Extension of the Sheaf-theoretic Structure to Algebraic Quantum Field Theory

Published 29 Oct 2015 in math-ph and math.MP | (1510.08708v1)

Abstract: The sheaf-theoretic structure is useful in classifying no-go theorems related to non-locality and contextuality. It provides a new point of view different from conventional formularization of quantum mechanics. First, we examine a relationship between the conventional formularization and the innovative formularization. There exists an equivalence of their categories, and from the equivalence, one locality can be transformed to another as a concrete example. Next, we extend the quantum mechanics which has a finite-degree of freedom to the quantum filed theory with an infinite-degree of freedom, especially to the algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT for short). We consider about a violation of the Bell inequality in AQFT, and we show that the condition of strict spacelike separation has the same Cartesian product structure as locality of quantum mechanics. Also, we show that no-signalling property can be proved by Split Property. A local state is a sheaf which is defined by Split Property in AQFT. It induces the sheaf-theoretic structure. Finally, we show an extension of the No-Signalling theorem which depends on spacetime in AQFT.
