In this article we give new examples of models in boundary quantum field theory, i.e. local time-translation covariant nets of von Neumann algebras, using a recent construction of Longo and Witten, which uses a local conformal net A on the…
Convergence and analytic extension are of fundamental importance in the mathematical construction and study of conformal field theory. We review some main convergence results, conjectures and problems in the construction and study of…
In this paper we develop further the relation between conformal four-point blocks involving external spinning fields and Calogero-Sutherland quantum mechanics with matrix-valued potentials. To this end, the analysis of…
We introduce the concept of crossed product of a product system by a locally compact group. We prove that the crossed product of a row-finite and faithful product system by an amenable group is also a row-finite and faithful product system.…
Conformal blocks for correlation functions of tensor operators play an increasingly important role for the conformal bootstrap programme. We develop a universal approach to such spinning blocks through the harmonic analysis of certain…
We show how methods from K-theory of operator algebras can be applied in a completely algebraic setting to define a bivariant, matrix-stable, homotopy-invariant, excisive K-theory of algebras over a fixed unital ground ring H, kk_*(A,B),…
C denotes either the conformal group in 3+1 dimensions, or in one chiral dimension. Let U be a unitary, strongly continuous representation of C satisfying the spectrum condition and inducing, by its adjoint action, automorphisms of a…
Let $\Uq$ be a quantum group. Regarding a (noncommutative) space with $\Uq$-symmetry as a $\Uq$-module algebra $A$, we may think of equivariant vector bundles on $A$ as projective $A$-modules with compatible $\Uq$-action. We construct an…
By a [$K$-]approximate subring of a ring we mean an additively symmetric subset $X$ such that $X \cdot X \cup (X + X)$ is covered by finitely many [resp.\ $K$] additive translates of $X$. We prove a structure theorem for finite approximate…
If the $\ell$-adic cohomology of a projective smooth variety, defined over a local field $K$ with finite residue field $k$, is supported in codimension $\ge 1$, then every model over the ring of integers of $K$ has a $k$-rational point. For…
This article reviews some recent progress in our understanding of the structure of Rational Conformal Field Theories, based on ideas that originate for a large part in the work of A. Ocneanu. The consistency conditions that generalize…
We prove that united K-theory is a surjective functor from the category of real simple purely infinite C*-algebras to the cateogry of countable acyclic CRT-modules.
We show that every Fell bundle B over a locally compact group G is "proper" in a sense recently introduced by Ng. Combining our results with those of Ng we show that if B satisfies the "approximation property" then it is amenable in the…
We determine the $K$-theory of the $C^{*}$-algebra $C(SU_{-1}(2))$ and describe its spectrum. Moreover, we exhibit a continuous $C^{*}$-bundle over $[-1,0)$ whose fibre at $q$ is isomorphic to $C(SU_{q}(2))$.
This paper examines and strengthens the Cuntz-Thomsen picture of equivariant Kasparov theory for arbitrary second-countable locally compact groups, in which elements are given by certain pairs of cocycle representations between C*-dynamical…
We present a conformal field theory calculation of four-point and three-point correlation functions for the bosonic twist fields arising at the intersections of D-branes wrapping (supersymmetric) homology cycles of Type II orientifold…
Modulo the ideal generated by the derivative fields, the normal ordered product of holomorphic fields in two-dimensional conformal field theory yields a commutative and associative algebra. The zero mode algebra can be regarded as a…

Given a compact Lie group $G$ acting on a space $X$, the classical Atiyah-Segal completion theorem identifies topological $K$-theory of the homotopy quotient $X/G$ with an explicit completion of $G$-equivariant topological $K$-theory of…
This is a survey article with the goal to advertise spectrum valued versions of $K$- and $KK$- theory for $C^{*}$-algebras via a (stable and symmetric monoidal) $\infty$-categorical enhancement of Kasparov's classical $KK$-theory. The main…
