The present state of QFT is analysed from a new viewpoint whose mathematical basis is the modular theory of von Neumann algebras. Its physical consequences suggest new ways of dealing with interactions, symmetries, Hawking-Unruh thermal…

Recent developments in local quantum physics have led to revolutionary conceptual changes in the thinking about a more intrinsic formulation and in particular about unexpected aspects of localized degrees of freedom. This paradigmatic…

The construction of the known interacting quantum field theory models is mostly based on euclidean techniques. The expectation values of interesting quantities are usually given in terms of euclidean correlation functions from which one…

This paper contains the first written exposition of some ideas (announced in a previous survey) on an approach to quantum gravity based on Tomita-Takesaki modular theory and A. Connes non-commutative geometry aiming at the reconstruction of…

Lecture notes prepared for the EMS--IAMP Spring School ``Symmetries and Measurement in Quantum Field Theory''. This set of lecture notes covers four lectures: 1. Operator Algebras and Quantum Field Theory, 2. Tomita-Takesaki Modular Theory…

This is the first installment of a paper in three parts, where we use noncommutative geometry to study the space of commensurability classes of Q-lattices and we show that the arithmetic properties of KMS states in the corresponding quantum…

Some mathematical questions relating to Coset Conformal Field Theories (CFT) are considered in the framework of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory as developed previously by us. We consider the issue of fixed point resolution in the diagonal…

There has been some recent interest in applying the techniques of Algebraic Quantum Field Theory (AQFT) to entanglement problems in perturbative QFT. In particular, the Hilbert space independence of this formulation makes it particularly…

We derive the Kac Wakimoto formula in the algebraic framework of chiral conformal QFT s a consequence of the universal behaviour of high-temperature Gibbs-states on intertwiner subalgebras. By studying selfintertwiners in the presence of…

A quantum group analysis is applied to the Sine-Gordon model (or may be its version) in a strong-coupling regime. Infinitely many bound states are found together with the corresponding S-matrices. These new solutions of the Yang-Baxter…

Tomita-Takesaki modular theory provides a set of algebraic tools in quantum field theory that is suitable for the study of the information-theoretic properties of states. For every open set in spacetime and choice of two states, the modular…

We pose and solve the problem of quantum filtering based on continuous-in-time quadrature measurements (homodyning) for the case where the quantum process is in a thermal state. The standard construction of quantum filters involves the…

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…

Asymptotic symmetries at future null infinity (I+) of Minkowski space for electrodynamics with massless charged fields, as well as non-Abelian gauge theories with gauge group G, are considered at the semiclassical level. The possibility of…

We use shifted symplectic geometry to construct the Moore-Tachikawa topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) in a category of Hamiltonian schemes. Our new and overarching insight is an algebraic explanation for the existence of these…

Different gaugings of the global symmetry of a quantum field theory are closely related to its various phases. In this work, we study candidate gaugeable symmetries by analyzing candidate Lagrangian algebra data in the Drinfeld center of a…

We have constructed a non-relativistic theory of quantum mechanics based on local modulus symmetry. The resulting connection in the covariant derivative is identified as the escape velocity of the gravitational field. A new real and…

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…

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…

The general idea of this paper is to start from a classical integrable (partial differential) equation which arises as a compatibility condition for a matrix linear differential problem. For definitiveness' sake, a generalised sinh-Gordon…
