چکیده
We propose an extension of the definition of vertex algebras in arbitrary space–time dimensions together with their basic structure theory. An one-to-one correspondence between these vertex algebras and axiomatic quantum field theory (QFT) with global conformal invariance (GCI) is constructed.

Vertex Algebras in Higher Dimensions and Globally Conformal Invariant Quantum Field Theory

متن کاملJacobi Identity for Vertex Algebras in Higher Dimensions
Vertex algebras in higher dimensions provide an algebraic framework for investigating axiomatic quantum field theory with global conformal invariance. We develop further the theory of such vertex algebras by introducing formal calculus techniques and investigating the notion of polylocal fields. We derive a Jacobi identity which together with the vacuum axiom can be taken as an equivalent defin...
متن کاملConstructing models of vertex algebras in higher dimensions
Vertex algebras in higher dimensions correspond to models of Quantum Field Theory (Wightman axioms) with Global Conformal Invariance. We review how such a vertex algebra can be generated from a collection of local fields, or from a vertex Lie algebra. The one-dimensional restriction of a vertex algebra in higher dimensions to a time-like line gives a chiral vertex algebra endowed with an action...
متن کاملOn Quantum Field Theories
We derive unitarity restrictions on the scaling dimensions of primary quantum operators in a superconformal quantum field theory, in d =3, 4, 5, 6. 1. Introduction Whereas classical massless field theories are often conformally invariant, the same is rarely true of their quantum counterparts. To define a quantum field theory, you need to specify both a Lagrangian and a cutoff. The cutoff introd...

We study the conformally invariant quantum field theory in spaces of even dimension D ≥ 4. The conformal transformations of current j µ and energy-momentum tensor T µν are examined. It is shown that the set of conformal transformations of particular kind corresponds to the canonical (unlike anomalous) dimensions l j = D − 1 and l T = D of those fields. These transformations cannot be derived by...
