Weil reciprocity law

Weil reciprocity is a theorem of André Weil about the quotient field K(C) of an algebraic curve C over an algebraically closed field K.

The following 2 articles make parallel between some notions of QFT and of number theory and in particular about the analogy between the Weil reciprocity law for function fields and the Takahashi-Ward identities of quantum field theory:
