The vacuum vortex operator on the Sobolev scale #
The gauge-fixed linearization L₀ of the vortex equations at the vacuum
(TauCeti.Vortex.vacuumOperator) is a first-order operator with constant real coefficients
acting on fields x = (b₁, b₂, p, q). This file extends L₀ and its formal adjoint L₀* to
fields whose four components are complex tempered distributions on ℂ, so that they act on
Mathlib's L² Sobolev spaces H^s (TemperedDistribution.MemSobolev s 2) for every real s.
The complex components are the complexification of the real fields: the coefficients of L₀ are
real, and real fields are the ones whose components are real distributions. A field lies in H^s
when each of its components does.
The Weitzenböck identities L₀* L₀ = L₀ L₀* = -Δ + 1 / 4 continue to hold on tempered
distributions. With the resolvent (-Δ + 1 / 4)⁻¹ of the Laplacian on tempered distributions
(TemperedDistribution.laplacianResolvent), they show that L₀ and L₀* are continuous linear
automorphisms of the space of tempered fields, with inverses L₀⁻¹ = L₀* (-Δ + 1 / 4)⁻¹ and
(L₀*)⁻¹ = L₀ (-Δ + 1 / 4)⁻¹. On the Sobolev scale, L₀ maps H^s to H^{s-1}, since it has
order one, while L₀⁻¹ maps H^{s-1} back to H^s, since the resolvent gains two derivatives and
L₀* loses one. Hence L₀ : H^s → H^{s-1} is bijective for every s, in particular
H^k → H^{k-1} for every integer k, and a tempered field x lies in H^s exactly when L₀ x
lies in H^{s-1}. On Schwartz fields the tempered operators agree with vacuumOperator and
vacuumAdjoint.
