Moreover let {/„} be a sequence of analytic functions on a fixed neighborhood U of Sp(a)g(d) and suppose that {/„} converges uniformly to an f0 on every compact subset of (7; then f0 is analytic on U and \\fn(a) —fo(a)\\3^>0. 3.3.4 Proposition Let 5 be a closed derivation in A and suppose that A has an identity 1. Then Q)(S) contains 1 automatically. Proof If \$2(8\ then define (5(1) = 0 and extend 5 to a derivation 8. First of all, we shall show that 8 is closed. In fact, let xn = yn + Xn\ ->0 (yne@)(d)) and <5(yn) = d{yn)-+z. If |An.| -^ oo, then ^

hence ynj/^nj-^ — 1 and 8(ynj/A>nj)->0. Therefore — le@(8) and so le@(S)9 a contradiction. Next suppose that kn. -• A( / 0); then

Take an open set U such that 0<£U and Sp(a)g(d) a U. (This is possible, because the boundary of Sp(a)md) a the boundary of Sp(a)A) Consider an analytic function / on O u t / such that /(0) = 0, f(X) = 1 on U; then by Runge's approximation theorem [77], there is a sequence of polynomials such that pn(0) = 0 and pn(X)-+f(X) uniformly on every compact subset of U; hence \\f(a) - pn(a) \\d = || 1 - pn(a) ]| j->0.

Therefore, in Theorem 3.3.7, one cannot replace C(2) by C(1) in a non-commutative C*-algebra though it is possible for a commutative C*-algebra (cf. Proposition 3.2.3). There have been some developments in the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint operators in a Hilbert space (cf. [49], [100]). Let T be a bounded operator on a Hilbert space Jf. Suppose that ||exp(kT)|| = 0 (\t\k) as 111 -* oo, where k is a non-negative number. Then it is known that Sp(T) a U. Let/be a function belonging to Ll{ - oo, oo) such that J ^ \t\k\f{t)\dt < + oo, where/is the Fourier transform of/. Then one can define

In particular if ||exp(itT)|| = O(\t\) as |r|->oo and if/eC (2)([R), then/(T) is definable. If ||exp(itT)|| =0(1), then T is similar to a self-adjoint bounded operator by Nagy's theorem [131]; hence/(T) is definable for feC(U). It has been an open question if ||exp(kT)|| = 0{\t\) as \t\ -> oo implies/(T) is definable for/eC ( 1 ) (R) (cf. [49], [100]). By Mclntosh's example, one has a. negative solution to this problem. On the other hand, if S is a closed derivation in a commutative C*-algebra A and if a( = a*)e@(8), then a

Theorem 3.3.7. Then Mclntosh [127] constructed an example of closed *-derivation 8 in a C*-algebra in which there is an element a( = a*) of @(8) and a continuously differentiable function / on [— ||fl~||, ||fl + ||] with f(a)$2$(8). Mclntosh's example also gives a negative solution to a longstanding problem in the spectral theory of non-self-adjoint bounded operators in a Hilbert space. This is one of the useful applications of the derivation theory to other branches. References [39], [143], [166], [170].
3.4 Generators In quantum physics, one of the most important problems is how to construct a time evolution from a given *-derivation. If one can show that 8 is a pre-generator, then the problem is solved. There is a nice theory by Hille-Yoshida [78] and a powerful method of Nelson [134] for the problem. However for interacting continuous quantum systems, these methods cannot apply in most cases. The reader will discover this situation in Chapter 4. Therefore the generation problem is rather incomplete in interacting continuous quantum systems. On the other hand, general theories of generators are often useful for quantum lattice systems, although there are many important cases in which the so-called 'core problem' is left open as a very difficult problem. In this section, we shall develop a general theory for generators. Let 8 be a closable *-derivation in a C*-algebra A. 8 is said to be a pregenerator if its closure 8 is the (infinitesimal) generator of a strongly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on A. An important problem is the conditions under which 8 is a pre-generator. It follows from semi-group theory [78, 188] that 8 is a pre-generator if and only if || a + k6{a) || ^ || a \\ (ae@{6)) and the ranges (U + 8)2(6) are dense in A for all real A(A # 0). 3.4.1 Proposition Let 8 be a pre-generator in A; then it is well-behaved. Proof Let J b e the closure of 8 and a, = exp(t8); then {ar|£elR} is a strongly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on A. Suppose that

Then 3 is a pregenerator if and only if 3 and 3* are well-behaved. Proof Suppose that 3 is a pre-generator and let at = exp tS. Then ||[1 + Ad]'11| < 1 for real A. By the general theory of linear operators on Banach spaces [98], {(1 + A($)"1}* - ( 1 + kS*)~l and || {(1 + /US)"1}* || < 1Hence ||(1 + A(5*)/|| ^ | | / | | ioife3(S*\ Let v be a real linear subspace of the self-adjoint portion of A* generated b y / a n d (5*/; then there is a linear functional F on v such that ||F|| = 1, F(f)= \\f\\ and F(S*(f)) = 0. By the Hahn-Banach theorem, there is a self-adjoint linear functional F on A* such that ||F|| = 1, F ( / ) = | | / | | and F(S*(f)) = 0. Hence <5* is well-behaved. Conversely suppose that 3* and 3 are well-behaved. Then || (1 + X3)(a) || ^ || a \\ for as3(3) and real I (see (3.2.19).

Since (5* is well-behaved, there is an element xf in A** with xf* = xf, || xf\\ = l and |/(x/)| = || / 1 | and 5*f(xf) = 0. Hence II / + (S*/X)f \\>\(f + {S*/l)f)(xf)\ = || / 1 | = 0, a contradiction. • 3.4.4 Proposition Let 3 be a *-derivation in srf. Then 3 is a pre-generator if and only if 3 is well-behaved and (1 + 3)^(3) are dense in A. Proof By 3.2.19,thewell-behavednessof3implies ||(1 + X3)(a)\\^\\a|| (ae@(S), XeU). Since (1 ± 3)3(3) are dense, there exist (1 ± S)'1 and ||(1 ± 3)'1 \\ ^ 1. In particular (1 ± 3)3(3) = A. Now suppose that (Xol - 3)3(3) = A for some real k0 # 0 and let \k0 - A|/|kQ\ < 1; then we shall show that (M - 3)3(3) = A. For this, it is enough to show that (X\ — 3)3(3) is dense in A, for ||OU -3)(a)\\ ^ \1\ \\a\\ (ae3(3)). Suppose that (U - 3)3(3) is not dense in A; then there is an element x in A such that ||x|| < |A0|/|A0 — k\ and ||x - (Al - 3)(a) || ^ 1 for all ae3(3). Put (Aol - J)(fe) = x; then -(X\ -3)(b)\\ = ||(A0-A)ft|| = |A 0 -AMKAol-ar'xH 141

Therefore we can solve the problem affirmatively. However p(z) will change Sp(a) generally, so that it is also an interesting problem under what conditions one can conclude that Sp(p(z)(a)) = Sp(a). It is easily seen that Sp(a) = Sp(p(z)(a)) (zeC) if {at\teR} is a uniformly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on A. Let aeA(8); then we can define
p(z)(a)= 2, —^zn n=o

If peA(S) is a projection, then p(z)(p) is an idempotent, so that Sp(p(z)(p)) = Sp(p). Generally the spectrum of p(z)(a) will depend on z. In fact, let C0(R) be the C*-algebra of all continuous functions on the real line vanishing at infinity. Let S = d/dt; then exp(r<5)/(x) =f{x + t) (feC0(R)), where x,teR.

Later we shall discuss the problem in the case of UHF algebras. 3.4.11 Notes and remarks Proposition 3.4.7 is due to Bratteli and Robinson [40]. Proposition 3.4.8 is due to the author [166]. If Problem 3.4.10 has a positive solution, it may introduce a new technique into functional analysis. From this point of view, it would be an interesting problem. References [41], [78], [170], [188].
3.5 Unbounded derivations in commutative C*-algebras In the previous chapter, we have seen that any bounded derivation in a commutative C*-algebra is identically zero. On the other hand, there are
80

many important non-trivial closable *-derivations in commutative C*-algebras. Partial differentiations in a differential manifold are typical closable *-derivations. We showed that a totally disconnected space has no non-trivial closable *-derivations (cf. 3.2.1). On the other hand, even a continuous manifold which is not differentiable may have non-trivial closable *-derivations. For example, a connected locally compact group is approximated by a Lie group, so that it has non-trivial closable *-derivations. Therefore the theory of derivations in a commutative C*-algebra can be developed even in a non-differential manifold. This shows the importance of the study of derivations in commutative C*-algebras. For example, the generalized Hilbert's fifth problem asks the following: Let Q be a connected locally euclidean space and let G be a locally compact transformation group effectively acting on Q. Then, can we conclude that G is a Lie group? This famous problem may be treated within the derivation theory in commutative C*-algebras, when G is connected. As yet, we do not have any definite study of the problem along this line. However it will certainly be one of the central interests in the future research program of derivation theory in commutative C*-algebras. In this section, we shall discuss some general properties of unbounded closable *-derivations in commutative C*-algebras. We shall also describe a detailed analysis of derivations in C([0,1]). Recently there has been a significant development in this subject but we shall only discuss parts of it. 3.5.1 Definition Let A be a semi-simple commutative Banach algebra with spectrum space Q. Identify A, via the Gelfand transform, with a subalgebra o/C 0 (Q). A is called a Silov algebra iffor each closed subset FofQ and each xeQ\F, there is anfeA such thatf\F = 0 andf(x) = 1. When we say that A is a Silov subalgebra of C0(Q), we mean that the spectrum space of A = Q and A is Silov. It is known that a Silov algebra A satisfies the following properties ([130]): (1) A contains partitions of unity subordinate to any finite open cover of a compact set K c Q. That is, if {Ut \ i = 1,2,..., n} is an open cover of X, then there exist functions f (i = 1,2,..., n) in A such that/, has compact support contained in Ut and £"= t fix) = 1 for xeK. If A is self-adjoint, then t h e / ; can be chosen to satisfy 0 < / f ^ 1. If X is compact, this implies that \eA. (2) I f / i s a complex-valued function on Q, we say t h a t / i s locally in A at xeQ (resp./is locally in A at oo) if there is a geA such t h a t / = g in a neighborhood of x (resp. in a neighborhood of oo). If U is a subet of

Q, we say / i s locally in A on U, iff is locally in A at each point of U. A consequence of the existence of partitions of unity is that if/is locally in A on a compact subset K, then there is a geA such that g\K =f\K. I f / i s locally in A at each point of Q and at oo, t h e n / e A This result is known as the local theorem for Silov algebras. If/is a complex-valued function defined on an open subset U of Q, the following conditions are equivalent: (i) / i s locally in A on U. (ii) For each compact K^U, there is a geA such that g\K =f\K (iii) Whenever he A has compact support contained in U,fheA. If A is self-adjoint, another equivalent condition is: (iv) If he A, 0 < h ^ 1, and /i has compact support contained in U, then hfeA. If F c Q, one defines ker(F) = { / e / l | / | F = 0}. If J c A is an ideal, one defines hull (J) = (xeQ|/(x) = 0 for a l l / e J } . For a Silov algebra A, hull (ker(F)) = F if and only if F is closed. For closed F, there is a minimal ideal J(F) with hull F, J(F) = {feA\ f = 0 in a neighborhood of F}. The closure of J(F) (denoted J(F)) is the minimal closed ideal with hull F. An ideal whose hull is a singleton is called primary. For xeQ, J(x) ( = J({x})) is called the minimum closed primary ideal at x. Let Q denote one point compactification of Q. It is easily seen that A is a Silov subalgebra of C0(Q) if and only if A © Cl is a Silov subalgebra ofQ. It often happens that a commutative Banach algebra A is given explicitly as a subalgebra of C(K) for some compact Hausdorff space K. Even if A satisfies the condition of Definition 3.5.1, it may not be true that the spectrum space of A = K. However it is well known that if A is self-adjoint, separates points, contains the constants, and contains the inverse of each strictly positive element, then the spectrum space of A = K.
Since any closable *-derivation in C0(Q) can be uniquely extended to a closable *-derivation in C(Qu(oo)), for simplicity we shall discuss closable *-derivations on a compact space K. 3.5.2 Proposition Let S be a derivation in C(K) and suppose that @(S) is a Silov subalgebra of C(K) under some norm |||-|||; then ||a||j

where (l/£(p))b(p)h(p) defines 0 for p$G. Since (l/£(p))b(p)h(p) is continuous on K, the closability of 3 implies (l/£(p))b(p)h(p) = 0 for peG; hence b(p) = 0 for peG. On the other hand, £(p)5(an)(p) = 0 (p$G) implies b(p) = 0 (p$G). Hence b = 0. • In order to study properties of a *-derivation 8 in C(K) it is convenient to convert the definition of well-behaved elements of Q)(5)s into a corresponding notion for points of K. Thus p in K is said to be well-behaved if S(f)(p) = 0 whenever fe®(5)s and \f{p)\ = \\f\\. We shall denote the set of all well-behaved points of K by Kd. 3.5.8 Proposition Let f be a real-valued function in C(K) and let oc1 = sup{|/(p)| \peKd0} and a 2 = sup{|/(p)| \peK\Kd} (where the supremum of the empty set is taken to be — oo).

Proof If Kd° is empty, the statement is trivial, for /? < 0. If K\KS is empty, W(S) = @(d)s - in fact for any ge@(d)s, there is a point p in K such that \g(p)\ = II#11; hence (%)(/?) = 0 and so geW((5). Therefore we may assume that cc1 and a2 are finite. It suffices also to assume that/e^((5) and a 1 ? a 2 > 0. Choose real numbers e7 (1 ^ 7 ' ^ 6) such that 0 < £j< 1, < ax + £ + min(£ — a 2 ,0) — 2/5, £ 4 < £5 < £

Put £' = m i n ( £ a 2 " 1 , l ) - £ 6 . There exists p 0 in Ks° such that | / ( p o ) | > i ( l — e i)- We may suppose t h a t / ( p o ) ^ 0 (otherwise consider—/). There exists an open set 7 in K containing K\Kd°, but which does not have p 0 as a limit point, and which satisfies |/(p)| < a2 + £2 for all p in 7. Then there are functions gx and g2 in C(K) with 0 ^ g}^ 1, g^Po) = ^,Qi=^onV,g2 =\ on X \ X 5 and g2 = 0 on K\V.

By 3.5.8, and 3.5.9, poeKd°, a contradiction. Next suppose that Kd° is dense in K and / is a real function in C(K). Then in the notation of Proposition 3.5.8, oc1 = \\f || ^ a 2 , so that Proposition 3.5.8 shows that for 0 < jS < £ < | | / 1 | , there exists g in @(df such that || g —f \\ < s and W(S) contains the closed ball in @(d)s with center g and radius /?. Hence S is quasi well-behaved. In the proof of W(d)° is dense in ^(Sf-i.Q. Proposition 3.5.8, we show that Kd = K implies that d is well-behaved. Conversely suppose that S is well-behaved.

Then 5(f)(t0) = 0. Proof Adding a constant, we may assume that/(£ o )>0. By 3.5.12, there is an element h in Q)(3) with 0 ^ h ^ 1, h = 1 near t0 and such that 0 ^f(t) (*<>) whenever h(t) > 0.

3.5.14 Lemma Let S be a closed ^-derivation in C(K) and F be a closed subset ofK, and suppose that 8 vanishes near F (i.e. there is an open set U such that FaU and 3(f)(t) = 0 for teU and allfe®(8)). Then any element f in C{F) has an extension in Proof Let fx be any extension of / in C(K% gn be a sequence in converging uniformly t o / \ and h be an element in Q)(d) vanishing in Uc with h = 1 on F.

The set of points t where 3 vanishes (i.e. <5(/)(0 = 0 for all/e^(<5)) will be denoted by Ns, its complement in K by Ud. Now we shall consider the case of K = [0,1]. Let Pd+ denote the set of points t in Us such that any element/in @(3)s with 8(f)(t) > 0 is strictly increasing near t.

• 3.5.23 Definition A real-valued function f eC([0,1]) is said to be a generalized Cantor function (abbreviated GCF) iffis monotone on [0,1], but not strictly monotone on any subinterval o/[0,1]. Every real constant function is a GCF. The familiar Cantor middle third function is a GCF. One can show that every non-constant GCF resembles the usual Cantor function as follows: let / be a non-constant GCF, and let (f) be the usual Cantor function. Then there exist (1) a homeomorphism h of [0,1] onto Range (/); (2) numbers a and f$ with 0 < a < fi < 1, and (3) a function g: [0, l]i—•[(), 1] satisfying (i) 0(f) = O((Kts$a), (ii) g\[<XjP] is a homeomorphism onto [0,1], and (iii) g(t) = 1 (j8 ^ * < 1) such t h a t / = hQ
3.5.24 Proposition Let 5 be a closed "-derivation in C([0,1]) such that S extends d/dt. Then there is a GCF O such that Ker((5) = the C*-subalgebra o/C([0,1]) generated by 0) and 1, and 3>(§) - (^([0,1]) + Ker(<5). Proof Since S is closed, Ker((5) is a C*-subalgebra of C([0,1]), and therefore / of [0,1] there is a compact Hausdorff space X and a continuous mapping <> onto X such that Ker(^) = {/°>| feC(X)}. Suppose that cj> is one-to-one on an open subset U. Then take an open subset V such that F c [ / ; then Ker(<5)| F = C(F); hence dy = 0, a contradiction. Now suppose that s < t and 0(s) = 0(t).

Let inf, eC ||/ n - U \\ = || /„ - Xn\ ||; then <5(/n - A, 1) = /;, -> /1. Hence /i = 0. D Next we shall discuss the extension problem of 2(d/dt). Let 8 be a closed *-derivation in C([0,l]) with ®(5) => C^CO, 1]). Let fo be the identity function on [0,1] such that fo(t) = t and let k = S(f0). By 3.5.5, If 5 is a closed *-derivation with N5 = 0, then A is never zero; A~M is a closed *-derivation with the same domain and kernel as 3, and X~ l8 extends d/dt. Therefore by 3.5.23 and 3.5.24, we can see the structure of 8. Now let /leC([0,1])S be arbitrary. Let ZA = ^({O}) and let Uk = [0, l]\Z A . Let V be an open subset of Ux and let L be the algebra of functions in C([0,1]) which are locally in 9)(3) on V. For teF, choose ee@(S) such that g = 1 near t, supp(e) cz V and 0 ^ e < 1.

The natural domain @(5) is the set of feL such that 3f has a (necessarily unique) continuous extension to [0,1]. S is also a closed *-derivation in C([0,1]) (with a not necessarily dense domain). To express that 3 has been obtained from 3, k and V in this way, we write 3 = 3(3,I, V). Then we have the following theorem. 3.5.26 Theorem ([9]) Let 3± be a closed ^-derivation in C([0,1]) extending k(d/dt). Then, there is a unique closed ^-derivation 3 in C([0,1]) such that (1) (2) (3) (4)
3 extends d/dt; 3(3, X, Ux) extends 3^ 3 is minimum among all closed *-derivations satisfying (1) and (2); 8 l extends X3.
Finally we shall note that there are many closed non-quasi well-behaved *-derivations in C([0,1]), for the study of which we shall refer to papers in [112], [113], [114]. 3.5.27 Notes and remarks In 1977, the author [170] initiated the study of unbounded *-derivations in commutative C*-algebras and raised many problems on them. Those problems have been extensively studied by Batty, Goodman, Kurose, Takenouchi, Watatani and others. Since these studies, Batty, Bratteli, Elliott, Goodman, Jorgensen, Kurose, Robinson, Tomiyama and others have widened the study in various directions and have obtained many interesting results. Now the subject has become one of the main branches in derivation theory. The reader will find these works in [10], [11], [12], [19], [20], [21], [22], [24], [26], [27], [112], [113], [114], [116], [119], [136], [153], [154], [155], [186], [187] etc. Theorems 3.5.10 and 3.5.20 are due to Batty [8], [9]. Propositions 3.5.24 and 3.5.25 are due to Goodman [63]. The first examples of non-quasi wellbehaved closed *-derivations were constructed by Kurose [112].
3.6 Transformation groups and unbounded derivations Let Q be a Hausdorff space and G a topological group each element of which is a homeomorphism of Q onto itself: (1)
f(g:x) = g(x) = x'eQ
for geG, xeQ.
The pair (G, Q) is called a transformation group if for every pair gu g2 of elements and every xeQ. (2)
gi{g2(x)) = {g1g2)(x)
and if x' = g(x) = f(g:x) is continuous simultaneously in xeQ and geG.
3.6 Transformation groups and unbounded derivations

If the identity e in G is the only element in G which leaves all of Q fixed, then G is called effective. Let En (n, a positive integer) denote a euclidean n-space, with real coordinates x 1 ,x 2 ,...,x I I . The term locally euclidean' is used to describe a topological space E of fixed dimension n each point of which has a neighborhood that is homeomorphic to an open subset in En. If a locally euclidean space is connected it is called a manifold. A manifold is said to be a differential manifold and to have a differential structure of class Cr (r ^ 1) if there is a covering family of coordinate neighborhoods given in such a way that where any two of the neighborhoods overlap the coordinate transformation in both directions is given by n functions with continuous partial derivatives of order r. In the same way a manifold is said to be a (real) analytic manifold and to have a (real) analytic structure if there is a covering family of coordinate neighborhoods given in such a way that where any two overlap the coordinate transformation in both directions is given by n functions which are real analytic. The definition of a complex analytic manifold and structure is similar to the above. In transformation group theory, the following question is important. Question If a locally compact group acts effectively on a manifold Q, then is G necessarily a Lie group! If Q is a differential manifold, and for each g, f(g; x) is differentiable, then the answer is yes (cf. [128]). For the general case, it is an open question. The application of the unbounded derivation theory of commutative C*-algebra to this outstanding question in transformation group theory was proposed by the author in lectures given at the Kingston conference in 1980 (cf. [175]). In this section we shall discuss related matters. Now we shall define transformation groups as dynamical systems in commutative C*-algebras. Let Q be a locally compact Hausdorff space and let C0(Q) be the C*-algebra of all complex-valued continuous functions on Q vanishing at infinity. Let Aut(C0(Q)) be the group of all *-automorphisms on C0(Q) and let Hom(Q) be the group of all homeomorphisms of Q onto itself. For peAut(C 0 (Q)), there is a unique homeomorphism £ of Q onto itself such that p{h)(x) = h(£{x)) for xeQ and heC0(Q). Conversely for £eHom(Q), define p(h)(x) = h(£(x)) for xeQ. and /ieC0(Q); then p is a *-automorphism on C0(Q). Put (j)(p) = £ then
hence,
= p2(h)(

the mapping

Aut(C0(Q)) onto Hom(Q) is a group isomorphism. Now let (G, Q) be an effective transformation group on a locally compact space Q. For simplicity, we shall assume that G is a locally compact group satisfying the first countability axiom. Suppose that gn^e (n-+co); then gn(x)^x for xeQ and so h(gn(x))->h(x) for /ieC0(Q) and xeQ. From this one can easily conclude that pgn(h)->h in <7(C0(Q), C0(Q)*), where (j){pgn) = gn and C0(Q)* is the dual Banach space of C0(Q). Therefore the dynamical system {C0(Q), G, a} defined by (xg~l(h) = (j)~1(g) is a cr(C0(Q), C0(Q)*) — continuous dynamical system, so that by the well-known theorem of the representation theory, (C0(Q), G,a} is a (strongly continuous) C*-dynamical system. Conversely let {C0(Q), G,a| be any C*-dynamical system with a locally compact group G. Then the mapping (g,x)-+(j)(oig~1)(x) is simultaneously continuous. Therefore the question stated above is equivalent to the question, when G satisfies the first countability axiom, as follows. Let {C0(Q), G,a} be a faithful C*-dynamical system (i.e. ag = 1 implies g = e) with a connected locally euclidean space Q; then can we conclude that G is a Lie group? Now we shall assume that G is a connected locally compact metric group. Then by the structure theorem of Iwasawa ([128]), G has maximal compact subgroups, and all such subgroups are connected and are mutually conjugate (i.e. only one conjugate class). Now let K denote one of them. Then G contains subgroups Hi9H2,...,Hr all isomorphic to the vector group Vx such that every element geG can be decomposed uniquely and continuously in the form g = h1h2 --hrk, hieHh keK. In particular the space of G is the product of the compact space of K and that H^x H2x ••• x Hr which is homeomorphic to the r-dimensional euclidean space Er. Therefore if K is locally euclidean, then G is a Lie group by the Gleason and Montgomery-Zippin Theorem ([128]). Therefore it is sufficient to study the case of a connected compact group if G is connected. It is known that if a compact metric group acts effectively on a connected locally euclidean space and if all the orbits are locally connected, then G is a Lie group ([128]). On the other hand, if G is a compact connected separable metric abelian group, then there is a one-parameter group T which is dense in G (cf. p. 254, Lemma in [128]). Therefore it becomes increasingly important to study the C*-dynamical system {C0(Q), (R,a}, where Q is a connected locally euclidean space. In the previous section, we showed that for any C*-dynamical system {C[0,1], [R, a}, there is a homeomorphism p of [0,1] such that <5pap-1 extends W for some AeC[0,1], where D denotes differentiation defined on [0,1]. It is easily seen that similar remarks apply to dynamical systems on C0{U), where D is the generator for the flow of translations, and X is a function on IR. In fact, we can, by choosing p appropriately, arrange that pTp'1 is one of the flow Tve described in the following examples, where T is the flow corresponding to a (cf. page 26; [179]).

(xe(a9 b)eCv)9 (xe(a, (xe{-oo9b)eCv)9 (if U = U)9 (X
This fact may suggest the possibility to choose a nicely behaved homeomorphism p on general spaces. Now let {C0(Q), IR,a} be a C*-dynamical system with a connected locally euclidean space Q such that the closure of a(M) in Aut(C0(Q)) with respect to the strong operator topology is compact. Let K = the closure of a(R); then K is a compact group. Let at = exp(td); then S is a well-behaved closed *-derivation in C0(Q). For peQ, let U(p) be a neighborhood of p such that is homeomorphic to an open n-cell and its closure is homeomorphic to the closed n-cell. Then the restriction S\U(p) of d is a quasi-well-behaved *-derivation in C(U(p)). Let dp be the closure of S | U(p); then it is a quasi-well-behaved *-derivation. Let @(dp) be the domain of 5p. 3.6.2 Problem Can we take n self-adjoint elements in @(Sp) such that T = C(h1)®C{h2)®-'.®C(hn\ where C(hj) (j = l,2,...,m) is a C*-subalgebra ofC(U(p)) generated by h} and 1, and ® is the C*-tensor product of {C(hj)\j= 1,2,...,n}"!

Then a mapping hj-+fj can be uniquely extended to a *-automorphism p of C(C/(p)), so that there is a homeomorphism 9 on (7(p) such that p(g)(x) = g(0(x)) for geC(U(p)). Then pdpp~1fj = pdp(hj) (j = 1,2,...,n). Since pbpp~x is a closed *-derivation, By a discussion similar to that in the previous section, we can show that

C*-dynamical systems
4.0 Introduction In this chapter, we shall discuss a unified axiomatic treatment of quantum lattice systems and quasi-free dynamics in Fermion field theory within the framework of C*-dynamical systems. In these systems, time evolution, equilibrium states (KMS states), ground states, stability under bounded perturbations and phase transitions are important physical notions. Here we shall present an abstract treatment of these notions within the theory of C*-dynamical systems. About time evolution, we shall emphasize the approximate innerness property for the corresponding time automorphism group in a given C*-dynamical system. In fact, the approximate innerness assures the existence of a ground state, and the existence of a KMS state at each inverse temperature under the assumption of 'the existence of a tracial state', which is always satisfied in quantum lattice systems and in canonical anticommutation relation algebras. We shall also discuss in detail one of the most important open problems (the Powers-Sakai conjecture) in C*-dynamical systems. In each section we shall explain relations between C*-dynamical systems and physical systems. For simplicity we shall assume that every C*-algebra has an identity (unless otherwise stated).
4.1 Approximately inner C*-dynamics A quantum lattice system consists of a set of particles confined to a lattice and interacting at distance. There are two physical interpretations of these models. One is a lattice gas and the other is a spin system. The lattice gas views each point of the lattice as a possible site for a finite number of AT-particles, i.e. each point of the configuration space can be empty or occupied by 1,2,..., JV-particles. These particles interact with each other, and 101
102

this leads to time evolution in which we envisages the particles jumping from lattice site to lattice site. The spin system assumes that every lattice site is permanently occupied by a particle but the particles have various internal degrees of freedom, i.e. the particles could have an intrinsic spin with several possible orientations. The interaction between particles follows from a coupling of the internal degrees of freedom and it results in an evolution in which the spin orientations are constantly changing. In spite of these two different interpretations, they can be treated mathematically as one object. For many problems, it suffices to assume that the lattice L is a countable set of points. For each point xeL, a finite-dimensional full matrix algebra si x is given as the totality of physical observables associated with the particles at the point x of L. The C*-infinite tensor product si — (X) x e L ^ x then corresponds to the observables of the entire quantum lattice system. Let A be a non-empty finite subset of L and let si A = (X) X6A^ X , i.e. siA represents the physical observables associated with the particles at the points of A. Then (8)yeL\A^» siA is canonically embedded into si such that siA = ^)xeA^x® where ly is the identity of siy. The C*-algebra si defines the kinematics of the quantum lattice system, i.e. the instantaneous observables. An interaction O is defined as a function from non-empty finite subsets X of L into self-adjoint elements 0>(X) of si with Q>(X)es/x. Each O(X) represents the energy of interactions of the set of all particles in the finite subset X. Define H = ^XcL
, 4] = i Z
[*(*), >*].
Therefore if Z X O A ^ ^ P O converges uniformly in si for each finite subset A, then S will define a *-derivation in si with its domain Q)(b\ This is the case for almost all interesting models. An interaction is said to be of finite range if there is no interaction between distant particles. We can make this definition precise only for L = Z", where / is the group of all integers. The interaction O is then defined to have finite range if there exists a finite subset Afc such that 0>(X) = 0 whenever X -X £AO. If C(czs/) is a commutative C*-subalgebra describing a classical lattice system and 0>(X)eCx a siX for all non-empty finite subsets of L, then Q> is

The above considerations of quantum lattice systems can be generalized as follows. Given a C*-algebra si, and a *-derivation 8 in si satisfying the following conditions: (1) There is an increasing sequence {sin} of full matrix algebras such that lesi1 <^si2^ ••• cu^ n cz ••• and si is the uniform closure of [J™=1sin. (2) The domain 2(8) of 8 is U "= i^»Namely, si is a UHF algebra and ^ is a normal *-derivation in si (cf. §4.5). If (5(^((5)) c ^((5), then (5 is said to be of yimte range. We can define commutative normal *-derivations as a generalization of classical lattice systems (cf. §4.6) and we shall discuss them in later sections. In almost all interesting cases of quantum lattice systems, the closure 3 of 8 is an infinitesimal generator. In fact, in a quantum lattice system with L = Z", the interaction function Q> is said to be translation-invariant if 0>(X + z) = 0>(X) for each finite subset X c Zn and each zeZ". If a quantum lattice system has a translation-invariant, finite range interaction, then A(8) = <3(8) and so 8 is a pre-generator (cf. [42]). In particular, Examples (4) and (5) in §3.1 are pre-generators, even in quantum lattice systems with infinite range interaction, and there are many important models in which *-derivations <5 are pre-generators (cf. [42]). If the *-derivation 8 associated with a quantum lattice system is a pre-generator, then {exp(t8)\teM} is the time evolution corresponding to the system. Then one can conclude that the time automorphism group {exp(f<5)|felR} is approximately inner (cf. §4.6). In addition in the quasi-free dynamics of Fermion field theory, one can easily see that the time automorphism group is approximately inner. Therefore it is important to study approximately inner C*-dynamics. Let A be a C*-algebra and t-*0Lt be a strongly continuous oneparameter group of *-automorphisms on A. The system {A,oc} is then said to be a C*-dynamics. Let oct = Qxp(t8); then 8 is a well-behaved closed *-derivation. In mathematical physics, it is important to study the strong convergence of the one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms. 4.1.1 Definition Let ant:t\-+ctnt (n = 1,2,...) and t\-+ctt be a family of strongly continuous one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms on a C*-algebra A. a is said to be a strong limit of {an} (denoted by a = strong limwan or a, = strong lim a nt ) if ||an>r(a) —a r (a)||-+0 uniformly on every compact subset ofU for each fixed a e A (By using Baire's category theorem, one can easily

see that \\anft(a) — <xt(a)\\ -•() (simple convergence) for each aeA implies the uniform convergence \\ ocnt(a) — ctt(a) \\ ->0 on every compact subset of U.) 4.1.2 Proposition Let ocnt = cxp(tSn) and oct = exp(t3); then a = strong lima,, if and only if (1 — Sn)~1 ->(1 — S)~1 strongly in B(A), where B(A) is the algebra of all bounded operators on A. Proof By the Kato-Trotter theorem ([98]) in semi-group theory, (1—^)~ 1 -^ (1 — S)'1 (strongly) is equivalent to ||<xnt(a) — at(a)|| -•O (rc->oo) for t^O. For t<0, || a B » - ar(a) || = K > _ , - a B / _ , } a r ( a ) | | = ||(a_,-*„,_,) (ar(a)) || —> 0 (n —> oo). Hence a = strong lim ocn. • Now suppose that {<xn\n= 1,2,...} is a sequence of uniformly continuous one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms on a C*-algebra A and a = strong limna n. Let otnt = exp(tdn); then Sn is a bounded *-derivation on A. Let {n, J f } be any ^representation of A on a Hilbert space Jf; then by Theorem 2.5.4, there is a sequence (hn) of self-adjoints in the weak closure of U(A) such that U(Sn(a)) = i|X, n(a)] (aeA). Hence
n ( a n » ) = Qxp(tihn)U(a)Qxp(-tihn)
(aeA).
In this sense, we shall define the following: 4.1.3 Definition A C*-dynamics {A, a} is said to be weakly approximately inner if there exists a sequence {an} of uniformly continuous one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms on A such that a = strong lim ocn - i.e. there is a sequence of bounded ^-derivations {Sn} on A such that (1 — (5J" 1 ->(1 — (5)"1 (strongly), where oct = Qxp(td). A C*-dynamics appearing in mathematical physics usually satisfies a stronger property than the weak approximate innerness: 4.1.4 Definition A C*-dynamics {A, a} is said to be approximately inner, if there is a sequence {ccn} of uniformly continuous one-parameter groups of inner *-automorphisms on A such that a = strong lim ccn - i.e. there is a sequence (hn) of self-adjoint elements in A such that (1 — ^ J " 1 ->(1 — (5)"1 strongly, where OLt = Qxp(td) and Sihn(x) = i[^hn, x] (xeA). If A is a simple C*-algebra with identity (often enough for C*-physics), then any bounded derivation is inner (2.5.8), so that a weakly approximately inner dynamics is approximately inner in this case. In mathematical physics, we are often concerned with a C*-algebra A containing an identity and an increasing sequence {An} of C*-subalgebras such that \eAn and the uniform closure of [j^=1An is A. In addition, we are given a *-derivation S in A satisfying the following conditions:

A general normal *-derivation is approximately inner, so that it is well-behaved (cf. 3.2.13, 3.2.14). 4.1.6 Proposition Suppose that a ^-derivation in A is approximately inner - i.e. there is a sequence (hn) of self-adjoint elements in A such that \imndihn(a) = S(a)for each ae@(5). 7/(1 + 5)^(5) is dense in A, then the closure 8 of 8 is a generator and exp(tJ) = strong HmQxp(t8ihn) - in particular, {A, exp(t8)(teR)} is approximately inner. Proof Since 8 is well-behaved, the densities of (1 ±5)2(5) imply that £ is a generator (cf. 3.4.4).

The proof is the same as the proof of Proposition 4.1.6. 4.1.8 Definition Let 3 be a general normal ^-derivation in A such that S(a) = i[/in, a] (aeAn) (n = 1,2,...). 8 is said to have bounded surface energy if there is a sequence {kn} of self-adjoint elements in A such that kneAn and \\kH-hH\\=O(l){n=l,29...)

In particular,

D 4.1.12 Notes and remarks Proposition 4.1.9 is due to Kishimoto [103]. Proposition 4.1.11, due to Sakai [167], is applicable to classical lattice systems. The fact that exp(t^1)(a) = exp(tdihn)(a) for aeBn in Proposition 4.L11 was first realized by the author. Previously, mathematical physicists have always used Qxp(tS) = strong \imnQxpt(Sihn) only. The exactness of the expression may be useful for the study of classical lattice systems. The notion of approximate innerness was introduced by Powers and Sakai [145].
4.2 Ground states A ground state is a zero-temperature state. Physically it corresponds to the positive energy state associated with a given dynamical group. In this section, we shall introduce it into a C*-dynamics, and show its abstract characterization. We shall also demonstrate the various properties of a ground state. One of the main results in this section is that an approximately inner C*-dynamics always has a ground state (Theorem 4.2.5). 4.2.1 Definition Let {A,cc} be a C*-dynamics, and let S be the generator of a. A state <\> on A is said to be a ground state for {A, a} if —i4>(a*5(a))^O for ae2(S). Let {A, Qxp(tdih) (teU)} be a C*-dynamics such that h is a self-adjoint element in A; then there is a real number k such that h — AI ^ 0 and h is not invertible. Take a state > on A such that (j)(h — k\) = 0; then <j> is a ground state for {A,exp(f<5ifc) (*eR)}. In fact, let k = h - Al; then Sih = 8ik. For aeA,

Therefore if A is commutative, then 7fy(af(a)) = 7c^(a) (aeA). Moreover let ^ = {a\4>(a*a) = 0, aeX}; then J^ is a closed two-sided ideal of A, <xt(I$) a I^ and af is the identity on A/J^. Therefore a C*-dynamics {A, a} with a commutative A does not have a ground state unless A has a closed two-sided ideal«/ such that af(«/) c , / and a, is the identity on AjJ. For example, let A — C(T) (T is a one-dimensional torus group) and S = d/dt; then {A, oct = exp(td)(teU)} has no ground state. On the other hand, it is not trivial to construct a C*-dynamics {A, a} with a simple C*-algebra A which does not have a ground state. This is understandable, because all the C*-dynamics {A, a} appearing in quantum physics have ground states. The first such example was constructed by Lance and Niknam ([117]). Nowadays we know that many C*-dynamics {A,a} with a simple (even separable) C*-algebra A which have no ground state exist (cf. pp. 499-501 in [91]). 4.2.6 Definition A ground state for a C*-dynamics {A, a} is said to be a physical ground state if the representation {n^U^Jf^,} constructed via <j> satisfies the following condition: K^ = {^EJjf^H^ = 0} is one-dimensional, where U^t) The vacuum state in the field theory is a physical ground state. It is the state of zero energy and momentum in quantum field theory. A physical ground state must be a pure state, for n

If a dynamics {A, a} is a-abelian, then the above three conditions are equivalent (cf. [165]). Hence we have: 4.2.7 Proposition Suppose that a C*-dynamics {A, a} is a-abelian; then any pure ground state (i.e., any extreme point in <78(a)) for {A, a} is a physical ground state. A dynamics {A, a} is said to be asymptotically abelian if there is a sequence of real numbers (tn) such that lim,, [a,n(a), b~] = 0 (a, be A). There are many important examples in quantum physics which are asymptotically abelian (for example, consider the anticommutation relation algebra s/(L2(U)), let H = i(d/dt) in L2(U); then the dynamics {stf(L2(U)\ exp(tSiH} is asymptotically abelian, where SiH is the quasi-free derivation in J / ( L 2 ( R ) ) defined by//). On the other hand, there are also many important dynamics in quantum physics, which are not asymptotically abelian (for example, Ising models). It is known that if a dynamics {A, a} is asymptotically abelian, then it is a-abelian (cf. [118]); hence we have: 4.2.8 Proposition Suppose that a C*-dynamics {A, a} is asymptotically abelian; then any pure ground state for {A, a} is a physical ground state. If a dynamics {A, a} is a-abelian, then
4.2 Ground states

If a C*-dynamics has a unique ground state, then it must be a physical ground state. If a C*-dynamics has two different physical ground states, they are centrally orthogonal. Gross [70] gave a method for proving the existence of physical ground states which is applicable to a wide variety of quantum field theoretic models. 4.2.10 Definition Let {A, a} be a C*-dynamics with at least one ground state. It is said to have a phase transition for ground states if it has at least two ground states. There are non-trivial models in quantum field theory; some have phase transitions for ground states and others do not. 4.2.11 Problem Characterize those C*-dynamics which possess a unique ground state. We have seen that a ground state <j> for a C*-dynamics {A, a} is invariant under a and H^ ^ 0, H^nniA)".

4.3.3 Proposition Let <\>p be a KMS state for {A, a} at ft and let I = {xeA\(j)p(x*x) = 0}; then I is a closed two-sided ideal of A (i.e. <j>p(x*x) = 0 implies (j)p(xx*) = 0). Proof (j)p(x*x) = 0 implies $p(x* ott(x)) = 0 (teU) (Schwartz's inequality). Define Fx<x(z) = Fx*Jz) for (ze-P< Im(z) < 0 or 0 < Im(z) < - p). Since Fx*x(t) is real teU, by Schwartz's reflection theorem, Fx*x is an analytic function on ( - ft < Im(z) < jS or p < Im(z) < - p) and Fx*Jt) = 0 (teU); hence Fx*x(z) = 0 on the strip. • 4.3.4 Proposition A state (j) on A is a KMS state for {A, a} at ft if and only if (\)(aa{p(b)) = (j)(ba) (a,beA2(5)\ where Qxp(t8) = at,A2(d) is the set of all geometric elements with respect to 3 and OL^(a) = YJ^=o(^n(a)ln^)(lP)n' Proof Suppose that 0 is a KMS state for {A, a} at jS. Then Fa,b(t) = >(aa,(fr)) and Fa,b(t + i/]) = (t)(oLt(b)a). Since beA2{d\ xz(b) = ^=o{dn(b)/n\)zn is welldefined on the whole complex plane and analytic on it; hence Fab(z) = (j)(aonz(b))(zeSp°). Hence Fab(ifi) = (j)(ba) = (\)(aa^(b)). Conversely suppose that (j)(ba) = (j)(aoL^(b)) for a,beA2(S). Then 4>{at{b)a) = (j>{aoi^t{b)) = $(aoLt + ip(b)),
for a,(A2((S)) c= A2(S).
Hence
Put Fatb(z) = (t>(aoiz(b)); then Fatb(t) = (j>{aat{b)) and Fatb(t + i/J) = 0(ar(ft)a). For x,yeA, there are sequences (xn\(yn) in A2(S) such that ||xn — x|| —• 0 and 0. Then (t>(xnat(yn)) -> tMy)) (uniformly on R) and

By using Kaplansky's density theorem and the discussions in the proof of 4.3.4, one can easily show that for x,yeJt, there is a bounded continuous function Fxy on the strip Sp which is analytic on Sfi° so that FxJt) = $(xott(y)) and Fx,y(t + i£) = $(dtt(y)x)9 where. <£(x) = (xl^,, 1^) (xe«J).

Analogously Q* => P and so g has the least closed extension Q(= Q**). 4.3.6 Lemma g = P*, and P = Q*. Proof For £G<2(P*), ( P a l ^ ) = (al^,P*£) (ae^T). Since ^ [ ^ l j , by the BT theorem (cf.

Hence (t'al^, b'%) = (al 0 , P*^) (ae^). Let 5' be the restriction of t' to JtX^ and let s' be the least closed extension of s'. Then for every unitary w e J , M*S'W = s' and so w*s'w = s. Hence s'r]Ji'. Moreover (s')*b'*l, = P*<^. Let s' = v'h' be the polar decomposition of s'. Then by the uniqueness of polar decomposition, v'eJi' and h'f]Ji'. Let ft' = J JAde^ be the spectral decomposition of h! and set hn = \n0Xde\. Then and

4.4 Bounded perturbations One of the important problems in mathematical physics is the stability problem. Many important physical properties are stable under a slight change. In this section, we shall show these facts for C*-dynamical systems. As a slight change, we choose bounded perturbations. We shall show that the approximate innerness of a C*-dynamics, the existence of ground states, the existence of KMS states at an inverse temperature P are preserved under bounded perturbations. Concerning KMS states, we establish much stronger conclusions. In particular, we will show that bounded perturbations keep the quasiequivalence of KMS states at P which was proved by Araki (cf. Theorem 4.5.7) and the set of all KMS states at P, obtained by all bounded

perturbations with norm less than a fixed positive number, is o(Ji relatively compact (cf. Theorem 4.5.7). This relative compactness is a powerful tool to prove the absence theorem for phase transition in C*-dynamics with bounded surface energy in a quite general setting (cf. §4.8). Let Sl9 S2 be two *-derivations in a C*-algebra A. Then Sl + S2 is a linear operator in A with ®(bx + 52) = 2{51)n2(52). If @(S1)n@(d2) is dense in A, then 51-\- S2is
again a *-derivation in A.
4.4.1 Proposition Suppose that Sl9 S2 are two well-behaved *-derivations in A such that ^(8^)r\2(d2) is dense in A. Then 5X + S2 is well-behaved. Proof For x( = x*)e^(5 1 n5 2 )» let <j> be a state on A with |<£(x)| = ||x||. By 3.2.16,
4.4.3 Proposition If Sx is a pregenerator and b2 is a bounded *-derivation, then S1-\- S2 is again a pre-generator. This is well-known from semi-group theory. 4.4.4 Proposition Suppose that {A,Qxp(td)(teU)} is a weakly approximately inner dynamics and <50 is a bounded ^-derivation in A; then that dynamics {A,exp(t(d + <50))(telR)} is again weakly approximately inner. Proof By Proposition 4.4.3, S + <50 is a pre-generator. Since <5 H- ^ 0 is closed, it is a generator. Take a positive number X such that || X501| < \. Let {Sn} be a sequence of bounded *-derivations on A such that (1 — (5J" 1 ->(1 — (5)"1 (strongly). Then (1 - A^)" 1 ->(1 - X5)~l (strongly) by the well-known theorem in semi-group theory.

This proposition is easily proved by a slight modification of the proof of Proposition 4.4.4. 4.4.6 Proposition Let {A,Qxp(tS)(teU)} be a C*-dynamics with a ground state and let So be an approximately bounded ^-derivation in A - i.e. there is a sequence of bounded *-derivations on A such that S0(a) = limn(5w(a) (ae^(S0)). Then if {1 + (<50 + 3)}^(S0 + 3) are dense in A, then the C*-dynamics {A,exp(t(30 + 8))} (teR)} has a ground state. Proof Let ^ be a ground state for {A,exp{t8)(teU)} and let {n+9 U^J^^} be the covariant representation of {A,exp(t8)(teM)} constructed via (j). Let U(f)(t) = QxptiH

D Remark 1 Theorem 4.4.7 implies that bounded perturbations will not change the existence or absence of a phase transition in a C*-dynamics (cf. §4.7). Remark 2 Concerning ground states, we do not have definite relations between the original dynamics and a perturbed one in general settings. By Proposition 4.4.6, bounded perturbations will retain the existence of ground states. It would be interesting to know under what conditions, pure ground states can be retained. 4.4.10 Proposition Let {A,exp(td)(teM)} be a C*-dynamics with a KMS state (j)p at P and let 50 be an approximately bounded ^-derivation in A. If {l±(d + 60)}@(d0 + S) are dense in A, then the C*-dynamics {A,exp(t(S + So)) (teR)} has a KMS state ij/p at /?. This is easily proved by using Theorem 4.4.7 and the proof of 4.3.17. In general, the [j/fi is not realized as a vector state on n^A) in Jf7^ - therefore there is no canonical one-to-one correspondence between cj>fi and \j/p. 4.4.11 Proposition Let oct = Qxp(t31)(teU) (resp. yt = cxp(td2)) be two one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms on a C*-algebra A, and let Klfi (resp. K2p) be the set of all KMS states for {A, e x p ^ H f e R ) } (resp. {A,Qxp(tS2)(teU)}) at /?, and let s(Kip) (resp. e{K2tfi)) be the set of all extreme points in Kltfi (resp. K2J). Suppose that there is a sequence {Sn} of bounded ^-derivations with \\5n\\ <M(n = 1,2,...,) such that {l.-(^i + 5 J } " 1 -> (1 — 52)~1 (strongly); then there is a one-to-one mapping p of e(Kltfi) onto s(K2p) such that factorial states <j> and p(<j>) on A are equivalent. In particular if {A.Qxp^S^teU)} has a unique KMS state at ft, then {A,exp(t52)(teM)} also has a unique KMS state at j8. Proof Let (t)es(Kip) and let {n^U^Jtf^} be the covariant representation of {y^exp^!)}. Let Ji be the weak closure of n^(A) in J-f^. Let + + with hJL = hH*)eJ( and \\hn\\^M(n= 1,2,...). Consider ^n(a) =/(i/J, hn)(n^(a))/f(i^ hn)(\ ^) (as A); then i//n is a KMS state for {A,exp(t((31 +(5J) (felR)} at j8. Let \j/ be an accumulation point of {^n} in Ji\\ then by 4.4.7, \j/ is equivalent to <j> and by the proof of 4.3.17, ^ is a KMS state for {A,Qxp(tS2)(teU)} at p. On the other hand, let i/^ be a KMS state for {A,exp(t82(teU)} at ft

which is equivalent to (/>; then i//1 is factorial; hence if \j/1 ^\j/, il/1 and \jj are disjoint, a contradiction. Now put p((j)) = \jj\ then one can easily see that p D is a one-to-one mapping of s(Kip) onto &{K2p). 4.4.12 Proposition Let A be a C*-algebra such that there is an increasing sequence {An} of C*-subalgebras as follows: \eA1 a A2 <= ••• <= An a ••• and U r = i ^ n *s dense in A. Suppose that An has a unique tracial state xn (n = 1,2,...,), so that there is a unique tracial state x on A. Let She a *-derivation in A such that @(d) = {J ™= x An, and assume that there is a sequence {hn} of self-adjoint elements in A and a sequence {kn} of self-adjoint elements in A such that S(a) = \[hn,a~\ (aeAn,n=l929...,) and kneAn, \\hn- fcj| = O(l) (n = 1,2,...,); then the C*-dynamics {A, exp(td)(teM)} has a unique KMS state 00 at each /?( - oo < /? < + oo). Proof By 4.1.9, exp(r<5) == strong limexp(^l7ln ). Put Sn — S + Si(kn - hn)', then 5n(a) = i[/cn, a] (aeAn). Since Xn has a unique tracial state, {^n,Qxp(tdikn)(teR)} has a unique KMS state (/>„ such that 0B(fl) = T(a exp( -

(exp( - /ffcj)
Let 0 be a factorial KMS state for {A,Qxp(t5)(teU)} at j8 (4.3.17) and let {TT^, L/^, J ^ } be the covariant representation of {A, exp(td)(teU)} constructed via (j>. Let Ji be the weak closure of n^A) in Jf (/). Then
Since \\K-hJ =O(1), by 4.4.7 {/(i/U#,,-&»))} is relatively compact in Ji^. By Eberlein's theorem, the o(J4*, ^-compactness is equivalent to the o"(^#^,^#)-sequential compactness, so that there is a subsequence {/(ijS,7t0(fenj - /in.))} of {/(ijM#,,-&„))} which converges to some normal positive linear functional \jj in the a(Ji^ Ji)-topo\ogy. In particular, co(a) = ^(7fy(a))/^(l ^ ) = lim i(a exp( - f$kn.))/i(exp( - 0knj))
(asA).
Clearly, the state a> on A is equivalent to 0. Next, let ^ be another factorial KMS state for {A,Qxp(td)(teR)} at /?. Then by a similar discussion, there is a state cox on A such that a)x(a) = lim x(a exp( — phm.)/x(exp( —

4.4.13 Notes and remarks Propositions 4.4.6 and 4.4.10 are due to Powers and Sakai [145]. Theorem 4.4.7.(3), (5) and (6) are due to Araki [3], and the rest of Theorem 4.4.7 is due to the author. Proposition 4.4.12 was first proved by Araki [5] under the assumption that An ( n = l , 2 , . . . , ) are finitedimensional. For commutative normal *-derivations, it was previously proved by the author [168]. Kishimoto [104] gave a simpler proof of Araki's theorem. Proposition 4.4.12 in the present general form is new. References [3], [5], [104], [168], [169], [170].
4.5 UHF algebras and normal *-derivations At the beginning of §4.1, we showed that the study of quantum lattice systems is included in the study of *-derivations in the following setting. A C*-algebra si is said to be a uniformly hyperfinite C*-algebra (UHF algebra) if there is an increasing sequence {sin} of finite type-I subfactors (i.e. finitedimensional full matrix algebras) such that 1 GS/X a si2 <= • • • <= sin c • • • and the uniform closure of \J?=1sin is si. Let 2(§)=\J™=1sin and let 3 be a *-derivation in si with the domain $){$). The study of such *-derivations includes the study of general quantum lattice systems. Consequently, a C*dynamics {si, a} with a UHF algebra si includes the dynamics of a quantum lattice system. It also includes a quasi-free dynamics in Fermion field theory. In this section, we shall discuss a C*dynamics {si, a} with a UHF algebra si and ""-derivations in si. We shall also discuss two important problems (the Powers-Sakai conjecture and the core problem) in the theory of unbounded derivations in detail. 4.5.1 Theorem Let {A,oc} be a C*-dynamics with a UHF algebra A. Then there is an increasing sequence of finite type I subfactors {An} such that leAn, Ancz An+1, \J™=iAn is dense in A and every element of [J™=1An is analytic with respect to a. To prove the theorem, we shall provide a lemma. 4.5.2 Lemma Suppose that there is a type In-subfactor B (n < + oo) of A whose unit is also the unit of A and let {etj\ij = 1,2,...,n} be a matrix unit of B; then for an arbitrary e>0, there is a type In-subfactor N of A(S) and its matrix unit {fij\ij= 1,2,...,n} such that l k o - / o | | < £ (i,j = 1,2,..., n), where <xt = exp(^).

By a minor change of the above discussions, one can easily prove the following corollary. 4.5.3 Corollary Let S be a closed *-derivation in a UHF algebra A; then there is an increasing sequence {An} of finite type-I subfactors in Q){&) such that leAn, AnaAn+l and [J™=1An is dense in A. Now we shall define a normal *-derivation in UHF algebras more restrictively than in general cases. 4.5.4 Definition Let S be a ^-derivation in a UHF algebra A. d is said to be normal if there is an increasing sequence {An} offinite type I subfactors in A such that leAn, AnczAn+1 and 2>{8) = Un°°=i^From 4.5.1 and 4.5.3, one can see that a normal *-derivation in a UHF algebra will play a key role in the study of unbounded derivations in UHF algebras. Most unbounded derivations in quantum lattice systems and Fermion field theory have normal *-derivations as their cores.

Therefore fex is a self-adjoint element in A. Similarly we have a sequence (hn) of self-adjoint elements in A such that (5(a) = '\[hn,a] (aeAn) (n= 1,2,...,). Moreover if S is a generator and An a A(S\ then hneA(S). 4.5.5 Proposition Let S be a normal *-derivation in a UHF algebra A such that @(d)= {J™=lAn. Then for £ > 0 , there is a normal ^-derivation dE in A such that @(5e)=\J?=1An9 de(^(Se))cz^(dE) ( n = l , 2 , . . . , ) and S-dE is a bounded ^-derivation in A with \\S — Se\\ < s.

Remark This proposition implies that a normal *-derivation can be perturbed to a normal *-derivation with a finite range interaction by a bounded ""-derivation. Since bounded perturbations do not change many physical phenomena (for example, phase transition [(cf. 4.4,4.7)]), one may reduce the study of normal *-derivations to the one of normal *-derivations with finite range interaction in many cases. 4.5.6 Proposition Let S be a normal ^-derivation in a UHF algebra A with d(Q)(d)) a Q)(d). Then there is an increasing sequence An of finite type I subfactors in @(S) and two normal *-derivations c^ and S2 such that ^(<5i) = 2{52\ SMiJ^Am ( n = l , 2 , . . . , ) , S2(A2n+l) cz A2n+1 ( n = l , 2 , . . . , ) and S = SX +52.

4.5.7 Definition Let S be a normal ^-derivation in a UHF algebra A. 3 is said to be commutative if one can choose a mutually commuting family {hn} of self-adjoint elements in A and an increasing sequence {An} of finite type I subfactors in A such that \J™=1An = @(8) and 5(a) = i[hn,a] (aeAn) ("=1,2,...,). Remark The notion of commutative normal *-derivations is a generalization of classical lattice systems. In 4.5.6, (51(^2n) ^ A2n (resp. S2(A2n+1) c A2n + 1); therefore, one can choose a sequence {h2n} (resp. {h2n+ x}) of self-adjoint elements in A such that h2neA2n (resp. h2n+leA2n+1) and d1(a) = i[h2n,d] (aeA2n) (resp. <52(a) = i|7i 2 n + 1 ,a] (aeA2n+1)). Since h2in+1)-h2neA2(n+1)nA'2n (resp. h2{n+1) + 1-h2n+1e ^2(n+i)+i^^2n + i)' ih2n} (resp. {h2n+1}) is a mutually commuting family. Hence Sx (resp. 32) is commutative. Therefore 4.5.5 and 4.5.6 imply that any normal *-derivation can be written as a sum of two commutative normal *-derivations after bounded perturbation. On the other hand, bounded perturbations will not change many important physical phenomena. For example, a phase transition will not be changed by bounded perturbation (cf. 4.4, 4.7). Moreover one can analyse the commutative normal derivations than more easily the general normal derivations (cf. 4.6). Therefore, 4.5.6 may be useful for the study of normal derivations. A more powerful tool would be supplied if a normal ""-derivation becomes a commutative normal *-derivation after bounded perturbation. Therefore an answer to the following problems would be interesting. 4.5.8 Problem Let S be a normal ^-derivation in a UHF algebra A. Then can one choose normal *-derivations S1 and S2 in A such that Q){b) = @(&i) = @(82), and 6 = (5X + <52, with S1 commutative and 52 bounded! In the following, we shall show that all C*-dynamics appearing in quantum lattice systems and Fermion field theory are approximately inner. Let S be
162
Operator algebras in dynamical systems
a normal *-derivation in a UHF algebra A with 3(3) = \J™=lAn. Let {hn} be a sequence of self-adjoint elements in A such that 3(a) = i[/in, a] (aeAn). Then by 3.2.22, 3 is well-behaved and so || (1 ± S)(a) \\>\\a \\ (ae3(3)) (3.2.19). Therefore, 3 is a pre-generator if and only if (1 + 3)3(3) are dense in A. In quantum lattice systems, it is not so easy to check the density of (1 + 3)3(3) directly; instead, the analytic method is often used. Suppose that 3(3(3)) cz 3(3) (finite range interaction); then one can consider iterations 3n (n = 1,2,3,...,) on 3(3). An element a in 3(3) is said to be analytic with respect to 3 if there exists a positive number r such that Z^°=o( II ^"(a) ||/it!)r" < + oo (3°(a) = a). Let A(3) be the set of all analytic elements in 3(3). If A(3) is dense in A, then by 3.4.5, 3 is a pre-generator. If a quantum lattice system has a translation-invariant, finite range interaction, then A(3) = 3(3) and so 3 is a pre-generator (cf. [159]). In particular, the Examples (4) and (5) in §3.1 are pre-generators. For more general normal *-derivations, we shall use bounded perturbations (4.5.5). Since the property of 'pre-generator' is invariant under bounded perturbations, it is sufficient to study the generation problem for normal *-derivations under the assumption of 3(3(3)) c 3(3). Next suppose that a normal *-derivation 3 in A is a pre-generator; then
11(1 ±3ihny1(l±3)a-(l±3)-1(l±3)a\\^
||(1 ±3ihny1{(l±3)a-(l±3ihn)}a\\ (aeAn). ^\\(3-3ihn)(a)\\=0
Hence (1 ±3ihn)~ 1-+(1±3)~1 (strongly) so that exp(t3) = stronglimexp(tdihn) namely {exp(£<5)|felR} is approximately inner. Therefore it is approximately inner whenever a quantum lattice system defines a C*-dynamics. Next, we shall consider quasi-free derivations in the Example (6) in §3.1. Let if be a self-adjoint operator in a Hilbert space Jf and let H = Hx + T be the Weyl decomposition, where Hj is a diagonalizable self-adjoint operator and T is of Hilbert-Schmidt class; then
Let and dim(£;)= 1 (ij = 1,2,...,). Let Pn = Zni=1Ei and Jtro = \J^1Pnje. 3 be the restriction of 3iH to ja/ 0 (Jf 0 ); then 3 is a normal *-derivation. Since H\3tf0 = H, d = dlH9 and moreover (1 ± 3)3(3) => a((l ± \H)(3(H))) = a(Jtf); hence (1 ± 3)3(3) = j / p f ) , and so 3iH is a pre-generator and {Qxp(t3iH)\teR} is approximately inner. More generally, if S is a symmetric operator, we can easily see that (5iS has a normal *-derivation 3 as a core (i.e. 3 = 3iS\ by using the polar decomposition of S. If S has no self-adjoint extension, then 3iS does not necessarily have a generator extension. We have seen that all C*-dynamical generators appearing in quantum lattice systems and Fermion field theory are approximately inner. On the

other hand, if a C*-dynamics {A, a} (A, UHF algebra) is approximately inner, then it has many physical properties, so that a physical theory can be developed for approximately inner dynamics. Therefore the following conjecture is very important. 4.5.9 The Powers-Sakai conjecture Any C*-dynamics {A, a} with a UHF algebra A is approximately inner. Let (xt = Qxp(tS); then the following problem is important. 4.5.10 The core problem Does every generator 3 have a normal *-derivation (5X as a core (i.e. 8X = 3)1 An affirmative solution to the core problem would imply an affirmative solution to the conjecture. Therefore the affirmative solution to the core problem would be more desirable than the affirmative solution to the conjecture from the point of view of quantum lattice systems. In the following, we shall discuss both the conjecture and the core problem. Let a, = exp(f^). From 4.5.1, there is an increasing sequence {An} of finite type I subfactors in A such that AncAH + l9 \J?=1An a A(S) and \J™=1An is dense in A. Let {hn} be a sequence of self-adjoint elements in A such that d(a) = \[hn,a] (aeAn)(n= 1,2,3,...,). If (1 -8)[J™=lAn is dense in A, then 8 is the closure of restriction of 3 to \J™=1An and so has a normal *-derivation as a core; hence exp(td) = strong lim exp(t8ihn) - namely a is approximately inner. However, from the considerations on quasi-free derivations, one can easily see that the density of (1 — 8){J™=1An cannot be expected under a general selection of {J™=1An. An important, difficult problem is whether or not one can choose {An} such that (1 — 8)[J™=1An is dense in A. On the other hand, if the conjecture is true, then a general {An} may have all the necessary information to prove it in a sense. In fact, if (1 — 8iln)~ x ->(1 — 8)~1 (strongly) for some (/„), then by the density of \J™=1An, there is a sequence (sn) of such that ||/w — sn\\ < 1/n. Then, self-adjoint elements in [j^1An

For completeness, we shall show that fact below for quasi-free derivations in which case the assertion may not be trivial. Let Jf be a Hilbert space and H be a self-adjoint operator in Jf7. Let A(H) be the set of all analytic vectors in J^ with respect to if, and let {Vn} be an increasing sequence of finite-dimensional subspaces of A(H) such that (J * =1 Vn is dense in 3tf. Let En = the linear span of |J" m=0 H m F n where H°Vn = Vn\ then En is finite-dimensional and so s/(En) is a full matrix algebra; hence there is an element kn in ^/(Jf) such that SiH(a) = '\[kn,a~\(aestf(En))\

then <SiH» = 3iknm(a)(ae^(Vn);

By 4.5.5, one can change S to Sx by a bounded perturbation such that 81([j^=1An) a \J™=1An.

Therefore we can conclude that the C*»dynamics {J/,exp(td)(teR)} is approximately inner. Finally we shall prove the following proposition. 4.5.20 Proposition If one can choose an analytic element with respect to 6 as h in the above consideration, then every element of Q) is analytic with respect to 8 + Sih.

Except for the proof of analyticity the technique used in the proof was first invented by Glimm [207] for the study of UHF algebras. The Powers-Sakai conjecture has been studied by many researchers since the beginning of the theory of unbounded *-derivations in 1974. But, as yet, we do not have any definitive result on it. Proposition 4.5.11 was essentially due to Jaffe and Glimm [215]. However the present form was proved by Herman [76]. References [146], [166], [170], [175].
4.6 Commutative normal *-derivations in UHF algebras A classical lattice system is usually treated in a commutative algebra of functions. However it is more convenient to deal with it as a special case of quantum lattice systems, because we can then define the time automorphism group, and the Gibbs states can be computed as KMS states with respect to this time automorphism group. A commutative normal *-derivation in a UHF algebra is a generalization of a classical lattice system and they have better properties than a non-commutative one. In this section, we shall establish the basic properties of commutative derivations. Let S be a commutative normal *-derivation in a UHF-algebra A - i.e. one can choose a sequence {hn} of self-adjoint elements in A such that 8(a) = i[hn, a] (asAn; n = 1,2,...,), hmhn = hnhm (m, n = 1,2,...,). Let Bn be the

Moreover they are much more manageable than non-commutative ones, because they can be treated purely algebraically (cf. 4.1.10). References [167], [168], [169].
4.7 Phase transitions In this section, we shall prove the uniqueness theorem for general normal *-derivations with bounded surface energy. For such derivations we establish the absence of phase transitions, i.e. the uniqueness of /MCMS states for all p. 4.7.1 Definition Let {A, a} be a C*-dynamics and let p be a real number. Suppose that {A, a} has at least one KMS state at the inverse temperature p. Then {A, a} is said to have phase transition at P if it has at least two KMS states at p. If {A, a} has only one KMS state at jS, then it is said to have no phase transition at p. In mathematical physics, we are often concerned with a C*-algebra A containing the identity and an increasing sequence of C*-subalgebras {An} of A such that leAn and the uniform closure of \J™=1An is A. In addition, we are given a *-derivation S in s/ satisfying the following conditions: (2) there is a sequence of self-adjoint elements {hn} in A such that 3(a) = i[/in, a] (aeAn; n = 1,2,...). Such a *-derivation is called a general normal *-derivation in A. 4.7.2 Definition A general normal *-derivation 5 is said to have bounded surface energy if there is a sequence {kn} of self-adjoint elements in A such that kneAn (n = 1,2,...) and \\hn-kn\\= O(l) (n = 1,2,...).
If 6 has bounded surface energy, then by 4.1.9, S is a pre-generator and Qxp(tS) = strong limexp(r<5i/ln). Now we shall prove the following theorem. 4.7.3 Theorem Suppose that An (n= 1,2,...,) has a unique tracial state xn {consequently, A has a unique tracial state T). If a general normal * -derivation 3 in A has bounded surface energy, then the C*-dynamics {A,exp{td){teU)} has a unique KMS state at P for each real number P {namely it has no phase transition at P for each real number P).

4 8 Continuous quantum systems The study of continuous quantum systems is so far incomplete. In fact, for general interacting models, the time evolution has not yet been constructed. This means that the corresponding *-derivation has not been constructed globally for interacting models. In this section, we shall generalize the notion of a C*-dynamical system to include a fairly wide class of interacting models in continuous quantum systems.
184
Operator algebras in dynamical systems
We shall formulate a system of four axioms (l)-(4) which is satisfied by a fairly wide class of interacting models in continuous quantum systems, and show that a globally defined *-derivation exists under these four axioms. Next we shall add a further three axioms (5)-(7) to study the existence of time evolution and KMS states, and to show that the combined seven axioms (l)-(7) assure the existence of time evolution and KMS states. Unfortunately it is not so easy to check axioms (6) and (7) for interacting models in continuous quantum systems. These two axioms are more or less automatic if the model has time evolution and a KMS state. It is a problem for the future to check them for general interacting models. We shall give some applications of these two axioms in some concrete models. For continuous quantum systems, another hopeful method might be to consider dynamical systems on unbounded operator algebras. In the last part of this section, we shall present the systems of five axioms (V)-(5r) to formulate dynamical systems on unbounded operator algebras, which might be applicable to a wide class of interacting models. We shall show that these five axioms (l')-(5f) ensure again the existence of time evolution and KMS states. Here again Axiom (5') is difficult to verify for general interacting models. Both Axioms (7) and (5') comprise the so-called core problem in mathematics which appears in various branches of mathematical physics and is a traditionally difficult problem. In the previous sections, we have formulated the theory of quantum lattice systems within the framework of unbounded *-derivations in C*-algebras. In particular, time evolution has been constructed as a strongly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on a C*-algebra by integrating a given unbounded *-derivation in the algebra. Consequently, C*-dynamics is well fitted to be an abstraction of quantum lattice systems. On the other hand, for continuous quantum systems it is impossible to construct time evolution as a strongly continuous one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on an appropriate C*-algebra. At best, one may hope to construct time evolution as a a-weakly continuous one-parameter group of *- automorphisms on the weak closure of a C*-algebra on an appropriate Hilbert space. This is the case of the ideal Bose gas. However for general interacting models, time evolution has not been constructed even in this weak sense. As a matter of fact, even the *-derivation has not been constructed globally for interacting models. In this section, we shall generalize the notion of C*-dynamical systems so that our system can include a wide class of interacting models in continuous quantum systems and discuss the existence of time evolution and KMS states. In mathematical physics, we are often concerned with a C*-algebra jtf containing an identity and an increasing sequence {stfn} of C*-subalgebras

A linear mapping S in si is said to be a *-derivation if it satisfies the following conditions: (1) There is an increasing sequence {@n} of *-subalgebras of si containing the identity such that 1 G^1 CZ $)2 cz • • • cz Q)n cz • • •. (2) There is an increasing subsequence {m(n)} of {n} such that 2n cz stfm{n) and the cr-weak closure of Q)n in sim{n) contains sin for each n.

(4) For each Q)n there is a self-adjoint operator hn in Jf m(n) such that S(a) = i[/in, a] forae@n, where (•) is the closure of (•) on the space Jf m(M). Now we shall give some examples of the above system. For details, we refer the reader to Bratteli and Robinson [42]. Let L2(UV) be the Hilbert space of all square integrable functions on the v-dimensional euclidean space (Rv, and let ^"±(L2(RV)) be the Bose-Fock and Fermi-Fock spaces. Let An = {XGUV\ II x || < w}, where || • || is the euclidean norm of Rv and let L2(An) ±m denote the subspace of L2(Anm) formed by the totally symmetric (plus sign) and totally anti-symmetric (minus sign) functions of m-variables xeAn. Consider the associated Fock space J r ± (L 2 (A n )) = X m ^ 0 ^ 2 (^«)± m w ^ t n 2 L (An), and let sf ±(An) denote the CCR and the CAR algebras respectively. Take the a-weak closure of si + (AB) in B(& ± (L2(An)); then it is B(& ± (L2(An)). Now let A be a bounded open subset of the configuration space 1RV such that OeA and — A = A.

Now define a *-derivation S on (J^° = 1 ^ n as follows.

, where [•] is the closure of [•]. Then S satisfies the conditions (l)-(3). has a self-adjoint extension for each m, then it satisfies Condition (4). This may be done under suitable conditions on the function O, and a suitable boundary condition on — V2. By the above considerations, we have seen that if an interacting continuous quantum model is defined through a two-body interaction potential with v O G L 2 ( A ) (A, a bounded open subset of U \ there is always a globally defined *-derivation 3.

Now by Condition (5), we can define a state on <stfm(n) for each n as follows: (t>n(a) = T r ( a e x p ( - R ) ) / T r ( e x p ( - R ) ) for aestfm(n). The following two conditions are difficult to prove for interacting models. However, to assure the existence of time evolution and KMS state, they are more or less necessary, though they might be weakened. (6) There is a locally normal state c/> on stf (the uniform closure of \J^=1^/n on J^±(L2([RV))) such that 0(a) = limn_QO0ll(fl) for ae®{8) and (l>(a*d(a)) = \imn^^n(a*S(a))

By the local normality, we mean that the restriction of <j> to stfn is normal for each n.

To prove the theorem, we shall provide some considerations. Since the a-weak closure of @(d) n srfm{n) in s/m{n) contains srfn and (/> is locally normal, the cr-weak closure of @(8)ns/m{n) in M contains j / n , for n^s/m(n)) is (j-weakly closed in B(J^^); hence the c-weak closure of Q)(b) in M is M.

D For a, be2(8) with a* = a, = 5(aft)^ - (ad(b% = S(a)b+; hence 3 (a) = i [//, a]. Since i [if, a] is symmetric and i [H, a] <= i [H, a], i[H,a] c {i[/J,a]}* c {i[H,a]}» = i[H^fl]; hence i [ ^ a ] = i [ f £ a ] for ae®(5). By Corollary 3.2.5b in [41], 5 is a^^T^J-closable. For xeB(Jf^), define p,(x) = exp(itH)xexp(— itH); then ti—>pf is a a-weakly continuous oneparameter group of *-automorphisms on B(J^+).

Now we shall show that (1 ± 8)2(8) = Jl. Since (1 ± 8)2(8) are a-weakly dense in Jl, for X G J there is a directed set { a j in ^((5) such that (1 + S)(aa) -• x (cr-weakly). (1 + J r H l + 5)(aa) = (1 + 5)" 1 !! + 5)(fl«) = fl«-^(l + S'r'x Ja-weakly), because 5 is the generator. Hence (1 + 8)~1xe2(8) and (1 + 5)(1 + ^ ) - 1 x = x and so (1 + 8)2(8) = M. Analogously (1 — 8)2(8) = Jl. Now by the Hille-Yoshida theorem (cf. Theorem 3.1.10 in [41]), S is the generator of a a ^ , #^-continuous oneparameter group of *-automorphisms on Jl. Let at = exp(td)(teR); then (f}(8(a)) = 0 for ae2(d) and so >(8(a)) = 0 for xs2(d); hence ^(ar(a)) = >(a) for a e ^ . Define Mra^ = ar(a)0; then wf can be uniquely extended to a unitary operator on Jf+ (denoted again by ut).

This is impossible; hence 0(aa*) = O implies 0(a*a) = 0. Next for ae^(<5), there is a directed set {aa} in 0(5) such that a a ->a (strongly) and (5(aa)-»(5(a) (strongly), for 8 is the a-weak closure of 3. Hence, - ip<j>(a*8(a))

This is impossible; hence (f)(aa*) = 0 implies (j)(aa*) = 0. By the above lemma, we have finished the proof of Theorem 4.8.2. Now we shall discuss some concrete cases. 4.8.6 The ideal Fermi gas In this case, we can discuss our subject quite abstractly. Let J ^ . p f ) be the anti-symmetric Fock space built over the one-particle Hilbert space Jf, and let if be a self-adjoint operator in jf. Then the time evolution a is given as follows. at(x) = r(exp(ittf))xr(exp(- itH))
(xeB(^_(JT))),
where T is the second quantization of unitary operators on Jf. The action on the annihilation and creation operators are at(a(f)) = a(exp(itH)f) and a r (a*(/)) = a*(exp(k//)/). Therefore the time evolution can be expressed as a one-parameter group of *-automorphisms on the canonical anticommutation relation algebra ^ _ p f ) . We shall use the notation from §3.1, Example (6), except for using s4 _ p f ) instead of j/(Jf). It is strongly continuous, because || a f (a(/)) - a(f) || = || a(exp(irif)/ - / ) || = || exp(i*H)/ - / 1 | . Now suppose that H is a finite-rank operator with the range space R(H), and let / l 5 / 2 , • • • , / „ be an orthonormal basis of #(//). Let /i>/2>--->/«>/w + i>---/n+p>---be an orthonormal basis of «^. Then a,W/ n+P )) - a(/ n + p ) and a f (a*(/ n+p )) = a*(/M+p)(p =1,2,...). Since s/-(R(H)) is finite-dimensional, a, is uniformly continuous on j/_(K(if)) so that it is uniformly continuous on j / _ ( J f ) . Let at = Qxp(t8); then ^ is a bounded *-derivation. Since s/_(Jt?) is simple, by 2.5.7 there is a self-adjoint element h in j / _ ( J f ) such that 5(a) = i[M](aej*_(Jf)). On the other hand, j / _ ( J f ) is a UHF algebra; therefore there is a unique tracial state x on srf_(#?). Clearly, a KMS state for {j/_(Jf),a} at j? is = T(aexp(- /Jfc))/T(exp(Moreover by the considerations at the beginning of §4.3, such a KMS state at P is unique. Next, let H be a general self-adjoint operator in Jf; then by Weyl's theorem for arbitrary a( > 0), H can be expressed as H = HE + X£, where if£ is a diagonal self-adjoint operator and KE is of Hilbert-Schmidt

By 4.3.17, {«a/_(Jf),a} has a KMS state > at /?. Now we shall show that the (j> is unique for {^_(Jf),a} at p. Suppose that \jj be another KMS state for {j*_pf),a} at p.

Now we shall discuss Gibbs thermodynamic limit or, more generally, KMS states for non-interacting Fermi systems. Let A be a bounded open subset of the configuration space IRV and define a self-adjoint operator HA in L2(A) as a self-adjoint extension of the Laplacian — V2, where —V2 is defined on all infinitely differentiable functions with support in A. The number of the possible extensions is partially governed by the smoothness of the boundary of A. 4.8.8 Theorem For each bounded open subset A a [Rv, let HA be a self-adjoint extension of —V2 in L 2(A) and let H be the unique self-adjoint extension in. L2(UV) of —V2. Let J / _ ( L 2 ( A ) ) be the anti-commutation relation algebra over L2(A) and srf_(L2(UV)) be the corresponding algebra over L2([RV), and let aA and oc be the one-parameter groups of *-automorphisms O / J / _ ( L 2 ( A ) ) and A J / _ ( L 2 ( K V ) ) such that oct (a(f)) = a(exp(i*ifA )/) and a f (a(/)) = a(exp(iri/)/).

(4r) There is a locally normal state (j) on s/± such that lim^^^ 0n(a) = <j>(a) and Iimll_oo0ll(fl*5(6)) = 0(fl*5(&)) for a,be@ + , where (j)n(a) = T r ( a e x p ( - R))/Tr(exp( - R ) ) and 0B(a*5(fl)) = Tr(oM(b)exp(-R))/ Tr(exp(- jSftJ) for a,be@±. Now suppose that a *-derivation 5 satisfies Conditions (V)-(4'). By (3'), S(a) exp( - Phn) = i[fcB, a] exp( - /JfcJ = i(fcna - ahn) exp( hence S(a) exp( - )8fcn) =3 ihna exp( - R ) - \ahn exp( - R ) . By a discussion similar to that in the proof of Theorem 4.8.2, ahnexp( — /3hn) is of trace class and so 5(a) exp( - phn) + \dhn exp( - phn) => \hna exp( - jSfcJ; hence S(a) exp( — j8ftn) + \ahn exp( — jS/in) = \hna exp( — j9/in). Therefore, (j>Ma)) = Tr((5(a)exp( - jS/zM))/Tr(exp( - R ) ) = Tr(iMexp( - R ) - ia/znexp( - R ) ) / T r ( e x p ( - R ) ) . Let hn = Xj°= i ^ / j , where dim(^) = 1 and {e}} is a mutually orthogonal family of projections with XJL i^/ = 1- Then,

also Tr(ia/znexp( — phn)) = Tr(iaexp(— Phn)hn) and so (t>n{S(a)) = 0 for define Therefore we have cj)(S(a)) = O for ae@±. For xeB{^±(L\Am{n)))\ ^/j(x) = Tr(xexp(-j8/iM))/Tr(exp(-jS/zM)); then \\tn is a KMS state at j? for the W*-dynamical system {B{3? ±(L2(Am(n)))),yB}, where yn,t(x) = for xeB(^±(L2(Am(n)))).

2 By Condition (3'), for ae^±(Am(M)),<2exp( — flhjl) is of trace class; hence we can define the image dlf/n of a in J-f ^ uniquely. Moreover,

Now we shall consider the following condition (5')
{[(1 ±d)a](f)\ae@±} is dense in J ^ . Then the closure of H^ is selfadjoint. Let 7r^(at(x)) = exp(irH^)7r^(x)exp( — itH^) for xestf + ; then the state cp on s/± is a KMS state at ft for the dynamics {«$/ + , a}.
Therefore we have the following theorem. 4.8.11 Theorem If a dynamical system {s/±,3} satisfies Conditions (l')-(5'), then it has a time evolution tt-nxt(teU) and a KMS state at /? (/? > 0). Now we shall apply the above system of conditions to interacting Bose models. Let O be an even positive function on Ux with compact support K which is continuous except possibly at the origin. Consider a two-body interaction
Then,
Let T^ An(1) denote the self-adjoint extension of — V2 corresponding to the Dirichlet^oundary condition ^ = 0 on dAn. Define T0OfAn = dr(TG0>A(1)) (the second quantization of 7^>An(1)). Let HOOtAn = TQ0>An + l/^ An (the sum is not necessarily the operator sum) (cf. page 356 in [42]); then H^ An is self-adjoint. Moreover exp{ — P(HaOtAn — fiNAJ} is of trace class for all / ? > 0 and fieU for Fermi statistics and all \i < oo for Bose statistics (cf. Proposition 6.3.5 in [42]).

Therefore Condition (4') is satisfied. It is difficult to prove Condition (5') for interacting models and this is one of the most important problems in the continuous quantum system. We shall leave this important problem for future research. In any case, it is one of the most important problems to construct time evolution and KMS states for interacting models.
