Quantization of multidimensional variational principles
Abstract
We construct a mathematical version of quantum field theory. It assigns to a multidimensional variational principle an associative algebra which is a quantization of the Poisson algebra of classical field theory observables. For free scalar field and for the Dirichlet principle, this construction yields free algebraic quantum field theory and free field representation in two dimensional conformal field theory.
