CV-5: free-field stroboscopic dynamics (the CV pillar meets the Floquet interface) #
Category: 3-Local (CV track; CSD-free construction).
The free field's Hamiltonian is mode-diagonal (fieldHamiltonian = diagonal (fieldEnergy ·)), so its stroboscopic one-period evolution is an explicit
diagonal-phase unitary — no matrix-exponential machinery is needed to build
it, and the matrix exponential is recovered as a theorem:
phaseDiagU f— the diagonal-phase unitarydiag (e^{-i f(x)})over ANY finite index (generic; the kicked-IsingphaseMatis the same shape).freeFieldU K N τ— one stroboscopic period of the free field: phasese^{-i τ E(c)}at the field energiesE(c) = ∑ₖ oscEnergy (c k).- ★
freeFieldU_eq_exp— legitimacy: the constructed step IS the matrix exponentialexp (-(iτ) • H_field)(viaMatrix.exp_diagonal), so "generated by the field Hamiltonian" is a theorem, not a reading. freeFieldFloquet K N τ— the field dynamics as aFloquetEvolutionthrough the genericofUnitaryMatrixseam: the whole §H interface API (exact information preservation at every period, induced projective dynamics, Loschmidt diagnostics) applies to the CV pillar verbatim.
The CSD-side closure (ontic lift on KSigma, record persistence) is
instantiated in Empirical/CSD/QuantumChaos/FreeFieldClosure.lean; the
locality consequence (mode-support preservation, dynamical commutation) is
CV-6 (CV/DynamicalLocality.lean). Honest scope: finite cutoff throughout
(K modes, N levels), free field only — interactions are outside this
module's claims.
The diagonal-phase unitary, generically #
Each diagonal phase entry annihilates its conjugate:
conj (e^{-ir}) · e^{-ir} = 1.
The diagonal-phase unitary diag (e^{-i f(x)}) over any finite index:
the one-period evolution of any diagonal Hamiltonian with (real) spectrum
f.
Equations
- CSD.CV.phaseDiagU f = ⟨Matrix.diagonal fun (x : ι) => Complex.exp (-(Complex.I * ↑(f x))), ⋯⟩
Instances For
The free-field stroboscopic step #
One stroboscopic period of the free field: diagonal phases
e^{-i τ E(c)} at the field energies.
Equations
- CSD.CV.freeFieldU K N τ = CSD.CV.phaseDiagU fun (c : CSD.CV.FieldConfig K N) => τ * CSD.CV.fieldEnergy c
Instances For
Every diagonal-phase unitary is the matrix exponential of its (real
diagonal) generator: phaseDiagU f = exp (−i • diag f). The generic
exp-legitimacy seam — freeFieldU_eq_exp and the interacting drive's
interactingU_eq_exp (CV/Interaction.lean) are instances.
★ Legitimacy: the constructed step IS the matrix exponential of the
field Hamiltonian, freeFieldU K N τ = exp (-(iτ) • H_field) — so
"generated by H_field" is a theorem of the construction, not a gloss.
The free field as a Floquet evolution — the §H interface applies to the CV pillar verbatim: exact information preservation at every period, induced projective dynamics, Loschmidt diagnostics.
