Regular one-parameter groups, reflection positivity and their application to Hankel operators and standard subspaces
Abstract
Standard subspaces are a well-studied object in algebraic quantum field theory (AQFT). Given a standard subspace of a Hilbert space , one is interested in unitary one-parameter groups on with for every . If is a non-degenerate standard pair on , i.e. the self-adjoint infinitesimal generator of is a positive operator with trivial kernel, two classical results are given by Borchers' Theorem, relating non-degenerate standard pairs to positive energy representations of the affine group and the Longo-Witten Theorem, stating the the semigroup of unitary endomorphisms of can be identified with the semigroup of symmetric operator-valued inner functions on the upper half-plane. In this thesis, we prove results similar to the theorems of Borchers and of Longo-Witten for a more general framework of unitary one-parameter groups without the assumption that their infinitesimal generator is positive. We replace this assumption by the weaker assumption that the triple is a so-called real regular one-parameter group.
