Wightman axioms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1924 words)
In physics the Wightman axioms are an attempt at a mathematically rigorous formulation of quantum field theory.
Arthur Wightman formulated the axioms in the early 1950s but they were first published only in 1964, after Haag-Ruelle scattering theory affirmed their significance.
Basically, the idea of the Wightman axioms is there is a Hilbert space upon which the Poincaré group acts unitarily.
