Among the collateral results of this new non- perturbative approach are profound relations between crossing symmetry of particle physics and Hawking-Unruh like thermal aspects (KMS property, entropy attached to horizons) of quantum mat- ter behind causal horizons which hitherto were more related with Killing horizons in curved spacetime than with localization aspects in Minkowski space particle physics. The scope of this framework is wide and ranges from providing a conceptual basis for the d=l+l bootstrap-formfactor program for factorizable d=l+l models to a decomposition theory of QFT's in terms of a finite collection of unitarily equivalent chiral conformal theories placed a specified relative position within a common Hilbert space (in d=l+l a holographic relation and in higher dimensions more like a scanning). Al- though different from string theory, some of its concepts originated as string theory in the aftermath of the ill-fated S-matrix bootstrap approch of the 6O'es.

  • CV Alfred Kastler
    Curriculum Vitae Prof. Dr. Alfred Kastler Name: Alfred Kastler Lebensdaten: 3. Mai 1902 ‐ 7. Januar 1984 Alfred Kastler war ein französischer Physiker. Seine Arbeiten bildeten die Grundlage für die Entwicklung von Maser und Laser. Für die Entdeckung und Entwicklung optischer Methoden zum Studium der elektromagnetischen Resonanzen in Atomen wurde er 1966 mit dem Nobelpreis für Physik ausgezeichnet. Akademischer und beruflicher Werdegang Alfred Kastler studierte von 1921 bis 1926 Physik an der École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris. Anschließend war er als Physiklehrer tätig, zunächst an einem Lyceum in Mühlhausen, später in Colmar und Bordeaux. 1931 wurde er Assistent an der Universität Bordeaux. Von 1936 bis 1938 war er an der Universität in Clemont‐Ferrand tätig. 1938 bekam er eine Professur an der Universität in Bordeaux. Dort beschäftigte er sich mit dem Verfahren der Atomspektroskopie. 1941 ging er nach Paris, wo er die Physik‐Abteilung an der École Normale Supérieure in Paris leitete, die er als junger Mann selbst absolviert hatte. Von 1951 bis zu seinem Rücktritt 1972 war er Direktor des Laboratoire de Spectroscopie Hertzienne des ENS, das heute seinen Namen trägt. 1952 wurde er außerdem Professor an der Faculté de Science in Paris. In den Jahren 1953/54 war er als Gastprofessor an der Universität im belgischen Löwen tätig. Gemeinsam mit seinem Kollegen Jean Brossel entwickelte er spektroskopische Methoden in der Atomphysik, so etwa die Doppelresonanzmethode sowie den physikalischen Effekt des optischen Pumpens. Dieser bewirkt eine Besetzungsinversion durch optische Anregung und bildet zugleich die Grundlagen für die Theorie des Maser‐ sowie des Laserstrahls. Von 1968 bis 1972 war Kastler außerdem Direktor der französischen Forschungsorganisation Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

  • 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.

The first chapter presents a novel algorithm for determining the sky location of a gravitational wave source. The second chapter develops a new approach to polysymplectic covariant Hamiltonian field theory, then uses that approach to produce an original quantization procedure applicable to both particles and fields. The third and final chapter applies the quantization procedure of the second chapter to the particularly challenging case of general relativity. An appendix on noise in gravitational wave detectors and a Glossary of terms are in- cluded for the convenience of the reader. iii Contents Introduction 1 1 A Numerical Source Localization Algorithm for Two Detector Grav- itational Wave Observatory Networks 6 1.1 Overview . .6 1.2 Background . .7 1.3 Methods . .9 1.4 Circularly polarized gravitational waves . 13 1.5 Elliptically polarized gravitational waves .
