| Oct 25, 2021 at 18:25 | comment | added | Ethan Sussman | I believe the only relevance of the masslessness would be to the rate of convergence in Wightman's cluster axiom --- in a theory with a mass gap, the convergence should be exponentially fast, while the $S_N$ only satisfy the Euclidean cluster axiom with a polynomial rate of convergence. | |
| Oct 25, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | Ethan Sussman | @Alex I believe the Wightman axioms are expected to apply regardless of the presence of a mass gap, though it is certainly the case that the most famous examples of rigorously constructed interacting QFTs have mass gaps. | |
| Oct 25, 2021 at 17:19 | comment | added | AlexArvanitakis | I think I recall that the Wightman axioms are relevant for mass-gapped theories so perhaps it's worth checking the mass assumption in those axioms. If it's nonzero mass then all CFTs are excluded. (It could also be the case that the only models that can be described by the axioms are massive and my recollecition is faulty | |
