The concept of a "space of quantum field theories" or "theory space" was set out in the 1970's in work of Wilson, Friedan and others. This structure should play an important role in organizing and classifying QFTs, and in the study of the…

Quantum field theory is a powerful tool to describe the relevant physics governing complex quantum many-body systems. Here we develop a general pathway to extract the irreducible building blocks of quantum field theoretical descriptions and…

I recall the main motivation to study quantum field theories on noncommutative spaces and comment on the most-studied example, the noncommutative R^4. That algebra is given by the *-product which can be written in (at least) two ways: in an…
