Motivations and Physical Aims of Algebraic QFT

Abstract

We present illustrations which show the usefulness of algebraic QFT. In particular in low-dimensional QFT, when Lagrangian quantization does not exist or is useless (e.g. in chiral conformal theories), the algebraic method is beginning to reveal its strength.
