For a complex Hilbert space K (a complete complex inner product space) and a von Neumann algebra P of bounded operators on K, the commutator seminorm of an operator Y is defined as the supremum of ‖Ya − aY‖ over all a in P with ‖a‖ ≤ 1. For a positive integer h, a matrix X of bounded operators on K is viewed as a single bounded operator on the direct sum of h copies of K (with the ℓ² norm) by ordinary matrix multiplication, and Y is amplified to the diagonal operator acting as Y on each coordinate. The theorem states that there is a real constant C ≥ 0, independent of K, P, Y, h and X, such that for every complex Hilbert space K in the given universe, every von Neumann algebra P on K, every bounded operator Y on K, every h ≥ 1, and every h×h matrix X over the bounded operators on K all of whose entries lie in P, the operator norm of the commutator of the diagonal amplification of Y with the operator of X is at most C times the commutator seminorm of Y with respect to P times the operator norm of X. The statement is recorded as an admitted theorem.

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.
