Module Lattice Security (Part I): Unconditional Verification of Weber's Conjecture for $k\le 12$

Weber’s conjecture (1886) governs three aspects of lattice-based cryptography: the solvability of the Principal Ideal Problem, the freeness of modules over rings of integers, and the tightness of worst-case-to-average-case reductions in Ring-LWE (R-LWE) and Module-LWE (MLWE). Existing verifications for $k\ge 9$ rely on Generalized Riemann Hypothesis (GRH). In this paper, we present the first unconditional proof for $k\le 12$. Our method combines the Fukuda-Komatsu computational sieve, inductive structure of the cyclotomic ${\mathbb{Z}}_2$-tower, and Herbrand’s theorem.
