Translocality and a Duality Principle in Generally Covariant Quantum Field Theory
It is argued that the formal rules of correspondence between local observation procedures and observables do not exhaust the entire physical content of generally covariant quantum field theory. This result is obtained by expressing the distinguishing features of the local kinematical structure of quantum field theory in the generally covariant context in terms of a translocal structure which ca...
متن کاملOutline of a Generally Covariant Quantum Field Theory and a Quantum Theory of Gravity
We study a tentative generally covariant quantum field theory, denoted the T-Theory, as a tool to investigate the consistency of quantum general relativity. The theory describes the gravitational field and a minimally coupled scalar field; it is based on the loop representation, and on a certain number of quantization choices. Four-dimensional diffeomorphism-invariant quantum transition probabi...
متن کاملConformal generally covariant quantum field theory: The scalar field and its Wick products
In this paper we generalize the construction of generally covariant quantum theories given in [BFV03] to encompass the conformal covariant case. After introducing the abstract framework, we discuss the massless conformally coupled Klein Gordon field theory, showing that its quantization corresponds to a functor between two certain categories. At the abstract level, the ordinary fields, could be...
متن کاملRestricted Haag duality in locally covariant quantum field theories
We investigate a new property of nets of local algebras over 4dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetimes, called restricted Haag duality. This property consists in the usual Haag duality for the restriction of the net to the causal complement of a point p of the spacetime. Restricted Haag duality implies Haag duality and local definiteness. Our main result is that, if the theory is locally cova...
متن کاملPunctured Haag duality in locally covariant quantum field theories
We investigate a new property of nets of local algebras over 4dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetimes, called punctured Haag duality. This property consists in the usual Haag duality for the restriction of the net to the causal complement of a point p of the spacetime. Punctured Haag duality implies Haag duality and local definiteness. Our main result is that, if we deal with a locally covar...
