Outline of Final Research Achievements

Our proposal was focused on the development of new techniques to study properties of quantum field theories (QFT) and constraints on their observables, which could be applied to generic quantum field theories, without the necessity of assuming any special properties such as supersymmetry or integrability. The achievement of this project was to invent, and substantially develop, an entirely new method for systematically approximating observables associate with states and operators carrying nonzero quantum number under a global symmetry. In order to make contact with known results or make possible access by other methods, we have mostly focused our efforts on classes of theories of the greatest possible theoretical interest by other groups in various subfields of physics.
