Path Integral Formulation - Localization

Localization

The path integrals are usually thought of as being the sum of all paths through an infinite space-time. However, in Local quantum field theory we would restrict everything to lie within a finite causally complete region, for example inside a double light-cone. This gives a more mathematically precise and physically rigorous definition of quantum field theory.
