A positive formalism for quantum theory in the general boundary formulation
Robert Oeckl
We introduce a new "positive formalism" for encoding quantum theories in the general boundary formulation, somewhat analogous to the mixed state formalism of the standard formulati…
Reverse Engineering Quantum Field Theory
Robert Oeckl
An approach to the foundations of quantum theory is advertised that proceeds by "reverse engineering" quantum field theory. As a concrete instance of this approach, the general bou…
Free Fermi and Bose Fields in TQFT and GBF
Robert Oeckl
We present a rigorous and functorial quantization scheme for linear fermionic and bosonic field theory targeting the topological quantum field theory (TQFT) that is part of the gen…
Schrödinger-Feynman quantization and composition of observables in general boundary quantum field theory
Robert Oeckl
We show that the Feynman path integral together with the Schrödinger representation gives rise to a rigorous and functorial quantization scheme for linear and affine field theories…
