Abstract twisted duality for quantum free Fermi fields (Q790393): Difference between revisions

Using the properties of standard subspaces of the 1-particle space for the free Fermi field \(\psi\) (h) we prove the twisted duality, i.e. \(R(M)^{\prime t}=R(iM')\) for the von Neumann algebras \(R(M)=\{\psi(h):h\in M\}''\) associated with real closed subspaces of the Hilbert space H. The algebra \(R(M)^ t\) results from R(M) by applying a Klein transformation and M' is the symplectic complement of M. This is done by applying the Tomita-Takesaki theorem. Let s be the canonical involution of a standard subspace M and \(s=j\delta^{1/2}\) the polar decomposition of s. We show that the Tomita-Takesaki operator with the property \(JR(M)J=R(M)'\) is given by the second quantization of the operator j. The following theorem is proven: Let \(M_{\alpha}\subset H\), \(\alpha\in I\) be a real closed subspace of H. Let \(R(M_{\alpha})\) be the von Neumann algebra associated with \(M_{\alpha}\). R(M) gives an isomorphism between the lattice of real subspaces and the sublattice of von Neumann algebras. Namely: i) \(R(M_ 1)\supset R(M_ 2)\) iff \(M_ 1\supset M_ 2.\) ii) \(R(M_ 1)=R(M_ 2)\) iff \(M_ 1=M_ 2.\) iii) Let \(\bigvee_{\alpha}M_{\alpha}=\overline{\sum_{\alpha}M_{\alpha}}\) be the closure of the set of all finite real linear combinations. Then we have: \(R(\bigvee_{\alpha}M_{\alpha})=\bigvee_{\alpha}R(M_{\alpha}).\) iv) \(R(\cap_{\alpha}M_{\alpha})=\bigwedge_{\alpha}R(M_{\alpha}).\) v) \(R(M){\prime t}=R(iM')\) (twisted duality).
