| contents | Algebraic quantum field theory is a general mathematical framework for relativistic quantum physics, based on the theory of operator algebras. It comprises all observable and operational aspects of a theory. In its framework the entire state space of a theory is covered, starting from the vacuum over arbitrary configurations of particles to thermal equilibrium and non-equilibrium states. It provides a solid foundation for structural analysis, the physical interpretation of the theory and the development of new constructive schemes. This survey is commissioned by the Encyclopedia of Mathematical Physics, edited by M. Bojowald and R.J. Szabo. It is to be published by the Elsevier publishing house. |
