Scalar field theory is a theoretical framework in physics that describes fields characterized by scalar quantities, which are single-valued and have no directional dependence. In contrast to vector fields, which possess both magnitude and direction (such as the electromagnetic field), scalar fields are represented by a single numerical value at each point in space and time. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Field and Scalar Values**: A scalar field assigns a scalar value to every point in space.
