Axiom 5 (Isometric Covariance), curved spacetime #

This file formalises the blueprint declaration def:isometric-covariance-in-curved-spacetime (Axiom 5 of the Haag-Kastler axioms on a Lorentzian spacetime, Chapter 10 (sections/sec10/10-4_haag-kastler-axioms-in-curved-spacetime) of the AQFT-in-Lean blueprint):

A member φ of the group of isometries of M connected to the identity acts on 𝔘(𝐁) via a unital *-isomorphism α_φ : 𝔘(𝐁) → 𝔘(φ(𝐁)), where φ(𝐁) is the image of the basis set. The action satisfies (1) α_𝟙 = id, (2) α_{φ'·φ} = α_{φ'} ∘ α_φ, and (3) it commutes with the isotony monomorphism i (Axiom 2).

Axiom 5 (Isometric Covariance), curved spacetime. A local net U on a Lorentzian spacetime M is isometrically covariant if the group M.Isom of identity-component isometries acts on the assignment B ↦ U.algebra B and the action

(1) sends the identity isometry to the identity automorphism, (2) is multiplicative in the group element, α (φ' · φ) = α φ' ∘ α φ, and (3) commutes with isotony.

Concretely, there exist:

  • for every isometry φ : M.Isom and every Alexandrov-basis set B, a *-algebra equivalence α φ B : U.algebra B ≃⋆ₐ[ℂ] U.algebra (φ • B);
  • for every inclusion B₁ ⊆ B₂ of basis sets, a choice of isotony *-monomorphism ι B₁ B₂ : U.algebra B₁ →⋆ₐ[ℂ] U.algebra B₂;

such that (1) α 1 B a = a, (2) α (φ' * φ) B a = α φ' (φ • B) (α φ B a), and (3) for every φ and inclusion B₁ ⊆ B₂, the action commutes with the isotony inclusion.
