Source cyclicity and strong shell sums extend the canonical CAR orbit
isometry to the whole target.
Statement
Let
be the completed CAR algebra, the completion of the matrix system
,
and let
be its normalized trace. Fix a representative shell family: for each
chosen pure-GNS class
it specifies an automorphism
and partial isometries
between the transported and root shells. Fix the links
chosen by this family in the selected atomic representation
.
Throughout this Card,
Thus
is the already constructed concrete unital C*-algebra, and
is its injective source map. The links and target are kept fixed. A
state means a positive continuous complex linear functional taking
to
.
Let
and
be unital star representations on complex Hilbert spaces. Suppose
and
have dense target orbits and realize the same source trace:
There exists a unitary
with
and
for every
.
Assumptions
Both Hilbert spaces are complete. The source trace identities and
density of the two target orbits are the hypotheses. The vectors
automatically have norm
by taking
.
No irreducibility of either representation and no norm separability of
is required.
Conclusion
The resulting unitary is pointed and intertwines the entire fixed
target. Source intertwining is obtained first; intertwining the added
generators is a separate strong-limit step.
All shell convergence used below is proved inside each actual
representation. The argument does not pass strong convergence through an
arbitrary star homomorphism. A star on a bounded operator denotes its
Hilbert adjoint, corresponding to Lean’s postfix dagger on continuous
linear operators.
Proof route
Trace estimates kill the residual flag projections on the
source-cyclic subspace. Reduction and target cyclicity make this
subspace the entire Hilbert space. Pointed CAR transport can then be
passed through the shell limits and extended by norm generation.
Proof steps
Write
for the decreasing root projections,
,
and
for the automorphism selected for class
.
The shell operators satisfy
and
.
The normalized source trace has
.
Traciality on these supports gives
Together with
,
this yields
,
as recorded by the transported-flag trace theorem.
Put
.
For every fixed
,
apply the projection-orbit estimate separately to the root projection
and the transported projection
:
Both right-hand sides tend to zero as
.
These estimates use the tracial source vector state
;
no traciality of a state on
is used.
Actual-target shell reconstruction provides strong limits
of the represented shell and adjoint-shell sums, intersection
projections
for the transported and root flags, and a residual operator
,
with
where
.
For every
,
the intersection projection satisfies
.
Hence, for every fixed
,
The left-hand side is independent of
,
so
.
Using
and the root-projection estimate gives
as well. Continuity extends both equalities to
,
so
.
Therefore
;
taking adjoints of the support relation gives
and
.
The closed subspace
reduces the source action. Both the shell sums and their adjoints
preserve it, so their strong limits preserve it as well. The preceding
residual equalities show
and
.
Hence
reduces all generators, and therefore the norm-closed algebra they
generate. It contains
and thus the entire target orbit. Target cyclicity forces
.
The same argument gives
.
These are the conclusions of
reduces_cyclicSubspace_of_trace and
denseRange_source_orbit_of_trace_of_cyclic.
For
,
equality of source vector states gives the Gram identity
The pointed cyclic transport theorem applies to the two now-dense
source orbits. The orbit isometry extends onto
and yields a unitary
such that
and
for every
.
Set
.
Since the source-cyclic spaces are the whole spaces, reconstruction
gives, in each representation,
strongly, as well as the corresponding adjoint limits. For
,
source intertwining at every finite sum reads
Continuity of
and the two displayed limits yield
.
This is the limit passage in the linked proof of the stated theorem.
Conjugation gives two continuous star homomorphisms
and
on the same concrete
.
They agree on
and every
,
hence on the algebraic star algebra generated by them and then its norm
closure. The exact supplier
