Omniverse QED geo–phase damping in the hydrodynamic window: a first–principles route to Rayleigh–Taylor suppression for MagLIF

This Zenodo record archives the manuscript Ignition14 together with the deposited source materials corresponding to the archived version. The deposit includes the compiled PDF for direct reading and a ZIP source bundle containing the LaTeX manuscript, bibliography database, and figure assets needed to reconstruct the deposited manuscript package. The manuscript develops a first-principles Omniverse-QFT / Omniverse-QED framework in which multi-geometric-time locking reduces the internal geo-phase structure of hyper-propagators to a real, positive Laplace-type damping factor acting on off-shell loop kernels, while preserving the standard on-shell consistency conditions. Within this framework, the paper derives a k^2-selective damping law in the hydrodynamic window and applies it to Rayleigh-Taylor instability in magnetized-liner inertial fusion (MagLIF), yielding a quantitatively controlled route from O-QED microphysics to ignition-relevant suppression estimates, operational scaling relations, and falsifiable calibration targets. In addition to the formal derivation, the archived manuscript includes numerical diagnostics, parameter-space performance maps, control-parameter analyses, engineering interpretation, comparisons with standard linear RT theory, and an archival reproducibility appendix containing the exact source code associated with the deposited manuscript package. The PDF is provided for convenient access to the manuscript as a readable document. The ZIP archive is provided as the archival source bundle preserving the deposited materials in reproducible form. Current status: author-deposited manuscript and source package. If a later peer-reviewed journal publication appears, that formal publication should be regarded as the version of record.
