CV-6: dynamical mode locality — support is invariant under free evolution #
Category: CV (continuous variables — the multi-mode field).
CV/ModeLocality.lean proved the kinematic locality axiom: operators
supported on disjoint mode sets commute (commute_of_disjointSupport). This
module makes it dynamical: Heisenberg evolution by the free field's
stroboscopic step preserves mode support, so the commutation of disjoint
regions persists at every period.

Honest scope: the free (mode-diagonal) drive only. Interacting drives are
handled downstream: CV-8 bounds where support goes
(CV/SupportSpreading.lean, the coupling-graph light cone, with a
K = N = 2 witness), and CV-9 prices how much locality costs in norm
(CV/InteractionPrice.lean, linear in the coupling).

Heisenberg conjugation #
Heisenberg conjugation by a unitary: A ↦ U† A U, the observable
after one period of the dynamics generated by U.
Equations
- CSD.CV.heisenberg U A = star ↑U * A * ↑U
Instances For
Conjugation by a product is iterated conjugation.
Conjugation by a diagonal-phase unitary multiplies each entry by the
phase difference: (U† A U) c d = e^{+i f(c)} · A c d · e^{-i f(d)}.
Mode-additive phases and the phase-difference collapse #
Off-S agreement collapses a mode-additive difference to the S-modes:
the spectator terms cancel.
The conjugating phase pair of a mode-additive diagonal unitary depends
only on the S-modes when the configurations agree off S:
e^{+i f(x)} · e^{-i f(y)} = e^{-i ∑_{k∈S} (g k (y k) − g k (x k))}.
Mode-additive diagonal phases preserve mode support. Conjugation
multiplies A c d by e^{-i (f d − f c)}; when the configurations agree off
S the phase difference lives on the S-modes alone, so both SupportedOn
fields survive.
The free field: support is invariant at every period #
One free-field period preserves mode support — the field energy is
mode-additive (fieldEnergy c = ∑ₖ oscEnergy (c k)).
Every free-field period preserves mode support: the n-period
Heisenberg observable is still supported on S.
Disjointly supported observables commute after one free-field period.
★★ Dynamical locality: observables of disjoint mode sets, evolved in
the Heisenberg picture for ANY number of free-field periods, still commute.
The kinematic Haag–Kastler axiom (commute_of_disjointSupport) is stable
under the free dynamics — locality is a feature of the evolution, not just
of the instant.
