def:local-commutativity-in-curved-spacetime (Axiom 3 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):
Let
๐โ,๐โbe Alexandrov-basis sets. If๐โand๐โare completely spacelike, then for any basis element๐with๐โ, ๐โ โ ๐the algebras๐(๐โ)and๐(๐โ)commute inside๐(๐), i.e.i(aโ) i(aโ) - i(aโ) i(aโ) = 0, whereiis the isotony*-monomorphism (Axiom 2). If no such๐exists, no condition is imposed.

Modelling notes #
This is the point where the curved axioms genuinely diverge from the Minkowski ones: there is no global quasilocal algebra on a generic Lorentzian spacetime, so commutativity cannot be phrased inside one ambient C*-algebra. Instead we quantify over a common containing basis set
B(when one exists) and assert commutativity inside the local algebra๐(B), transported there by the isotony embeddingsi : ๐(Bแตข) โช ๐(B).The isotony embeddings used are exactly those of Axiom 2; we existentially bind a coherent family
ฮนof injective unital*-monomorphisms (one per basis-set inclusion) and require their images to commute. When no common containing basis setBexists, the universally quantified condition is vacuously satisfied, matching the blueprint's "if no such๐exists, it doesn't make sense to ask whether they commute".
Axiom 3 (Local Commutativity), curved spacetime. A local net U
on a Lorentzian spacetime M satisfies local commutativity if
there is a coherent family of isotony *-monomorphisms
ฮน : ๐(Bโ) โช ๐(Bโ) (for inclusions Bโ โ Bโ of basis sets) such
that whenever two basis sets Bโ, Bโ are completely spacelike and
both contained in a common basis set B, their images in ๐(B)
under the isotony embeddings commute pointwise.
If no common containing basis set exists, no constraint is imposed, reflecting that there is then no algebra in which to compare them.
