7 Invariant states Simone Murro (Universität Freiburg) Sp(2, Z)-invariant states AQFT, / 10 Sp(2, Z)-invariant states Denitions: A Sp(2, Z)-invariant state ω if for any Φ Θ Aut (A), Θ Sp(2, Z) it holds - ω(a a) 0 - ω(1 A ) = 1 - ω Φ Θ = ω NB: To construct ω, it is enough to prescribe its values on the generators of A 1 if m = (0, 0) ω(w m) = p (m) C else for a sequence of values p (m) and then extend it by linearity to any a A Theorem The only Sp(2, Z)-invariant state on A is the trace state τ dened by 1 if m = (0, 0) τ(w m) = 0 else τ is obviously invariant: τ(φ Θ W m) = τ(w θm ) = 1 if m = (0, 0) 0 else

8 Invariant states Simone Murro (Universität Freiburg) Sp(2, Z)-invariant states AQFT, / 10 Sketch of the proof I Assume by contraddiction there exists Sp(2, Z)-invariant state ω (dierent from τ!) 1 if χ = (0, 0) ω(w χ) = p (χ) C else Goal: Sp(2, Z)-invariance p (χ) = 0 for any χ 0= ω τ (1) By positivity of ω = ω(w χ) = ω(w χ ) (2) By Sp(2, Z)-invariance = ω(w χ) = ω(w χ ) = ω(w χ ) = ω(w Idχ ) = ω(w χ) (3) Choosing a = W 0 + W χ ω(a a) 0 ====== 1 p 2 0 (4) Hence, any Sp(2, Z)-invariant states reads as 1 if χ = (0, 0) ω(w χ) = p (χ) [ 1, 1] else Next, we choose a more suitable χ without loosing of generality (5) Fix χ 0 (6) By previous Prop: For any χ there exists Θ Sp(2, Z) st Θχ = ξ = (ξ 1, ξ 1 ) (7) In particular Sp(2, Z)-invariance = ω(w χ) = ω(w ξ ) = p

9 Invariant states Simone Murro (Universität Freiburg) Sp(2, Z)-invariant states AQFT, / 10 Sketch of the proof II m n (8) Let m, n N st N and n > 1 and consider V ξ; m,n A with elements of the form a = α 0 W (0,0) + ( 1 + m m (n 1)j α j W Θj ξ with Θ j := n j ) Sp(2, Z) n 1 1 j 1 (9) For any V ξ; m,n, the map a ω(a a) is a quadratic form ω(a a) = α t H α 1 p p p p p p 1 q me ıϕm,n q 2m e 2ıϕm,n q 3m e 3ıϕm,n q 4m e 4ıϕm,n p q me ıϕm,n 1 q me ıϕm,n q 2m e 2ıϕm,n q 3m e 3ıϕm,n p q H = 2m e 2ıϕm,n q me ıϕm,n 1 q me ıϕm,n q 2m e 2ıϕm,n p q 3m e 3ıϕm,n q 2m e 2ıϕm,n q me ıϕm,n 1 q me ıϕmn p q 4m e 4ıϕm,n q 3m e 3ıϕm,n q 2m e 2ıϕm,n q me ıϕm,n 1 where q (i j)m := ω(w Θi ξ Θ j ξ) and ϕ m,n := hmnξ 2 2 (10) Notation: H = [ p, 1, q me ıϕm,n, q 2m e ı2ϕm,n, q 3m e ı3ϕm,n, ]

10 Invariant states Simone Murro (Universität Freiburg) Sp(2, Z)-invariant states AQFT, / 10 Sketch of the proof III (11) On (d + 1)-D subspace V d;n V ξ; m,n the restriction of H to V d;n reads H n = [ p, 1, qmeı 2π d n, q 2m e 2ı 2π d n, q 3m e 3ı 2π d n,, q (d 1)m e (d 1)ı 2π d n ] + ε ( idea: := h m is irrational m N big enough st 2π d! N and (h m ξ2 2 ) We can now argue that p has to be 0: (12) We can notice that the set of positive Hermitian matrices form a convex cone (13) The matrix P d := [p; 1; 0; 0; ; 0] can be obtained as the convex combination P d = d n=1 1 d H n mod (2π) 2π d < ε ) 4d 2 (14) For d big enough det(p d ) = 1 dp2 < 0 P n not positive H n not positive (15) Hence p = 0 is a necessary condition for ω being an Sp(2, Z)-invariant state (16) This holds for every m Z 2 = therefore the only Sp(2, Z)-invariant state is τ
