Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime
We review the mathematically rigorous formulation of the quantum theory of a linear field propagating in a globally hyperbolic spacetime. This formulation is accomplished via the algebraic approach, which, in essence, simultaneously admits all states in all possible (unitarily inequivalent) Hilbert space constructions. The physically nonsingular states are restricted by the requirement that the...
متن کامل-expansion in Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime
We discuss -expansion in curved space-time for asymptotically free and asymptotically non-free theories. The existence of stable and unstable xed points is investigated for f 4 theory and SU(2) gauge theory. It is shown that -expansion maybe compatible with asymptotic freedom on special solutions of the RG equations in a special case (supersymmetric theory). Using -expansion RG technique the e ...
متن کاملǫ-EXPANSION IN QUANTUM FIELD THEORY IN CURVED SPACETIME
We discuss ǫ-expansion in curved space-time for asymptotically free and asymptotically non-free theories. The existence of stable and unstable fixed points is investigated for fφ4 theory and SU(2) gauge theory. It is shown that ǫ-expansion maybe compatible with asymptotic freedom on special solutions of the RG equations in a special case (supersymmetric theory). Using ǫ-expansion RG technique t...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory on Curved Backgrounds. II. Spacetime Symmetries
We study space-time symmetries in scalar quantum field theory on an arbitrary static space-time. We first consider Euclidean quantum field theory, and show that the isometry group is generated by one-parameter subgroups which have either selfadjoint or unitary quantizations. We then show that the self-adjoint semigroups thus constructed can be analytically continued to one-parameter unitary gro...
متن کاملAxiomatic Topological Quantum Field Theory
This dissertation provides an introduction to the ideas employed in topological quantum field theory. We illustrate how the field began by considering knot invariants of three-manifolds and demonstrating the consequences of defining such a theory axiomatically. The ideas of category theory are introduced and we show that what we are actually concerned with are symmetric monoidal functors from t...
