The Tensor Product on Hilbert Spaces (Q7361799)

We formalize the tensor product of Hilbert spaces, and related material. Specifically, we define the product of vectors in Hilbert spaces, of operators on Hilbert spaces, and of subspaces of Hilbert spaces, and of von Neumann algebras, and study their properties. The theory is based on the AFP entry Complex_Bounded_Operators that introduces Hilbert spaces and operators and related concepts, but in addition to their work, we defined and study a number of additional concepts needed for the tensor product. Specifically: Hilbert-Schmidt and trace-class operators; compact operators; positive operators; the weak operator, strong operator, and weak * topology; the spectral theorem for compact operators; and the double commutant theorem.
