Causal Nets of Operator Algebras

Download or read book Causal Nets of Operator Algebras written by Hellmut Baumgärtel and published by De Gruyter Akademie Forschung. This book was released on 1992 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For advanced students in mathematics and mathematicians, as well as theoretical physicists, this volume presents the theory of nets of operator algebras, in particular nets connected with a causality condition. Such nets appear in mathematical formulations of quantum statistical mechanics and of quantum field theory. In this volume, the emphasis lies on nets which are linked with the algebraic approach to quantum field theory. Assumes a basic knowledge of functional analysis, in particular in the field of operator algebras. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
