Special generalized densities and propagators: A geometric account

Abstract: Starting from a short review of spaces of generalized sections of vector bundles, we give a concise systematic description, in precise geometric terms, of Leray densities, principal value densities, propagators and elementary solutions of field equations in flat spacetime. We then sketch a partly original geometric presentation of free quantum fields and show how propagators arise from their graded commutators in the boson and fermion cases.2010 MSC: 46F12, 35R99, 81T05.

“…A natural Lagrangian yielding a first order generalized Dirac equation can be exhibited; in flat spacetime, a plain wave solution in the main sector Z determines the solution in the ghost sectors. 16 • The electroweak theory can be formulated within two-spinor geometry, without dealing with structure groups, by adding one main ingredient: the isospin bundle I M , a Hermitian bundle with two-dimensional complex fibres. The fermion bundle is then assumed to be the fibred direct product of a right-handed and left-handed sectors, 17 that is…”

“…Moreover, he dealt with the case of electroweak interactions. Additionally, in [10], Canarutto provided a suitable formulation of the fundamental mathematical concepts with respect to quantum field theory. Such a paper presents a natural application of the concept of semi-vector spaces and semi-algebras.…”
