Operatoralgebraic Methods in Quantum Field Theory. A Series of Lectures

In lectures presented during 1993-94, BaumgSrtel (U. of Potsdam, Germany) describes the important results of vacuum representations on the Minkowski space and studies the so-called DHR-superselection theory, first in the automorphism case and then the general case. The constructions of the field algebra and the symmetry group are included. Vacuum representations on the unit sphere S 1 are also explored. Distributed by VCH. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
