| dc.description | We briefly review the current status of the algebraic approach to quantum field theory on globally hyperbolic spacetimes, both axiomatic -- for general field theories, and constructive -- for a linear Klein-Gordon model. We recall the concept of F-locality, introduced in the latter context in BS Kay: Rev. Math. Phys., Special Issue, 167-195 (1992) and explain how it can be formulated at an axiomatic level for a general field theory (as a condition on algebras-with-net-structure) on both globally hyperbolic and non globally hyperbolic spacetimes. We also discuss the current status of the question whether/when algebras satisfying F-locality can exist for the Klein-Gordon model on spacetimes which are chronology violating. | |
