We quantize a massive scalar field in de Sitter spacetime and derive the S-matrix for the general interacting theory. Using the general boundary formulation of quantum field theory, we also propose a new type of S-matrix derived from the…

Boundary conformal field theory (BCFT) is simply the study of conformal field theory (CFT) in domains with a boundary. It gains its significance because, in some ways, it is mathematically simpler: the algebraic and geometric structures of…
In this paper we describe how relativistic field theories containing defects are equivalent to a class of boundary field theories. As a consequence previously derived results for boundaries can be directly applied to defects, these results…
In this work we develop an algebraic theory of linear recurrence equations and systems with constant coefficients and reflection. We obtain explicit solutions and the Green's functions associated to different problems under general linear…
The relative entropy in two-dimensional field theory is studied on a cylinder geometry, interpreted as finite-temperature field theory. The width of the cylinder provides an infrared scale that allows us to define a dimensionless relative…
