In this article Lechner introduces and analyzes a variety of deformations of known quantum field theories leading to new models with non-trivial interaction in a space-time of arbitrary dimension. The result shows that it is even possible to obtain interacting local fields from non-interacting models. Still, the obtained models are not really realistic, since particle production is ruled out here by the relatively simple form of the deformations, termed multiplicative deformations. In two space-time dimensions they generate in fact integrable models with some non-trivial S-matrix. This suggests that the set of integrable models in higher dimensions is rather large. To obtain non-trivial interaction admitting particle production one needs to replace these simple deformations by integral operators. Deformations which preserve Poincare covariance and localization in wedges are a novel tool. Here one starts from a given vacuum, Wightman functions and the Borchers-Uhlman algebra, although it seems desirable to leave the Wightman-Borchers-Uhlman formalism. This has actually been achieved in the case of so-called warped convolutions which may be applied to any quantum field theory containing a vacuum. A generalized algebraic deformation is currently under investigation. | |||

In this article Lechner introduces and analyzes a variety of deformations of known quantum field theories leading to new models with non-trivial interaction in a space-time of arbitrary dimension. The result shows that it is even possible to obtain interacting local fields from non-interacting models. Still, the obtained models are not really realistic, since particle production is ruled out here by the relatively simple form of the deformations, termed multiplicative deformations. In two space-time dimensions they generate in fact integrable models with some non-trivial S-matrix. This suggests that the set of integrable models in higher dimensions is rather large. To obtain non-trivial interaction admitting particle production one needs to replace these simple deformations by integral operators. Deformations which preserve Poincare covariance and localization in wedges are a novel tool. Here one starts from a given vacuum, Wightman functions and the Borchers-Uhlman algebra, although it seems desirable to leave the Wightman-Borchers-Uhlman formalism. This has actually been achieved in the case of so-called warped convolutions which may be applied to any quantum field theory containing a vacuum. A generalized algebraic deformation is currently under investigation.
