How to connect quantum field theory with quantum statistical mechanics?

Quantum field theories use Minkowski space whereas statictical mechanics uses 3-D Euclidean space with temperature as an additional variable. Both the theories deal with many particle systems and...

What is microcausality in a quantum field theory?

We know in quantum mechanics position and momentum of a particle do not commute. But in a quantum field theory they must commute if position operator and momentum operator are separated by a space...

Can we discuss some simple examples of non-local interactions in extra dimensional models ?

Action at a distance is the simplest non-local interaction. But then in relativistic local field theories signals cannot travel at velocities more than the speed of light. This is taken into...

Why two additional Majorana phases are introduced in lepton mixing matrix?

We do not know whether the neutrino is a Dirac particle or a Majorana particle. If neutrino turns out to be a Majorana particle then two additional phases are to be introduced in the 3x3 lepton...

We know that CP violation leads to T violation as CPT is conserved. Does it also imply the existence of an arrow of time in particle interactions?

CPT is a symmetry of fundamental interactions. Therefore CPT conservation is built into relativistic quantum field theories, such as electroweak theory. However we know that CP is violated in weak...

What are possible experimental or observational signatures of cosmological domain walls?

Domain walls or boundaries are expected to form when a discrete symmetry is broken spontaneously. REF: Y. B. Zeldovich, I. Y. Kobzarev and L. B. Okun, Zh. Eksp. Teor. Fiz. 67 (1974) 3 [Sov. Phys....

Why was the Newtonian notion of "action at a distance" replaced by local interactions in Einstein's gravity?

In Newtonian notion force between to masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance d is simply G m1 m2/d^2. This is an example of a theory which accepts action at a distance. A second example is...
