Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
Troy University
CourseMTH 6645
The course offers an introduction to Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). It starts with a review of Hamiltonian mechanics and canonical quantization. The student is then introduced to the axioms of AQFT and some of its main results, including the GNS construction and the Reeh-Schlieder theorem. The formalism allows the study of quantum fields in curved spacetime.
