Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

We present a construction of the Wigner function for a bosonic quantum field theory that has well-defined ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) properties. Our construction uses the local mode formalism in algebraic quantum field theory that is valid in any globally hyperbolic curved spacetimes, i.e., without invoking the path integral formalism. The idea is to build $N$ quantum harmonic oscillators degrees of freedom from $2N$ smeared field operators and use them to "tile" a Cauchy surface of the spacetime manifold. The smallest support of the smearing functions that define each local mode define the UV scale and the number of modes local modes fix the IR scale. This construction can be viewed as a form of "covariant discretization" of the quantum field in curved spacetimes, since the tiling of the Cauchy surface does not depend on any choice of coordinate systems or foliation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
