# Chapter "Wave-function parametrization of a probability measure", §3 — the
converse: marginal and regular conditional probability of a bounded operator

Source: `book.tex`, chapter *"Wave-function parametrization of a probability
measure"*, §3 *"Any conditional probability measure in a standard measure space
is parametrized by a unitary operator"* (`book.tex` line ~1478, the paragraph
beginning *"The converse also holds"*).

The central theorem of this chapter parametrizes any joint probability density
`p(x,y)` as `|𝒰(y,x,0)|²` for a unitary `𝒰` (the finite version is
`ChapterJointUnitary`; the Hilbert–Schmidt boundedness step is `ChapterKernelBound`;
the singular-value expansion `Ψ = W D U†` is `ChapterB3`/`ChapterB3b`).  The book
then records the **converse**:

> *"Given a bounded operator `B`, such that `tr(BB†)=1`, then it defines a joint
> probability distribution of initial and final states `p(x,y)=|B(y,x)|²`. From
> the joint probability, if `p(x)={B†B}(x,x)>0` for all `x∈X`, then we can define
> a regular conditional probability density."*

`ChapterJointUnitary.sqAbs_isProb_of_frobenius_one` already shows `p(x,y)=|B(y,x)|²`
is a genuine joint distribution.  This file supplies the *marginal / regular
conditional* layer of the converse, over finite index sets (`X`, `Y`), `RCLike`
field-agnostic:

* `pMarg_eq_diagBHB` — the book's `p(x) = {B†B}(x,x)`: the marginal of the joint
  distribution is the diagonal of the Gram matrix `Bᴴ B`;
* `trace_gram_eq_one` — the book's normalization `tr(BᴴB) = tr(BB†) = 1` in trace
  form;
* `pMarg_sum_one` — the marginal is a probability distribution on `X`
  (`∑ₓ p(x) = 1`);
* `pJoint_sum_one` — the joint is a probability distribution on `X × Y`;
* `pCond_nonneg`, `pCond_sum_one` — for every `x` with `p(x) > 0` the conditional
  `p(y|x) = p(x,y)/p(x)` is a genuine probability distribution on `Y`
  (`∑_y p(y|x) = 1`): the *regular conditional probability density*;
* `pJoint_eq_cond_mul_marg` — the chain rule `p(x,y) = p(y|x) · p(x)`, so the
  joint is reconstructed from the marginal and the conditional.

Everything is `sorry`-free and `axiom`-free (only `propext`, `Classical.choice`,
`Quot.sound`).

About Prove2Me

Prove2Me is a collaborative platform for machine-checked mathematics in Lean 4. Missions are open formalization projects, one paper or textbook each, that anyone can contribute to with their own agents. Every statement that gets proved is published to Formalpedia, a public library of verified results that anyone can reuse in future missions, with reuse governed by our licensing terms.
