FOREWORD This volume is the Proceedings of the International Symposium on Mathematical Problems in Theoretical Physics which was held at Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (RIMS) and Research Institute for Fundamental Physics (RIFP) of Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan on January 23-29, 1975. The subject of the Symposium is mainly mathematical problems in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics along with related mathematics. The Symposium was attended by both mathematicians and theoretical physicists working in different fields such as theory of elementary particles, quantum field theory, statistical mechanics, theory of probability, theory of operator algebras, theory of hyper- functions, mathematical scattering theory, linear and nonlinear differential equations. The aim of the Symposium is to provide an opportunity to find out recent results and outstanding problems in boundary areas of mathematics and physics and to promote an interaction between mathematicians and physicists. On the side of physics, attention is focussed on methods in quantum field theory and statistical mechanics and as a consequence phenomenology is not included. On the side of mathematics, attention is focussed on those areas which have lively interactions with quantum field theory and statistical mechanics. Obviously there are other areas of physics, such as fluid mechanics and general relativity, which have lively interaction with mathematics but which could not be included. This kind of international meetings of mathematical physicists was started by the International Conference on Mathematical Problems in Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Statistics held at Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow, USSR, on December 12-18, 1972. This Symposium is the second in the series. The symbol mark Mn ¢ adopted in both meetings denotes the intersection of mathematics and physics and well indicates the interdisciplinary character of these meetings. It is hoped that this series of international meetings of mathematical physicists continue to be held biannually or triannually. In writing contributions in this Proceedings, each speaker of the Symposium has been asked to make it suitable for Lecture Notes in Physics. A full paper with technical details is supposed to be iV published elsewhere. Review of a subject, report on recent new results, description of outstanding problems and well-defined proposal or con- jecture, along with appropriate references, are supposed to be included. Thus this volume is hopedto be useful for graduate students in finding out an appropriate subject for his research and for mathematicians and physicists in finding out what is happening in their neighbouring fields as well as in his own field. Discussions on each contribution in the SympoSium are written mostly on the spot by relevant persons and are given to the speaker. Each speaker is then given a complete freedom in deciding whether he includes a certain question or comment into "Discussion" part of his manuscripts for this Proceedings. Contributions are grouped into 30 Sessions, and arranged in the order of presentation in each Session. Each morning Session (numbered 1 to 6) includes two one-hour review talks. Afternoon Sessions, which were done in parallel 2 at a time and 4 altogether in each afternoon, are arranged with odd numbered Sessions (held at RIMS) first and even numbered Sessions (held at RIFP) afterwards in each afternoon. Other- wise Sessions are arranged in chronological order. Authors of the last two articles were unable to attend the Symposium but kindly sent in their manuscripts which they had already prepared for presentation at the Symposium. Grouping of the contributions into Sessions were originally planned according to the subject of contributions. However, due to various reasons, last minutes rearrangement of the schedule caused some mixing. In addition, some contributions are related with more than one subjects and some others do not fit well into the original classification. Therefore we delete the subject title of each Session in this Proceedings. Instead we provide a Subject Index in which a contribution may appear more than once under different subjects. The members of the Organizing Committee were as follows: Huzihiro ARAKI, Hiroshi FUJITA, Masakuni IDA, Teruo IKEBE, Kyozi KAWASAKI, Ziro MAKI, Sigeru MIZOHATA, Noboru MAKANISHI, Kazuhiko NISHIJIMA, David RUELLE, Miklo SATO, Vasilie Sergeevfch VLADIMIROV, Hisaaki YOSHIZAWA(Chairman). The Symposium was sponsored by International Mathematical Union, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science and Science Council Of Japan. We wish to thank these organizations for their financial and moral V support of the Symposium. We wish to express our appreciations and thanks to all authors of contributions in this Proceedings for their splendid works and for their co-operation with assigned page limitation and early deadline, to all participants of the Symposium and to all secretarial and administrative staffs of host Institutes for their effort in bringing this Symposium to success.

  • Arthur Strong Wightman (1922–2013)
    Obituary Arthur Strong Wightman (1922–2013) Arthur Wightman, a founding father of modern mathematical physics, passed away on January 13, 2013 at the age of 90. His own scientific work had an enormous impact in clar- ifying the compatibility of relativity with quantum theory in the framework of quantum field theory. But his stature and influence was linked with an enormous cadre of students, scientific collaborators, and friends whose careers shaped fields both in mathematics and theoretical physics. Princeton has a long tradition in mathematical physics, with university faculty from Sir James Jeans through H.P. Robertson, Hermann Weyl, John von Neumann, Eugene Wigner, and Valentine Bargmann, as well as a long history of close collaborations with colleagues at the Institute for Advanced Study. Princeton became a mecca for quantum field theorists as well as other mathematical physicists during the Wightman era. Ever since the advent of “axiomatic quantum field theory”, many researchers flocked to cross the threshold of his open office door—both in Palmer and later in Jadwin—for Arthur was renowned for his generosity in sharing ideas and research directions. In fact, some students wondered whether Arthur might be too generous with his time helping others, to the extent that it took time away from his own research. Arthur had voracious intellectual appetites and breadth of interests. Through his interactions with others and his guidance of students and postdocs, he had profound impact not only on axiomatic and constructive quantum field theory but on the de- velopment of the mathematical approaches to statistical mechanics, classical mechanics, dynamical systems, transport theory, non-relativistic quantum mechanics, scattering the- ory, perturbation of eigenvalues, perturbative renormalization theory, algebraic quantum field theory, representations of C⇤-algebras, classification of von Neumann algebras, and higher spin equations.

  • Solutions in Constructive Field Theory
    Solutions in Constructive Field Theory Leif Hancox-Li ∗ [email protected] June 7, 2016 Abstract Constructive field theory aims to rigorously construct concrete, non-trivial solutions to Lagrangians used in particle physics, where the solutions satisfy some relevant set of axioms. I examine the relationship of solutions in constructive field theory to both axiomatic and Lagrangian quantum field theory (QFT). I argue that Lagrangian QFT provides conditions for what counts as a successful constructive solution, and that it provides other information that guides constructive field theorists to solutions. Solutions matter because they describe the behavior of QFT systems, and thus what QFT says the world is like. Constructive field theory, in incorporating ingredients from both axiomatic and Lagrangian QFT, clarifies existing disputes about which parts of QFT are philosophically relevant and how rigor relates to these disputes. ∗I thank Bob Batterman and Michael Miller for comments and encouragement. Several anonymous referees also contribued valuable comments. Copyright Philosophy of Science 2016 Preprint (not copyedited or formatted) Please use DOI when citing or quoting 1 Introduction To date, philosophers of quantum field theory (QFT) have paid much attention to roughly two kinds of QFT: axiomatic approaches to algebraic QFT (Halvorson and Muger,¨ 2006), and Lagrangian-based QFT as used by particle physicists (Wallace, 2006). Comparatively less attention, however, has been paid to constructive QFT, an approach that aims to rigorously construct non-trivial solutions of QFT for Lagrangians and Hamiltonians that are important in particle physics, ensuring that such solutions satisfy certain axioms. In doing so, constructive QFT mediates between axiomatic approaches to QFT and physicists’ Lagrangian-based QFT.

  • Is Our Mathematics Natural? the Case of Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics
    BULLETIN (New Series) OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICAL SOCIETY Volume 19, Number 1, July 1988 IS OUR MATHEMATICS NATURAL? THE CASE OF EQUILIBRIUM STATISTICAL MECHANICS DAVID RUELLE ABSTRACT. IS human 20th-century mathematics a natural or an arbi­ trary logical construct? Some insight into this ill-posed but fascinating question is gained from the study of mathematical physics. A number of ideas introduced by physical rather than mathematical necessity turn out later to be mathematically useful. (Equilibrium statistical mechan­ ics has been a particularly rich source of such ideas.) In view of this the author argues that our mathematics may be much more arbitrary than we usually like to think. 1. Is our mathematics natural? The story goes that, when he reached heaven, Wolfgang Pauli requested to see his Creator, and asked Him to explain why the fine structure constant of electrodynamics has the value a « 1/137. The Almighty went to the blackboard, and was busy writing formulae for a couple of hours. During that time Pauli sat, shaking his head and not saying a word. When finally the answer came: a~l — 137.0359..., Pauli stood up, still shaking his head, took the chalk and pointed to an essential flaw in the calculation. I heard the story from Res Jost, and I wouldn't bet that it is completely authentic. Anyway, I think that many of us would like to ask some questions about physics and mathematics of Him who knows—when the opportunity arises. There are a number of obvious questions. For instance, about the consistency of mathematics: has He

  • Rudolf Haag's Legacy of Local Quantum Physics And
    Rudolf Haag’s legacy of Local Quantum Physics and reminiscences about a cherished teacher and friend In memory of Rudolf Haag (1922-2016) submitted to the Eur. Phys. J. H Bert Schroer permanent address: Institut f¨ur Theoretische Physik FU-Berlin, Arnimallee 14, 14195 Berlin, Germany November 2016 Abstract After some personal recollectioms about Rudolf Haag and his thoughts which led him to ”Local Quantum Physics”, the present work recalls his ideas about scattering theory, the relation between local observables and localized fields and his contributions to the physical aspects of modu- lar operator theory which paved the way for an intrisic understanding of quantum causal localization in which fields ”coordinatize” the local algebras. The paper ends with the presentation of string-local fields whose con- struction and use in a new renormalization theory for higher spin fields is part of an ongoing reformulation of gauge theory in the conceptual setting of Haag’s LQP. 1 First encounter with Rudolf Haag arXiv:1612.00003v1 [math-ph] 30 Nov 2016 On his return from the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen to the University of Munich Rudolf Haag passed through Hamburg to meet his colleague Harry Lehmann, at that time the newly appointed successor of Wilhelm Lenz who held the chair of theoretical physics since the 1920 foundation of the University of Hamburg. It was the year 1958 shortly after the decision to construct the DESY particle accelerator in Hamburg which created a lot of excitement. I had nearly completed my diploma thesis under Lehmann and begun to worry about my career.

Geometrically this symmetry is often modelled with current groups and current algebras, which are used to capture both the idea of gauge invariance and the algebraic structure of gauge currents related to the symmetry. The Hamiltonian anomaly is a well-known problem in the quantisation of massless fermion elds, originally manifesting as additional terms in current algebra commutators. The appearance of these anomalous terms is a signal of two things: that the gauge invariance of quantised Hamiltonian operators is broken, and that consequently it is not possible to coherently dene a vacuum state over the physical conguration space of equivalent gauge connections. In this thesis we explore the geometric and topological origins of the Hamiltonian anomaly, emphasising the usefulness of higher geometric structures in the sense of category theory. Given this context we also discuss higher versions of the gauge-theoretic current groups.

  • Nine Lessons of My Teacher, Arthur Strong Wightman a Talk at Princeton University, 10 March 2013 by Arthur Jaffe (Cambridge (MA), Basel, and Z¨Urich)
    Nine Lessons of my Teacher, Arthur Strong Wightman Nine Lessons of my Teacher, Arthur Strong Wightman A Talk at Princeton University, 10 March 2013 by Arthur Jaffe (Cambridge (MA), Basel, and Z¨urich) At Harvard University, Arthur Ja↵e is the Landon T. Clay Pro- fessor of Mathematics and Theoretical Science. He is currently on sabbatical leave at the University of Basel and at the ETH, Z¨urich. He has worked in several fields of mathematical physics. Arthur Ja↵e received his doctorate in physics from Princeton as a student of Arthur Wightman, after studying mathematics as a Cambridge undergraduate and chemistry as a Princeton un- dergraduate. He has served as president of IAMP, and also as president of the American Mathematical Society. Preamble. All of us here today have been students of Arthur Wightman. But his thirty-six formal doctoral students form a very special club, which I represent on this part of today’s program. A few members appear in this 1965 snapshot of Arthur Wightman’s seminar in Palmer 301, with Arthur smiling benevolently in the center. IAMP News Bulletin, April 2013 3 Arthur Ja↵e Postdoctoral fellows and other visitors to Princeton surround the students during those exciting times some 48 years ago.

  • Algebraic Quantum Field Theory--An Introduction
    Algebraic Quantum Field Theory – an introduction Christopher J Fewster∗1 and Kasia Rejzner†1 1Department of Mathematics, University of York, Heslington, York YO10 5DD, United Kingdom. November 19, 2019 Abstract We give a pedagogical introduction to algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT), with the aim of explaining its key structures and features. Topics covered include: algebraic formulations of quantum theory and the GNS representation theorem, the appearance of unitarily inequivalent representations in QFT (exemplified by the van Hove model), the main assumptions of AQFT and simple models thereof, the spectrum condition, Reeh–Schlieder theorem, split property, the universal type of local algebras, and the theory of superselection sectors. The abstract discussion is illustrated by concrete examples. One of our concerns is to explain various ways in which quantum field theory differs from quantum mechanics, not just in terms of technical detail, but in terms of physical content. The text is supplemented by exercises and appendices that enlarge on some of the relevant mathematical background. These notes are based on lectures given by CJF for the International Max Planck Research School at the Albert Einstein Institute, Golm (October, 2018) and by KR at the Raman Research Institute, Bangalore (January, 2019).

  • 50 Years of Communications in Mathematical Physics !
    50 Years of Communications in Mathematical Physics ! 50 Years of Communications in Mathematical Physics ! by Arthur Jaffe (Harvard) Arthur Jaffe, the Landon T. Clay Professor of Mathemat- ics and Theoretical Science at Harvard University, studied at Princeton and Cambridge Universities, starting in experimen- tal chemistry, transitioning through mathematics, and ending in mathematical physics. He has been on the faculty of Harvard University since 1967, and has served as President of the In- ternational Association of Mathematical Physics, President of the American Mathematical Society, and Chair of the Council of Scientific Society Presidents. He was a founding Member, Director, and first President of the Clay Mathematics Insti- tute. He hears the mathematical physics community speaking with one voice. This summer marks a milestone in the history of our subject: the first issue of Com- munications in Mathematical Physics appeared just fifty years ago! This remarkable initiative originated with a small group of researchers who sorely felt the need for a jour- nal that specialized in mathematical physics. Thinking back it is hard to imagine how our subject would have evolved so coherently without this top-quality, high-profile journal. A key person in the founding of CMP was Res Jost in Z¨urich. He believed in the need for a journal in which physics and mathematics were both central. Jost was a friend of Konrad Springer, heir to the family dynasty that became famous for publishing outstanding scientific books and journals. In those times, personal connections and a close camaraderie led to many good developments. Res Jost, Jr. described to me how Konrad Springer met his father in the Josts' new home in Unterengstringen (a Z¨urich suburb) to discuss the possibilities for a new journal.
