 \sum_{j=0}^d \alpha^i_j j^{i} = 1.
 \]
 This is a system of linear equations whose coefficients come from the first $i+1$ rows of a $(d+1) \times (d+1)$ Vandermonde matrix.  Because $d < p$, the determinant of such a matrix is non-zero and thus the matrix is invertible and $\alpha^i_j$ exist as desired.
 \end{proof}
 \begin{proof}[Proof of Lemma~\ref{lem:disctospec}]
-We prove the contrapositive.  Assume that $\cay^{(t)}(\Gamma, q, S')$ does not have spectral expansion $\lambda$, that is that there exist vectors $x_1, \ldots, x_t$ such that $\|x_i\|_{\ell_t} = 1$ for all $i$, but $(A_H-A_K)(x_1, \ldots, x_t) \geq \lambda$.  Let $1_{H, K} = \left(\frac{1}{|S'|}-\frac{1}{|S|}\right)(1_{S'}-1_{S})$.  Then
+We prove the contrapositive.  Assume that $\cay^{(t)}(\Gamma, q, S')$ does not have spectral expansion $\lambda$, that is that there exist vectors $x_1, \ldots, x_t$ such that $\|x_i\|_{\ell_t} = 1$ for all $i$, but $(A_H-A_K)(x_1, \ldots, x_t) \geq \lambda$.  Let $1_{H, K} = \frac{1_{S'}}{|S'|}-\frac{1_{S}}{|S|}$.  Then
  \begin{equation}
-(A_H-A_K)(x_1, \ldots, x_t) = \frac{1}{t!} \sum_{\sigma \in S_t} \mathbb{E}_{u, g}[x_1(ug^{\sigma(1)-1})x_2(ug^{\sigma(2)-1})\cdots x_t(ug^{\sigma(t)-1})1_{H, K}(g)]. \label{eq:unravel}
+(A_H-A_K)(x_1, \ldots, x_t) = \frac{|\Gamma|^2}{t!} \sum_{\sigma \in S_t} \mathbb{E}_{u, g}[x_1(ug^{\sigma(1)-1})x_2(ug^{\sigma(2)-1})\cdots x_t(ug^{\sigma(t)-1})1_{H, K}(g)]. \label{eq:unravel}
 \end{equation}
   By the Lemma~\ref{lem:genvn},~\eqref{eq:unravel} is bounded above by $\|1_{H, K}\|_{U^t}$.  By the inverse Gowers theorem, there exists a polynomial $P$ of degree $t-1$ such that $\mathbb{E}_{h}[e(P(g)) 1_{H, K}] \geq \epsilon$ for some $\epsilon$.  By Lemma~\ref{lem:decomp}, there exist $P_0, \ldots, P_{t-1}$ such that \[e(P_0(x))e(P_1(x+y))\cdots e(P_{t-1}(x+(t-1)y)) = e(P(y)),\] and therefore \[\mathbb{E}_{u, g}[e(P_0(u))e(P_1(ug))\cdots e(P_{t-1}(ug^{t-1})) 1_{H, K}] = \mathbb{E}_{h}[e(P(g)) 1_{H, K}] \geq \epsilon,\]
 and
 \[
 (A_H-A_K)(e(P_0), \ldots, e(P_{t-1})) \geq \frac{\epsilon}{t!}.
+(A_H-A_K)(e(P_0), \ldots, e(P_{t-1})) \geq \frac{\epsilon|\Gamma|^2}{t!}.
 \]
 Because the coordinates of $e(P_i)$ are bounded above in absolute value by $1$ for all $i$, by Lemma~\ref{lem:disctoinfty}, this implies that $H$ has discrepancy at least $\epsilon/(t!\pi^t)$ with respect to $K$.
