Physics:Composite field
From HandWiki
Short description: Field composed from other elementary fields
In quantum field theory, a composite field is a field defined in terms of other more "elementary" fields. It might describe a composite particle (bound state) or it might not.
It might be local, or it might be nonlocal. However, "quantum fields do not exist as a point taken in isolation," so "local" does not mean literally a single point.[1]
Composite fields use a very specific kind of statistics, called "duality and arbitrary statistics".[2]
Under Noether's theorem, Noether fields are often composite fields,[3] and they are local.
