roots of the sextic u·A(u)+1 (hexad, S6 ≅ Sp4(F2)); Witt–Artin–Schreier sheaves give W' = −q^7 for 5-cycles unconditionally and reduce X = q^6 + q^5 to class counts and Brown invariants. Paper, code, exact data.

Part IV of "Prime polynomials in Legendre intervals over F_{2^k}[t]": hexad formula and trace parity for Z/4 Gauss sums; the sign law is proved in all 11 Frobenius classes (v2: classes 3 2 1 and 6); X = q^6 + q^5 now depends only on the class counts. Paper, Python code, data for q = 8, 32, 128. DOI 10.5281/zenodo.23308682
