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.
Main definitions #
Physicslib4.AQFT.HaagKastlerCurved.HaagKastlerNet.IsCovariantFamily: a familyω : ∀ B, State 𝔘(B)is covariant ifω B a = ω (φ·B) (α_φ a)for every isometryφ, regionB, anda ∈ 𝔘(B).
Main results #
IsCovariantFamily.one: at the identity, covariance reduces to the canonical identification𝔘(B) = 𝔘(1·B)(viacovEquiv_one).IsCovariantFamily.comp: covariance composes - chaining throughφthenφ'expressesω Bvia the state onφ'·(φ·B).
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).
Equations
Instances For
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).
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.
