Axiomatic quantum field theory | Theorems in quantum mechanics

Haag's theorem

While working on the mathematical physics of an interacting, relativistic, quantum field theory, Rudolf Haag developed an argument against the existence of the interaction picture, a result now commonly known as Haag’s theorem. Haag’s original proof relied on the specific form of then-common field theories, but subsequently generalized by a number of authors, notably Hall & Wightman, who concluded that no single, universal Hilbert space representation can describe both free and interacting fields. A generalization due to Reed & Simon shows that applies to free neutral scalar fields of different masses, which implies that the interaction picture is always inconsistent, even in the case of a free field.

An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance

Title: An introduction to the Gromov-Hausdorff distance Abstract: We give a brief introduction to the Hausdorff and Gromov-Hausdorff distances between metric spaces. The Hausdorff distance is defined on two subsets of a common metric space. The Gromov-Hausdorff distance is defined on any

Hausdorff Example 3: Function Spaces

Point Set Topology: For a third example, we consider function spaces. We begin with the space of continuous functions on [0,1]. As a metric space, this example is Hausdorff, but not complete. We consider Cauchy sequences and a possible completion.

Theory of numbers: Congruences: Euler's theorem

This lecture is part of an online undergraduate course on the theory of numbers. We prove Euler's theorem, a generalization of Fermat's theorem to non-prime moduli, by using Lagrange's theorem and group theory. As an application of Fermat's theorem we show there are infinitely many prim

Hausdorff Example 1: Cofinite Topology

Point Set Topology: We recall the notion of a Hausdorff space and consider the cofinite topology as a source of non-Hausdorff examples. We also note that this topology is always compact.

Introduction to additive combinatorics lecture 10.8 --- A weak form of Freiman's theorem

In this short video I explain how the proof of Freiman's theorem for subsets of Z differs from the proof given earlier for subsets of F_p^N. The answer is not very much: the main differences are due to the fact that cyclic groups of prime order do not have lots of subgroups, so one has to

Claire Voisin - Schiffer variations of hypersurfaces and the generic Torelli theorem - WAGON

The generic Torelli theorem for hypersurfaces of degree d and dimension n-1 was proved by Donagi in the 90's. It works under the assumption that d is at least 7 and d does not divide n+1, which in particular excludes the Calabi-Yau case in all dimensions. We prove that the generic Torelli
