Adds the Reeh–Schlieder theorem for Haag–Kastler nets in Minkowski spacetime, from blueprint to Lean to the reference manual.

Blueprint (§10.9, sec10/reeh-schlieder.tex)

  • Main theorem, hypothesis-free: if small translates of a diamond B₁ stay inside B, then π(𝔄_{B₁})Ω lies in the closure of π(𝔘(B))Ω. No additivity and no cyclicity are assumed.
  • Corollaries:
    • Ω cyclic for every nonempty diamond, under each of three hypotheses: cyclicity for the translation-generated algebras, the von Neumann form of weak additivity, or weak additivity;
    • the vacuum form, which needs only the implementation and spectrum conditions;
    • the separating form.
  • Proof route: analytic continuation in one complex variable along one future-timelike direction at a time, using per-direction positive energy, with no joint spectral measure.
  • New definitions: the translation-generated algebra 𝔄_B, weak additivity, and its von Neumann form. They are used as hypotheses and do not change HaagKastlerNet.
  • Removability node: the existing horizontal-line removability theorem gets a node, which the KMS strip-extension proof also cites.

Lean

  • Coverage: all 41 nodes are formalized and proved, and Physicslib4 builds with no sorry.
  • Files:
    • Physicslib4/AQFT/HaagKastler/ReehSchlieder/: Translations, CyclicSubspace, Correlations, Additivity;
    • Physicslib4/AQFT/PositiveEnergyHolomorphic.lean: spectral support, holomorphic extension under positive energy;
    • Physicslib4/Analysis/EdgeVanishing.lean: Schwarz reflection, vanishing on an edge.

Reference manual

  • New chapter, "The Reeh–Schlieder theorem", reviewed against the Lean and the blueprint.
  • Corrections elsewhere: passages saying the library does not prove Reeh–Schlieder are corrected. The appendix keeps it as unproved only in curved spacetime, where the axioms have no spectrum condition.

Checks

  • lake build passes.
  • The manual and the blueprint PDF and web builds pass.
  • The present-tense wording check passes.

A main theorem with no additivity hypothesis: if small translates of a
diamond B₁ stay inside B, then π(𝔄_{B₁})Ω lies in the closure of
π(𝔘(B))Ω. Corollaries give cyclicity of Ω for every nonempty diamond
under cyclicity for the translation-generated algebras, the von Neumann
form of weak additivity, and weak additivity, plus the vacuum-state form
and separation. The proof continues analytically in one variable along
one future-timelike direction at a time.

The horizontal-line removability theorem, already proved in Lean, gets
a blueprint node, cited also by the KMS strip-extension proof.

All 41 nodes are formalized and proved; the library builds with no sorry.

- Analytic preliminaries: spectral support of positive operators,
  holomorphic extension under positive energy (PositiveEnergyHolomorphic),
  and vanishing on an edge via Schwarz reflection (EdgeVanishing).
- Translations, the cyclic subspace and correlation functions
  (ReehSchlieder/Translations, CyclicSubspace, Correlations).
- The translation-generated algebra, weak additivity and its von Neumann
  form, the hypothesis-free Reeh–Schlieder theorem, and the cyclicity,
  vacuum and separating corollaries (ReehSchlieder/Additivity).

crllr:reeh-schlieder-vacuum assumes the implementation and spectrum
conditions of a vacuum state for (π, Ω, U), without the state itself.
reeh_schlieder_cyclic_of_vacuum drops the unused ω, hω and hrep, so it
applies to the witnessing data of any vacuum state.

The chapter covers the hypothesis-free theorem, the cyclicity corollaries
under the three additivity hypotheses, the vacuum and separating forms,
and the one-direction analytic continuation route. Other chapters link
to it; the appendix keeps only curved spacetime as unproved, and the
Haag–Kastler, curved and conventions chapters are corrected accordingly.
