چکیده

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 local extensions. We relate results of Kostant, in the context of the McKay correspondence for finite subgroups of SU (2), to subfactors. A direct proof of how α-induction produces modular invariants is presented.

Braided Subfactors, Spectral Measures, Planar algebras and Calabi-Yau algebras associated to SU (3) modular invariants

Braided subfactors of von Neumann algebras provide a framework for studying two dimensional conformal field theories and their modular invariants. We review this in the context of SU(3) conformal field theories through corresponding SU(3) braided subfactors and various subfactor invariants including spectral measures for the nimrep graphs, A2-planar algebras and almost Calabi-Yau algebras.

On the homology of almost Calabi-Yau algebras associated to SU (3) modular invariants

We compute the Hochschild homology and cohomology, and cyclic homology, of almost Calabi-Yau algebras for SU(3) ADE graphs. These almost Calabi-Yau algebras are a higher rank analogue of the pre-projective algebras for Dynkin diagrams, which are SU(2)-related constructions. The Hochschild (co)homology and cyclic homology of A can be regarded as invariants for the braided subfactors associated t...

PhD Project in Mathematics Modular Invariants and Galois Algebras

The discovery of symmetry in nature is one of the most fundamental and universal intellectual achievements. The mathematical language for analyzing symmetries is the theory of groups and their invariants: objects or phenomena of interest and their properties are described mathematically in terms of solutions of systems of equations, involving numerical functions that depend on chosen coordinate...

Nonself-adjoint operator algebras for dynamical systems

This paper is a survey of our recent work on operator algebras associated to dynamical systems that lead to classification results for the systems in terms of algebraic invariants of the operator algebras.

2 2 Ja n 19 99 GROTHENDIECK GROUP INVARIANTS FOR PARTLY SELF - ADJOINT OPERATOR ALGEBRAS

Partially ordered Grothendieck group invariants are introduced for general operator algebras and these are used in the classification of direct systems and direct limits of finite-dimensional complex incidence algebras with common reduced digraph H (systems of H-algebras). In particular the dimension distribution group G(A; C), defined for an operator algebra A and a self-adjoint subalgebra C, ...
