A generalized Tomonaga-Schwinger equation, holding on the entire boundary of a finite spacetime region, has recently been considered as a tool for studying particle scattering amplitudes in background-independent quantum field theory. The equation has been derived using lattice techniques under assumptions on the existence of the continuum limit. Here I show that in the context of continuous Euclidean field theory the equation can be directly derived from the functional integral formalism…

A Note on Efimov Nonlocal and Nonpolynomial Quantum Scalar Field Theory
In the framework of the nonlocal and nonpolynomial quantum theory of the onecomponent scalar ˇeld in D-dimensional spacetime, stated by G. V. Eˇmov, the expansion of the S-matrix is revisited for…
On Unitary Evolution in Quantum Field Theory in Curved Spacetime
We investigate the question of unitarity of evolution between hypersurfaces in quantum field theory in curved spacetime from the perspective of the general boundary formulation. Unitarity thus means…
