For a vertex operator algebra $V$, one may naturally define spaces of conformal blocks following a construction of Frenkel-Ben-Zvi generalized by Damiolini-Gibney-Tarasca. If $V$ is strongly rational, these spaces of conformal blocks form…
The local logarithmic conformal field theory corresponding to the triplet algebra at c=-2 is constructed. The constraints of locality and crossing symmetry are explored in detail, and a consistent set of amplitudes is found. The spectrum of…
In this paper it is shown that for locally trivial complex analytic morphisms between some reduced spaces the Relative Riemann-Hilbert Theorem still holds up to torsion, i.e. tame flat relative connections on torsion-free sheaves are in…
A study of the thermal properties of two-dimensional topological lattice models is presented. This work is relevant to assess the usefulness of these systems as a quantum memory. For our purposes, we use the topological mutual information…
We describe conformal defects of $p$ dimensions in a free scalar theory on a $d$-dimensional flat space as boundary conditions on the conformally flat space $\mathbb{H}^{p+1}\times \mathbb{S}^{d-p-1}$. We classify two types of boundary…
In the first part, we have constructed several families of interacting wedge-local nets of von Neumann algebras. In particular, there has been discovered a family of models based on the endomorphisms of the U(1)-current algebra of…
The goal of the present paper is to provide a mathematically rigorous foundation to certain aspects of rational orbifold conformal field theory, in other words the theory of rational vertex operator algebras and their automorphisms. Under a…
This thesis contains results relevant for two different classes of conformal field theory. We partly treat rational conformal field theory, but also derive results that aim at a better understanding of logarithmic conformal field theory.…
Form factor sequences of an integrable QFT can be defined axiomatically as solutions of a system of recursive functional equations, known as ``form factor equations''. We show that their solution can be replaced with the study of the…
This work concerns finite free complexes over commutative noetherian rings, in particular over group algebras of elementary abelian groups. The main contribution is the construction of complexes such that the total rank of their underlying…
Under natural conditions (such as split property and geometric modular action of wedge algebras) it is shown that the unitary equivalence class of the net of local (von Neumann) algebras in the vacuum sector associated to double cones with…
A convenient framework to treat massless two-dimensional scattering theories has been established by Buchholz. In this framework, we show that the asymptotic algebra and the scattering matrix completely characterize the given theory under…
We prove that for any infinite, maximal amenable subgroup $H$ in a hyperbolic group $G$, the von Neumann subalgebra $LH$ is maximal amenable inside $LG$. It provides many new, explicit examples of maximal amenable subalgebras in II$_1$…
In his study of amenable unitary representations, M. E. B. Bekka asked if there is an analogue for such representations of the remarkable fixed-point property for amenable groups. In this paper, we prove such a fixed-point theorem in the…
Several techniques together with some partial answers are given to the questions of factoriality, type classification and fullness for amalgamated free product von Neumann algebras.
Building on Lin's breakthrough MIP$^{co}$ = coRE and an encoding of non-local games as universal sentences in the language of tracial von Neumann algebras, we show that locally universal tracial von Neumann algebras have undecidable…
We investigate orbifold constructions of conformal field theories from lattices by no-fixed-point automorphisms (NFPA's) $Z_p$ for $p$ prime, $p>2$, concentrating on the case $p=3$. Explicit expressions are given for most of the relevant…
We review a framework for the conformal bootstrap that does not rely on positivity and treats the infinite tower of high-dimension OPE contributions to conformal correlators through dispersion relations and neural networks. We apply it to…
A family of quantum fields is said to be strongly local if it generates a local net of von Neumann algebras. There are few methods of showing directly strong locality of a quantum field. Among them, linear energy bounds are the most widely…
We study topology in Quantum Chromodynamics at high temperatures by means of lattice calculations. Simulations are performed with $N_f=2+1+1$ Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist with physical quark masses, and temperatures…
