\section{Existing Bound on Semistabiliser Ranks}
\label{subsect:loose-bound-on-r}
The proof for the following Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r} was hinted at in
\cite{SchmidtBenjamin2020Bsot}, but the value appears explicitly in
\cite{SchmidtGithub2020} as shown in the following Listing
\ref{fig:code:schmidt-bound}.
The latter citation is a SageMath \cite{sagemath}
library for computing certain quantities related to Bridgeland stabilities on
Picard rank 1 varieties. It also includes functions to compute pseudo-walls and

\begin{theorem}[Bound on $r$ - Benjamin Schmidt]
\label{thm:loose-bound-on-r}
Let $X$ be a smooth projective Picard rank 1 surface with choice of ample line
bundle $L$ such that $\ell\coloneqq c_1(L)$ generates $\neronseveri(X)$ and
take $m\coloneqq \ell^2$.
Given a Chern character $v$ with $\Delta(v) \geq 0$ and positive rank (or
$\chern_0(v) = 0$ but $\chern_1(v) > 0$)
such that
$\beta_-\coloneqq\beta_{-}(v)\in\QQ$, the rank $r$ of
any solution $u$ of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2} is
bounded above by:
\begin{equation*}
r \leq \frac{m\left(n \chern^{\beta_-}_1(v) - 1\right)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}
\end{equation*}
\end{theorem}
\begin{proof}
The Bogomolov form applied to the twisted Chern character is the same as the
So $0 \leq \Delta(u)$ (condition 2 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2})
yields:
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn-bgmlv-on-E}
2\chern_0(u) \chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u) \leq \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u)^2
\noindent
Furthermore,
condition 5 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}
gives:
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn-tilt-cat-cond}
0 < \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u) < \chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)
\end{equation}
The induced restrictions on possible pairs $\chern^{\beta_-}_0(u)$ and
$\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u)$,
as well as conditions 1 and 6 from Corollary \ref{cor:num_test_prob2}
are illustrated here on the right, with the invalid regions shaded.

\def\svgwidth{\linewidth}
\subimport{../figures/}{schmidt-arg-diag.pdf_tex}
Currently, the unshaded region in the diagram above, corresponding to possible
values for $\chern_0(u)$ and $\chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u)$ that satisfy the
currently considered restrictions, is unbounded.
This is where the rationality of $\beta_{-}$ comes in.
If $\beta_{-} = \frac{a_v}{n}$ for some $a_v,n \in \ZZ$,
then $\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u) \in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}\ZZ$.
In particular, since $\chern_2^{\beta_-}(u) > 0$ we must also have
$\chern^{\beta_-}_2(u) \geq \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}$, which then in turn gives a
bound for the rank of $u$:
\chern_0(u)
&\leq \frac{\chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{2\chern^{\beta_{-}}_2(u)} \nonumber \\
&\leq \frac{\lcm(m,2n^2) \chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{2} \nonumber \\
&= \frac{mn^2 \chern^{\beta_-}_1(u)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}
\noindent
Which we can then immediately bound using Equation \ref{eqn-tilt-cat-cond}.
Alternatively, given that
$\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(u)$, $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)\in\frac{1}{n}\ZZ$,
we can tighten this bound on $\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(u)$ given by that Equation to:
\[
n\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(u) \leq n\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v) - 1
\]
allowing us to bound the expression in Equation \ref{proof:first-bound-on-r} to
the following:
\leq \frac{m\left(n \chern^{\beta_-}_1(v) - 1\right)^2}{\gcd(m,2n^2)}
\end{proof}
\begin{sagesilent}
from examples import recurring
\end{sagesilent}
\begin{example}[$v=(3, 2\ell, -2)$ on $\PP^2$]
\label{exmpl:recurring-first}
Taking $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so
that $m=1$, $\beta_-=\sage{recurring.betaminus}$,
giving $n=\sage{recurring.n}$ and
$\chern_1^{\sage{recurring.betaminus}}(F) = \sage{recurring.twisted.ch[1]}$.
Using the above Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}, we get that the ranks of
tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{recurring.loose_bound}$.
However, when computing all tilt semistabilisers for $v$ on $\PP^2$, the maximum
rank that appears turns out to be 25. This will be a recurring example to
illustrate the performance of later Theorems about rank bounds
\end{example}

\begin{example}[extravagant example: $v=(29, 13\ell, -3/2)$ on $\PP^2$]
\label{exmpl:extravagant-first}
Taking $\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so
that $m=1$, $\beta_-=\sage{extravagant.betaminus}$,
giving $n=\sage{extravagant.n}$ and
$\chern_1^{\sage{extravagant.betaminus}}(F) = \sage{extravagant.twisted.ch[1]}$.
Using the above Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}, we get that the ranks of
tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by $\sage{extravagant.loose_bound}$.
However, when computing all tilt semistabilisers for $v$ on $\PP^2$, the maximum
rank that appears turns out to be $\sage{round(extravagant.actual_rmax, 1)}$.
\end{example}
\section{Tighter Bounds}
\label{sec:refinement}
To get tighter bounds on the rank of solutions $u$ to the Problems
\ref{problem:problem-statement-1} and
\ref{problem:problem-statement-2},
we will need to consider each of the values which
$\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ can take.
Doing this will allow us to eliminate possible values of $\chern_0(u)$ for which
each possible value of $\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ leads to the failure of at least one
of the inequalities.
As opposed to only eliminating possible values of $\chern_0(u)$ for which all
corresponding $\chern_1^{\beta}(u)$ fail one of the inequalities (which is what
was implicitly happening before in the proof of Theorem
\ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r}).
\label{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}
Consider the Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} (or \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}),
and $\beta_{0}\coloneqq \beta(P)$ (or $\beta_{-}(v)$ resp.).
\noindent
If $u$ is a solution to the Problem then $u$ satisfies:
\begin{align}
q\coloneqq \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) &\in \left( 0, \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) \right)
\label{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}
\\
\chern_0(u) &> \frac{q}{\mu(v) - \beta_0}
\nonumber
\end{align}
\noindent
Conversely, any $u = (r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$
with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$
satisfying the above Equations \ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}
is a solution to the Problem if and only if the following are satisfied:
\begin{multicols}{3}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\Delta(u) \geq 0$
\item $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$
\item $\chern^P_2(u) \geq 0$
\end{itemize}
\end{multicols}
\end{lemma}
\begin{proof}
{\color{red} proof}
\end{proof}
\begin{corollary}
\label{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}
Consider the Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} (or \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}),
and suppose that $\beta_{0}\coloneqq \beta(P)$ (or $\beta_{-}(v)$ resp.) is
rational, and written $\beta_0=\frac{a_v}{n}$ for
some coprime integers $a_v$, $n$ with $n>0$.
Then any solution $u$ satisfies:
\begin{align*}
\chern^{\beta_0}_1(u)
&= \frac{b_q}{n}
&\text{for some }
b_q \in \left\{ 1, 2, \ldots, n\chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) - 1 \right\}
\\
a_v r &\equiv -b_q \pmod{n}
\end{align*}
And any $u = (r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$
with $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$
satisfying these equations is a solution to the Problem if and only if, again,
the following are satisfied:
\begin{multicols}{3}
\begin{itemize}
\item $\Delta(u) \geq 0$
\item $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$
\item $\chern^P_2(u) \geq 0$
\end{itemize}
\end{multicols}
\subsection{Bounds on \texorpdfstring{`$d$'}{d}-values for Solutions of Problems}
\label{subsec:bounds-on-d}
Let $v$ be a Chern character with $\Delta(v)\geq 0$,
$\chern_0(v)>0$, or $\chern_0(v)=0$ and $\chern_1(v)>0$,
and consider Problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-1} or
\ref{problem:problem-statement-2}.
Take $\beta_0 = \beta(P)$ where $P\in\Theta_v^-$ is the choice made in problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-1}
(or $\beta_0 = \beta_{-}$ for problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}).
Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} states that any solution
u \coloneqq \:(r,c\ell,d\ell^2)
\qquad
\text{where $r,c\in \ZZ$ and $d\in \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)}\ZZ$}
\label{eqn:u-coords}
to the Problem satisfies
\[
q \coloneqq \chern_1^{\beta_0}(u)
\in
\left(
0, \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v)
\right)
\]
and also gives a lower bound for $r$ when considering $u$ with a fixed $q$.
This Section studies the extra numerical conditions that such $u$ must satisfy
as per that Lemma, and will express them as bounds on $d$ in terms of $r$ (for a
fixed $q$).
These bounds will later be used in Subsections
\ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1} and
\ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2}
to construct upper bounds on $r$
(in a similar way to how a bound on $\chern_0(u)$ was found in the proof of
Theorem \ref{thm:loose-bound-on-r} by considering bounds on
$\chern^{\beta_0}_0(u)$ in terms of the former).
\subsubsection{Size of pseudo-wall\texorpdfstring{: $\chern_2^P(u)>0$}{}}
\label{subsect-d-bound-radiuscond}
In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, this condition,
when rearranged to a bound on $d$, amounts to:
\begin{align}
\label{eqn:radius-cond-betamin}
\chern_2^{\beta_{-}}(u) &> 0 \\
d &> \frac{1}{2} {\beta_{-}}^2r + \beta_{-}q
\nonumber
\end{align}
\begin{sagesilent}
import other_P_choice as problem1
\end{sagesilent}
In the case where we are tackling Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1},
with
$P=(\alpha_0,\beta_0) \in \Theta_v^-$.
Then $\sage{problem1.A2_subs}$ follows from $\chern_2^P(v)=0$. Using this substitution into the
condition $\chern_2^P(u) = \sage{problem1.radius_condition_before_sub}$ yields:
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:radius_condition}
\sage{problem1.radius_condition}
Expanding $\chern^{\beta_0}_2(u)$ in terms of $r$, $c$, $d$, and rearranging for
$d$ then yields:
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn:radius_condition_d_bound}
\sage{problem1.radius_condition_d_bound}
\end{equation}
\subsubsection{Semistability of the Semistabilizer:
\texorpdfstring{
$\Delta(u) \geq 0$
}{
Δ(u) ≥ 0
}
}
Expressing $\Delta(u)\geq 0$ in terms of
$q = \chern^{\beta_0}_1(u) = c - r\beta_0$,
we get:
\begin{sagesilent}
from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_with_q
\end{sagesilent}
\begin{equation}
\sage{bgmlv2_with_q}
\end{equation}
\noindent
Rearranging to express this as a bound on $d$, we get the following.
Recall that $r>0$ is ensured by Equations \ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}.
\begin{sagesilent}
from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_d_ineq
\end{sagesilent}
\begin{equation}
\label{eqn-bgmlv2_d_upperbound}
\sage{bgmlv2_d_ineq.expand()}
\end{equation}
\subsubsection{Semistability of the Quotient:
\texorpdfstring{
$\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$
}{
Δ(v-u) ≥ 0
}
}
\label{subsect-d-bound-bgmlv3}
Expressing $\Delta(v-u)\geq 0$ in term of $q$ and rearranging as a bound on
$d$ yields:
\begin{sagesilent}
from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms
\end{sagesilent}
\label{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound}
d \leq
\sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.linear}
+ \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.const}
\sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.hyperbolic}
If $r=R$, then $\Delta(v-u)=(C-c)^2 \geq 0$ is always true, and for $r<R$
the expression on the right hand side of Equation \ref{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound}
gives a lower bound for $d$ instead.
However it is weaker than lower bound
given by $\chern^P_2(u)>0$ if $u$ already satisfies Equations
\ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} as will be shown now:

Since $r, R-r>0$, we have:
\begin{equation}
\label{lem:proof:slope-order-rltR}
\beta_0, \mu(u) < \mu(v) < \mu(v-u)
\end{equation}
\noindent
The first inequality coming from $P \in \Theta_v^{-}$ and Equation
\ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q}, and the second inequality following by the
see-saw principle.

\left(

&<
\frac{r\chern^{\beta_0}_2(v)}{R}
\end{align*}
\noindent
Showing that the unique terms of Equation
\ref{eqn:radius_condition_d_bound}
are greater than those of Equation
\ref{eqn-bgmlv3_d_upperbound}.
\subsubsection{All Bounds on \texorpdfstring{$d$}{d} Together for Problem
\texorpdfstring{\ref{problem:problem-statement-2}}{2}}
\label{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob2}
In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, with
$\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$, we have $\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}_2(v)=0$, simplifying the
bounds on $d$ calculated in this Subsection.
So we conclude that final 3 conditions from Corollary
\ref{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}
for a potential solution to the problem of the form in Equation
\ref{eqn:u-coords}, amounts to the following:
\begin{sagesilent}
from plots_and_expressions import bgmlv2_d_upperbound_terms
\end{sagesilent}
\begin{align}
d &>&
\frac{1}{2}{\beta_0}^2 r

& \sage{bgmlv3_d_upperbound_terms.problem2.hyperbolic},
&\qquad\text{when\:} r > R
\label{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin}
\end{align}
Recalling that $q \coloneqq \chern^{\beta}_1(u) \in (0, \chern^{\beta}_1(v))$,
it is worth noting that the extreme values of $q$ in this range lead to the
tightest bounds on $d$.
Small values of $q$ brings
Equation \ref{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin} closer to
Equation \ref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin},
and larger values of $q$ brings
Equation \ref{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin} closer to
Equation \ref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}.
For a generic case, when
$0 < q\coloneqq\chern_1^{\beta}(u) < \chern_1^{\beta}(v)$,
the bounds on $d$ in terms of $r$ is illustrated in Figure
(\ref{fig:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}).
The question of whether there are pseudo-semistabilisers of arbitrarily large
rank, in the context of the graph, comes down to whether there are points
$(r,d) \in \ZZ \oplus \frac{1}{\lcm(m,2)} \ZZ$ (with large $r$)
that fit above the yellow line (ensuring positive radius of wall) but below the
blue and green (ensuring $\Delta(u), \Delta(v-u) > 0$).
These lines have the same assymptote at $r \to \infty$
(Equations \ref{eqn:bgmlv2_d_bound_betamin},
\ref{eqn:bgmlv3_d_bound_betamin},
\ref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}).
As mentioned in the introduction to this Part, the finiteness of these
solutions is entirely determined by whether $\beta_{-}$ is rational or irrational.
This will be pursued in Subsection
\ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2}.

\subsubsection{All Bounds on \texorpdfstring{$d$}{d} Together for Problem
\texorpdfstring{\ref{problem:problem-statement-1}}{1}}
\label{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob1}
Unlike for Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2},
the bounds on $d=\chern_2(u)$ induced by the final three conditions
of Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion}
have different
constant and linear terms, so that the graphs for upper
bounds do not share the same assymptote as the lower bound
(and they will turn out to intersect).

}
\label{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}

Notice that as functions of $r$, the linear term in
Equation \ref{eqn:prob1:radiuscond} is strictly greater than
those in Equations \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv2}
and \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv3} in the context of the Problem.
This is because $R\coloneqq\chern_0(v)$
and $\chern_2^{\beta_0}(v)$ are all strictly positive:
\begin{itemize}
\item $R > 0$ from the setting of Problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-1}
\item $\chern_2^{\beta_0}(v)>0$
by Lemma \ref{lem:comparison-test-with-beta_}
because ${\beta_0} < \beta_{-}$ due to the choice of $P$ being
a point on $\Theta_v^{-}$
\end{itemize}
This means that the lower bound for $d$ will be larger than either of the two
upper bounds for sufficiently large $r$, and hence those values of $r$ would yield no
solution to problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}.
A generic example of this is plotted in Figure
\ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}, and bounds for $r$ following from this
idea will be pursued in Subsection \ref{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1}.
\subsection{Bounds on Semistabilizer Rank \texorpdfstring{$r$}{} in Problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-1}}
\label{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-1}
As discussed at the end of subsection \ref{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob1}
(and illustrated in Figure \ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}),
there are no solutions $u$ to problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}
with large $r=\chern_0(u)$, since the lower bound on $d=\chern_2(u)$ is larger
than the upper bounds.
Therefore, we can calculate upper bounds on $r$ by calculating for which values,
the lower bound on $d$ is equal to one of the upper bounds on $d$
(i.e. finding certain intersection points of the graph in Figure
\ref{fig:problem1:d_bounds_xmpl_gnrc_q}).
\begin{theorem}[Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} upper Bound on $r$]
\label{lem:prob1:r_bound}
Let $u$ be a solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}
and $q\coloneqq\chern_1^{B}(u)$.
Then $r\coloneqq\chern_0(u)$ is bounded above by the following expression:
\begin{equation}
\sage{problem1.r_bound_expression}
\end{equation}
Lemma \ref{lem:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion} gives us that any solution $u$
must be of the form in Equation \ref{eqn:u-coords} and
satisfy Equations \ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q} as well as the three
conditions $\chern^P_2(u)>0$, $\Delta(u) \geq 0$, and $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$.
Subsection \ref{subsec:bounds-on-d} equates these latter three conditions
(provided Equations \ref{lem:eqn:cond-for-fixed-q})
to upper bounds on $d$ given by
Equations \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv2} and \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv3};
and one lower bound given by Equation \ref{eqn:prob1:radiuscond}.
Solving for the lower bound in Equation \ref{eqn:prob1:radiuscond} being
less than the upper bound in Equation \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv2} yields:
\begin{equation}
r<\sage{problem1.positive_intersection_bgmlv2}
\end{equation}
Similarly, but with the upper bound in Equation \ref{eqn:prob1:bgmlv3}, gives:
\begin{equation}
r<\sage{problem1.positive_intersection_bgmlv3}
\end{equation}
Therefore, $r$ is bounded above by the minimum of these two expressions which
can then be factored into the expression given in the Lemma.
\end{proof}
The above Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:r_bound} gives an upper bound on $r$ in terms of $q$.
But given that $0 < q < \chern_1^{\beta_0}(v)$, we can take the maximum of this
bound, over $q$ in this range, to get a simpler (but weaker) bound in the
following Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:convenient_r_bound}.
\begin{theorem}[Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1} global upper Bound on $r$]
\label{lem:prob1:convenient_r_bound}
Let $u$ be a solution to problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-1}.
Then $r\coloneqq\chern_0(u)$ is bounded above by the following expression:
\begin{equation}
\sage{problem1.r_max}
\end{equation}
The first term of the minimum in Lemma \ref{lem:prob1:r_bound}
increases linearly in $q$, and the second
decreases linearly. So the maximum is achieved with the value of
$q=q_{\mathrm{max}}$ where they are equal.
Solving for the two terms in the minimum to be equal yields:
$q_{\mathrm{max}}=\sage{problem1.maximising_q}$.
Substituting $q=q_{\mathrm{max}}$ into the bound in Lemma
\ref{lem:prob1:r_bound} gives the bound as stated in the current Lemma.
\end{proof}
$q_{\mathrm{max}} > 0$ is immediate from the expression, but
$q_{\mathrm{max}} \leq \chern_1^{B}(v)$ is equivalent to $\Delta(v) \geq 0$,
which is true by assumption in this setting.
\subsection{Bounds on Semistabilizer Rank \texorpdfstring{$r$}{} in Problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-2}}
\label{subsec:bounds-on-semistab-rank-prob-2}
Now, the inequalities from the above Subsubsection
\ref{subsubsect:all-bounds-on-d-prob2} will be used to find, for
each given $q=\chern^{\beta}_1(E)$, how large $r$ needs to be in order to leave
no possible solutions for $d$ in the context of Problem
\ref{problem:problem-statement-2}.
At that point, there are no solutions
$u=(r,c\ell,d\ell^2)$ to the Problem.
In the context of Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2}, $\beta_{-}(v)$ is
assumed to be rational.
Considering Corollary \ref{cor:rational-beta:fixed-q-semistabs-criterion},
for any solution $u$, we have $q\coloneqq\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u) = \frac{b_q}{n}$
where $\beta_{-}(v) = \frac{a_v}{n}$ in lowest terms and $b_q$ is an integer
between 1 and $n\chern_1^{\beta_0}(v) - 1$ (inclusive),
and $a_v r \equiv -b_q \pmod{n}$.
The Corollary then gives a lower bound for $r$, and states that any $u$ of the
form from Equation \ref{eqn:u-coords} satisfying these conditions so far, is a
solution to Problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2} if and only if it
satisfies the conditions
$\chern^{\beta_{-}(v)}(u)>0$, $\Delta(u) \geq 0$, and $\Delta(v-u) \geq 0$.
\renewcommand{\aa}{{a_v}}
\newcommand{\bb}{{b_q}}
Substituting more specialised values of $q$ and $\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ into the condition
$\chern^{\beta_0}(u) > 0$
(Equation \ref{eqn:radiuscond_d_bound_betamin}) we get:

Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard rank 1 and choice of ample
line bundle $L$ with $c_1(L)$ generating $\neronseveri(X)$ and
$m\coloneqq\ell^2$.
Let $v$ be a fixed Chern character on this surface with positive rank
(or rank 0 and $c_1(v)>0$), and $\Delta(v)\geq 0$.
Then the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers $u$ for $v$,

\begin{proof}
Both $d$ and the lower bound in
(Equation \ref{eqn:positive_rad_condition_in_terms_of_q_beta})
are elements of $\frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}\ZZ$.
So, if any of the two upper bounds on $d$ come to within
$\frac{1}{\lcm(m,2n^2)}$ of this lower bound, then there are no solutions for
$d$.

\begin{corollary}[Bound on $r$ \#2]
\label{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps}
Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface with Picard rank 1 and choice of ample
line bundle $L$ with $c_1(L)$ generating $\neronseveri(X)$ and
$m\coloneqq\ell^2$.
Let $v$ be a fixed Chern character on this surface and
$R\coloneqq\chern_0(v)$.
Then the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers $u$ of $v$,
which are solutions to problem \ref{problem:problem-statement-2},
\begin{align*}
r &\leq \sage{main_theorem1.corollary_r_bound}
&\text{if } R < \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m}
\\
r &\leq \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m}
&\text{if } R \geq \frac{\Delta(v)\lcm(m,2n^2)}{2m}
\end{align*}
\end{corollary}
\begin{proof}
The ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by the
maximum over $q\in [0, \chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)]$ of the expression in Theorem
\ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps}.
Noticing that the expression is a maximum of two quadratic functions in $q$
($\beta_0=\beta_{-}(v)$ in this context):
\begin{equation*}
f_1(q)\coloneqq\sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound1} \qquad
f_2(q)\coloneqq\sage{main_theorem1.r_upper_bound2}
\end{equation*}
These have their minimums at $q=0$ and $q=\chern_1^{\beta_{-}}(v)$ respectively,
with values 0 and $R>0$ respectively.
So provided that
$f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) < f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right)$,
the maximum is achieved at their intersection.
Otherwise, the maximum is achieved at
$\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)$.
So we can say that
\begin{align*}
r &\leq
f_{1}(q_{\mathrm{max}})
&\text{if } f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) <
f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right)
\\ &&
\text{where $q_{\mathrm{max}}$ is the $q$-value where the $f_i$ intersect}
\\
r &\leq f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}(v)\right)
&\text{if } f_2\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right) \geq
f_1\left(\chern^{\beta_{-}}_1(v)\right)
\end{align*}
\noindent
In the first case,
solving for $f_1(q)=f_2(q)$ yields
\begin{equation*}
q=\sage{q_sol.expand()}
\end{equation*}
And evaluating $f_1$ at this $q$-value gives:
\begin{equation*}
\sage{main_theorem1.corollary_intermediate}
\end{equation*}
\noindent
Finally, noting that $\Delta(v)=\left(\chern_1^{\beta_{-}(v)}(v)\right)^2\ell^2$,
we get the bounds as stated in the statement of the Corollary.
\end{proof}
\begin{example}[$v=(3, 2\ell, -2)$ on $\PP^2$]
\label{exmpl:recurring-second}
Just like in example \ref{exmpl:recurring-first}, take
$\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so
that $m=2$, $\beta=\sage{recurring.betaminus}$,
giving $n=\sage{recurring.n}$.
Using the above corollary \ref{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps}, we get that
the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by
$\sage{recurring.corrolary_bound} \approx
\sage{round(float(recurring.corrolary_bound), 1)}$,
which is much closer to real maximum 25 than the original bound 144.
\end{example}
\begin{example}[extravagant example: $v=(29, 13\ell, -3/2)$ on $\PP^2$]
\label{exmpl:extravagant-second}
Just like in example \ref{exmpl:extravagant-first}, take
$\ell=c_1(\mathcal{O}(1))$ as the standard polarization on $\PP^2$, so
that $m=2$, $\beta=\sage{extravagant.betaminus}$,
giving $n=\sage{extravagant.n}$.
Using the above corollary \ref{cor:direct_rmax_with_uniform_eps}, we get that
the ranks of tilt semistabilisers for $v$ are bounded above by
$\sage{extravagant.corrolary_bound} \approx
\sage{round(float(extravagant.corrolary_bound), 1)}$,
which is much closer to real maximum $\sage{extravagant.actual_rmax}$ than the
original bound 215296.
\end{example}
%% refinements using specific values of q and beta
These bound can be refined a bit more by considering restrictions from the
possible values that $r$ take.
Furthermore, the proof of Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps} uses the fact
that, given an element of $\frac{1}{2n^2}\ZZ$, the closest non-equal element of
$\frac{1}{2}\ZZ$ is at least $\frac{1}{2n^2}$ away. However this a
conservative estimate, and a larger gap can sometimes be guaranteed if we know
this value of $\frac{1}{2n^2}\ZZ$ explicitly.
The expressions that will follow will be a bit more complicated and have more
parts which depend on the values of $q$ and $\beta$, even their numerators
$\aa,\bb$ specifically. The upcoming Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_eps1} is less useful as a
`clean' formula for a bound on the ranks of the pseudo-semistabilisers, but has a
purpose in the context of writing a computer program to find
pseudo-semistabilisers. Such a program would iterate through possible values of
$q$, then iterate through values of $r$ within the bounds (dependent on $q$),
which would then determine $c$, and then find the corresponding possible values
for $d$.
Next, we seek to find a larger $\epsilon$ to use in place of $\epsilon_v$ in the
proof of Theorem \ref{thm:rmax_with_uniform_eps}:
