There are some incorrect claims and Baez only treats the topic very superfitially. It all looks as a reshaping of stuff has been known for many decades. | |

| Jul 6, 2013 at 13:38 | comment | added | N. Virgo | Ok, you don't want to discuss it, fair enough. But your question sounds like it's close to stuff I'm an expert in, and if it has an answer then I'd estimate I have about a 10-20% probability of at least having some useful insight into it. Since you recently put a bounty on the question I assumed you were keen to get an answer, and given this your unwillingness to enter into a conversation that might lead to one is very confusing. | |
| Jul 6, 2013 at 13:33 | comment | added | Nikolaj-K | You're probably right. | |
| Jul 6, 2013 at 5:19 | comment | added | N. Virgo | In other words, what would you consider to be a suitable space in which to perform such a calculation? Currently your question reads as "I have some very vague ideas about using quantum field theory to solve problems in chemistry", and if you're not willing to be a bit more specific about where your ideas differ from existing approaches I doubt anyone will be able to give you an answer. | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 15:17 | comment | added | N. Virgo | What's a "suitable space", and in what way does Baez fail to write it down? I'm not saying he doesn't, just trying to understand what you're asking for. | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 15:14 | comment | added | Nikolaj-K | Essentially, writing down the suitable space. Or giving a description to go from a detailed physical model to one that looks like computational chemistry in action. | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 15:11 | comment | added | N. Virgo | Just out of curiosity, where do those papers fall short in answering your question? (I'm not sure I understand the question fully.) | |
| Jul 5, 2013 at 15:08 | comment | added | Nikolaj-K | Thanks for the answer. (I know the papers.) (sidenote: If you're interested in networky problems with an applications to physics, on the math board I have an open question http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/420467/what-is-the-function-space-generated-by-addition-and-a-b-mapsto-ab-1-cd which turns out to be tough. My current formulation of a sub-problem is if two sequences of s's and p's can lead to the same resistor.) | |
