The exponential of the two-dimensional massless scalar field as an infrared Jaffe field (Q1106436)

The construction of the Wick exponential of the massless scalar field in two dimensions as an operator valued distribution is discussed. The problem is solved by referring to a Hilbert space of states (Krein space) which can be associated to the correlation functions of the massless scalar field. It is shown that the exponential Wick power series converges strongly on a dense domain of the Krein space to a local field operator, provided that the Wick powers are smeared with test functions satisfying some growth conditions in configuration space. These conditions are analogous to the high energy bounds previously introduced by Jaffe for the definition of strictly localizable fields. In this case, it is found that the Wick exponentials are strictly localizable in momentum space.
