Abstract We show that linear Hermitian supplementary conditions can never be imposed in a representation associated with a regular state on the C *-algebra of the CCRs. Nevertheless, there is a well-defined method for imposing the constraints in an abstract C *-framework, which yields as its final physical algebra a CCR C *-algebra, on which one can again require its physical states to be regular. These states derive from states on the original C *-algebra which are ‘regular up to nonphysical quantities’.
