Recent progress about "modular localization" reveals that, as a result of the S-Matrix in its role of a "relative modular invariant of wedge-localization, one obtains a new non-perturbative constructive setting of local quantum physicis…
Among several ideas which arose as consequences of modular localization there are two proposals which promise to be important for the classification and construction of QFTs. One is based on the observation that wedge-localized algebras may…
The recent concept of modular localization of wedge algebras suggests two methods of classifying and constructing QFTs, one based on particle-like generators of wedge algebras using on-shell concepts (S-matrix, formfactors. crossing…
A new approach to the construction of interacting quantum field theories on two-dimensional Minkowski space is discussed. In this program, models are obtained from a prescribed factorizing S-matrix in two steps. At first, quantum fields…
Recent ideas on modular localization in local quantum physics are used to clarify the relation between on- and off-shell quantities in particle physics; in particular the relation between on-shell crossing symmetry and off-shell Einstein…
The subject of this thesis is a novel construction method for interacting relativistic quantum field theories on two-dimensional Minkowski space. The input in this construction is not a classical Lagrangian, but rather a prescribed…
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…
Starting from a given factorizing S-matrix $S$ in two space-time dimensions, we review a novel strategy to rigorously construct quantum field theories describing particles whose interaction is governed by $S$. The construction procedure is…
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;…
In this paper I continue the study of the new framework of modular localization and its constructive use in the nonperturbative d=1+1 Karowski-Weisz-Smirnov formfactor program. Particular attention is focussed on the existence of semilocal…
The subject of this thesis is the rigorous construction of QFT models with nontrivial interaction. Two different approaches in the framework of AQFT are discussed. On the one hand, an inverse scattering problem is considered. A given…
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…
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…
We give an explicit construction of the quantum-group generators ---local, semi-local, and global --- in terms of the group-valued quantum fields $\tilde g$ and $\tilde g^{-1}$ in the Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten (WZNW) theory. The algebras…
In integrable models of quantum field theory, local fields are normally constructed by means of the bootstrap-formfactor program. However, the convergence of their $n$-point functions is unclear in this setting. An alternative approach uses…
Wigner's irreducible positive energy representations of the Poincare group are often used to give additional justifications for the Lagrangian quantization formalism of standard QFT. Here we study another more recent aspect. We explain in…
Algebraic quantum field theory provides a general, mathematically precise description of the structure of quantum field theories, and then draws out consequences of this structure by means of various mathematical tools -- the theory of…
Well defined quantum field theory (QFT) for the electroweak force including quantum electrodynamics (QED) and the weak force is obtained by considering natural unitary representations of a group $K\subset U(2,2)$, where $K$ is locally…

Modular localization is the concise conceptual formulation of causal localization in the setting of local quantum physics. Unlike QM it does not refer to individual operators but rather to ensembles of observables which share the same…
