Axiom 3: Local Commutativity #
This file formalises the blueprint declaration
def:local-commutativity (Axiom 3 of the "sharpened" Haag-Kastler
axioms, section 10.6 of the AQFT-in-Lean blueprint):
If two Alexandrov-basis sets
𝐁₁,𝐁₂are completely spacelike with respect to each other, then for every Alexandrov-basis set𝐁containing both, the isotony images of𝔘(𝐁₁)and𝔘(𝐁₂)commute in the local algebra𝔘(𝐁).
This is the curved-spacetime Axiom 3 (HaagKastlerCurved.LocalCommutativity)
with the Minkowski basis sets; the only difference is that in Minkowski
spacetime a containing basis set always exists (alexandrovBasis_directed).

Main results #
Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastler.QuasilocalAlgebra.commute_ι_iff_commute_map: commutation of two local images in a quasilocal algebra is equivalent to commutation of their isotony images in a common local algebra𝔘(B).Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastler.LocalCommutativity.commute_ι(lmm:local-commutativity-any-quasilocal): Axiom 3 implies commutation in every quasilocal algebra of the net, in particular in the canonical one.Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastler.localCommutativity_iff_exists_commute_ι(lmm:local-commutativity-iff-quasilocal): Axiom 3 is equivalent to commutation in some quasilocal algebra.
Axiom 3 (local commutativity): observables of completely spacelike diamonds commute.
Let B₁ and B₂ be completely spacelike diamonds: every point of one is spacelike to every point of the other. To multiply an element of 𝔘(B₁) by one of 𝔘(B₂), both must lie in one algebra. The axiom takes any diamond B containing both and asks that
i(B₁, B)(a₁) i(B₂, B)(a₂) = i(B₂, B)(a₂) i(B₁, B)(a₁)
in 𝔘(B) for all a₁ ∈ 𝔘(B₁) and a₂ ∈ 𝔘(B₂), where i is the isotony family of Axiom 2. In
Minkowski spacetime such a B always exists (Spacetime.alexandrovBasis_directed), so the
condition is never vacuous. The statement uses the net and isotony only. It is equivalent to the
commutation of ι_B₁(a₁) and ι_B₂(a₂) in a quasilocal algebra
(localCommutativity_iff_exists_commute_ι), and then holds in every quasilocal algebra
(LocalCommutativity.commute_ι).

Instances For
Commutation in a quasilocal algebra is decided locally. For basis sets
B₁, B₂ ⊆ B, the images Q.ι hB₁ a and Q.ι hB₂ b commute in Q.carrier iff
the isotony images of a and b commute in the local algebra 𝔘(B). The
condition on the right does not mention Q.
Axiom 3 holds in every quasilocal algebra. Commutation of completely-spacelike
local algebras in a common containing 𝔘(B) transfers, through the cocone condition and
QuasilocalAlgebra.commute_ι_iff_commute_map, to commutation of their images in every
QuasilocalAlgebra U i, in particular in the canonical one built by
exists_quasilocalAlgebra.

Axiom 3 in the quasilocal algebra. A net satisfies Axiom 3 if and only if there is a
quasilocal algebra in which the images of any two completely-spacelike local algebras commute.
By LocalCommutativity.commute_ι the commutation then holds in every quasilocal algebra.
