GENERAL QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES AND STRICT LOCALITY
Abstract
A class of general quantum field theories without explicit use of fields A(x) is defined by a set of postulates for the von Neumann algebras R of local observables. The vacuum state is cyclic with respect to any R, and the Borchers tube theorem is shown to hold. Some R are factors and not of finite type. A property of local observables called strict locality is formulated and expressed by means of a necessary and sufficient condition for the algebras R. It is proved for finite regions.
