Peirce decomposition

i. Overview

For a Jordan projection `p` every observable splits into the Peirce components where `L_p` acts by `1`, `½` and `0`. The quadratic representation `U_p` is the idempotent projection onto the `1`-component.

theorem

Peirce polynomial identity 2Lp3−3Lp2+Lp=02 L_p^3 - 3 L_p^2 + L_p = 0 for a Jordan projection pp

In a commutative Jordan algebra EE, let pp be a Jordan projection, meaning it is idempotent (p2=pp^2 = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, the operator LpL_p (defined by Lp(x)=p∘xL_p(x) = p \circ x, where ∘\circ is the Jordan product) satisfies the Peirce polynomial 2Lp3−3Lp2+Lp=02 L_p^3 - 3 L_p^2 + L_p = 0. Specifically, the following identity holds: 2(p∘(p∘(p∘x)))−3(p∘(p∘x))+p∘x=02 (p \circ (p \circ (p \circ x))) - 3 (p \circ (p \circ x)) + p \circ x = 0 This identity is a specialization of the polarized Jordan identity and ensures that the quadratic representation UpU_p acts as an idempotent compression.

definition

Peirce-1 subspace of pp (where p∘x=xp \circ x = x)

Given an element pp in a Jordan algebra EE over R\mathbb{R}, the Peirce-1 subspace peirceOne(p)\text{peirceOne}(p) is the R\mathbb{R}-submodule of EE consisting of all elements x∈Ex \in E that are fixed under Jordan multiplication by pp, such that p∘x=xp \circ x = x.

theorem

x∈peirceOne(p)  ⟺  p∘x=xx \in \text{peirceOne}(p) \iff p \circ x = x

Let EE be a Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. For any elements p,x∈Ep, x \in E, xx belongs to the Peirce-1 subspace of pp (denoted peirceOne(p)\text{peirceOne}(p)) if and only if the Jordan product of pp and xx satisfies p∘x=xp \circ x = x. This characterizes membership in the subspace as satisfying the eigenvalue-one equation for the operator LpL_p.

definition

Peirce-0 subspace of a Jordan projection pp

Given a Jordan projection pp in a Jordan algebra EE over R\mathbb{R}, the Peirce-0 subspace (or eigenspace) is the R\mathbb{R}-submodule of EE consisting of all elements x∈Ex \in E such that the Jordan product p∘x=0p \circ x = 0.

theorem

x∈Peirce0(p)  ⟺  p∘x=0x \in \text{Peirce}_0(p) \iff p \circ x = 0

Let EE be a real Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection. An element x∈Ex \in E belongs to the Peirce-0 subspace of pp if and only if p∘x=0p \circ x = 0, where ∘\circ denotes the Jordan product.

definition

Peirce-1/2 eigenspace of a projection pp

For a Jordan projection pp in a real Jordan algebra EE, `peirceHalf p` is the R\mathbb{R}-submodule of EE corresponding to the 12\frac{1}{2}-eigenspace of the Jordan multiplication operator LpL_p. It consists of all elements x∈Ex \in E satisfying the condition 2(p∘x)=x2(p \circ x) = x, where ∘\circ denotes the Jordan product.

theorem

x∈peirceHalf p  ⟺  2(p∘x)=xx \in \text{peirceHalf } p \iff 2(p \circ x) = x

Let EE be a real Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection. An element x∈Ex \in E belongs to the Peirce-1/21/2 subspace of pp if and only if 2(p∘x)=x2(p \circ x) = x, where ∘\circ denotes the Jordan product.

theorem

The Peirce-00 and Peirce-1/21/2 subspaces are disjoint

For a Jordan projection pp in a real Jordan algebra EE, the Peirce-00 subspace (the 00-eigenspace of the Jordan multiplication operator LpL_p) and the Peirce-1/21/2 subspace (the 12\frac{1}{2}-eigenspace of LpL_p) are disjoint. That is, their intersection is {0}\{0\}.

theorem

Peirce-0 and Peirce-1 subspaces are disjoint

For any Jordan projection pp in a Jordan algebra EE over R\mathbb{R}, the Peirce-0 subspace {x∈E∣p∘x=0}\{x \in E \mid p \circ x = 0\} and the Peirce-1 subspace {x∈E∣p∘x=x}\{x \in E \mid p \circ x = x\} are disjoint.

theorem

The Peirce-1/21/2 and Peirce-11 subspaces of a Jordan projection are disjoint.

Let EE be a real Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection. The Peirce-1/21/2 subspace of pp, consisting of all x∈Ex \in E such that p∘x=12xp \circ x = \frac{1}{2}x, and the Peirce-11 subspace of pp, consisting of all x∈Ex \in E such that p∘x=xp \circ x = x, are disjoint. That is, their intersection contains only the zero element: peirceHalf(p)∩peirceOne(p)={0}\text{peirceHalf}(p) \cap \text{peirceOne}(p) = \{0\}

definition

Peirce-0 component of xx relative to pp

In a Jordan algebra EE, for a Jordan projection pp and an element xx, the Peirce-0 component of xx relative to pp is the projection of xx onto the eigenspace of the left multiplication operator LpL_p (where Lp(x)=p⋅xL_p(x) = p \cdot x) corresponding to the eigenvalue 00. It is calculated using the formula x−3(p⋅x)+2(p⋅(p⋅x))x - 3(p \cdot x) + 2(p \cdot (p \cdot x)).

definition

Peirce 1/21/2-component of xx relative to pp

Given a Jordan projection pp and an element xx in a Jordan algebra EE, this function computes the Peirce 1/21/2-component of xx relative to pp. This component corresponds to the projection of xx onto the eigenspace of the multiplication operator Lp(y)=p⋅yL_p(y) = p \cdot y associated with the eigenvalue 1/21/2.

theorem

The Jordan projection pp annihilates its Peirce-0 component (p⋅x0=0p \cdot x_0 = 0)

In a commutative Jordan algebra EE, let p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (an idempotent element satisfying p2=pp^2 = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, let x0x_0 denote the Peirce-0 component of xx relative to pp, which is the projection of xx onto the eigenspace of the multiplication operator LpL_p corresponding to the eigenvalue 00. Then, the Jordan product of pp and x0x_0 is zero: p⋅x0=0 p \cdot x_0 = 0

theorem

Peirce 00-component x0∈Peirce0(p)x_0 \in \text{Peirce}_0(p)

In a commutative Jordan algebra EE, let p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (an idempotent element satisfying p⋅p=pp \cdot p = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, let x0x_0 denote the Peirce 00-component of xx relative to pp. Then x0x_0 belongs to the Peirce 00-subspace of pp, which is the submodule of EE consisting of all elements yy such that p⋅y=0p \cdot y = 0.

theorem

2(p⋅x1/2)=x1/22(p \cdot x_{1/2}) = x_{1/2}

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (i.e., an idempotent satisfying p⋅p=pp \cdot p = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, let x1/2x_{1/2} denote the Peirce 1/21/2-component of xx relative to pp. This component is an eigenvector of the multiplication operator Lp(y)=p⋅yL_p(y) = p \cdot y with eigenvalue 1/21/2, satisfying the identity: 2(p⋅x1/2)=x1/2 2(p \cdot x_{1/2}) = x_{1/2} where ⋅\cdot denotes the Jordan product.

theorem

x1/2∈Peirce1/2(p)x_{1/2} \in \text{Peirce}_{1/2}(p)

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (i.e., p∘p=pp \circ p = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, the Peirce 1/21/2-component of xx relative to pp (denoted x1/2x_{1/2}) belongs to the Peirce 1/21/2-subspace of pp, which is defined as the eigenspace of the Jordan multiplication operator Lp(y)=p∘yL_p(y) = p \circ y with eigenvalue 1/21/2.

theorem

Peirce Decomposition x=x0+x1/2+Upxx = x_0 + x_{1/2} + U_p x

Let EE be a Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (an idempotent satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, xx can be decomposed into its Peirce components relative to pp: x0+x1/2+Upx=x x_0 + x_{1/2} + U_p x = x where x0x_0 is the Peirce 00-component, x1/2x_{1/2} is the Peirce 1/21/2-component, and UpxU_p x is the quadratic representation of pp acting on xx (which constitutes the Peirce 11-component). These summands correspond to the eigenspaces of the Jordan multiplication operator LpL_p with eigenvalues 0,1/20, 1/2, and 11 respectively.

theorem

p∘Up(x)=Up(x)p \circ U_p(x) = U_p(x) for Jordan projections pp

Let EE be a Jordan algebra and p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p). For any element x∈Ex \in E, the Jordan product of pp and the quadratic representation UpxU_p x satisfies: p∘Up(x)=Up(x) p \circ U_p(x) = U_p(x) Here, UpU_p is the quadratic representation defined by Up=2Lp2−Lp2U_p = 2L_p^2 - L_{p^2}, where LpL_p is the Jordan multiplication operator Lp(y)=p∘yL_p(y) = p \circ y. This identity states that the image of the quadratic representation of a projection pp lies in the Peirce-1 eigenspace of pp.

theorem

UpxU_p x belongs to the Peirce-1 subspace of pp

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. If p∈Ep \in E is a Jordan projection (satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p), then for any x∈Ex \in E, the quadratic representation Up(x)U_p(x) belongs to the Peirce-1 subspace of pp. The Peirce-1 subspace is the R\mathbb{R}-submodule of EE consisting of all elements yy such that p∘y=yp \circ y = y.

theorem

Upx=xU_p x = x if p∘x=xp \circ x = x

Let EE be a Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. If p∈Ep \in E is a Jordan projection (satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p) and x∈Ex \in E is a Peirce-1 element with respect to pp—meaning it satisfies the condition p∘x=xp \circ x = x—then the quadratic representation UpU_p fixes xx, such that Upx=xU_p x = x. Here, the quadratic representation is defined as Up=2Lp2−Lp2U_p = 2L_p^2 - L_{p^2}, where LpL_p is the Jordan multiplication operator.

theorem

The range of the quadratic representation UpU_p is the Peirce-1 subspace for a Jordan projection pp

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R} and let p∈Ep \in E be a Jordan projection (i.e., p∘p=pp \circ p = p). Let UpU_p be the quadratic representation of pp, defined as Up=2Lp2−Lp2U_p = 2L_p^2 - L_{p^2}, where LpL_p is the Jordan multiplication operator. Then the range of UpU_p is equal to the Peirce-1 subspace of pp, which is the set of all elements x∈Ex \in E such that p∘x=xp \circ x = x.

theorem

The quadratic representation UpU_p of a Jordan projection pp is idempotent (Up∘Up=UpU_p \circ U_p = U_p)

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. If p∈Ep \in E is a Jordan projection (satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p), then the quadratic representation Up:E→EU_p: E \to E is idempotent. That is, for any x∈Ex \in E, Up(Up(x))=Up(x)U_p(U_p(x)) = U_p(x), or equivalently, Up∘Up=UpU_p \circ U_p = U_p.

theorem

Upx=xU_p x = x for x∈range⁡(Up)x \in \operatorname{range}(U_p)

In a commutative Jordan algebra EE, let pp be a Jordan projection (an element satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p). Let Up:E→EU_p: E \to E be the quadratic representation of pp. For any element x∈Ex \in E that lies in the range of UpU_p (that is, x=Up(y)x = U_p(y) for some y∈Ey \in E), it holds that Up(x)=xU_p(x) = x.

theorem

Up(x−Upx)=0U_p(x - U_p x) = 0 for Jordan projections pp

Let EE be a commutative Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. If p∈Ep \in E is a Jordan projection (satisfying p∘p=pp \circ p = p), then for any x∈Ex \in E, the residual element x−Upxx - U_p x lies in the kernel of the quadratic representation UpU_p. That is, Up(x−Upx)=0U_p(x - U_p x) = 0, where UpU_p is the quadratic representation defined by Up=2Lp2−Lp2U_p = 2L_p^2 - L_{p^2}.

theorem

x=Upx+(x−Upx)x = U_p x + (x - U_p x)

Let EE be a Jordan algebra over R\mathbb{R}. For any elements p,x∈Ep, x \in E, it holds that Upx+(x−Upx)=xU_p x + (x - U_p x) = x, where UpU_p is the quadratic representation of pp defined as Up=2Lp2−Lp2U_p = 2L_p^2 - L_{p^2}.
