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.
Finite-range interacting quantum spin KMS existence
Statement
Let , , have finite on-site spin dimension and quasi-local spin algebra . Let be a uniformly bounded finite-range interaction with free-boundary finite-volume Hamiltonians, and let be the strongly continuous thermodynamic dynamics of Strongly continuous thermodynamic spin automorphism group. Fix and . Assume Countable Choice, the finite-matrix C-identity, and the finite-matrix state/density-norm interface exactly as stated in Facts [A1]–[A2].
For any increasing finite exhaustion , extend each finite Gibbs density on by normalized trace densities on the outside sites, as in Uniform local Gibbs strip limits. Every pointwise convergent subsequence of these algebraic states has a limit that is a -KMS state for in physical time, with strip width . At least one such subsequential limit exists under [A1]–[A2].
The conclusion is a conditional mathematical existence result for bounded finite-dimensional spin interactions. It does not assert uniqueness, clustering, phase classification, a global infinite-volume Gibbs density matrix, or dynamical relaxation to equilibrium.
Facts & Assumptions
Given: , finite , , , , a uniformly bounded finite-range interaction , and the free-boundary thermodynamic dynamics.
Countable Choice and the finite-matrix C-identity are the exact assumptions of Strongly continuous thermodynamic spin automorphism group. The current Finite matrix C-star algebra and density-state duality carrier proves that identity for every nonzero finite local matrix algebra, but remains a draft pending independent review; the dynamics supplier still states the identity as a hypothesis. This theorem therefore records the exact conditional input and does not claim independent acceptance of either draft.
The finite-matrix state/density correspondence and norm-one trace-functional clauses in Finite matrix C-star algebra and density-state duality are assumed exactly as used by Consistent local densities extend to an algebraic state and Sequential compactness of the quasi-local spin state space. They are present in a complete current draft argument, but this theorem carries them as explicit conditional inputs and makes no independent acceptance claim.
Infinite algebraic state and finite-region restrictions: an algebraic state is a bounded normalized positive functional on the quasi-local algebra; it is not assumed to be represented by a global trace-class density.
Norm-completed quasi-local quantum spin algebra and Quasi-local algebra completion and locality: the strictly local algebra is norm dense in ; the completion proof uses the finite-matrix C-identity of [A1] through Finite matrix C-star algebra and density-state duality.
Strongly continuous thermodynamic spin automorphism group: under [A1], is a strongly continuous group of isometric -automorphisms and finite-volume dynamics converge in norm on local observables uniformly on compact real-time intervals.
Uniform local Gibbs strip limits: under [A1]–[A2], the product-extended finite Gibbs states have pointwise convergent subsequences, and every such limit has bounded analytic strip functions with the required lower and upper boundaries for each local pair.
Bounded KMS strip norm and zero-edge uniqueness: bounded strip functions with boundary suprema at most have the same bound throughout, and their locally uniform limits are unique when their lower boundary values are fixed.
Locally uniform limits of holomorphic functions are holomorphic and their derivatives converge locally uniformly: a locally uniform limit of holomorphic functions on an open set is holomorphic.
Finite unitary dynamics and Gibbs KMS identity: each finite Gibbs density has the KMS strip identity for its finite-volume Heisenberg group. Its current Step 1 record is ready against the current Finite matrix spectral and state calculus supplier; it is a finite-volume identity and supplies no infinite-volume result.
Proof
Given: [A1]–[A2], [F1]–[F7], the finite-range interaction, and a pointwise limit supplied by [F4].
The local algebra is norm dense in by [F2]. Fix arbitrary . Choose sequences with and in norm. They are bounded sequences, so set and .
For each , [F4] gives a bounded continuous strip function holomorphic in , , with lower and upper boundaries and ; the finite-volume Gibbs boundary input used by [F4] is the exact identity in [F7]. On both boundaries, the state norm and the isometry of from [A2]–[F3] give modulus at most . Since is already bounded by [F4], applying [F5] to gives throughout . For , each boundary difference is bounded uniformly in real by , because by [A2] and each is isometric by [F3]. Applying the three-lines estimate of [F5] to the bounded function gives . Since and are norm-Cauchy, as . Thus is uniformly Cauchy on the whole closed strip.
The uniform limit exists on because is complete. It is bounded by and continuous on as a uniform limit of bounded continuous functions. The convergence is locally uniform in the open strip, so [F6] makes holomorphic on .
For fixed real , the lower boundaries converge to : indeed, , using and isometry of . The right-hand side tends to zero. The same calculation with the order reversed shows the upper boundaries converge to . Since uniformly on , its two edge values are therefore the required KMS boundary values.
Steps 3.1 and 4.1 show that for every the bounded continuous function is holomorphic inside and has the two boundaries in Physical-time KMS strip equilibrium condition. Thus is a -KMS state for in physical time. Existence of at least one such subsequential is supplied conditionally by [F4].
Remarks
The theorem uses finite Gibbs states only as an existence construction. It does not identify all KMS states with limits of a particular boundary condition, infer that all stationary states are KMS, or turn the mathematical criterion into an empirical claim about thermalization.
