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.
Bounded local photon Weyl observable algebra
Statement
Assume Countable Choice and use the Minkowski coordinates and separation condition of Local covariant physical field-strength observables, so . Use the Hilbert space and projection of Positive transverse photon one-particle space: with pairing , the matrix for and , and its bounded multiplication operator , . The value at zero is immaterial in , and has the inherited Hilbert pairing. A spacetime region means an open subset of in its standard topology. A real antisymmetric test is supported in when each component has support contained in . Two open regions are spacelike separated when for every and . Let be the one-particle vector for such a test from Local covariant physical field-strength observables. The space is separable in its Hilbert norm topology: it is the range of on the separable space . Define where is the Weyl unitary of Self-adjoint Segal fields and explicit Weyl unitaries. It is bounded and unitary, and its one-parameter group has the self-adjoint field-strength closure as generator. For every open region , let be the norm-closed unital -algebra generated by for real antisymmetric tests supported in ; equivalently its bounded real and imaginary parts are included as observables. If are spacelike separated by the stated Minkowski condition, then and commute.

Proof
Given: [A1], [F1]–[F4], and the second-variable-linear Fock pairing.
Let be the real countable dense family in [F3]. By [F5], is countable and dense in complex scalar , because the squared norm of a complex error is the sum of the squared real- and imaginary-part errors. Iterating [F5], its finite triple product gives a countable dense set . By [F7], is dense in : for and , . Its image is at most countable by enumerating the projected elements. By [F6], is separable, so [F4] applies to this positive Hilbert space with its second-variable-linear pairing and gives a bounded unitary for every .
From [F1]–[F2], on , For spacelike-separated supports the left side vanishes by [F1], hence .
The supplier's one-parameter group generated by the closed Segal field gives with generator , which is the closure of from [F1]. Thus is the bounded Weyl observable associated to this field strength. It is unitary, and its real and imaginary parts are bounded self-adjoint operators with norm at most one.
The Weyl relation [F4] gives By step 2.1 the phase is one for spacelike-separated tests, so and commute. Products, adjoints, and norm limits preserve commutation; therefore the norm-closed algebras of two spacelike-separated regions commute. Since , these algebras are unital.
