A New Derivation of the CPT and Spin-Statistics Theorems in Non-Commutative Field Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
We propose an alternative axiomatic description for non-commutative field theories (NCFT) based on some ideas by Soloviev to nonlocal quantum fields. The local commutativity axiom is replaced by the weaker condition that the fields commute at sufficiently large spatial separations, called asymptotic commutativity, formulated in terms of the theory of analytic functionals. The question of a possible violation of the CPT and Spin-Statistics theorems caused by nonlocality of the commutation relations [x̂μ, x̂ν ] = iθμν is investigated. In spite of this inherent nonlocality, we show that the modification aforementioned is sufficient to ensure the validity of these theorems for NCFT. We restrict ourselves to the simplest model of a scalar field in the case of only space-space non-commutativity.

Non-Commutative Quantum Field Theories in Terms of Tempered Ultrahyperfunctions
In the present paper, we wish to consider the quantum field theory on non-commutative spacetimes in terms of the tempered ultrahyperfunctions of Sebastião e Silva corresponding to a convex cone, within the framework formulated by Wightman. Tempered ultrahyperfunctions are representable by means of holomorphic functions. As is well known there are certain advantages to be gained from the represe...

In the present paper, we intent to enlarge the axiomatic framework of non-commutative quantum field theories (QFT).

متن کاملORI GIN AL PA PER CPT Invariance, the Spin-Statistics Connection, and the Ontology of Relativistic Quantum Field Theories
CPT invariance and the spin-statistics connection are typically taken to be essential properties in relativistic quantum field theories (RQFTs), insofar as the CPT and Spin-Statistics theorems entail that any state of a physical system characterized by an RQFT must possess these properties. Moreover, in the physics literature, they are typically taken to be properties of particles. But there is...
متن کاملAxiomatic formulations of nonlocal and noncommutative field theories
We analyze functional analytic aspects of axiomatic formulations of nonlocal and noncommutative quantum field theories. In particular, we completely clarify the relation between the asymptotic commutativity condition, which ensures the CPT symmetry and the standard spin-statistics relation for nonlocal fields, and the regularity properties of the retarded Green’s functions in momentum space tha...
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...
