Making use of a recent result of Borchers, an algebraic version of the Bisognano-Wichmann theorem is given for conformal quantum field theories, i.e. the Tomita-Takesaki modular group associated with the von Neumann algebra of a wedge…
A spin-statistics theorem and a PCT theorem are obtained in the context of the superselection sectors in Quantum Field Theory on a 4-dimensional space-time. Our main assumption is the requirement that the modular groups of the von Neumann…
The geometric action of modular groups for wedge regions (Bisognano-Wichmann property) is derived from the principles of local quantum physics for a large class of Poincare covariant models in d=4. As a consequence, the CPT theorem holds…
We discuss the Bisognano-Wichmann property for local Poincar\'e covariant nets of standard subspaces. We give a sufficient algebraic condition on the covariant representation ensuring the Bisognano-Wichmann and Duality properties without…

Within the setting of a recently proposed model of quantum fields on noncommutative Minkowski spacetime, the consequences of the consistent application of the proper, untwisted Poincare group as the symmetry group are investigated. The…
The Tomita-Takesaki modular groups and conjugations for the observable algebras of space-like wedges and the vacuum state are computed for translationally covariant, but possibly not Lorentz covariant, generalized free quantum fields in…
We consider a net of *-algebras, locally around any point of observation, equipped with a natural partial order related to the isotony property. Assuming the underlying manifold of the net to be a differentiable, this net shall be…
We propose a framework for the free field construction of algebras of local observables which uses as an input the Bisognano-Wichmann relations and a representation of the Poincare' group on the one-particle Hilbert space. The abstract real…
We consider a model of the classical spinning particle in which the coadjoint orbits of the Poincare group are parametrized by two pairs of canonically conjugate four vectors, one representing the standard position and momentum variables…
The Bisognano-Wichmann and Haag duality properties for algebraic quantum field theories are often studied using the powerful tools of Tomita-Takesaki modular theory for nets of operator algebras. In this article, we study analogous…
Within the algebraic setting of quantum field theory, a condition is given which implies that the intersection of algebras generated by field operators localized in wedge--shaped regions of two--dimensional Minkowski space is non--trivial;…
A condition of geometric modular action is proposed as a selection principle for physically interesting states on general space-times. This condition is naturally associated with transformation groups of partially ordered sets and provides…
In the first part, the second quantization procedure and the free Bosonic scalar field will be introduced, and the axioms for quantum fields and nets of observable algebras will be discussed. The second part is mainly devoted to an…
We derive manifestly covariant actions of spinning particles starting from coadjoint orbits of isometry groups, by using Hamiltonian reductions. We show that the defining conditions of a classical Lie group can be treated as Hamiltonian…
Deformations of quantum field theories which preserve Poincar\'e covariance and localization in wedges are a novel tool in the analysis and construction of model theories. Here a general scenario for such deformations is discussed, and an…
