zeekay 9504b4c3ef papers: cover-consistency + build pass on Lux Tier-2/3 catalogue
Sweep across the non-Tier-1 paper catalogue (Tier-1 owned by parallel
agent and excluded). All 113 processed papers already had luxcover
wired up; this commit fixes 14 build breakers and produces fresh
PDFs across the catalogue.

Fixes:
- lux-blockchain-scaling-laws: em-dash inside lstlisting -> --
- lux-corona-pq: stale \input pointing at 03-the-corona-scheme renamed
  to 03-the-corona-scheme (file already renamed on disk)
- lux-lattice-cryptography-primer: same Corona->Corona rename
- lux-formal-verification-lean4: Lean source uses unicode (×, ∀, ∃, ∈,
  ∧, ∨, ∩, ≠, ⟨, ⟩, ·, ¬) inside lstlistings. Added a literate map
  so listings render the math glyphs without UTF-8 fault.
- lux-id-did-specification: ✓/✗ in tabular replaced with \ding{51}
  / \ding{55} (pifont). Added pifont package.
- lux-ntt-simd-implementation: middle-dot in Go assembly listings;
  added literate {·}{\textperiodcentered}.
- lux-ntt-transform: μ, ×, –, — in regular text (no T1 fontenc).
  Replaced with $\mu$/$\times$/--/--- via unicode->latex sweep.
- lux-perpetuals-derivatives, lux-quantum-consensus,
  lux-quasar-consensus, lux-tee-computing-mesh: same unicode->latex
  sweep across body text. Also fixed broken math segment
  `$L_{avg} = 10$\times$$` -> `$L_{avg} = 10\times$`.
- lux-zchain: emoji glyphs in roadmap table replaced with
  parenthetical text.
- lux-triple-proof-consensus: dropped duplicate \usepackage{geometry}
  that clashed with luxcover (geometry option clash).
- pq: defined missing \Rq macro.

PDFs rebuilt for the full Tier-2/3 set.

Excluded (Tier-1, parallel agent): lp-073-pulsar, lp-stricte2epq,
dag-evm-formal, lp-010-quasar-stm-{3,4}, lp-020-quasar-consensus,
lux-institutional-custody, lux-nist-mptc-submission, pqsafe-il5,
pq-rns, plus shared/ and lps/.

\section{Conclusion}
We have demonstrated that post-quantum cryptography is viable on current EVM infrastructure through careful optimization of the Number Theoretic Transform. Our 85\% gas reduction---from 24M to 3.6M for FALCON-512 verification---brings quantum-resistant signatures within practical reach for production blockchain systems.
This work represents a critical step toward quantum-safe blockchain infrastructure. By providing efficient NTT operations as a foundational primitive, we enable the deployment of NIST-standardized post-quantum algorithms including ML-DSA, FALCON, and SLH-DSA (FIPS 205, formerly SPHINCS+) on EVM-compatible chains. The proposed EIP for NTT precompiles would benefit the entire Ethereum ecosystem, providing a 10-100$\times$ improvement over smart contract implementations.
As quantum computing advances rapidly, the blockchain community must act decisively to ensure long-term security. Our open-source implementation, available at \url{https://github.com/lux-network/ntt-evm}, provides an immediate path forward for projects seeking quantum resistance. We encourage the Ethereum community to consider our EIP proposal and begin the transition to post-quantum cryptography before it becomes critical.
The journey from 24M to 3.6M gas demonstrates that with careful optimization, even computationally intensive cryptographic operations can be made practical on constrained environments like the EVM. As the first production-ready NTT implementation for EVM, this work paves the way for a quantum-resistant future while maintaining full backward compatibility with existing smart contract ecosystems.
