Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
Hans Halvorson,Michael Mueger +1 more
- 01 Feb 2006
TL;DR: Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by means of various mathematical tools as mentioned in this paper.
No Place for Particles in Relativistic Quantum Theories
Hans Halvorson,Rob Clifton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider and rebut several objections that have been made against the soundness of Malament's argument, and provide three no-go theorems to counter these objections.

What Scientific Theories Could Not Be
TL;DR: According to the semantic view of scientific theories, theories are classes of models as discussed by the authors, and if taken literally, this view leads to absurdities, in particular, it equates theories that are distinct, and distinguishes theory that are equivalent.
Entanglement and Open Systems in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory
Rob Clifton,Hans Halvorson +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show how the formalism of algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) provides a rigorous framework within which to analyse entanglement in the context of a fully relativistic formulation of quantum theory.

Generic Bell correlation between arbitrary local algebras in quantum field theory
Hans Halvorson,Rob Clifton +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that for any two commuting von Neumann algebras of infinite type, the open set of Bell correlated states for the two algesbras is norm dense.
