Audit review
The paper (within the Walters family R(Ω)) proves that the series-defined involution kernel exists if and only if the potential has Walters regularity, via explicit case-by-case calculations and known characterizations of Walters regularity in that class. It also shows that convergence of the series implies Walters regularity. By contrast, the model’s (⇒) direction hinges on a uniform Cauchy bound that misuses variation estimates var_{n+k}(S_n A) and incorrectly concludes that the limit kernel W is independent of x. It also assumes continuity from pointwise convergence without proof. These errors conflict with the paper’s formulas where W depends on both coordinates and with the correct logic linking series convergence and regularity.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The paper delivers a clear equivalence between series-defined involution kernels and Walters regularity within the Walters family, supported by explicit computations and by linking series convergence to regularity. Results connect naturally to dual potentials and symmetry. Minor clarifications on scope and on the nature of convergence would further strengthen the presentation.
