From the modern viewpoint and by the geometric method, this paper provides a concise foundation for the quantum theory of massless spin-3/2 field in Minkowski spacetime, which includes both the one-particle's quantum mechanics and the many-particle's quantum field theory. The explicit result presented here is useful for the investigation of spin-3/2 field in various circumstances such as supergravity, twistor programme, Casimir effect, and quantum inequality.

Efficiently bounding large determinants is an essential step in non-relativistic constructive quantum field theory to prove the absolute convergence of the perturbation expansion of correlation functions in terms of powers of the strength [Formula: see text] of the interparticle interaction. We provide, for large determinants of fermionic covariances, sharp bounds which hold for all (bounded and unbounded, the latter not being limited to semibounded) one-particle Hamiltonians. We find the smallest universal determinant bound to be exactly [Formula: see text]. In particular, the convergence of perturbation series at [Formula: see text] of any fermionic quantum field theory is ensured if the matrix entries (with respect to some fixed orthonormal basis) of the covariance and the interparticle interaction decay sufficiently fast. Our proofs use Hölder inequalities for general non-commutative [Formula: see text]-spaces derived by Araki and Masuda [Positive cones and [Formula: see text]-spaces for von Neumann algebras, Publ. RIMS[Formula: see text] Kyoto Univ. 18 (1982) 339–411].

Abstract Dynamics of quantum field theory can be formulated by functional equations. To develop a complete functional quantum theory one has to describe the physical information by functional operations only. Such operations have been defined in preceding papers. To apply these operations to physical problems, the corresponding functionals have to be known. Therefore in this paper calculational procedures for functionals are discussed. As high energy phenomena are of interest, the calculational procedures are given for spinor field functionals. Especially a method for the calculation of stationary and Fermion-Fermion scattering functionals is proposed.
