In this series of lectures directed towards a mainly mathematically oriented audience I try to motivate the use of operator algebra methods in quantum field theory. Therefore a title as "why mathematicians are/should be interested in algebraic quantum field theory" would be equally fitting. Besides a presentation of the framework and the main results of local quantum physics these notes may serve as a guide to frontier research problems in mathematical physics with applications in particle and…

An Overview About Quantum TGD
This chapter provides a summary about various approaches to quantum TGD. The discussions are based on the general vision that quantum states of the Universe correspond to the modes of classical…
Zero Energy Ontology and Matrices
During years the basic mathematical and conceptual building bricks of quantum TGD have become rather obvious. One important building brick is Zero Energy Ontology (ZEO). ZEO forces to generalize the…
Hyper-Finite Factors, P-Adic Length Scale Hyoithesis, and Dark Matter Hierarchy
The book is devoted to hyper-finite factors and hierarchy of Planck constants. Configuration space spinors indeed define a canonical example about hyper-finite factor of type II1. The work with TGD…
Topological Geometrodynamics: Basic Visions
In this article I will discuss three basic visions about quantum Topological Geometrodynamics (TGD). It is somewhat matter of taste which idea one should call a vision and the selection of these…
Fixed Point Theory Using ψ Contractive Mapping in C ∗ -Algebra Valued B-Metric Space
In this paper, fixed point theorems using ψ contractive mapping in C∗-algebra valued b-metric space are introduced. By stating multiple scenarios that illustrate the application domains, we…

Holography&Transplantation and All That (The tip of an iceberg for a paradigmatic change in QFT?)
Recent developments in local quantum physics have led to revolutionary conceptual changes in the thinking about a more intrinsic formulation and in particular about unexpected aspects of localized…
The Conventionality of Parastatistics
Nature seems to be such that we can describe it accurately with quantum theories of bosons and fermions alone, without resort to parastatistics. This has been seen as a deep mystery: paraparticles…
