The uploaded paper proves a full deviation spectrum for ergodic integrals of locally Hamiltonian flows on a minimal component: a decomposition into global Bufetov–Forni terms ui(T,x) tied to the positive KZ exponents and new local cocycles c_{σ,α}(T,x) tied to jets at saddles, with sharp exponents b(σ,k)=(m_σ−2−k)/m_σ and sub-polynomial remainders, both pointwise and in L1 (see Theorem 1.1 and (1.3)–(1.12) in the PDF ). The paper’s strategy reduces ergodic integrals to Birkhoff sums via a special-flow representation over IETs, introduces new Banach spaces P_a for polynomial singularities, imposes a Filtration Diophantine Condition (FDC) that holds for a.e. IET, and constructs correction operators to neutralize KZ-growth before obtaining upper and lower bounds (Sections 2–7, 9–10 ). The candidate solution outlines the same architecture: special-flow/IET reduction, a regular/singular splitting, Forni–Bufetov expansions for the regular part, local jet analysis at saddles yielding exponents b(σ,k), and renormalization-based upper/lower bounds with sub-polynomial error. Minor gaps are that it does not name the paper’s FDC explicitly and sketches a “linear elimination” of global terms instead of the paper’s correction operator R_{σ,k}, but these do not change the core argument. Overall, both reach the same result with substantially the same proof strategy.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The work extends the deviation spectrum for locally Hamiltonian flows to include sharp local contributions at degenerate saddles, backed by robust renormalization tools (FDC, new Banach spaces, correction operators). The results match classical global contributions and add genuinely new phenomena with optimal exponents. Arguments appear correct and complete; minor expository refinements would improve accessibility.
