Goal of this paper is to introduce the algebraic approach to quantum field theory on curved
backgrounds. Based on a set of axioms, first written down by Haag and Kastler, this method …

We study chain complexes of field configurations and observables for Abelian gauge theory
on contractible manifolds, and show that they can be extended to non-contractible manifolds …

A universal C*-algebra of the electromagnetic field is constructed. It is represented in any
quantum field theory which incorporates electromagnetism and expresses basic features of …

Since the grand partition function Z q for the so-called q-particles (ie, quons), q∈(− 1, 1),
cannot be computed by using the standard 2nd quantisation technique involving the full …

Abstract Given a Haag–Kastler net on a globally hyperbolic spacetime, one can consider a
family of regions where quantum charges are supposed to be localized. Assuming that the …

The basic aspects of the Aharonov–Bohm effect can be summarized by the remark that
wavefunctions become sections of a line bundle with a flat connection (that is, a” flat …

The thesis investigates the locality axiom of general local covariance for Abelian gauge
theories. Two models, Maxwell $ k $-forms (higher analogues of the electromagnetic vector …

A base generating the topology of a space M becomes a partially ordered set (poset), when
ordered under inclusion of open subsets. Given a precosheaf over of fixed-point spaces …
