Free Fields

This chapter discusses canonical quantization in field theory and shows how the notion of a particle arises within the framework of the concept of a field. Canonical quantization is the process of constructing a quantum theory on the basis of a classical theory. The chapter briefly considers the main elements of this procedure, starting from its simplest version in classical mechanics. It first describes the general principles of canonical quantization and then provides concrete examples. The examples include the canonical quantization of free real scalar fields, free complex scalar fields, free spinor fields and free electromagnetic fields.

Wightman Axioms

We construct a family of quantum scalar fields over a [Formula: see text]-adic spacetime which satisfy [Formula: see text]-adic analogues of the Gårding–Wightman axioms. Most of the axioms can be formulated in the same way for both the Archimedean and non-Archimedean frameworks; however, the axioms depending on the ordering of the background field must be reformulated, reflecting the acausality of [Formula: see text]-adic spacetime. The [Formula: see text]-adic scalar fields satisfy certain [Formula: see text]-adic Klein–Gordon pseudo-differential equations. The second quantization of the solutions of these Klein–Gordon equations corresponds exactly to the scalar fields introduced here. The main conclusion is that there seems to be no obstruction to the existence of a mathematically rigorous quantum field theory (QFT) for free fields in the [Formula: see text]-adic framework, based on an acausal spacetime.
