 \subsection{Introduction}

A {\em canonical quantum dynamics (CQD)} is determined by the choice of the physical (quantized) `vacuum' state (which is the ground state); thus, the assumption that a \htmladdnormallink{field}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/CosmologicalConstant.html} $\mathcal{F}_{Qc}$ shares the ground state with a free field $\mathcal{F}_{0}$, implies that $\mathcal{F}_{Qc}$ is itself free (or admits a Fock \htmladdnormallink{representation}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/CategoricalGroupRepresentation.html}). This basic assumption is expressed in a mathematically precise form by Haag's theorem in `\htmladdnormallink{local quantum physics}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/PureState.html}'.
On the other hand, interacting \htmladdnormallink{quantum fields}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/CosmologicalConstant.html} generate non-Fock representations of the commutation and anti-commutation relationships (\htmladdnormallink{CAR}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/RepresentationsOfCanonicalAntiCommutationRelationsCAR.html}).


\subsection{Haag Theorem}

\begin{theorem} (The Haag theorem in \htmladdnormallink{quantum field theory}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/SpaceTimeQuantizationInQuantumGravityTheories.html})

Any canonical quantum field, $\mathcal{F}_{Qc}$ that for a fixed
value of time $t$ is:
\begin{enumerate}
\item irreducible, and
\item has a cyclic vector, $\Omega$ that is
\begin{itemize}
\item $\mathcal{F}_{Qc}$ has a \htmladdnormallink{Hamiltonian}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Hamiltonian2.html} \htmladdnormallink{generator}{http://planetphysics.us/encyclopedia/Generator.html} of time translations, and
\item it is unique as a translation-invariant state;
\end{itemize}

and also,
\item is unitarily equivalent to a free field in the Fock representation at the time instant, $t$,
\end{enumerate}

is itself a \emph{free field}.
\end{theorem}
