The Euclidean group action on Schwartz maps over `TimeAndSpace`

i. Overview

In this file we define the pullback action of the Euclidean group on Schwartz maps over `TimeAndSpace d`. The action is `g • η = fun tx => η (g⁻¹ • tx)`.

definition

Continuous representation of E(d)E(d) on S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F)

The continuous representation of the Euclidean group E(d)E(d) on the space of Schwartz maps S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F) over the real numbers R\mathbb{R}. For an element gE(d)g \in E(d) and a Schwartz function η\eta, the action is defined by the pullback: (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx) (g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx) where txTime×Space dtx \in \text{Time} \times \text{Space } d represents a point in the space-time manifold. The group action g1txg^{-1} \cdot tx acts on the spatial component of the coordinate while leaving the time component invariant. This definition characterizes the action as a continuous linear representation ρ:E(d)End(S(Time×Space d,F))\rho : E(d) \to \text{End}(\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F)), where each ρ(g)\rho(g) is a continuous linear operator on the Schwartz space.

theorem

Pointwise formula for the Euclidean action on Schwartz maps: (schwartzEuclideanAction gη)(tx)=η(g1tx)(\text{schwartzEuclideanAction } g \, \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx)

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, let gg be an element of the Euclidean group E(d)E(d), ηS(Time×Space d,F)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F) be a Schwartz map, and txtx be a point in the space-time manifold Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d. The value of the continuous representation of the Euclidean group action schwartzEuclideanAction\text{schwartzEuclideanAction} on the map η\eta at the point txtx is given by the pointwise formula: (schwartzEuclideanAction(g,η))(tx)=η(g1tx) (\text{schwartzEuclideanAction}(g, \eta))(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx) where g1txg^{-1} \cdot tx represents the action of the inverse element g1g^{-1} on the space-time coordinate txtx (which leaves the time component invariant and transforms the spatial component).

instance

Group action of E(d)E(d) on S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F)

The Euclidean group E(d)E(d) acts on the space of Schwartz maps S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F) (where FF is a normed space) via a pullback action. For any group element gE(d)g \in E(d) and any Schwartz map η\eta, the action results in a new Schwartz map defined by (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx)(g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx) for all txTime×Space dtx \in \text{Time} \times \text{Space } d. The group transformation g1g^{-1} acts on the spatial components of the spacetime coordinates while the time component remains invariant.

theorem

Pointwise formula for the Euclidean action on Schwartz maps: (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx)(g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx)

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, let gg be an element of the Euclidean group E(d)E(d), η\eta be a Schwartz map in S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F), and txtx be a point in the spacetime Time×Space d\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d. The evaluation of the group action of gg on η\eta at the point txtx is given by the pointwise formula: (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx) (g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx) where g1txg^{-1} \cdot tx denotes the action of the inverse element g1g^{-1} on the spacetime coordinate txtx (which transforms the spatial part and leaves the time part invariant).

theorem

The Euclidean action of hh and gg on a Schwartz map equals the action of hgh \cdot g

For any dimension dNd \in \mathbb{N}, given elements gg and hh of the Euclidean group E(d)E(d) and a Schwartz map ηS(TimeAndSpace d,F)\eta \in \mathcal{S}(\text{TimeAndSpace } d, F), applying the Euclidean action of gg and then the Euclidean action of hh is equivalent to applying the pullback action of the product hgh \cdot g: schwartzEuclideanAction(h,schwartzEuclideanAction(g,η))=schwartzEuclideanAction(hg,η) \text{schwartzEuclideanAction}(h, \text{schwartzEuclideanAction}(g, \eta)) = \text{schwartzEuclideanAction}(h \cdot g, \eta) This reflects that the continuous representation of the Euclidean group on the space of Schwartz maps follows the group multiplication law.

theorem

Injectivity of the Euclidean Group Action on Schwartz Maps

Let E(d)E(d) denote the Euclidean group of dimension dd. For any element gE(d)g \in E(d), the pullback action on the space of Schwartz maps S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F), defined by (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx)(g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx), is injective. That is, for any gE(d)g \in E(d), the map ηgη\eta \mapsto g \cdot \eta is an injective function from S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F) to itself.

theorem

The Euclidean Group Action on Schwartz Maps is Surjective

Let dd be a natural number and gg be an element of the Euclidean group E(d)E(d). For the space of Schwartz maps S(Time×Space d,F)\mathcal{S}(\text{Time} \times \text{Space } d, F) mapping from space-time to a normed space FF, the pullback action of gg on a Schwartz map η\eta, defined by (gη)(tx)=η(g1tx)(g \cdot \eta)(tx) = \eta(g^{-1} \cdot tx), is surjective.
