We develop a quantization scheme for Maxwell's equations without source on an arbitrary four dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime. The field strength tensor is the key dynamical object and it is not assumed a priori that it descends from a vector potential. It is shown that, in general, the associated field algebra can contain a non trivial centre and, on account of this, such a theory cannot be described within the framework of general local covariance unless further restrictive assumptions on the topology of the spacetime are made.

What is electric charge?: Charge as a local observable in relativistic quantum field theory
The paper defines a scope-local charge observable Q_ζ(P) on the CAR algebra and computes a prior conditional probability formula for atomic scopes, but leaves the empirical meaning of 'scope' open.

Measurements in stochastic gravity and thermal variance
Thermal photon fluctuations in a curved spacetime generate metric variance that, in the Fewster-Verch measurement scheme, equals the stochastic gravity noise kernel exactly.

On Maxwell's Equations on Globally Hyperbolic Spacetimes with Timelike Boundary
Maxwell k-form solution spaces and observable algebras are constructed on globally hyperbolic spacetimes with timelike boundary, under a partially proven assumption on the existence of Green operators.

The Fock Space Dynamics of Causal Fermion Systems: Non-Abelian Gauge Fields
A limiting case of the causal action principle for causal fermion systems yields the Fock-space dynamics and Feynman diagrams of pQFT including non-abelian gauges and Dirac fields.
