Strange compile error

[Steve Hnizdur]

Hi






Any thoughts.


Error
**************************************************************************************

! Argument of \zap@to@space has an extra }.
<inserted text>
                \par
l.20 ...t\Vert P_{1}\right\Vert ^{m_{1}}\dots\left

I've run across a `}' that doesn't seem to match anything.
For example, `\def\a#1{...}' and `\a}' would produce
this error. If you simply proceed now, the `\par' that
I've just inserted will cause me to report a runaway
argument that might be the root of the problem. But if
your `}' was spurious, just type `2' and it will go away.

Runaway argument?
\left..........
! Paragraph ended before \zap@to@space was complete.
<to be read again>
                   \par
l.20 ...t\Vert P_{1}\right\Vert ^{m_{1}}\dots\left

I suspect you've forgotten a `}', causing me to apply this
control sequence to too much text. How can we recover?
My plan is to forget the whole thing and hope for the best.

Runaway argument?
! Paragraph ended before \macro@ was complete.

                   \par

! Missing $ inserted.
<inserted text>
                $
l.20 ...t\Vert P_{1}\right\Vert ^{m_{1}}\dots\left

I've inserted a begin-math/end-math symbol since I think
you left one out. Proceed, with fingers crossed.

! Display math should end with $$.

                   \par
l.20 ...t\Vert P_{1}\right\Vert ^{m_{1}}\dots\left

The `$' that I just saw supposedly matches a previous `$$'.
So I shall assume that you typed `$$' both times.

Runaway argument?
\meaning@ \not@ \ifgtest@ \gdef \thedots@ {\dotsb@ }\else \@xp \DOTS@ \ETC.
! Paragraph ended before \macro@ was complete.

! LaTeX Error: \begin{equation*} on input line 19 ended by \end{document}.

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.
 ...

l.24 \end{document}

Your command was ignored.
Type  I <command> <return>  to replace it with another command,
or  <return>  to continue without it.

Attached is a lyx file which when complied with ctrl-R gives the error below copied from the error log. It also fails if I try to compile it as a native .tex file. The error goes away if the \dots is removed and it also goes away if the "Number Equations by Section" Module is removed. \Vert P_{r}\right\Vert ^{m... \Vert P_{r}\right\Vert ^{m... \Vert P_{r}\right\Vert ^{m... \Vert P_{r}\right\Vert ^{m... \Vert P_{r}\right\Vert ^{m...
