How statement and proof provenance work
The first chip identifies the source of the statement or construction; the second identifies the source of its local proof or verification.
- Literature-sourced: the exact statement appears in a cited source; only wording and notation differ.
- AI-adapted: a semantically identical restatement of literature-sourced material, modulo indexing, notation, and boundary cases adopted by the library.
- AI-generated: a genuinely novel statement formulated by AI, with no source for the claim itself.
These labels describe origin, not correctness: citations and verification chips remain separate evidence.
The imprimitivity reconstruction map is isometric and intertwining
Statement
Assume AC. In the normalized model of a transitive system on , take the Borel unitaries and the stabilizer representation supplied by the preceding lemma. Multiplication by is unitary and This is the canonical induced action of . Moreover for all Borel . Hence is unitarily equivalent to the canonical induced system by an isometric map intertwining both and .
Facts & Assumptions
Given: AC, the normalized transitive system with multiplicity model , cocycle fields , Borel unitaries and stabilizer representation .
The multiplicity-normalized model is with , and the source-variable cocycle fields satisfy , where (Spectral multiplicity model of a transitive system of imprimitivity, Measurable cocycle fields for a multiplicity-normalized system, Direct integral of a measurable Hilbert field).
The stabilizer lemma supplies, after the strict normalization, the identity for every and every , with (The stabilizer acts unitarily on an imprimitivity fibre, Borel cross-sections for closed subgroups of second-countable locally compact Hausdorff groups).
The canonical induced model of on the covariant completion with rho-measure has action on covariant and is independent of the choice of rho-function and of the equivalent measure representative in the class (An induced representation carries a canonical system of imprimitivity on , Continuous covariant model and measurable completion, Unitary cocycle-corrected left action, Unitary induction from a closed subgroup, Independence of rho and equivalent quotient representative).
Multiplication by a Borel field of unitary operators is unitary on the direct integral and commutes with every ; the commutant of the multiplications consists of the decomposable operators (Decomposable operators are the commutant of diagonal multiplication, Direct integral of a measurable Hilbert field).
Proof
Given: AC, the normalized model with and the cocycle fields.
Multiplication by the Borel unitary field is a unitary of by [F4], and it commutes with every because commutes with the operator in every fibre.
Action computation: for in the model, using [F1] and then the strict factorization [F2] evaluated at the source point , where , so the -factors cancel and the result is . By [F3] this is exactly the canonical induced action of in section coordinates: identifying a square-integrable section with the covariant function determined by and , one has because and , so the induced formula becomes the displayed action; the measure lies in the class used by the induced model by [F3].
PVM transport: commutes with , so for every Borel .
Consequently the composite is a unitary (a composite of unitaries), and by [step 2.1] and [step 2.2] it intertwines with the canonical induced action and with multiplication by . Being unitary, is isometric; the target is identified with the induced space of by [F3].
Thus the transitive system is unitarily equivalent to the canonical induced system of by the isometric intertwiner , which is the reconstruction map of the statement.
