Jacques Bros has greatly advanced our present understanding of rigorous quantum field theory through numerous fundamental contributions. This book arose from an international symposium held in honour of Jacques Bros on the occasion of his 70th birthday, at the Department of Theoretical Physics of the CEA in Saclay, France. The impact of the work of Jacques Bros is evident in several articles in this book. Quantum fields are regarded as genuine mathematical objects, whose various properties and relevant physical interpretations must be studied in a well-defined mathematical framework. The key topics in this volume include analytic structures of Quantum Field Theory (QFT), renormalization group methods, gauge QFT, stability properties and extension of the axiomatic framework, QFT on models of curved spacetimes, QFT on noncommutative Minkowski spacetime.

Iagolnitzer, C.D. Jäkel, C. Kopper, G. Lechner, G. Morchio, U. Moschella, J. Mund, H. Narnhofer, G. Piacitelli, K.-H. Rehren, P.L. Ribeiro, V. Rivasseau, J.E. Roberts, B. Schroer, O. Steinmann, F.
