Letters in Mathematical Physics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Non-local charges are defined as a natural generalization of standard charges in relativistic quantum field theory. The general form of a non-local charge in terms of asymptotic fields is given and preliminary results on the restrictions imposed on non-local charges in interacting theories are reported [8].
