Abstract Correlators of unitary quantum field theories in Lorentzian signature obey certain analyticity and positivity properties. For interacting unitary CFTs in more than two dimensions, we show that these properties impose general constraints on families of minimal twist operators that appear in the OPEs of primary operators. In particular, we rederive and extend the convexity theorem which states that for the family of minimal twist operators with even spins appearing in the reflection-symmetric OPE of any scalar primary, twist must be a monotonically increasing convex function of the spin. Our argument is completely non-perturbative and it also applies to the OPE of nonidentical scalar primaries in unitary CFTs, constraining the twist of spinning operators appearing in the OPE. Finally, we argue that the same methods also impose constraints on the Regge behavior of certain CFT correlators.

Poincaré invariant quantum field theories can be formulated on noncommutative planes if the statistics of fields is twisted. This is equivalent to state that the coproduct on the Poincaré group is suitably twisted. In the present work we present a twisted Poincaré invariant quantum field theory at finite temperature. For that we use the formalism of thermofield dynamics (TFD). This TFD formalism is extend to incorporate interacting fields. This is a nontrivial step, since the separation in positive and negative frequency terms is no longer valid in TFD. In particular, we prove the validity of Wick's theorem for twisted scalar quantum field at finite temperature.

We exhibit a class of quantum field theories where particles interact with pair potentials and for which the time evolution exists in the Heisenberg representation. The essential condition for existence is stability in the thermodynamic sense and this is achieved by having the interaction fall off with the relative momenta of the particles. This can be done in a Galilei-invariant manner. We show that these systems have some mixing properties which one postulates in ergodic theory but which are difficult to prove for classical systems.
