Clustering, Recovery, and Locality in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory: Quantitative Bounds via Split Inclusions and Modular Theory
Earlier deposit preserved without the current AIRR screening. Not peer reviewed. Screening record
We prove that exponential clustering of vacuum correlations enables approximate reconstruction of global quasi-free states from local data in algebraic quantum field theory. The reconstruction is an explicit Gaussian procedure — conditional reattachment through the vacuum's regression structure — which coincides with the output of the Petz recovery map when the reference state factorizes across the split, but not in general: for a pure reference the Petz map returns the reference itself for every input, and version 1 of this paper incorrectly identified the two. For quasi-free states of a massive scalar field satisfying natural constraints, including a symplectic-gap (mixedness) condition on the reference state and an admissibility (no-steering) condition on the split geometry, we prove 1 - F <= C(d,kappa) / [eps^2 (1 - (eta_vac + delta)^2/eps)^2] * ||Delta12||_HS^2, where Delta12 is the reconstruction error, eta_vac <~ e^(-mr) is the vacuum correlation factor, delta controls cross-correlation perturbations, and C(d,kappa) = C_k(6+C_k)/(16 min(c1,c2)^2) with C_k = (1+kappa)^2/(kappa(kappa+2)) determined by the symplectic gap kappa > 0. A finite-rank corollary with explicit factor 2n recovers physical intuition. All counterexamples and bounds are verified by an exact truncated-Fock numerical suite distributed with the paper. Applications to holographic reconstruction are discussed.Version 2 makes three corrections to v1: (i) the reconstruction map of v1's Proposition 2.14 is not the Petz map — its "marginal preservation" step fails for correlated references — and the main theorem is restated for the reconstruction procedure the proof actually controls; (ii) the simplified constant is corrected (3/8 to 7/16 in the strongly mixed limit); (iii) a symplectic-gap hypothesis is added to the Gaussian fidelity lemma, shown necessary by an explicit counterexample.
