The Gibbs product entropy budget

Abstract

Physical Gibbs marginals yield the entropy-budget lower bound on the free gap.

Natural subtraction is truncated at zero. All other divisions are in Real or Complex. Scalar casts retain their target type. Matrix products are operator products, and Matrix.conjTranspose is conjugate transpose. Subtype.val is the value of a density; Equiv.symm applied to CStarMatrix.ofMatrix recovers its ordinary matrix. Assignment N is the occupation basis Fin N → Bool. Implicit Lean mode and dimension arguments may be displayed explicitly. Bracketed Fintype, DecidableEq and Nonempty assumptions are anonymous instance arguments.

Definition 1.1 (Difference of literal energy infima).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Fermionic/GibbsProductGap.energyGap (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Both sets contain the actual trace energies of density states with the displayed physicality predicates. The infimum over all physical densities is subtracted from the product infimum.

Definition 1.2 (Free energy in nats).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Fermionic/GibbsProductGap.freeEnergy (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The entropy is von Neumann entropy using the natural logarithm.

Definition 1.3 (Actual Gibbs-to-product free-energy difference).

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Fermionic/GibbsProductGap.freeGap (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The comparison state is the tensor product of the actual one-site marginals of the Gibbs density.

Theorem 1.4 (Ground-sector entropy-budget bound).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Fermionic/GibbsProductGap.gibbs_product_free_bound (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The Gibbs density commutes with global parity, hence every actual site marginal commutes with its local parity. Their product has zero interaction energy. A trace-one ground projection bounds the partition function below by exp(-beta E), while the product entropy is bounded above by the logarithm of the Fock dimension.
