Endomorphisms and automorphisms of locally covariant quantum field theories

CJ Fewster - Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 2013 - World Scientific
In the framework of locally covariant quantum field theory, a theory is described as a functor
from a category of spacetimes to a category of*-algebras. It is proposed that the global …

Galois correspondence and Fourier analysis on local discrete subfactors

M Bischoff, S Del Vecchio, L Giorgetti - Annales Henri Poincaré, 2022 - Springer
Discrete subfactors include a particular class of infinite index subfactors and all finite index
ones. A discrete subfactor is called local when it is braided and it fulfills a commutativity …

Partial wave expansion and Wightman positivity in conformal field theory

NM Nikolov, KH Rehren, IT Todorov - Nuclear Physics B, 2005 - Elsevier

B Bakalov, NM Nikolov, KH Rehren… - … in mathematical physics, 2007 - Springer
The superselection sectors of two classes of scalar bilocal quantum fields in D≥ 4
dimensions are explicitly determined by working out the constraints imposed by unitarity …

Classification of unitary vertex subalgebras and conformal subnets for rank-one lattice chiral CFT models

S Carpi, T Gaudio, R Hillier - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2019 - pubs.aip.org
We provide a complete classification of unitary subalgebras of even rank-one lattice vertex
operator algebras. As a consequence of the correspondence between vertex operator …

Two-dimensional models as testing ground for principles and concepts of local quantum physics

B Schroer - Annals of Physics, 2006 - Elsevier
In the past two-dimensional models of QFT have served as theoretical laboratories for
testing new concepts under mathematically controllable condition. In more recent times low …

Causal posets, loops and the construction of nets of local algebras for QFT

F Ciolli, G Ruzzi, E Vasselli - 2012 - projecteuclid.org
