Throughout, MMM is a unital C*-algebra with a partial order making it star-ordered, XXX is a complex Banach space, and e:X∗→Me:X^*\to Me:X∗→M is an isometric conjugate-linear isomorphism, so MMM is a von Neumann algebra with predual XXX (the Lean hypothesis e). Let σ\sigmaσ be the normal GNS representation on N=N=N= NormalGNS e, let π:M→B(K)\pi:M\to B(K)π:M→B(K) be a unital *-homomorphism on a Hilbert space, and let L,W:N→KL,W:N\to KL,W:N→K be bounded with σ(T(a))=L∗π(a)W\sigma(T(a))=L^*\pi(a)Wσ(T(a))=L∗π(a)W for a bounded linear T:M→MT:M\to MT:M→M. Suppose ∥Wσ(f)∥=∥π(f)Wσ(f)∥\|W\sigma(f)\|=\|\pi(f)W\sigma(f)\|∥Wσ(f)∥=∥π(f)Wσ(f)∥ for every projection f∈Mf\in Mf∈M. Then for all a∈Ma\in Ma∈M and every projection p∈Mp\in Mp∈M,

T(a)p−T(ap)p=0.T(a)p-T(ap)p=0.T(a)p−T(ap)p=0.

Formalization Note The statement is verbatim from OpenAI's Lean development, with the listed Definitions imported in place of the upstream modules; the definitions are supporting code for this statement. Only the keyword lemma, where used upstream, becomes theorem, and a leading include ... in or omit ... in moves to the preamble. It is a step of the Lean proof of the vanishing of higher bounded Hochschild cohomology.

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.
