Toward a Finite-dimensional Formulation of Quantum Field Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
Rules of quantization and equations of motion for a finite-dimensional formulation of quantum field theory are proposed which fulfill the following properties: (a) Both the rules of quantization and the equations of motion are covariant; (b) the equations of evolution are second order in derivatives and first order in derivatives of the spacetime coordinates; and (c) these rules of quantization and equations of motion lead to the usual (canonical) rules of quantization and the (Schrodinger) equation of motion of quantum mechanics in the particular case of mechanical systems. We also comment briefly on further steps to fully develop a satisfactory quantum field theory and the difficuties which may be encountered when doing so.

Hygrothermal Analysis of Laminated Composite Plates by Using Efficient Higher Order Shear Deformation Theory
Hygrothermal analysis of laminated composite plates has been done by using an efficient higher order shear deformation theory. The stress field derived from hygrothermal fields must be consistent with total strain field in this type of analysis. In the present formulation, the plate model has been implemented with a computationally efficient C0 finite element developed by using consistent strai...

متن کامل0 Field Theory as a Matrix Model
A new formulation of four dimensional quantum field theories, such as scalar field theory, is proposed as a large n limit of a special n × n matrix model. Our reduction scheme works beyond planar approximation and applies for QFT with finite number of fields. It uses quenched coordinates instead of quenched momenta of the old Eguchi-Kawai reduction known to yield correctly only the planar secto...
متن کاملA New Formulation of a 1 + 1 Dimensional Field Theory Constrained to a Box
We consider a 1 + 1 dimensional field theory constrained to a finite box of length L. Traditionally, calculations in a box are done by replacing the integrals over the spatial momenta by discrete sums and then evaluating sums and doing analytic continuations. We show that it is also possible to do such calculations using an analogy to finite temperature field theory. We develop a formalism that...

We consider a 1 + 1 dimensional field theory constrained to a finite box of length L. Traditionally, calculations in a box are done by replacing the in-tegrals over the spatial momenta by discrete sums and then evaluating sums and doing analytic continuations. We show that it is also possible to do such calculations using an analogy to finite temperature field theory. We develop a formalism tha...
