Abstract We construct surfaces with arbitrarily large multiplicity for their first nonzero Steklov eigenvalue. The proof is based on a technique by Burger and Colbois originally used to prove a similar result for the Laplacian spectrum. We start by constructing surfaces upper S Subscript p $S_p$ <mml:math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:mnf="http://cambridge.org/core/manifest" xmlns:cup="http://contentservices.cambridge.org" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m="http://cambridge.org/core/metadata" xmlns:core="http://cambridge.org/core" xmlns:c="http://cambridge.org/core/content" display="inline"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>S</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:math> with a specific subgroup of isometry upper G Subscript p Baseline colon equals upper Z Subscript p Baseline right normal factor semidirect product upper Z Subscript p Superscript asterisk $G_p:= \mathbb {Z}_p \rtimes \mathbb {Z}_p^*$ <mml:math xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xmlns:mnf="http://cambridge.org/core/manifest" xmlns:cup="http://contentservices.cambridge.org" xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:m="http://cambridge.org/core/metadata" xmlns:core="http://cambridge.org/core" xmlns:c="http://cambridge.org/core/content" display="inline"> <mml:mrow> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>G</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msub> <mml:mo>:</mml:mo> <mml:mo>=</mml:mo> <mml:mstyle mathvariant="double-struck"> <mml:msub> <mml:mi>Z</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> </mml:msub> </mml:mstyle> <mml:mo>⋊</mml:mo> <mml:mstyle mathvariant="double-struck"> <mml:msubsup> <mml:mi>Z</mml:mi> <mml:mi>p</mml:mi> <mml:mo>*</mml:mo> </mml:msubsup> </mml:mstyle> </mml:mrow> </mml:math> for each prime p .

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
