Abstract

We prove general reflection positivity results on Riemannian manifolds for both scalar fields and Dirac fields, and comment on applications to quantum field theory. As another application, we prove the inequality CD⩽CN between Dirichlet and Neumann covariance operators on a manifold with a reflection.
