Observables in Modular Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
The observables of modular quantisation are studied from the point of view of locality. Such a study allows identification of possible Hamiltonians and also enables us to generalize the fundamental bilinear commutation relations of parafield theory. A comparison of modular field theory with a normal U(m) gauge theory, begun in an earlier publication, is completed with the conclusion that the two are equivalent except that the former has certain restrictions on its observables.

Vacuum Fluctuations, Geometric Modular Action and Relativistic Quantum Information Theory
A summary of some lines of ideas leading to model-independent frameworks of relativistic quantum field theory is given. It is followed by a discussion of the ReehSchlieder theorem and geometric modular action of Tomita-Takesaki modular objects associated with the quantum field vacuum state and certain algebras of observables. The distillability concept, which is significant in specifying useful...
متن کاملCluster Estimates for Modular Structures
The cluster theorem of relativistic quantum field theory expresses the decay of correlations between clusters of local observables as the space-like separation between clusters increases. In 3 + 1 dimensions the correlations of the vacuum expectation values of local observables decrease at least like δ if δ is their space-like separation [AHR]. In the presence of a massgap one even finds an exp...
متن کاملApplication of Tomita-Takesaki theory in algebraic euclidean field theories
The construction of the known interacting quantum field theory models is mostly based on euclidean techniques. The expectation values of interesting quantities are usually given in terms of euclidean correlation functions from which one should be able to extract information about the behavior of the correlation functions of the Minkowskian counterpart. We think that the C*-algebraic approach to...
متن کاملModular Nuclearity and Localization
Within the algebraic setting of quantum field theory, a condition is given which implies that the intersection of algebras generated by field operators localized in wedge–shaped regions of two–dimensional Minkowski space is non–trivial; in particular, there exist compactly localized operators in such theories which can be interpreted as local observables. The condition is based on spectral (nuc...
متن کاملGroup Cohomology, Modular Theory And Space-Time Symmetries
The Bisognano-Wichmann property on the geometric behavior of the modular group of the von Neumann algebras of local observables associated to wedge regions in Quantum Field Theory is shown to provide an intrinsic suucient criterion for the existence of a covariant action of the (universal covering of) the Poincar e group. In particular this gives, together with our previous results, an intrinsi...
