Lectures on Algebraic Quantum Field Theory and Operator Algebras
@article{Schroer2001LecturesOA, title={Lectures on Algebraic Quantum Field Theory and Operator Algebras}, author={Bert Schroer}, journal={arXiv: Mathematical Physics}, year={2001} }
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…
