Steps towards the axiomatic foundations of the relativistic quan- tum field theory: Spin-statistics, commutation relations and CPT theorems
نویسنده
چکیده
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 form the notion of basic field and system of basic fields. In comparison with others formulations, in our realistic approach fields are regarded as real things with symmetry properties. Finally, the general structure is contrasted with other formulations.

A New Derivation of the CPT and Spin-Statistics Theorems in Non-Commutative Field Theories
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 poss...
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 کامل20 03 Why Is Cpt Fundamental ?
G. Lüders and W. Pauli proved the CPT theorem based on Lagrangian quantum field theory almost half a century ago. R. Jost gave a more general proof based on " axiomatic " field theory nearly as long ago. The axiomatic point of view has two advantages over the Lagrangian one. First, the ax-iomatic point of view makes clear why CPT is fundamental–because it is intimately related to Lorentz invari...
متن کاملAxiomatic Foundations of Galilean Quantum Field Theories
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 p...
