Abstract

We propose a generalization of the Haag-Kastler axioms for local observables to Lorentzian manifolds. The framework is intended to resolve ambiguities in the construction of quantum field theories on manifolds. As an example we study linear scalar fields for globally hyperbolic manifolds.
