Each manifold) an operator-algebra for that specific space and to each morphism in the cobordism category (i.e. However, the standard approach to quantum field theory via path-integrals is fraught with mathematical difficulties. Bert Schroer has sent me some notes comparing the Lagrangian path integral and algebraic approaches to quantum field theory, which others may also find interesting. Over the past few decades the powerful methods of statistical physics and Euclidean quantum field theory have moved closer together, with common tools based on the use of path integrals. An alternative to the effective field theory approach to treat ghosts in higher derivative theories is to attempt to integrate them out via the Euclidean path integral formalism. I've just uploaded a review paper to arXiv on the use of path integral and field theory methods for solving stochastic differential equations. World Scientific Lecture Notes in Physics - Vol. Field theory is always OK because classical fields are continuous. The paper can be obtained here. In AQFT There, the path integral is a functor from a cobordism category to C*-algebras, associating to each object of the cobordism category (i.e. String field theory is the attempt to identify this Lagrangian .. This approach was developed in 1964 by Rudolf Haag and Daniel Kastler in "An algebraic approach to quantum field theory", Journal of Mathematical Physics, Bd.5, p.848-861. In an almost unnoticed work (Yeh), the geometric approach developed in bosonic closed string field theory, as described in the previous paragraph, has been generalized to the context of superstring field theory. This Feynman perturbation series may be understood as computing the path integral over the Lagrangian of the given quantum field theory. 'He argues that from the path integrals approach to quantum field theory, Euclidean four dimensional space makes the most sense, and Unitary group U(2) is a proper subset of Special Orthogonal group SO(4).
