Conformal quantum field theory and half-sided modular inclusions of von-Neumann-Algebras

LetN, be von-Neumann-Algebras on a Hilbert space , a comon cyclic and separarting vector. Assume to be cyclic and separating also forN . Denote byJ, J_N the modular conjugations to (, ), and _N the associated modular operators. If and these data define in a canonical way a conformal quantum field theory in a cricle. Conversely, the chiral part of a conformal quantum field theory in two dimensions always yields such data in a natural way.Partly supported by the DFG, SFB 288 Differentiageometrie und Quantenphysik
