Degree-eight positivity and polynomial obstructions for monotone Riemann theta averages

Abstract
Monotone center averaging makes the complete Riemann theta product moment matrix positive definite through degree eight, under the corresponding moment-integrability hypothesis. The lower-degree conclusions retain their weaker hypotheses, and every finite physical parameter is included. The proof separates positive mean Schur residuals from variance reserves, with complete-theta tail and finite-interval certificates. This finite positivity has a quantitative extension but an all-order boundary. At every fixed degree N, the local moment Gram has a 99/100 reserve in normalized Hermite coordinates for X≥1000N^2. In contrast, every sufficiently large center cutoff admits negative rational polynomial squares in both parities, of degree at most ⌈ A^(31/4)⌉. At A=23/2, explicit witnesses have degrees 4096 and 4097, with certified complete-theta moment signs. Positive, strictly increasing bounded real-analytic center weights also yield negative polynomial squares. The local physical consequences include fixed configurations of at most nine points. Classical Schur, approximation and quadrature tools are identified as inputs; the complete-theta estimates, witnesses and quantitative domains are the results studied here.
