	Wightman axioms - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In physics the Wightman axioms are an attempt at a mathematically rigorous formulation of quantum field theory.
		Arthur Wightman formulated the axioms in the early 1950s but they were first published only in 1964, after Haag-Ruelle scattering theory affirmed their significance.
		Basically, the idea of the Wightman axioms is there is a Hilbert space upon which the Poincaré group acts unitarily.

	A. S. Wightman, mathematical physicist (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Arthur Wightman founded modern mathematical physics with his work from about 1954 on the formulation of quantum field theory.
		He decided that a deeper use of mathematics is needed, and formulated the Wightman axioms of relativistic quantum field theory, inspired by the idea that the theory should be a development of
		Wightman introduced the idea that that field should be a distribution in the sense of L.

	Charles Billings Wightman
		Charles Billings Wightman, and Charles' brothers, William and Erastus and their families, who had come to Kirtland a little later, were ordained Elders in 1836, received their anointings (a partial endowment), assisted in building the Kirtland Temple, and participated in its dedication in 1836.
		They were the last of the Saints to leave Kirtland and would have left earlier, except that his mother, Amy Sholes Wightman, had fallen and broken her hip, which made it impossible for her to travel.
		Charles Billings Wightman died 31 Mar 1895 in Payson at age 79, and Mary Ann Dixon Wightman died 10 Nov 1903 in Payson at age 80.

		I begin with comments on a different statement by Derrida made in 1993 by Arthur Wightman, a brilliant theoretical physicist, in his "post-banquet" talk at a conference at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
		It is, however, ignored by Wightman and by John Ellis in Against Deconstruction, from which (rather than from Derrida's Dissemination) Wightman quotes or misquotes, since Ellis does not omit the negative.
		Their extraordinary harm would not be diminished, even if such critics had Wightman's charm--or his wit and style--which most of them do not.

	Quantum Field Theory (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		A very prominent early attempt to axiomatise QFT is Arthur Wightman's field axiomatics.
		Wightman's smeared out field operators are unbounded which makes the approach cumbersome from a mathematical point of view and this is one of the differences to the approach I will introduce next where only bounded operators are considered.
		Early pioneering monographs on axiomatic QFT are Streater and Wightman 1964 and Bogolubov et al.

		I was awarded the SIAM Student Paper Prize at the SIAM Annual Meeting in Montréal, and the Second Prize in the Leslie Fox Prize in Numerical Analysis, in Cambridge, UK.
		My research advisor is Jerrold Marsden, and his advisor was Arthur Wightman, who was in turn advised by John Wheeler.
		My current research is on the Foundations of Computational Geometric Mechanics, which is concerned with developing the underlying mathematical infrastructure in discrete geometry to systematically apply the techniques of geometric mechanics in the construction of numerical algorithms.

		Furthermore, Axiomatic Field Theory shows that a number of physically important predictions of quantum field theory are mathematical consequences of the axioms.
		Here Raymond Streater and Arthur Wightman treat only results that can be rigorously proved, and these are presented in an elegant style that makes them available to a broad range of physics and theoretical mathematics.
		This advanced book exposes the mathematical framework of quantum field theory, as discovered by Wightman, who explained, in an article published in Physics Today, that he was led to such abstract language in order to understand the forces that bind the deuteron nucleus!

		They called it that either because it was the farthest north that they had ventured or because they found the stream's water particularly cold.
		In 1964, Arthur F. Wightman, the New Brunswick member on the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographical Names, gave the name North Pole Mountain to a 210-metre mountain at the head of the stream.
		And then, keeping in mind the North Pole's most famous resident, he named an adjoining peak Mount St. Nicholas.

		In the first place there is the "time bomb" aspect.
		For over ten years this paper remained unnoticed by most physicists and, to my knowledge, it took the enthusiasm and missionary zeal of Arthur Wightman to explode it finally in the early 50's.
		More amazing still: in all this long time there was no similar independent work on these questions, which in retrospect appear to us now as the most logical, the first questions anybody should ask who wants to treat relativistic quantum theory.
