Abstract

We consider how the outputs of the Kadison transitivity theorem and Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction may be obtained in families when the initial data are varied. More precisely, for the Kadison transitivity theorem, we prove that for any nonzero irreducible representation (H,π)(\mathcal{H}, \pi) of a CC^*-algebra A\mathfrak{A} and nNn \in \mathbb{N}, there exists a continuous function A:XAA:X \rightarrow \mathfrak{A} such that π(A(x,y))xi=yi\pi(A(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}))x_i = y_i for all i{1,,n}i \in \{1, \ldots, n\}, where XX is the set of pairs of nn-tuples (x,y)Hn×Hn(\mathbf{x}, \mathbf{y}) \in \mathcal{H}^n \times \mathcal{H}^n such that the components of x\mathbf{x} are linearly independent. Versions of this result where AA maps into the self-adjoint or unitary elements of A\mathfrak{A} are also presented. Regarding the Gelfand-Naimark-Segal construction, we prove that given a topological CC^*-algebra fiber bundle p:AYp:\mathfrak{A} \rightarrow Y, one may construct a topological fiber bundle P(A)Y\mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) \rightarrow Y whose fiber over yYy \in Y is the space of pure states of Ay\mathfrak{A}_y (with the norm topology), as well as bundles HP(A)\mathscr{H} \rightarrow \mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) and NP(A)\mathscr{N} \rightarrow \mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) whose fibers Hω\mathscr{H}_\omega and Nω\mathscr{N}_\omega over ωP(A)\omega \in \mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) are the GNS Hilbert space and closed left ideal, respectively, corresponding to ω\omega. When p:AYp:\mathfrak{A} \rightarrow Y is a smooth fiber bundle, we show that P(A)Y\mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) \rightarrow Y and HP(A)\mathscr{H}\rightarrow \mathscr{P}(\mathfrak{A}) are also smooth fiber bundles; this involves proving that the group of *-automorphisms of a CC^*-algebra is a Banach-Lie group. In service of these results, we review the geometry of the topology and pure state space. A simple non-interacting quantum spin system is provided as an example.
