We review some ideas from a recent construction which introduced the notion of vertex operators and form factors as vacuum expectation values of related vertex operators in the space of fields. The vertex operators are constructed…
Using a duality between the space of particles and the space of fields, we show how one can compute form factors directly in the space of fields. This introduces the notion of vertex operators, and form factors are vacuum expectation values…
We consider the spin $k/2$ XXZ model in the antiferomagnetic regime using the free field realization of the quantum affine algebra $\uqa$ of level $k$. We give a free field realization of the type II $q$-vertex operator, which describes…
Following recent advances in large N matrix mechanics, I discuss here the free (Cuntz) algebraic formulation of the large N limit of two-dimensional conformal field theories of chiral adjoint fermions and bosons. One of the central results…
We describe the construction of the quantum deformed affine Lie algebras using the vertex operators in the free field theory. We prove the Serre relations for the quantum deformed Borel subalgebras of affine algebras, namely the case of…
We study the structure of superselection sectors of an arbitrary perturbation of a conformal field theory. We describe how a restriction of the q-deformed $\hat{sl(2)}$ affine Lie algebra symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory can be used to…
It is shown that the scaling operators in the conformal limit of a two-dimensional field theory have massive form factors which obey a simple factorisation property in rapidity space. This has been used to identify such operators within the…
We consider the sine-Gordon and affine Toda field theories on the half-line with classically integrable boundary conditions, and show that in the quantum theory a remnant survives of the bulk quantized affine algebra symmetry generated by…
Quantum field theory on two- and three-dimensional fuzzy anti-de Sitter spaces is introduced and studied. We find a complete set of solutions to the fuzzy Klein-Gordon equation and identify the commutative limit in which they reduce to…
The level 1 highest weight modules of the quantum affine algebra $U_q(\widehat{\frak{sl}}_n)$ can be described as spaces of certain semi-infinite wedges. Using a $q$-antisymmetrization procedure, these semi-infinite wedges can be realized…
The 2-dimensional space-time sine-Gordon field theory is extended algebraically within the n-dimensional space of extended complex numbers. This field theory is constructed in terms of an adapted extension of standard vertex operators. A…
The familiar generating functionals in QFT fail to be true measures since the Lebesgue measure in infinite-dimensional spaces is not defined in general. The problem lies in constructing representations of topological $^*$-algebras of…
We study the second quantization of field theory on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere for real q. This is performed using a path-integral over the modes, which generate a quasiassociative algebra. The resulting models have a manifest U_q(su(2))…
In constrast to discretized space-time approximations to continuum quantum field theories, discretized velocity space approximations to continuum quantum field theories are investigated. A four-momentum operator is given in terms of bare…
Quantum toroidal algebras are obtained from quantum affine algebras by a further affinization, and, like the latter, can be used to construct integrable systems. These algebras also describe the symmetries of instanton partition functions…
The subject of this thesis is the rigorous construction of QFT models with nontrivial interaction. Two different approaches in the framework of AQFT are discussed. On the one hand, an inverse scattering problem is considered. A given…
The quantum affine symmetry of the sine-Gordon theory at q^2 = 1, which occurs at the reflectionless points, is studied. Conserved currents that correspond to the closure of simple root generators are considered, and shown to be local. We…
A formula is proposed which expresses free fermion fields in 2K dimensions in terms of the Cartan currents of the free fermion current algebra. This leads, in an obvious manner, to a vertex operator construction of nonabelian free fermion…
