# Torus Interacting P(φ)₂: Construction and OS Axioms ## Overview We construct the interacting P(φ)₂ Euclidean quantum field theory on the two-dimensional torus T²_L = (ℝ/Lℤ)² and prove the Osterwalder-Schrader axioms OS0–OS2 for the continuum limit measure. The construction follows the Glimm-Jaffe/Nelson lattice approach: 1. Define the interacting measure at each lattice cutoff N 2. Prove tightness (uniform moment bounds) 3. Extract a weakly convergent subsequence (Prokhorov) 4. Verify the limit satisfies the OS axioms All results are formalized in Lean 4 in `Pphi2/TorusContinuumLimit/TorusInteractingOS.lean`. ## The Interacting Measure ### Lattice Cutoff At cutoff N, the lattice spacing is a = L/N. The interacting measure on configurations of the lattice (ℤ/Nℤ)² is: μ_{P,N} = (1/Z_N) exp(-V_N) dμ_{GFF,N} where: - μ_{GFF,N} is the lattice Gaussian free field (centered Gaussian with covariance (-Δ_lattice + m²)⁻¹) - V_N = a² Σ_x :P(φ(x)):_c is the Wick-ordered interaction - Z_N = ∫ exp(-V_N) dμ_{GFF,N} is the partition function - :P:_c denotes Wick ordering with respect to the lattice Wick constant c ### Torus Embedding The lattice measure is embedded into the torus configuration space via `torusEmbedLift`: each lattice field φ : (ℤ/Nℤ)² → ℝ maps to a distribution ω on smooth torus test functions by: ω(f) = Σ_x φ(x) · evalTorusAtSite(x)(f) where `evalTorusAtSite` samples the test function at lattice points. ### Continuum Limit The sequence of torus-embedded interacting measures {μ_{P,N}} is tight (by the Mitoma-Chebyshev criterion + Nelson's exponential estimate). By Prokhorov's theorem, a subsequence converges weakly to a probability measure μ_P on the torus configuration space. ## Nelson's Exponential Estimate The key analytical input: the L² norm of the Boltzmann weight is bounded uniformly in N: ∫ exp(-2V_N) dμ_{GFF} ≤ K for all N This is proved using the physical volume argument: a²N² = L² (fixed), so V_N ≥ -L²A gives exp(-2V_N) ≤ exp(2L²A) uniformly. Nelson's estimate enables: - Uniform second moment bounds (via Cauchy-Schwarz density transfer) - Tightness of the interacting measures - Exponential moment bounds for the limit measure ## OS Axioms ### OS0: Analyticity **Statement:** The generating functional Z_ℂ[z] = ∫ exp(i Σ zᵢ ω(Jᵢ)) dμ_P is entire analytic in z ∈ ℂⁿ for any test functions J₁,...,Jₙ. **Proof:** Apply `analyticOnNhd_integral` (Morera's theorem for parametric integrals): 1. Pointwise analyticity: z ↦ exp(i Σ zᵢ ω(Jᵢ)) is entire for each ω (composition of exp with a linear function, using Re(z)+I·Im(z)=z) 2. Measurability: from `configuration_eval_measurable` 3. Domination on compact sets: ‖exp(i Σ zᵢ ωᵢ)‖ ≤ exp(C_K Σ|ωᵢ|) ≤ Σ exp(n·C_K·|ωᵢ|), integrable by the exponential moment bound ### OS1: Regularity **Statement:** ‖Z_ℂ[f_re, f_im]‖ ≤ exp(c·(q(f_re) + q(f_im))) for a continuous seminorm q and constant c > 0. **Proof:** By the triangle inequality + |exp(ix)-exp(iy)| trick: ‖Z_ℂ‖ ≤ ∫ exp(|ω(f_im)|) dμ_P ≤ K · exp(G(f_im, f_im)) The exponential moment bound gives K · exp(G(f,f)), and we absorb K into the seminorm: q(f) = G(f,f) + |log K|, c = 1. The exponential moment bound itself is proved via: - Cutoff: E_P[exp(|ωf|)] ≤ √(2K) · exp(G_N(f,f)) (density transfer + Nelson + Gaussian MGF) - Transfer to limit: MCT truncation argument (min(exp, M) is bounded continuous → weak convergence applies, then M → ∞) ### OS2: Translation Invariance **Statement:** Z[f] = Z[T_v f] for all v ∈ ℝ² and test functions f. **Proof:** The lattice measure is only translation-invariant for lattice translations (multiples of L/N). For general v, we use an approximation: 1. For each n, approximate v by the nearest lattice vector w_n 2. Z_N[T_{w_n} f] = Z_N[f] (lattice translation invariance) 3. ‖Z_N[T_v f] - Z_N[T_{w_n} f]‖ → 0 as the lattice refines Step 3 uses the chain: ‖Z[g] - Z[h]‖ ≤ √(E_P[(ω(g-h))²]) ≤ √(C · G_N(g-h, g-h)) ≤ √C · p(g-h) where the interacting-to-Gaussian bridge (E_P ≤ C · E_GFF, from Cauchy-Schwarz + Nelson) converts the interacting problem to a Gaussian one, and translation continuity gives p(T_v f - T_{w_n} f) → 0. **Why the second moment suffices:** |exp(ix) - exp(iy)| ≤ |x - y| reduces the generating functional's continuity to the first moment, which by Cauchy-Schwarz is ≤ √(second moment). So we only need 2-point control, not higher moments. **Higher-point functions** inherit translation invariance automatically: once Z is translation-invariant, it determines the measure μ_P, and all Schwinger functions S_n(f₁,...,f_n) = ∫ ω(f₁)···ω(f_n) dμ_P are invariant. ### OS2: D4 Point Group Invariance **Statement:** Z[f] = Z[σf] for swap σ(t,x) = (x,t) and time reflection Θ(t,x) = (-t,x). **Proof:** These are discrete lattice symmetries — the cutoff measure IS exactly invariant (not just approximately): 1. `evalTorusAtSite` equivariance: evaluation at site x of σf equals evaluation at σ(x) of f (proved via `evalCLM_comp_swapCLM` / `evalCLM_comp_mapCLM` for the nuclear tensor product) 2. Lattice measure invariance: the interacting measure is invariant under any site bijection σ that preserves the Laplacian eigenvalues (proved via BW relabeling + density invariance + volume preservation) 3. Transfer to limit via weak convergence + `tendsto_nhds_unique` The Laplacian commutativity (massOperator commutes with swap/reflection) is proved by unrolling the stencil sum with `Fin.sum_univ_two` and using `add_comm` on the direction exchange. ## Key Infrastructure ### Gaussian-field library (upstream) - `evalCLM_comp_swapCLM`: evalCLM commutes with NTP swap - `evalCLM_comp_mapCLM`: evalCLM commutes with NTP mapCLM - `basisVec_eq_pure`: NTP basis vectors = pure tensors (biorthogonality) - `evalTorusAtSite_swap/latticeTranslation`: torus evaluation equivariance - `pairing_is_gaussian`: ω(f) under GFF is Gaussian with known variance - `measure_isGaussian`: our Gaussian measure satisfies Mathlib's IsGaussian ### Mathlib - `mgf_id_gaussianReal`: Gaussian MGF E[exp(tX)] = exp(σ²t²/2) - `analyticOnNhd_integral`: Morera for parametric integrals (axiomatized) - Portmanteau theorem, MCT, Cauchy-Schwarz for integrals ### Key proof techniques - **Density transfer:** E_P[F] ≤ √K · √(E_GFF[F²]) converts interacting to Gaussian - **MCT truncation:** min(exp, M) is bounded continuous → weak convergence applies, then M → ∞ gives the full bound - **Lattice approximation:** nearest lattice vector converges to any v as spacing → 0, with error controlled by the Green's function seminorm ## Axiom Status The file `TorusInteractingOS.lean` has: - **1 axiom:** `torusTranslation_continuous_in_v` (v ↦ T_v f continuous in DM topology) - **0 sorry** The single remaining axiom is a standard property of smooth functions on the torus: translation varies continuously in the shift parameter. Its proof requires dominated convergence for Fourier series (phase shifts converge pointwise, dominated by the rapidly decaying coefficients). ## References - Glimm-Jaffe, *Quantum Physics*, Chapters 6, 8, 19 - Simon, *The P(φ)₂ Euclidean QFT*, Chapters I, V - Nelson (1966), "A quartic interaction in two dimensions" - Osterwalder-Schrader (1973, 1975)
