The paper proves Theorem E by (i) constructing a first-return induced Gibbs–Markov (GM) map G on Δ−0 via a double-inducing procedure, establishing full-branch, expansion, and bounded distortion properties (Proposition 2.2) and saturation ; (ii) obtaining sharp tails for the return-time and weighted visit counts τa,b (Proposition 2.6) and hence for τ=τ1,1 (Corollary 2.8) with exponents β1=k2ℓ1, β2=k1ℓ2, β=max{β1,β2} ; (iii) decomposing ϕ into endpoint values plus a Hölder remainder and proving L2/Dα properties for the induced observable Φ (Proposition 2.10; Corollary 2.11), then applying Gouëzel’s induced GM limit theorems to conclude CLT, √(n log n) CLT, or α-stable laws with α=1/βϕ under (H) or (H′) exactly as in Theorem E . The candidate solution follows the same blueprint: build a GM inducing scheme, compute τ-tails from local forms, decompose ϕ, verify (H)/(H′), apply GM limit theorems, and note σ2=0 iff ϕ is a coboundary. Minor differences are cosmetic: the paper fixes the base Δ−0 (plus a symmetric G+), while the candidate speaks of Δ0=Δ−0∪Δ+0; and the candidate sketches heuristic tail sizes for Φ̃ whereas the paper proves Lq and o(t−1/βϕ) bounds. These do not affect the conclusions. Overall, the model’s proof aligns tightly with the paper’s results and logic (see the statement and use of Theorem E and βϕ in ; return-time tails in ; induced observables and reduction steps in ).
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The work gives a comprehensive, technically careful treatment of two-endpoint intermittent maps via a double-inducing Gibbs–Markov scheme, deriving sharp return-time tails and a full classification of limit laws governed by βϕ. The construction and tail estimates are nontrivial and useful. The exposition is clear overall, with only modest suggestions for clarifying the roles of (H)/(H′) and the coboundary criterion.
