Locally covariant quantum field theory

High Energy Physics - Theory 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The principle of local covariance which was recently introduced admits a generally covariant formulation of quantum field theory. It allows a discussion of structural properties of quantum field theory as well as the perturbative construction of renormalized interacting models on generic curved backgrounds and opens in principle the way towards a background independent perturbative quantization of gravity.
