On Causal Compatibility of Quantum Eld Theories and Space-times
نویسنده
چکیده
In 7] the notion of causal compatibility is introduced as a method to determine the conformal structure of space-time uniquely by the net of observable algebras of a quantum eld theory. In this work some new aspects of causal compatibility are discussed. In particular it is shown that for a given lattice of algebras there exists up to conformal equivalence at most one Lorentzian manifold which is causally compatible. This enhances previous results, where special properties of the index set of the net are used.

Within the setting of algebraic quantum eld theory a relation between phase-space properties of observables and charged elds is established. These properties are expressed in terms of compactness and nuclearity conditions which are the basis for the characterization of theories with physically reasonable causal and thermal features. Relevant concepts and results of phase space analysis in algeb...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theories and Frobenius Algebras
We characterize Frobenius algebras A as algebras having a comultiplication which is a map of A-modules. This characterization allows a simple demonstration of the compatibility of Frobenius algebra structure with direct sums. We then classify the indecomposable Frobenius algebras as being either \annihilator algebras" | algebras whose socle is a principal ideal | or eld extensions. The relation...
متن کاملQuantum Fields in Curved Spacetime :
We brieey review the current status of the algebraic approach to quantum eld theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes, both axiomatic { for general eld theories, and constructive { for a linear Klein-Gordon model. We recall the concept of F-locality, introduced in the latter context in BS Kay: Rev. and explain how it can be formulated at an axiomatic level for a general eld theory (as a conditi...
متن کاملAn Approach to Quantum Statistical Mechanics
We start the discussion of the free Bose gas on Robertson-Walker space-times by introducing a new state on the Weyl algebra of the free massive Klein-Gordon eld on Robertson-Walker space-times. This state approximates a thermal equilibrium state and opens the possibility to do quantum statistical mechanics on expanding universes. We explain why this state is believed to be a physically relevant...
متن کاملQuantum Field Theory on Certain Non-Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes
We study real linear scalar eld theory on two simple non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes containing closed timelike curves within the framework proposed by Kay for algebraic quantum eld theory on non-globally hyperbolic spacetimes. In this context, a spacetime (M; g) is said to be `F-quantum compatible' with a eld theory if it admits a -algebra of local observables for that theory which satis es...
