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, 𝐁₂ are completely spacelike with respect to each other, then for every Alexandrov-basis set 𝐁 containing both, the isotony images of 𝔘(𝐁₁) and 𝔘(𝐁₂) commute in the local algebra 𝔘(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).

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).

    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.
