An intermediate lemma of the split of OpenAI's proof of OAI.Kadison.uniform_commutator, carved from OpenAI's openai/math development for this platform. The statement and its proof are OpenAI's (OpenAI, Kadison's similarity theorem through uniform derivation estimates (result family 288), OpenAI Math Release, September 23, 2026, result family 288, github.com/openai/math, Apache License 2.0), ported to Lean 4.33.1 and Mathlib 0df444a.

The statement, as published (namespace OAI.Kadison, with open scoped InnerProductSpace BigOperators):

lemma commutator_column_bound (P : VonNeumannAlgebra K) (Y : K →L[ℂ] K)
    (h : ℕ) (a : Fin h → P) (ha : CyclicColumns.columnNorm a≤1) :
    ‖operatorColumn h (fun i => Y*(a i : K →L[ℂ] K)-(a i : K →L[ℂ] K)*Y)‖ ≤
      4*commutatorSeminorm P Y

Definitions. The statement is written with OAI.Kadison.VonNeumannCStar.starOrderedRing (definitions bundle OAIQ039C003 of this split); OAI.Kadison.CyclicColumns.columnNorm (definitions bundle OAIQ039C004 of this split); OAI.Kadison.operatorColumn (definitions bundle OAIQ039C019 of this split); OAI.Kadison.VonNeumannCStar.cstarAlgebra (definitions bundle OAIQ039C022 of this split); OAI.Kadison.commutatorSeminorm (the published bundle Def_UniformCommutator).

Used by. The proof of OAI.Kadison.isometry_column_error_bound of this split imports it.
