Remarks on QFT in the Coordinate Space

Abstract

Generators of the Poincar\'e group, for a free massive scalar field, are usually expressed in the momentum space. In this work we perform a transformation of these generators into the coordinate space. This (spatial)-position space is spanned by eigenvectors of the Newton-Wigner-Pryce operator. The motivation is a deeper understanding of the commutative spatial coordinate space in QFT, in order to investigate the non-commutative version thereof.
