Quantum Theory and RelativityArthur Jaffe harvard UniversityCambridge, MA 02138, 1, 2007 Dedicated to George MackeyAbstractElsewhere I describe some personal encounters with George Mackey [31]. Those discussionsoften returned to a common set of questions: Does physics suggest a way to combine Quantum Theory , Relativity , and interaction? To what extent can one formulate such Quantum physics as mathematics? What is the present status of Quantum field Theory ? What new mathematics emerges? What new insight does one apparently require to make further progress?We touch on these topics here, not only outlining some of the technical issues, but also attempt-ing to addresswhyone believes in their IntroductionTwo major themes dominated twentieth century physics: Quantum theoryandrelativity.
