We define and study a certain relative tensor product of subfactors over a modular tensor category. This gives a relative tensor product of two completely rational heterotic full local conformal nets with trivial superselection structures…
We review the framework subfactors provide for understanding modular invariants. We discuss the structure of a generalized Longo-Rehren subfactor and the relationship between the coupling matrices of such subfactors, modular invariance and…
In this lecture we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. Our analysis is based on an approach to modular invariants using braided sector induction…
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…
In this Article, several aspects of the asymptotic dynamics of finite-dimensional open quantum systems are explored. First, after recalling a structure theorem for the peripheral map, we discuss sufficient conditions and a characterization…
A subtheory of a quantum field theory specifies von~Neumann subalgebras $\aa(\oo)$ (the `observables' in the space-time region $\oo$) of the von~Neumann algebras $\bb(\oo)$ (the `fields' localized in $\oo$). Every local algebra being a…
We consider the infinite symmetric group and its infinite index subgroup given as the stabilizer subgroup of one element under the natural action on a countable set. This inclusion of discrete groups induces a hyperfinite subfactor for each…
Canonical tensor product subfactors (CTPS's) describe, among other things, the embedding of chiral observables in two-dimensional conformal quantum field theories. A new class of CTPS's is constructed some of which are associated with…
{\em Quantum Fourier analysis} is a new subject that combines an algebraic Fourier transform (pictorial in the case of subfactor theory) with analytic estimates. This provides interesting tools to investigate phenomena such as quantum…
The structure of covariant instruments is studied and a general structure theorem is derived. A detailed characterization is given to covariant instruments in the case of an irreducible representation of a locally compact group.
Recently, sub-indices and sub-factors of groups with connections to number theory, additive combinatorics, and factorization of groups have been introduced and studied. Since all group subsets are considered in the theory and there are many…
The relations and differences between various classification problems arising in the context of local two-dimensional conformal QFT, modular invariants, and subfactors are discussed. The extent to which locality implies modular invariance,…
Subsystems of entangled quantum systems are not traditionally described in a local way. This paper begins to address the issue by constructing an explicit local hidden variable theory for quantum subsystems. The interpretation is based on a…
The subfactor approach to modular invariants gives insight into the fusion rule structure of the modular invariants.
In these lectures we explain the intimate relationship between modular invariants in conformal field theory and braided subfactors in operator algebras. A subfactor with a braiding determines a matrix $Z$ which is obtained as a coupling…
Expansion of the categorical point of view on many areas of the mathematics and mathematical physics will cause to deeper understanding of genuine features of these problems. New applications of categorical methods are connected with new…
We review the status of (scalar) quantum field theory on curved spacetimes using a novel formulation in terms of non linear functionals over the smooth configuration fields. In particular, this entails also a new foundation of locally…
We give a precise definition for when a subfactor arises from a conformal net which can be motivated by classification of defects. We show that a subfactor $N \subset M$ arises from a conformal net if there is a conformal net whose…
We extend to any maximally entangled state of a bipartite system whose constituents are arbitrarily (but finite) dimensional the result, recently derived for two-dimensional constituents, that hidden variable theories cannot have local…
Links of factorization theory, supersymmetry and Darboux transformations as isospectral deformations are considered in the context of quantum theory. The infinite chain equations for factorizing operators for a spectral problem are derived.…
