LF4 Tranche 1: the Born weights as the torus moment map on ℂℙ^{N-1} #
The Kähler structure on ℂℙ^{N-1} carries a canonical object the CSD corpus
never invokes: the moment map of the maximal-torus action. For the standard
phase action of Tᴺ on ℂℙ^{N-1}, the moment map is
Φ : ℂℙ^{N-1} → Δ_{N-1}, Φ([z])ᵢ = |zᵢ|² / ‖z‖²
landing in the standard simplex (coordinates nonnegative, summing to one). Its
coordinates are the Born weights in the measurement eigenbasis: at a unit
preparation ψ,
Φ([ψ])ᵢ = |ψᵢ|² = ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖² (eᵢ = EuclideanSpace.single i 1).
Mathematically this is a theorem of symplectic geometry — the coordinate
formula is forced by the Fubini–Study Kähler structure together with the
torus action — not an arc carved to a target value
(SingletKahler.kMuPsi_kRegion) and not an operational-consistency postulate
(busch_effect_gleason). It exhibits the Born weight vector as a canonical
invariant of the very structure the programme takes as primitive (the compact
Kähler Σ). See specs/carve-out-plan.md (Tranche 1).
Formalisation boundary (honest scope). In Lean, momentMap is defined
directly by the coordinate formula ‖p.rep i‖²/‖p.rep‖²; the statement that
this function satisfies the Hamiltonian moment-map equation ι_{X_i} ω = dΦᵢ
for the FS symplectic form is the (standard, unformalised) symplectic fact
motivating the name — Mathlib has no symplectic-form API and no Kähler API, so
the "forced by the Kähler structure" claim is mathematical narrative, not a
Lean theorem. What is machine-verified: well-definedness on rays
(momentMap_mk), the simplex constraints (momentMap_nonneg,
momentMap_sum_eq_one), the Born-weight identity
(momentMap_mk_eq_inner_sq), and — by the measure-theoretic Gaussian route,
not symplectic machinery — the Duistermaat–Heckman pushforward law
(fs_moment_pushforward_uniform, qubit, proved 2026-05-31;
fs_moment_joint_dirichlet_N, the joint Dirichlet law for general N,
proved 2026-06-02). An earlier revision of this docstring listed the DH
pushforward as not yet proved; that scope note is superseded.
Scope of this slice (historical). This module delivers the moment map, the
simplex constraints, and the headline Born-weight identity. The ψ-dependence
of preparations still enters through the preparation measure μψ, whose
principled construction is the open G3b content.
Category: conceptually 1-Mathlib (CSD-free projective/Kähler geometry); kept
here in CSD.LF4 for now as it drives the carve-out programme. Extraction
candidate (cf. LF4-todo §10).
The torus moment map on ℂℙ^{N-1}, in coordinates: Φ([z])ᵢ = |zᵢ|²/‖z‖².
Well-defined on the projective point (scale-invariant; see momentMap_mk).
Equations
- CSD.LF4.momentMap p i = ‖(Projectivization.rep p).ofLp i‖ ^ 2 / ‖Projectivization.rep p‖ ^ 2
Instances For
The moment map evaluated at a representative ψ: Φ([ψ])ᵢ = ‖ψᵢ‖²/‖ψ‖².
The value depends only on ψ (not on the chosen rep), by scale-invariance.
Headline (Tranche 1): the Born weight is the moment-map coordinate.
For a unit preparation ψ, the i-th coordinate of the Fubini–Study torus
moment map at [ψ] equals the Born weight ‖⟨eᵢ, ψ⟩‖² in the measurement
eigenbasis eᵢ = EuclideanSpace.single i 1. Forced by the Kähler structure +
torus action; no carving, no operational-consistency postulate.
Regularity: momentMap is continuous, hence measurable #
momentMap is defined through p.rep, which is a Classical.choice representative — so it
cannot be attacked directly: Projectivization.rep is not continuous as a map out of ℙ, and no
amount of unfolding makes it so. The route is the quotient. The coordinate ratio
v ↦ ‖vᵢ‖²/‖v‖² is continuous on the nonzero subtype and scale-invariant (momentRatio_smul), and
mk' is a quotient map (Projectivization.isQuotientMap_mk'), so the descended function is
continuous. Measurability is then immediate because ℙ K V carries the Borel σ-algebra of that
same topology (Projectivization.instBorelSpace).
Needed by the record layer: the context-fixed basin Bᵢ(M) is a preimage under
(p, θ) ↦ (momentMap p, θ), so its measurability rests on exactly this.
The moment-map coordinate is continuous. Proved by descent through the quotient map mk',
since momentMap's defining formula goes through the choice-based rep.
The moment-map coordinate is measurable. Immediate from continuity, since ℙ ℂ V carries
the Borel σ-algebra of the quotient topology (Projectivization.instBorelSpace). This is the
prerequisite for the context-fixed basin Bᵢ(M) to be a measurable subset of Σ.
