The vertex function is analyzed using covariant spectral regularization without encountering any divergence, either UV or IR. The mathematics of covariant spectral regularization for covariant matrix valued measures with one Lorentz index…
The Uehling contribution to the Lamb shift can be computed exactly in terms of the Uehling potential function. However derivations of this function are complex involving avoiding divergences using intricate techniques from early quantum…
We develop an action formulation of stochastic dynamics in the Hilbert space. By generalizing the Wiener process into 1+3-dimensional spacetime, we define a Lorentz-invariant random field. By coupling the random to quantum fields, we obtain…
We revise the use of 8-dimensional conformal, complex (Cartan) domains as a base for the construction of conformally invariant quantum (field) theory, either as phase or configuration spaces. We follow a gauge-invariant Lagrangian approach…
Contrary to what is often stated, a fundamental spacetime discreteness need not contradict Lorentz invariance. A causal set's discreteness is in fact locally Lorentz invariant, and we recall the reasons why. For illustration, we introduce a…
The formulation of a consistent measurement theory for relativistic quantum fields has become a problem of growing foundational and practical significance. Standard non-relativistic measurement models fail to incorporate the essential…
In this work we develop a re-formulation of quantum field theory through the more general weighted Lorentz invariant measures that the definition of quantum fields allows; this approach provides finite answers for the long-live problems of…
An example of a coherent measurement for the direct evaluation of the degree of polarization of a single-mode optical beam is presented. It is applied to the case of great practical importance where depolarization is caused by polarization…
A quantum inequality for the quantized electromagnetic field is developed for observers in static curved spacetimes. The quantum inequality derived is a generalized expression given by a mode function expansion of the four-vector potential,…
The topic of measurement in relativistic quantum field theory is addressed in this article. Some of the long standing problems of this subject are highlighted, including the incompatibility of an instantaneous ``collapse of the…
To quantify the effect of decoherence in quantum measurements, it is desirable to measure not merely the square modulus of the spatial wavefunction, but the entire density matrix, whose phases carry information about momentum and how pure…
The Lorentz covariant theory of precise Doppler measurements (PDM) based on the retarded Li\'{e}nard-Wiechert solution of the Einstein equations is described. An exact solution of equations of light propagation in the field of arbitrary…
Quantum field theory (QFT) is supposed to be gauge invariant. However it has been well established that a direct calculation of the vacuum polarization tensor produces a non-gauge invariant result. In this paper it will be shown that this…
Lorentz-covariant harmonic oscillator wave functions are constructed from the Lorentz-invariant oscillator differential equation of Feynman, Kislinger, and Ravndal for a two-body bound state. The wave functions are not invariant but…
We propose and develop a measurement scheme for quantum field theory (QFT) in curved spacetimes, in which the QFT of interest, the "system", is dynamically coupled to another, the "probe", in a compact spacetime region. Measurements of…
We introduce the notion of Bartlett spectral measure for isometrically invariant random measures on proper metric commutative spaces. When the underlying Gelfand pair corresponds to a higher-rank, connected, simple matrix Lie group with…
This is the second of two works concerning the Sobolev calculus on metric measure spaces and its applications. In this work, we focus on several approaches to vector calculus in the non-smooth setting of complete and separable metric spaces…
Canonical quantization of quantum field theory models is inherently related to the Lorentz invariant partition of classical fields into the positive and the negative frequency parts $u(x) = u^+(x) + u^-(x),$ performed with the help of…
A systematic study of recursive renormalization of Feynman amplitudes is carried out both in Euclidean and in Minkowski configuration space. For a massless quantum field theory (QFT) we use the technique of extending associate homogeneous…
Several related operator-algebraic constructions for quantum field theory models on Minkowski spacetime are reviewed. The common theme of these constructions is that of a Borchers triple, capturing the structure of observables localized in…
