OS2 — Euclidean Invariance #
Proves Z[Ef] = Z[f] for any Euclidean transformation E ∈ E(4). The argument:
- Change variables x → E⁻¹x, y → E⁻¹y in the covariance integral
- C(x,y) depends only on |x−y|, so C(E⁻¹x, E⁻¹y) = C(x,y)
- Lebesgue measure is invariant: d⁴(E⁻¹x) = d⁴x (since |det R| = 1)
Hence S(Ef) = ∫∫ f*(x) C(x,y) f(y) dx dy = S(f).
Main results #
Euclidean action on test functions #
The Euclidean action satisfies (g • f)(x) = f(g⁻¹ • x).
The Euclidean pullback satisfies euclideanPullback g x = g⁻¹ • x = act g⁻¹ x.
Composing pullbacks: euclideanPullback g (act g y) = y.
The forward composition: act g (euclideanPullback g x) = x.
Change of variables for the bilinear form #
Measure-preserving property of actEquiv.
Main theorem: Bilinear form invariance #
The complex bilinear covariance form is invariant under Euclidean transformations. This is the key lemma showing ⟨g•f, C(g•h)⟩ = ⟨f, Ch⟩.
What needs to be proven: Starting from:
freeCovariance_euclidean_invariant: C(g•x, g•y) = C(x, y) (proven in Covariance.lean)measurePreserving_act: act g preserves Lebesgue measure (proven in Euclidean.lean)
We need to show: ∫∫ f(g⁻¹•x) C(x,y) h(g⁻¹•y) dx dy = ∫∫ f(u) C(u,v) h(v) du dv
Proof sketch:
- Rewrite C(x,y) = C(g•(g⁻¹•x), g•(g⁻¹•y)) using act_euclidean_pullback
- Apply freeCovariance_euclidean_invariant to get C(g⁻¹•x, g⁻¹•y)
- Now the integrand is F(g⁻¹•x, g⁻¹•y) where F(u,v) = f(u) C(u,v) h(v)
- Change variables u = g⁻¹•x, v = g⁻¹•y (measure-preserving on product space)
- Use MeasurePreserving.prod to get measure preservation on SpaceTime × SpaceTime
Technical gap:
The Mathlib lemma MeasurePreserving.integral_comp' requires the integrand
to have the form G(e x) for a MeasurableEquiv e. Our integrand after step 2
has the form f(g⁻¹•x) * C(g⁻¹•x, g⁻¹•y) * h(g⁻¹•y) which matches this pattern
for the product integral ∫ F(e p.1, e p.2) d(p) where e = actEquiv g⁻¹.
Need to carefully apply integral_prod and MeasurePreserving.prod to complete.
The free GFF measure satisfies the complex covariance Euclidean invariance property.
This removes the h_euc hypothesis from the master theorem.
