Axiomatic Quantum Field Theory
Why is it interesting?
It is well known that people working at the frontiers of physics often don't know what they are talking about. This statement has at least two meanings. First, the experi- mental evidence available may be incomplete or ambiguous and confusing. Second, the theoretical concepts employed may not have received a precise formulation. In this talk, I will give arguments for the position that it can be useful to refine a theoretical framework to the point at which it is a mathematically precise and consistent scheme, even if, as is sometimes the case, the resulting conceptual frame has physical deficiencies. I will offer several examples to illustrate the point. Of course, it is only occasionally that this sort of enterprise can help in the hunt for the Green Lion, the ultimate Lagrangian of the world.

Explanations in this section should contain no formulas, but instead colloquial things like you would hear them during a coffee break or at a cocktail party.
Student
In this section things should be explained by analogy and with pictures and, if necessary, some formulas.

The motto in this section is: the higher the level of abstraction, the better.
