Abstract
This paper examines the axioms of algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT) that aim to characterize the theory as one that implements relativistic causation. I suggest that the spectrum condition (SC), microcausality (MC), and primitive causality axioms (PC), taken individually, fall short of fulfilling this goal against what some philosophers have claimed. Instead, I will show that the “local primitive causality” (LPC) condition captures each axiom’s advantages. However, this is only the case because SC, MC, and PC, taken together, imply LPC, as I will show from a construction by Haag and Schroer (1962).
