quantum field theories (QFT)


This topic links the general framework of quantum field theories to group symmetriesand other relevant mathematical concepts utilized to represent quantum fieldsand their fundamental properties.

0.1 Fundamental, mathematical concepts in quantum field theory

Quantum field theory (QFT) is the general framework for describing the physics of relativistic quantum systems, such as, notably, accelerated elementary particles.

Quantum electrodynamics (QED), and QCD or quantum chromodynamics (http://planetmath.org/QCDorQuantumChromodynamics) are only two distinct theories among several quantum field theories, as their fundamental representations correspond, respectively, to very different– U(1) and SU(3)– group symmetries. This obviates the need for ‘more fundamental’ , or extended quantum symmetries, such as those afforded by either larger groups such asU(1)×SU(2)×SU(3) or spontaneously broken, special symmetries of a less restrictive kind present in ‘quantum groupoidsPlanetmathPlanetmath’ as for example in weak Hopf algebra representations, or in locally compact groupoidPlanetmathPlanetmath, Glc unitary representationsMathworldPlanetmath, and so on, to the higher dimensional (quantum) symmetries of quantum double groupoidsPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath, quantum double algebroids, quantum categoriesPlanetmathPlanetmathPlanetmath,quantum supercategoriesPlanetmathPlanetmath and/or quantum (supersymmetry) superalgebras (or graded ‘Lie’ algebrasPlanetmathPlanetmath); see, for example, their full development in a recent QFT textbook [4] that lead to superalgebroids in quantum gravity or QCD.
