GHZ contradiction for N congruent to 3 modulo 4 ($N\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$)

For $|G_N^{-}⟩=(|0{⟩}^{\otimes N}-|1{⟩}^{\otimes N})/\sqrt{2}$, let $O_j$ have one Pauli X gate at site $j$ and Pauli Y gates elsewhere, and let $X_N=X^{\otimes N}$. The relations $Y|0⟩=i|1⟩$, $Y|1⟩=-i|0⟩$ show that $O_j|G_N^{-}⟩$ is proportional to $|G_N^{-}⟩$ exactly when $N$ is odd. In that case its eigenvalue is ${\lambda }_N=(-1{)}^{(N+1)/2}$, while $X_N$ always has eigenvalue $-1$.

Under the EPR criterion of reality and locality, each site's $X$ and $Y$ outcomes have predetermined values $x_j,y_j\in \{\pm 1\}$. Multiplying the $N$ certain equations $x_j{\prod }_{k\ne j}{y}_k={\lambda }_N$ gives ${\prod }_j{x}_j={\lambda }_N$ when $N$ is odd, since every $y_k$ appears an even number of times. This contradicts the certain quantum value $-1$ precisely when $N\equiv 3(\mathrm{mod}4)$. Thus the displayed GHZ state gives an infinite family of perfect-correlation contradictions with local hidden-variable theory, without an inequality.
