Abstract

We establish the Haag–Kastler axioms for a class of interacting quantum field theories on the two-dimensional de Sitter space, which satisfy finite speed of light. The \({\mathscr {P}} (\varphi )_2\) model constructed in [3], describing massive scalar bosons with polynomial interactions, provides an example.
