Scattering Theory for Quantum Fields with Indefinite Metric

چکیده
In this work, we discuss the scattering theory of local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric. Since the results of Haag–Ruelle theory do not carry over to the case of indefinite metric [4], we propose an axiomatic framework for the construction of inand outstates, such that the LSZ asymptotic condition can be derived from the assumptions. The central mathematical object for this construction is the collection of mixed vacuum expectation values of local, inand outfields, called the “form factor functional”, which is required to fulfill a Hilbert space structure condition. Given a scattering matrix with polynomial transfer functions, we then construct interpolating, local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric, which fit into the given scattering framework.

Remarks on some new Models of Interacting Quantum Fields with Indefinite Metric
We study quantum field models in indefinite metric. We introduce the modified Wightman axioms of Morchio and Strocchi as a general framework of indefinite metric quantum field theory (QFT) and present concrete interacting relativistic models obtained by analytical continuation from some stochastic processes with Euclidean invariance. As a first step towards scattering theory in indefinite metri...
متن کاملScattering theory for dipole quantum fields
In the present work a general frame for the scattering theory of local, relativistic dipole quantum fields is presented and some models of interacting dipole fields are considered, i.e. local, relativistic quantum fields with indefinite metric which asymptotically do not converge to free fields, but to free dipole fields. Also, we give explicit formulae for the (nontrivial) scattering matrix of...
متن کاملAn indefinite metric model for interacting quantum fields with non-stationary background gravitation
We consider a relativistic ansatz for the vacuum expectation values (VEVs) of a quantum field on a globally hyperbolic space-time which is motivated by certain Euclidean field theories. The Yang-Feldman asymptotic condition w.r.t. a ”in”-field in a quasi-free representation of the canonic commutation relations (CCR) leads to a solution of this ansatz for the VEVs. A GNS-like construction on a n...

متن کاملNontrivial models of quantum fields with indefinite metric
The non perturbative construction of quantum field models with nontrivial scattering in arbitrary dimension d of the underlying Minkowski space-time is much more simple in the framework of quantum field theory with indefinite metric than in the positive metric case. In particular, there exist a number of solutions in the physical dimension d = 4, where up to now no positive metric solutions are...
