Axiomatic Foundations of Galilean Quantum Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
A realistic axiomatic formulation of Galilean Quantum Field Theories is presented, from which the most important theorems of the theory can be deduced. In comparison with others formulations, the formal aspect has been improved by the use of certain mathematical theories, such as group theory and the theory of rigged Hilbert spaces. Our approach regards the fields as real things with symmetry properties. The general structure is analyzed and contrasted with relativistic theories.

متن کاملSteps towards the axiomatic foundations of the relativistic quan- tum field theory: Spin-statistics, commutation relations and CPT theorems
A realistic physical axiomatic approach of the relativistic quantum field theory is presented. Following the action principle of Schwinger, a covariant and general formulation is obtained. The correspondence principle is not invoked and the commutation relations are not postulated but deduced. The most important theorems such as spin-statistics, and CPT are proved. The theory is constructed for...
متن کاملHow to build a non-spreading wave packet in quantum mechanics
Quantum mechanics asserts that a wave packet must inevitably spread as time progresses since the dispersion relation for the quantum waves is assumed to be quadratic in the momentum k. However, this assumption does not consider the standard frequency Doppler shift formula of Galilean relativity. In this article a non-dispersive wave packet is constructed by appropriately considering the transfo...
متن کاملA Disconnect : Limitations of the Axiomatic Method in Physics
This paper presents the phenomenon of disconnect in the axiomatic approach to theories of Physics, a phenomenon which appears due to the insistence on axioms which have a physical meaning. This insistence introduces a restriction which is foreign to the abstract nature of axiomatic systems as such. Consequently, it turns out to introduce as well the mentioned disconnect. The axiomatic approach ...
متن کاملA Connection between Minkowski and Galilean Spacetimes in Quantum Mechanics
Relativistic quantum theories are equipped with a background Minkowski spacetime and non-relativistic quantum theories with a Galilean spacetime. Traditional investigations have distinguished their distinct spacetime structures and have examined ways in which relativistic theories become sufficiently like Galilean theories in a low velocity approximation or limit. A different way to look at the...
