Supersymmetric Quantum Field Theory: Indefinite Metric
We study the recently introduced Krein structure (indefinite metric) of the N = 1 supersymmetry and present the way into physical applications outside path integral methods. From the mathematical point of view some perspectives are mentioned at the end of the paper.
متن کاملIndefinite-metric quantum field theory and operator algebra
It is often inevitable to introduce an indefinite-metric space in quantum field theory. There is a problem to determine the metric structure of a given representation space of field operators. We show the systematic method to determine such indefinite-metric explicitly. At first, we choose a new involution ∗ of field operators instead of the original involution † such that there is a Hilbert sp...
متن کاملNon-locality in quantum field theory due to general relativity
We show that general relativity coupled to a quantum field theory generically leads to non-local effects in the matter sector. These non-local effects can be described by non-local higher dimensional operators which remarkably have an approximate shift symmetry. When applied to inflationary models, our results imply that small nonGaussianities are a generic feature of models based on general re...
متن کاملRelativity and Quantum Field Theory
Relativistic quantum field theories (RQFTs) are invariant under the action of the Poincaré group, the symmetry group of Minkowski spacetime. Non-relativistic quantum field theories (NQFTs) are invariant under the action of the symmetry group of a classical spacetime; i.e., a spacetime that minimally admits absolute spatial and temporal metrics. This essay is concerned with cashing out two impli...
متن کاملIs Pseudo-Hermitian Quantum Mechanics an Indefinite-Metric Quantum Theory?
With a view to eliminate an important misconception in some recent publications, we give a brief review of the notion of a pseudo-Hermitian operator, outline pseudo-Hermitian quantum mechanics, and discuss its basic difference with the indefinite-metric quantum mechanics. In particular, we show that the answer to the question posed in the title is a definite No.
