Nets of subfactors

R Longo, KH Rehren - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 1995 - World Scientific
A subtheory of a quantum field theory specifies von Neumann subalgebras (the
'observables' in the space-time region) of the von Neumann algebras (the'field'localized in) …

On revolutionizing quantum field theory with Tomita's modular theory

HJ Borchers - Journal of mathematical Physics, 2000 - pubs.aip.org
In the book of Haag [Local Quantum Physics (Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1992)] about local
quantum field theory the main results are obtained by the older methods of C*-and W …

Modular structure and duality in conformal quantum field theory

R Brunetti, D Guido, R Longo - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 1993 - Springer
Making use of a recent result of Borchers, an algebraic version of the Bisognano-Wichmann
theorem is given for conformal quantum field theories, ie the Tomita-Takesaki modular group …

Operator algebras and conformal field theory

F Gabbiani, J Fröhlich - Communications in mathematical physics, 1993 - Springer
We define and study two-dimensional, chiral conformal field theory by the methods of
algebraic field theory. We start by characterizing the vacuum sectors of such theories and …

Modular invariance as completeness

V Benedetti, H Casini, Y Kawahigashi, R Longo… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We review the physical meaning of modular invariance for unitary conformal quantum field
theories in d= 2. For quantum field theory models, while T invariance is necessary for …

Superselection sectors with braid group statistics and exchange algebras II: Geometric aspects and conformal covariance

K Fredenhagen, KH Rehren… - Reviews in Mathematical …, 1992 - World Scientific
The general theory of superselection sectors is shown to provide almost all the structure
observed in two-dimensional conformal field theories. Its application to two-dimensional …

Classification of local conformal nets. Case c< 1

Y Kawahigashi, R Longo - Annals of mathematics, 2004 - JSTOR
We completely classify diffeomorphism covariant local nets of von Neumann algebras on the
circle with central charge c less than 1. The irreducible ones are in bijective correspondence …

[BOOK][B] From vertex operator algebras to conformal nets and back

We consider unitary simple vertex operator algebras whose vertex operators satisfy certain
energy bounds and a strong form of locality and call them strongly local. We present a …

Quantum energy inequalities in two-dimensional conformal field theory

CJ Fewster, S Hollands - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2005 - World Scientific
Quantum energy inequalities (QEIs) are state-independent lower bounds on weighted
averages of the stress-energy tensor, and have been established for several free quantum …

Categories of quantum liquids II

L Kong, H Zheng - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
We continue to develop the theory of separable higher categories, including center functors,
higher centralizers, modular extensions and group theoretical higher fusion categories …
