The lower bound of Proposition 3(i): the asymptotics #
This file proves the last step of the lower bound in Proposition 3(i) of the paper (Section S1.6,
'Proof of Proposition 3(i), lower bound'): from the lower bound (S9) of Lemma S6 for fixed K,
the choices
c' = s(2 log K + 4 log log K)^{1/2}, c = (c' + r^{-1/2})/(1 − r^{-1/2}), and
K = ⌊log T/log r⌋ give liminf_{T→∞} Γ_T/log log T ≥ 1 − s²/(1 − r^{-1/2})², and letting
r → ∞ gives 1 − s². The bound (S9) enters as a hypothesis on a sequence Γ_T, so that the
results hold for every ρ > 0 and any numéraires of Q, as in the proof of Proposition S5.
The paper states the asymptotics with O and o terms. We make them explicit: for K ≥ 3 and
r ≥ 4, with L = log K and δ = 1 − r^{-1/2}, the right-hand side of (S9) is at least
(1 − s²/δ²)L − 28L^{1/2} − C₀ for a constant C₀ that depends only on s and ρ
(fixedKBound_lbLevel_ge), and log log T − log(2 log r) ≤ L ≤ log log T. The case of a
coefficient 1 − s²/δ² that is not positive does not occur, since we choose r with
1 − s²/δ² above the target rate.

The right-hand side of (S9) and the choice of c #
The right-hand side of eq. (S9) of Lemma S6,
β − (β − β')K exp{−c'²/(2s²)} − {2(c + 1)/γ + 2(c + 1)²/(3γ²)}/(K + 1), with
β = lbBeta s ρ K c, β' = lbBetaPrime s ρ, c' = lbCPrime r c, and γ = (ρ² + s²)^{1/2}.

The asymptotics in T #
The asymptotics of the lower bound in Proposition 3(i): if a sequence Γ_T is at least
the right-hand side of (S9) whenever Lemma S6 applies, then, for every a < 1 − s², eventually
a log log T < Γ_T. The parameters are K = ⌊log T/log r⌋, the level c of the paper, and an
r ≥ 4 with 1 − s²/(1 − r^{-1/2})² > max(a, 0).
