On the General Theory of Quantized Fields

  • Conference paper
Mathematical Physics X

Abstract

The term “General Theory of Quantized Fields”, replacing the synonymous but somewhat misleading term “Axiomatic Field Theory”, is to my knowledge due to Res Jost. He was one of the great pioneers in our field, and I dedicate this lecture to his memory. What is the aim of the general theory of quantized fields?
