Boundary operators are gauge invariant operators whose form factors correspond to boundary contributions of BCFW shifts. In gauge theory, the boundary operators contain infinite series, which are constrained by gauge symmetry. We compute…

We offer a clear physical explanation for the emergence of the quantum operator formalism, by revisiting the role of the vacuum field in quantum mechanics. The vacuum or random zero-point radiation field has been shown previously, using the…

We construct a classical field theory action which upon quantization via the functional integral approach, gives rise to a consistent Dirac-string independent quantum field theory. The approach entails a systematic derivation of the…

A `covariant' field that transforms like a relativistic field operator is required to be a linear combination of `canonical' fields that transform like annihilation and creation operators and with invariant coefficients. The Invariant…

Some of the consequences that follow from the C_2 condition of Zhu are analysed. In particular it is shown that every conformal field theory satisfying the C_2 condition has only finitely many n-point functions, and this result is used to…

We show that almost all string theories, including the bosonic string, the superstring and $W$-string theories, possess a twisted N=2 superconformal symmetry. This enables us to establish a connection between topological gravity and the…

In the first part, the second quantization procedure and the free Bosonic scalar field will be introduced, and the axioms for quantum fields and nets of observable algebras will be discussed. The second part is mainly devoted to an…

We extend and strengthen no-go results on pointwise-defined quantum fields to cover general spinors. We show that the weak continuity of quantum fields rules out equal-time canonical conjugate (anti)commutation relations in globally…

Making use of a recent result of Borchers, an algebraic version of the Bisognano-Wichmann theorem is given for conformal quantum field theories, i.e. the Tomita-Takesaki modular group associated with the von Neumann algebra of a wedge…

For quantum mechanics on a lattice the position (``particle number'') operator and the quasi-momentum (``phase'') operator obey canonical commutation relations (CCR) only on a dense set of the Hilbert space. We compare exact numerical…

Two general unsolvability arguments for interacting bosonic quantum field theories are presented, based on Dyson-Schwinger equations on the lattice and cardinality considerations. The first argument is related to the fact that, on a lattice…

We prove an equivalence between the following notions: (i) unitary M\"obius vertex algebras, and (ii) Wightman conformal field theories on the circle (with finite-dimensional conformal weight spaces) satisfying an additional condition that…

We consider confining strings in pure gluodynamics and its extensions with adjoint (s)quarks. We argue that there is a direct map between the set of bulk fields and the worldsheet degrees of freedom. This suggests a close link between the…

We investigate the W-algebras generated by the integer dimension chiral primary operators of the SU(2)_0 WZNW model. These have a form almost identical to that found in the c=-2 model but have, in addition, an extended Kac-Moody structure.…

We construct two-dimensional conformal field theories with a Z_N symmetry, based on the second solution of Fateev-Zamolodchikov for the parafermionic chiral algebra. Primary operators are classified according to their transformation…

Local quantum fields in 1+1 dimensions can have bounded field operators. The class of such fields which in addition obey Huygens' principle (time-like commutativity) and conformal covariance, is completely determined.

In this work we explore the self-adjointness of the GUP-modified momentum and Hamiltonian operators over different domains. In particular, we utilize the theorem by von-Newmann for symmetric operators in order to determine whether the…

Lorentz invariance of the current operators implies that they satisfy the well-known commutation relations with the representation operators of the Lorentz group. It is shown that if the standard construction of the current operators in…

The operational formalism to quantum mechanics seeks to base the theory on a firm foundation of physically well-motivated axioms [1]. It has succeeded in deriving the Feynman rules [2] for general quantum systems. Additional elaborations…

We point out that fermionic unitary operators which anticommute among themselves appear in various situations in quantum field theories with anomalies in the Hamiltonian formalism. To illustrate, we give multiple derivations of the fact…
