[#R512] Dated source and convention audit
1Summary
The checked primary literature still treats universal connectivity as open for p>=5, while proving a finite effective remainder and several broad or bounded regions.
The audit resolved the canonical equation, vertex convention, and Vieta-only edge set against the current primary sources. De Courcy-Ireland and Lee compute connectivity below 3000 for \(p\geq5\) in the coefficient-three normalization, using their Dehn-twist presentation of the strong-approximation graph. Brown cites that computation for the Vieta graph below 3000. Multiplication of all coordinates by 3 conjugates the coefficient-three Vieta moves to the canonical coefficient-one moves for \(p\neq3\). Brown proves connectivity below one million with an almost-linear criterion and defines the coefficient-one graph after assuming \(p>2\). Eddy et al. prove connectivity for every prime above \(3.448\times10^{392}\) and give the maximal-divisor criterion used here. Chen proves all but finitely many primes, and Martin supplies a later proof of the component-divisibility input. Bellah et al. connect special points for a family including certain Mersenne primes.
A search on 2026-07-28 used the exact formulations `site:arxiv.org Markoff mod p graph connectivity connectedness prime 2026`, `site:arxiv.org "Markoff mod p" graph connected connectivity`, and `site:doi.org Markoff graph modulo p connectivity`. It also checked the six exact-target arXiv records in the packet bibliography and the generalized-level search result. The strongest checked universal result remains Eddy et al.'s explicit upper threshold. Brown's exhaustive data cover 78,068 primes with \(3001\leq p\leq999{,}983\). No checked source resolves every prime \(p\geq5\).
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: dated source, normalization, and open-status audit for coefficient-one Markoff graphs at prime parameters p>=5.

- Variant boundaries
- The coefficient-three and coefficient-one surfaces are conjugate by coordinate scaling only for p != 3., Bellah et al. connect a named special point to the established large component for a prime family; this does not show that every vertex lies there., Brown's sample of 1,000 primes below 110,000,000 is affirmative sample data; only the range below one million is exhaustive in that source., Satake and Yamasaki, arXiv:2512.21963, study topological properties of generalized level sets and do not resolve connectivity of the zero level.
