I am currently trying to learn about CCR algebras (canonical commutation relations) and I am experiencing some confusion with the proof that the CCR algebra of a (non-degenerate, real) symplectic vector space is unique.



I have been reading from chapter 6 of the following, in which the relevant result is Theorem 3:



https://www.math.uni-potsdam.de/fileadmin/user_upload/Prof-Geometrie/Dokumente/Publikationen/qft-alg.pdf



I shall summarise the proof, and insert numbers where I have questions. Any terminology should be defined in the document linked above.



Proof:
Given two CCR-representations ($A_1$, $W_1$) and ($A_2$, $W_2$) of the symplectic vector space ($V$, $omega$), we must show that the $^*$-isomorphism $pi:langle W_1(V)ranglerightarrowlangle W_2(V)rangle$ between the $^*$-algebras $langle W_1(V)rangle$ and $langle W_2(V)rangle$ extends to an isometry between $A_1$ and $A_2$$^(1)$.



Then the norm $|x|=|pi(x)|_2$ is introduced on $A_1$, and it noted that $|pi(x)|_2leq |x|_textmax$, where $|cdot|_textmax$ is defined in Lemma 9 by



$$|x|_textmax=suptext is a C^*text norm on langle W_1(V)rangle.$$



Then it is concluded that $varphi$ extends to a $^*$-homomorphism $overlinelangle W_1(V)rangle^textmaxrightarrow A_2$$^(2)$. Lemma 10 is applied to conclude that this extension is injective, and then it follows that the extension is isometric$^(3)$.



This is pretty much where the proof finishes, barring one note about the case when $A_1=A_2$. I'll now list my questions.



(1) Checking this will be sufficient because we could then do the same for the inverse $varphi^-1$ to get the required map between $A_1$ and $A_2$?



(2) The bound $|pi(x)|_2leq |x|_textmax$ shows that $pi$ is continuous, so $pi$ extends to $overlinelangle W_1(V)rangle^textmax$ by continuity and density of $langle W_1(V)rangle$?



(3) I really don't understand why this is sufficient. To me it seems that finishing at this point requires the completion $overlinelangle W_1(V)rangle^textmax$ to coincide with $A_1$, but I haven't really gotten anywhere with showing this on my own.



Any help/suggestions/slaps around the face because it's obvious will be greatly appreciated.

          I've had a good old think about this, and may have filled in some of the blanks.



          For starters I have some additional confusion in the author's definition of CCR-algebras, they say that if $(A,W)$ is a Weyl system of $(V,omega)$ then $A$ is a CCR-algebra if $A$ is generated as a C$^*$-algebra by the set $W(u)text; uin V$. All texts I have encountered only define C$^*$-subalgebras generated by subsets so I assume that what is meant in this case is that $A$ coincides with the C$^*$-subalgebra of itself generated by $W(u)text; uin V$. If this is what is meant, then it is possible to show using the properties of a Weyl system that $A$ is the norm-closure of the linear span of the set $W(u)text; uin V$.



          Consider the $^*$-isomorphism $pi:langle W_1(V) ranglerightarrowlangle W_2(V) rangle$. The set $langle W_2(V) rangle$ is dense in $A_2$, and the image of the composition



          $$langle W_1(V) rangle oversetpirightarrowlangle W_2(V) rangle oversetihookrightarrow A_2,$$



          (where $i$ denotes inclusion), is $langle W_2(V) rangle$. (Perhaps it is worth noting that this composition is a $*$-homomorphism).



          Defining $|x|:=|pi(x)|_2$ gives a C$^*$-norm on $langle W_1(V) rangle$ so there is the bound $|pi(x)|_2=|x|leq |x|_textmax$ which shows that the composition above is continuous and we may extend it to a map $varphi:overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmaxrightarrow A_2$. Now we invoke Lemma 10 to deduce that $varphi$ is injective and hence isometric.



          Since $varphi$ extends $icirc pi$, the image of $varphi$ must contain $langle W_2(V) rangle$, but since $varphi$ is an isometry into a complete metric space, its image must be closed, therefore $varphi$ is surjective, so is an isomorphism. (Presumably the extension $varphi$ is also a $^*$-homomorphism too).



          I am still a bit stuck on the last part.




          I think that I'm going to take a break from thinking about this, and return in a day or two.

          • Hmm, for the last part I think that it may have been obvious the whole time, but I was just failing to spot it. I think that we just observe that $(overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmax,W)$ satisfies the definition of a CCR-representation, so that $overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmax$ is a CCR algebra. Then replacing $A_2$ by this in the above would give imply the full result.

If this is what is meant, then it is possible to show using the properties of a Weyl system that $A$ is the norm-closure of the linear span of the set $W(u)text; uin V$.



          Consider the $^*$-isomorphism $pi:langle W_1(V) ranglerightarrowlangle W_2(V) rangle$. The set $langle W_2(V) rangle$ is dense in $A_2$, and the image of the composition



          $$langle W_1(V) rangle oversetpirightarrowlangle W_2(V) rangle oversetihookrightarrow A_2,$$



          (where $i$ denotes inclusion), is $langle W_2(V) rangle$. (Perhaps it is worth noting that this composition is a $*$-homomorphism).



          Defining $|x|:=|pi(x)|_2$ gives a C$^*$-norm on $langle W_1(V) rangle$ so there is the bound $|pi(x)|_2=|x|leq |x|_textmax$ which shows that the composition above is continuous and we may extend it to a map $varphi:overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmaxrightarrow A_2$. Now we invoke Lemma 10 to deduce that $varphi$ is injective and hence isometric.



          Since $varphi$ extends $icirc pi$, the image of $varphi$ must contain $langle W_2(V) rangle$, but since $varphi$ is an isometry into a complete metric space, its image must be closed, therefore $varphi$ is surjective, so is an isomorphism. (Presumably the extension $varphi$ is also a $^*$-homomorphism too).



          I am still a bit stuck on the last part.




          I think that I'm going to take a break from thinking about this, and return in a day or two.

          • Hmm, for the last part I think that it may have been obvious the whole time, but I was just failing to spot it. I think that we just observe that $(overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmax,W)$ satisfies the definition of a CCR-representation, so that $overlinelangle W_1(V) rangle^textmax$ is a CCR algebra. Then replacing $A_2$ by this in the above would give imply the full result.

          • Well I finished working through this proof, then looked back at their Lemma 10 and realised that I don't understand their argument there either... Oh well.
