On revolutionizing quantum field theory with Tomita's modular theory

HJ Borchers - Journal of mathematical Physics, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
In the book of Haag [Local Quantum Physics (Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1992)] about local
quantum field theory the main results are obtained by the older methods of C*-and W …

Modular localization and Wigner particles

R Brunetti, D Guido, R Longo - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2002 - World Scientific
We propose a framework for the free field construction of algebras of local observables
which uses as an input the Bisognano–Wichmann relations and a representation of the …

Passivity and microlocal spectrum condition

H Sahlmann, R Verch - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2000 - Springer
In the setting of vector-valued quantum fields obeying a linear wave-equation in a globally
hyperbolic, stationary spacetime, it is shown that the two-point functions of passive quantum …

Temperature and entropy–area relation of quantum matter near spherically symmetric outer trap** horizons

F Kurpicz, N Pinamonti, R Verch - Letters in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We consider spherically symmetric spacetimes with an outer trap** horizon. Such
spacetimes are generalizations of spherically symmetric black hole spacetimes where the …

Algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetimes

CJ Fewster, R Verch - Advances in algebraic quantum field theory, 2015 - Springer
This chapter sets out the framework of algebraic quantum field theory in curved spacetimes,
based on the idea of local covariance. In this framework, a quantum field theory is modelled …

Snowmass white paper: The quest to define QFT

M Dedushenko - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2023 - World Scientific
This paper provides a review of the literature on rigorous definitions and constructions in
quantum field theory (QFT), spanning the period of seven decades. Compared with the …

[HTML][HTML] Comment on the Bekenstein bound

R Longo, F Xu - Journal of Geometry and Physics, 2018 - Elsevier
We propose a rigorous derivation of the Bekenstein upper limit for the entropy/information
that can be contained by a physical system in a given finite region of space with given finite …

A Spin-Statistics Theorem for Quantum Fields¶ on Curved Spacetime Manifolds¶ in a Generally Covariant Framework

R Verch - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2001 - Springer
A model-independent, locally generally covariant formulation of quantum field theory over
four-dimensional, globally hyperbolic spacetimes will be given which generalizes similar …

Modular operator for null plane algebras in free fields

V Morinelli, Y Tanimoto, B Wegener - Communications in Mathematical …, 2022 - Springer
We consider the algebras generated by observables in quantum field theory localized in
regions in the null plane. For a scalar free field theory, we show that the one-particle …

The Reeh–Schlieder property for quantum fields on stationary spacetimes

A Strohmaier - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2000 - Springer
We show that as soon as a linear quantum field on a stationary spacetime satisfies a certain
type of hyperbolic equation, the (quasifree) ground-and KMS-states with respect to the …
