We construct the commutative Poisson algebra of classical Hamiltonians in field theory. We pose the problem of quantization of this Poisson algebra. We also make some interesting computations in the known quadratic part of the quantum…
We conjecture that the renormalized perturbative $S$-matrix of quantum field theory coincides with the evolution operator of the standard functional differential Schrodinger equation whose right hand side (quantum local Hamiltonian) is…
We review several procedures of quantization formulated in the framework of (classical) phase space M. These quantization methods consider Quantum Mechanics as a "deformation" of Classical Mechanics by means of the "transformation" of the…
We prove that the integral closure of a Poisson algebra $A$ over a field of characteristic 0 is again a Poisson algebra.
We provide a self-contained formulation of the BPHZ theorem in the Euclidean context, which yields a systematic procedure to "renormalise" otherwise divergent integrals appearing in generalised convolutions of functions with a singularity…
A simple introduction of renormalization in quantum field theory is discussed. Explanation of concepts is emphasized instead of the technical details.
We show that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of multiplicative extraction of finite values based on the Riemann-Hilbert problem. Given a loop $\gamma(z), | z |=1$ of elements…
In this work we give a deformation theoretical approach to the problem of quantization. First the notion of a deformation of a noncommutative ringed space over a commutative locally ringed space is introduced within a language coming from…
This paper gives a complete selfcontained proof of our result announced in hep-th/9909126 showing that renormalization in quantum field theory is a special instance of a general mathematical procedure of extraction of finite values based on…
We contruct here the Hopf algebra structure underlying the process of renormalization of non-commutative quantum field theory.
We propose a generalization of quantization as a categorical way. For a fixed Poisson algebra quantization categories are defined as subcategories of R-module category with the structure of classical limits. We construct the generalized…
These notes present an introduction to an analytic version of deformation quantization. The central point is to study algebras of physical observables and their irreducible representations. In classical mechanics one deals with real Poisson…
We briefly review the Hopf algebra structure arising in the renormalization of quantum field theories. We construct the Hopf algebra explicitly for a simple toy model and show how renormalization is achieved for this particular model.
The paper is devoted to peculiarities of the deformation quantization in the algebro-geometric context. A direct application of the formality theorem to an algebraic Poisson manifold gives a canonical sheaf of categories deforming coherent…
A practical approach is presented which allows the use of a non-invariant regularization scheme for the computation of quantum corrections in perturbative quantum field theory. The theoretical control of algebraic renormalization over…
Hamiltonian Renormalisation, as defined within this series of works, was derived from covariant Wilson renormalisation via Osterwalder-Schrader reconstruction. As such it directly applies to QFT with a true (physical) Hamiltonian bounded…
"Preprint" of paper from 1989 that wasn't arxiv'ed at the time. Abstract: Our understanding of quantum field theories, and, in particular, of renomalization has changed radically in recent years; renormalization is no longer a deeply…
The usual mathematical formalism of quantum field theory is non-rigorous because it contains divergences that can only be renormalized by non-rigorous mathematical methods. The purpose of this paper is to present a method of subtraction of…
The aim of this paper is to describe how to use regularization and renormalization to construct a perturbative quantum field theory from a Lagrangian. We first define renormalizations and Feynman measures, and show that although there need…
Phase-space realisations of an infinite parameter family of quantum deformations of the boson algebra in which the $q$-- and the $qp$--deformed algebras arise as special cases are studied. Quantum and classical models for the corresponding…
