Understanding the Osterwalder-Schrader conditions as formulated by Glimm and Jaffe

$\newcommand{\real}{\mathrm{real}}$I am having trouble with understanding the axiom (OS3) in this book by Glimm and Jaffe. It defines \begin{equation} \mathcal{A} = \left \{ A(\phi) = \sum_{j = 1}^N c …

Understanding the Osterwalder-Schrader conditions as formulated by Glimm and Jaffe

Since this has confused me multiple times, I write this answer in the hope that it might help others. First, recall that reflection positivity as formulated by Osterwalder and Schrader states that \be …

Fermions, their path integrals and effective actions

I just read the nice exposition Fermionic Path Integral on nLab and began to wonder about some details to which references appear to be lacking. Suppose we live on Euclidean space as in the Osterwalde …

Feynman path integral and Wilsonian renormalization

Everything below is to be viewed in the Euclidean setting with $d$ dimensions and all measures are understood to be Borel measures. The usual problem of Quantum Field Theory is to make sense of Feynma …

Gauge invariance of a QFT path integral

If we consider the usual formal construction of a path integral over fields with gauge symmetries e.g as in Weinbergs "The Quantum Theory of Fields - Volume 2" the notion of gauge invariance is clear …

Bochner-Minlos for moment-generating functions?

It is well-known that the Bochner-Minlos theorem characterises measures on duals of nuclear spaces by their characteristic functions. Is there a similar version for moment-generating functions? I have …
