Nets of Subfactors Dedicated to Bert Schroer on the Occasion of His 60th Birthday

A subtheory of a quantum eld theory speciies von Neumann subalgebras A(O) (thèob-servables' in the space-time region O) of the von Neumann algebras B(O) (thèèlds ' localized in O). Every local algebra being a (type III 1) factor , the inclusion A (O) B (O) is a sub-factor. The assignment of these local subfactors to the space-time regions is called a ` net of subfactors '. The theory of subfact...
