Abstract

Abstract Quantum fields can be characterized by the set of transition amplitudes {〈0|π(A)|a〉V̶|a,〉∈V} where π(A) is a representation of the field operator algebra in V. This set has to satisfy renormalized energy equations and the elements of this set are called wavefunctions. However, these wavefunctions are not identical with wavefunctions of conventional quantum theory in Fockspace. Thus a theoret­ical interpretation is needed. In the present paper, by means of some theorems a method of normalization and construction of probability densities for these wavefunctions is given, which differs from the method of derivation of the normalization condition for Bethe-Salpeter amplitudes. The method can be applied both to nonrelativistic and relativistic fields with positive definite or indefinite state spaces, provided the renormalized energy equations possess finite solutions.
