Institute for Mathematical Physics Charged Sectors, Spin and Statistics in Quantum Field Theory on Curved Spacetimes Charged Sectors, Spin and Statistics in Quantum Field Theory on Curved Spacetimes
The rst part of this paper extends the Doplicher-Haag-Roberts theory of superselection sectors to quantum eld theory on arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes. The statistics of a superselection sector may be deened as in at spacetime and each charge has a conjugate charge when the spacetime possesses non-compact Cauchy surfaces. In this case, the eld net and the gauge group can be constructe...
متن کاملSolving quantum field theories via curved spacetimes
© 2009 American Institute of Physics, S-0031-9228-0901-010-2 Eleven years ago several theorists proposed a remarkable correspondence between two seemingly different kinds of theories.1 It is often called a duality because it is an equivalence between two different, “dual” descriptions of the same physics. On one side of the duality are certain quantum field theories (QFTs)—for example, Yang–Mil...
متن کاملThe Hadamard Condition and Kay's Conjecture in (axiomatic) Quantum Field Theory on Curved Space-Time
We interpret the global Hadamard condition for a two-point distribution of a Klein-Gordon neutral scalar quantum field model on an arbitrary globally hyperbolic curved space-time in terms of distinguished parametrices (of Duistermaat and Hörmander) and a wave front set spectrum condition. Microlocal results by Duistermaat and Hörmander such as the propagation of singularities theorem and the un...
متن کاملCharged Sectors, Spin and Statistics in Quantum Field Theory on Curved Spacetimes
The first part of this paper extends the Doplicher-Haag-Roberts theory of superselection sectors to quantum field theory on arbitrary globally hyperbolic spacetimes. The statistics of a superselection sector may be defined as in flat spacetime and each charge has a conjugate charge when the spacetime possesses non-compact Cauchy surfaces. In this case, the field net and the gauge group can be c...
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...
