Abstract
For any conformal net, not necessarily rational, we construct the associated Cardy-type conformal field theory on the Minkowski spacetimes for closed strings and for open strings within the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. In addition to verifying some of their basic properties, we prove three forms of Haag duality for multi-double-cones and boundary intervals, interpreted respectively as the Minkowskian versions of modular invariance, the Cardy consistency condition, and the Morita equivalence of boundary field algebras.
