Event details

Local quantum field theory (LQFT) is an axiomatic formulation of QFT which provides a powerful framework from which non-perturbative questions can be addressed. I will outline some of the applications of this approach, including shedding new light on the spin structure of hadrons and the nature of confinement in QCD.
