Abstract
What are weak mappings? Weak mappings are defined by mappings between quantum field theoretic functional states which were introduced in Chapter 3 and we regard weak mapping as a suitable means for deriving effective quantum field dynamics. The attribute “weak” is borrowed from the topological concept of the weak topology and means that these mappings are concerned with matrix elements of operators. In contrast to this are the methods which use operator products for the description of composite particles and which will be discussed in Chapter 11.
