Covariant families of local states, curved spacetime #

This file mirrors Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastler.CovariantState for a Haag-Kastler net over an abstract Lorentzian spacetime M. The identity-component isometry action on the net is implemented fiberwise by the covariance equivalences α_φ : 𝔘(B) ≃⋆ₐ[ℂ] 𝔘(φ·B) (HaagKastlerNet.covEquiv, from Axiom 5). A covariant family of local states is a choice of state ω B on each local algebra 𝔘(B) that is intertwined by these equivalences.

Notes #

As in the Minkowski case, this is the local, fiberwise form of covariance. Lifting the fiberwise action to an automorphism group is realized per region by the stabilizer action stabAut (StabilizerAction.lean): for g fixing B, α_g is an automorphism of the single algebra 𝔘(B). Since curved spacetime has no quasilocal algebra, there is no global isometry-invariant vacuum; equilibrium is instead captured by KMS states for Killing flows (StabilizerKMS.lean).

A covariant family of local states assigns to every region B a state ω B on the local algebra 𝔘(B) such that the state on B is the pullback of the state on the isometric image φ·B along the covariance equivalence: ω B a = ω (φ·B) (α_φ a) for all φ, B, and a ∈ 𝔘(B).

    Covariance at the identity. For a covariant family, the state on B agrees with the state on 1·B transported along the canonical identification 𝔘(B) = 𝔘(1·B) (from one_smul).

    (ω B) a = (ω (φ' φ B)) ((N.covEquiv φ' (φ B)) ((N.covEquiv φ B) a))

    Covariance composes. Chaining covariance through φ and then φ' expresses the state on B via the state on φ'·(φ·B) and the composed equivalences.

    Fiberwise weak continuity of the covariance action (state-relative), curved spacetime. Mirror of Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastler.HaagKastlerNet.IsWeaklyContinuousAction.

    Continuity is measured relative to a state ω on the algebra of a containing region B. A fixed observable a ∈ 𝔘(B) is compared against the isometry-transported observable α_φ b of a b ∈ 𝔘(O) from a sub-region O. Since α_φ b lives in the different algebra 𝔘(φ·O), it is embedded back into 𝔘(B) along a supplied isotony inclusion incl (explicit data, not the existential isotony witness). The family is weakly continuous if for all a, b the matrix coefficient φ ↦ ω(a⋆ · ι_{φ·O ⊆ B}(α_φ b)) is continuous on the subspace of isometries keeping φ·O a basis set inside B.

    Because the abstract LorentzianSpacetime interface equips M.Isom with only a group and an action - no topology - the topology required to state continuity enters as an explicit [TopologicalSpace M.Isom] instance argument rather than as a field on the interface. The definition is otherwise identical to the Minkowski one and uses no quasilocal algebra, confirming that the fiberwise form ports cleanly to curved spacetime.
