Covering entropy for types in tracial W^*- algebras #

by DAVID JEKEL

The first displayed equation in the paper includes the term τ (X₁ * Y * X₂ * Z) ^ 2 Here τ is the trace and * is matrix multiplication. There are two ways to parenthesize this and here we prove their inequivalence. Perhaps it does not matter for the paper, however. In that sense, mathematical articles may be underdetermined without being wrong.

We give examples over ℚ, ℝ, ℂ. Over each we can use the tactic aesop; over ℚ we can also use decide.

def I :
Fin 2Fin 2
Equations
  • I x y = if x = y then 1 else 0
Instances For
    theorem square :
    I ^ 2 = I
    def τ :
    (Fin 2Fin 2)
    Equations
    • τ = Matrix.trace
    Instances For
      theorem two :
      τ I = 2
      theorem without_parentheses :
      τ I ^ 2 = τ I ^ 2

      Lean's convention is perhaps surprising here:

      def Iℚ :
      Fin 2Fin 2
      Equations
      • Iℚ x y = if x = y then 1 else 0
      Instances For
        def τℚ :
        (Fin 2Fin 2)

          def Iℂ :
          Fin 2Fin 2
          Equations
