Selected writings

On non-perturbative quantum field theory:

• Gerard ’t Hooft, Arthur Jaffe, Gerhard Mack, P. K. Mitter, Raymond Stora (eds.) Nonperturbative Quantum Field Theory, NATO Science Series B 185 (1988) [[doi:10.1007/978-1-4613-0729-7](https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4613-0729-7)]

On the relation between the practice of mathematics and physics (for historical context see Hitchin 20, Sec. 8):

• Arthur Jaffe, Frank Quinn, “Theoretical Mathematics”: Towards a cultural synthesis of mathematics and theoretical physics, Bulletin of the AMS, Volume 29,Number 1, July 1993 (arXiv:math/9307227)

  we claim that the role of rigorous proof in mathematics is functionally analogous to the role of experiment in the natural sciences (Jaffe-Quinn 93, p. 2)

On the mass gap-problem in Yang-Mills theory:

• Arthur Jaffe, Edward Witten, Quantum Yang-Mills theory (2000) [pdf]

• constructive quantum field theory
