Preliminaries on the corners c M c ⊆ p M p #
A central element c of p M p satisfies p c = c.
A central element c of p M p satisfies c p = c.
Each term of a POVM summing to the projection c lies in the corner c M c.
Each term of a POVM summing to a projection is ≤ 1.
Normal functionals along bounded weak-operator convergent nets #
A functional of the form x ↦ ∑ₖ ⟪gₖ, x gₖ⟫ on M, with ∑ ‖gₖ‖² < ∞, is continuous
along bounded weak-operator convergent nets of M (Tannery's theorem).
Bounded weak-operator continuity of a normal functional. Under the representation
hypothesis hH0 (a functional positive and normal on M is ∑ₖ ⟪gₖ, · gₖ⟫ on M with
∑ ‖gₖ‖² < ∞), such a functional is continuous along bounded weak-operator convergent
nets of M, indexed by any type.
The constraint set C #
The one-coordinate constraint: T ∈ c M c, 0 ≤ T ≤ 1, T commuting with a, as a set
of operators with the weak operator topology.
Equations
Instances For
0 ≤ T ≤ 1 forces ‖T‖ ≤ 1.
The one-coordinate constraint set is weak-operator closed.
The one-coordinate constraint set is convex.
The box of tuples with every coordinate in the one-coordinate constraint set.
Equations
- Orthogonalization.MvN.coordBox M c a = Set.univ.pi fun (i : Fin n) => Orthogonalization.MvN.coordSet M c (a i)
Instances For
The set C of Lemma 3.1: tuples of the corner c M c with 0 ≤ xᵢ ≤ 1, xᵢ commuting
with aᵢ, and ∑ᵢ E(xᵢ) = c, as a subset of the product of weak-operator topologies.
Equations
Instances For
C lies in the unit ball of the product.
(a₁, …, aₙ) belongs to C.
C is convex.
C is weak-operator closed. For x in the closure of C, the truncated coordinate
nets y ↦ yᵢ (along the trace of 𝓝 x on C) are bounded and weak-operator convergent to
xᵢ, so by normality of E the nets E(yᵢ) converge weakly to E(xᵢ); summing, the constant
value c of ∑ᵢ E(yᵢ) on C is the weak limit ∑ᵢ E(xᵢ).
C is weak-operator compact: closed and contained in the unit ball of the product,
which is compact by isCompact_setOf_norm_le.
The objective x ↦ Re φ(∑ᵢ xᵢ aᵢ) #
The objective is continuous on C for a normal φ: along the trace of 𝓝 x on C,
the net ∑ᵢ yᵢ aᵢ is bounded, in M, and weak-operator convergent to ∑ᵢ xᵢ aᵢ.
Perturbing one coordinate #
The tuple e with its i-th coordinate replaced by eᵢ + t b.
Equations
- Orthogonalization.MvN.perturb e i b t = Function.update e i (ContinuousLinearMapWOT.ofCLM ((e i).toCLM + ↑t • b))
Instances For
A perturbation e + t b along a self-adjoint b ∈ c M c commuting with aᵢ, with
E b = 0 and keeping the i-th coordinate in [0, 1], stays in C.
The Krein–Milman step #
The Krein–Milman step of Lemma 3.1 (paper, Section 3): on the corner c M c of the
finite corner p M p with center-valued trace E, the set C of tuples (xᵢ) of c M c with
0 ≤ xᵢ ≤ 1, xᵢ commuting with aᵢ and ∑ E(xᵢ) = c is weak-operator compact and convex, the
functional x ↦ φ(∑ xᵢ aᵢ) is continuous on it, and an extreme point of the maximizing face
exists; extremality is recorded coordinatewise: no nonzero self-adjoint b ∈ c M c commuting with
aᵢ with E b = 0 keeps xᵢ ± t b in [0, 1] for small t.
