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 Global Conformally Invariant Quantum Field Theory
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.
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 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 کاملConformal invariance and rationality in an even dimensional quantum field theory
Invariance under finite conformal transformations in Minkowski space and the Wightman axioms imply strong locality (Huygens principle) and rationality of correlation functions, thus providing an extension of the concept of vertex algebra to higher dimensions. Gibbs (finite temperature) expectation values appear as elliptic functions in the conformal time. We survey and further pursue our progra...
متن کاملVertex (Lie) algebras in higher dimensions
Vertex algebras provide an axiomatic algebraic description of the operator product expansion (OPE) of chiral fields in 2-dimensional conformal field theory. Vertex Lie algebras (= Lie conformal algebras) encode the singular part of the OPE, or, equivalently, the commutators of chiral fields. We discuss generalizations of vertex algebras and vertex Lie algebras, which are relevant for higher-dim...
