ON STOCHASTIC EINSTEIN LOCALITY IN ALGEBRAIC RELATIVISTIC QUANTUM-FIELD THEORY

This paper assesses Miklos Redei's [1991] proof of the proposition tha t algebraic relativistic quantum field theory is stochastic Einstein l ocal. The conclusion is that either Redei's proof is spurious, in that it does not really prove what it intends to establish, or that the pr oof is fallacious. The paper is self-contained in the sense that the f ew ingredients of algebraic quantum theory that go into Redei's proof are first summed up. Then Hellman's definition of stochastic Einstein locality is discussed, a detailed exposition is offered of Redei's pro of, and finally the author's refutation is explicated.
