Gauss sum over a Lagrangian (the ramified Prop 6.18 combinatorial core) #
The zero-count of a nonsingular ๐ฝโ quadratic form q on #V = 2^{2m} is 2^{2mโ1} ยฑ 2^{mโ1}
by its Arf invariant (GQ2/GaussCount.lean, zeroCount_of_arf_{zero,one}). Lemma 6.17 supplies
Qโฐ_loc with a half-dimensional totally singular subspace Xโ (deep units, #Xโยฒ = #Hยน,
Qโฐ_loc|Xโ = 0). The keystone below turns that into arf = 0 (positive Gauss sign): a totally
singular, self-perpendicular X forces g(q) = #X > 0. This is pure ๐ฝโ combinatorics โ no
cohomology โ proved by the two-way evaluation of โ_v โ_{xโX} (โ1)^{q(v+x)}.

Gauss sum over a Lagrangian: if X โค V is totally singular (q|X = 0) and
self-perpendicular (every v pairing trivially with all of X already lies in X), then the
Gauss sum is g(q) = #X. The combinatorial heart of the ramified Prop 6.18: a half-dimensional
totally singular subspace forces the positive Gauss sign.
A Lagrangian forces Arf 0 (positive Gauss sign). Given a totally singular,
self-perpendicular X โค V (a "Lagrangian" for the nonsingular q), arf q = 0. This is the
combinatorial step behind the ramified case of Prop 6.18 (eq. (115)).
Self-perpendicularity of a half-dimensional totally singular subspace (๐ฝโ duality).
For a nonsingular q on an exponent-2 group with q|X = 0 and #Xยฒ = #V, the perp Xโฅ equals
X: anything pairing trivially with all of X already lies in X. Proof: the descended polar
functional injects Xโฅ โช (V/X)^โจ (injective by nonsingularity), so #Xโฅ โค #(V/X) = #V/#X = #X;
with X โ Xโฅ (total singularity) this forces Xโฅ = X. (No character-extension needed.)
A half-dimensional totally singular subspace forces Arf 0 (the ramified Prop 6.18 input).
Combines selfperp_of_card_sq (self-โฅ from #Xยฒ = #V) with arf_zero_of_lagrangian.

Instances For
Restriction of ๐ฝโ-functionals to a subgroup is surjective (pure counting: the
kernel of restriction is Hom(A/X, ๐ฝโ), so the image has the size of Hom(X, ๐ฝโ)).
Perp membership from a Lagrangian count: for a biadditive nondegenerate ๐ฝโ-pairing
and a subgroup X with #Xยฒ = #A on which the pairing vanishes, anything pairing trivially
with all of X lies in X (the perp has the size of X by counting, and contains it).
The equivariant-lift correction kills 0: m_c(0) = 0 (from (59) at v = w = 0).
