[16a-A201-2] What is Off-shell Science? -From Re-examination of Fundamental Notions to Category-algebraic Approach-

〇Hayato Saigo¹ (1.Nagahama Inst. of Bio-Sci. and Tech.)

Keywords:Off-shell Science, category algebra, state on category

In this talk, we will address the big question of what is off-shell science. After re-examinateing the basic concepts of "system", "environment", "physical quantity", "state", "free particle", "on-shell", "off-shell", etc., we will discuss the approach to off-shell science based on category algebras and states on categories, as well as the future direction of off-shell science.
