In 1929 Heisenberg and Pauli laid the foundations of QFT by quantizing the fields (method of canonical quantization). This general theory of quantized fields has remained undisputed up to now. We show how the unmodified Heisenberg-Pauli…

A generalization of the Heisenberg algebra has been recently constructed. This generalized algebra has a characteristic function which depends on one of its generators. When this function is linear, $qJ_0+s$, it is possible to construct a…

A new approach is demonstrated that QFTs can be UV finite if they are viewed as the low energy effective theories of a fundamental underlying theory (that is complete and well-defined in all respects) according to the nowaday's standard…

Algebraic quantum field theory, or AQFT for short, is a rigorous analysis of the structure of relativistic quantum mechanics. It is formulated in terms of a net of operator algebras indexed by regions of a Lorentzian manifold. In several…

We analyse different approaches to the description of the quantum field theory of a free massless (pseudo)scalar field defined in 1+1-dimensional space-time which describes the bosonized version of the massless Thirring model. These are (i)…

We provide an axiomatic framework for Quantum Field Theory at finite temperature which implies the existence of general analyticity properties of the $ n $-point functions; the latter parallel the properties derived from the usual Wightman…

States in quantum field theory (QFT) are represented by many-particle wave functions, such that a state describing n particles depends on n spacetime positions. Since a general state is a superposition of states with different numbers of…

We show that General Relativity coupled to a quantum field theory generically leads to non-local effects in the matter sector. These non-local effects can be described by non-local higher dimensional operators which remarkably have an…

The problem of gauge invariance in an ultraviolet complete quantum field theory (QFT) with nonlocal interactions is investigated. For local fields that couple through a nonlocal interaction, it is demonstrated that the quantum…

Because the subject of relativistic quantum field theory (QFT) contains all of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, we expect quantum field computation to contain (non-relativistic) quantum computation. Although we do not yet have a quantum…
