We construct local, boost covariant boundary QFT nets of von Neumann algebras on the interior of the Lorentz hyperboloid LH = {x^2 - t^2 > R^2, x>0}, in the two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Our first construction is canonical, starting…

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…

In this article we review our recent work on the causal structure of symmetric spaces and related geometric aspects of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory. Motivated by some general results on modular groups related to nets of von Neumann…

Given a conformal QFT local net of von Neumann algebras B_2 on the two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with irreducible subnet A\otimes\A, where A is a completely rational net on the left/right light-ray, we show how to consistently add a…

Borchers and Wiesbrock have demonstrated certain results concerning the one-parameter semigroups of endomorphisms of von Neumann algebras that appear as lightlike translations in the theory of algebras of local observables. These results…

In these notes, we describe an interesting connection between unitary representations of Lie groups and nets of local algebras, as they appear in Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT). It is based on first translating the axioms for nets of…

We propose an improved variant of the third-quantization scheme, for the spatially homogeneous and isotropic cosmological models in Einstein gravity coupled with a neutral massless scalar field. Our strategy is to specify a semi-Riemannian…

We consider the entanglement entropy for a spacetime region and its spacelike complement in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. For a M\"obius covariant local net satisfying a certain nuclearity property, we consider the von…

Certain criteria are demonstrated for a spatial derivation of a von Neumann algebra to generate a one-parameter semigroup of endomorphisms of that algebra. These are then used to establish a converse to recent results of Borchers and of…

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…

Antiunitary representations of Lie groups take values in the group of unitary and antiunitary operators on a Hilbert space H. In quantum physics, antiunitary operators implement time inversion or a PCT symmetry, and in the modular theory of…

It has been discussed earlier that ( weak quasi-) quantum groups allow for conventional interpretation as internal symmetries in local quantum theory. From general arguments and explicit examples their consistency with (braid-) statistics…

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 construct a covariant functor from a category of Abelian principal bundles over globally hyperbolic spacetimes to a category of *-algebras that describes quantized principal connections. We work within an appropriate differential…

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…

By extending the method developed in our recent paper \cite{LM} we present the AQFT framework in terms of von Neumann algebras. In particular, this approach allows for a locally covariant categorical description of AQFT which moreover…

The Haag-Kastler net of local von Neumann algebras is constructed in the ultraviolet finite regime of the sine-Gordon model, and its equivalence with the massive Thirring model is proved. In contrast to other authors, we do not add an…

We extend the framework of general boundary quantum field theory (GBQFT) to achieve a fully local description of realistic quantum field theories. This requires the quantization of non-K\"ahler polarizations which occur generically on…

A framework allowing for perturbative calculations to be carried out for quantum field theories with arbitrary smoothly curved boundaries is described. It is based on an expansion of the heat kernel derived earlier for arbitrary mixed…

Following Birkhoff and von Neumann, quantum logic has traditionally been based on the lattice of closed linear subspaces of some Hilbert space, or, more generally, on the lattice of projections in a von Neumann algebra A. Unfortunately, the…
