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.
Unique tracial KMS state is not vacuum normal
Example
Let , with , and take the zero Hermitian onsite Hamiltonian in joules. Fix any in joule-seconds and let have units inverse joules. The onsite dynamics is for in seconds, and the KMS strip has width seconds, with the convention of Unique onsite product Gibbs KMS state. For every such , the unique quasi-local KMS state has local densities It is tracial on the full quasi-local algebra, but has no normal extension to the finite-excitation vacuum representation.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , the local spin algebra, and the zero onsite model with the energy, time, positive hbar and inverse-energy beta conventions just specified.
Countable Choice is the completion assumption carried by Local spin matrix algebras and their factor inclusions and Unique onsite product Gibbs KMS state (The Axiom of Countable Choice ()).
Unique onsite product Gibbs KMS state: under and its finite-matrix hypotheses [A2], for , and the unique KMS state has local density . Those finite-matrix hypotheses are the clauses in [F3] below.
Thermal product state has no normal vacuum extension: under and the same finite-matrix hypotheses retained from [F1], if and the onsite Gibbs density is full rank, this KMS state has no normal extension to .
Local spin matrix algebras and their factor inclusions, Definition: every finite region has a nonzero complex Hilbert space of dimension , with inner product linear in the first argument, and with the induced operator norm. Its finite-matrix clauses give ; positive complex-linear functionals are exactly for unique , with functional norm , so normalization is equivalent to trace one. These clauses are supplied by the proved finite-matrix lemma cited in that Definition, including the empty region of dimension one. Every pair of local observables embeds into a common finite-region matrix algebra, where the finite trace is cyclic.
Norm-completed quasi-local quantum spin algebra: the strictly local algebra is , and the quasi-local algebra is its norm completion ; therefore strictly local observables are norm dense in .
Verification
Given: [A1], [F1]–[F4], and arbitrary local observables.
For every finite region, , so the finite-matrix clauses in [F3] apply and discharge exactly the C*-identity and positive-functional/density hypotheses of [F1]. Together with Countable Choice [A1], , and , these meet its hypotheses. Since and , the density is , so , and [F1] identifies its extension as the unique -KMS state.
If are local, embed them into a common finite region using [F3]. Then by finite-matrix trace cyclicity.
For arbitrary , norm density from [F4] and Countable Choice [A1] give local sequences and . Their norms are bounded, and with the same estimate after exchanging and . Boundedness of the state then gives and . Step 2.1 gives equality at each , so ; the state is tracial on the full algebra.
The density has all eigenvalues , hence is full rank, and its reference diagonal entry is because . Countable Choice [A1] and the finite-matrix clauses [F3] were discharged in step 1.1 for this same onsite model. Thus every hypothesis retained in [F2] holds, and the unique tracial KMS state has no normal extension in the finite-excitation vacuum representation.
