WStarAlgebras have Unique Preduals
This is the blueprint of LeanOA, a formalization of
operator algebra theory in Lean 4, built on top of
Mathlib. Its target is the theorem that a
W^*-algebra has a unique predual, along with the C^*/W^*-algebra, locally convex,
and ultraweak-topology infrastructure that goal needs.
The numbering of the results below follows Sakai's C*-Algebras and W*-Algebras.
The final chapter collects parts of Sakai's development (unitality of W^*-algebras, and the
Mackey and strong topologies) that the proof of the main theorem does not need.
