Abstract

Some facts about von Neumann algebras and finite index inclusions of factors are viewed in the context of local quantum field theory. The possibility of local fields intertwining superselection sectors with braid group statistics is explored. Conformal embeddings and coset models serve as examples. The associated symmetry concept is pointed out.
