Let ρ be a localized endomorphism of the universal algebra of observables of a chiral conformal quantum field theory on a circle, see [16, 17, 23] or Chapter 1. Then ρ transforms covariant under the Möbius group. As was pointed out by D. Guido and R. Longo, [23], the covariance transformations are implemented by [Formula: see text] where Ad ∆it are modular groups to local algebras w.r.t. the vacuum vector, ut is a Connes-Radon-Nikodym-Cocycle. Using the localization property of ρ, one gets, at least for regular nets, localization properties of the cocycles. In this work we will do some steps into the opposite direction. Given a localized Connes’ cocycle of a local algebra. We will construct a localized endomorphism on the whole net. The features of this approach are twofold. Firstly sectors of finite and infinite statistical dimensions are handled on the same footing. Secondly it is a local theory right from the beginning. Moreover, soliton-like sectors can easily be incorporated. We will sketch on the last part. The program is carried through for a special class of conformal quantum field theories, the strongly additive ones.

Unified nonlinear spinorfield models are self-regularizing quantum field theories in which all observable (elementary and non-elementary) particles are assumed to be bound states of fermionic preon fields. Due to their large masses the preons themselves are confined and below the threshold of preon production the effective dynamics of the model is only concerned with bound state reactions. In preceding papers a functional energy representation, the statistical interpretation and the dynamical equations were derived and the effective dynamics for preon-antipreon boson states and three preon-fermion states (with corresponding anti-fermions) was studied in the low energy limit. The transformation of the functional energy representation of the spinorfield into composite particle functional operators produced a hierarchy of effective interactions at the composite particle level, the leading terms of which are identical with the functional energy representation of a phenomenological boson-fermion coupling theory. In this paper these calculations are extended into the high energy range. This leads to formfactors for the composite particle interaction terms which are calculated in a rough approximation and which in principle are observable. In addition, the mathematical and physical interpretation of nonlocal quantum field theories and the meaning of the mapping procedure, its relativistic invariance etc. are discussed.

AbstractThis paper develops a concept of 2-categorical algebraic quantum field theories (2AQFTs) that assign locally presentable linear categories to spacetimes. It is proven that ordinary AQFTs embed as a coreflective full 2-subcategory into the 2-category of 2AQFTs. Examples of 2AQFTs that do not come from ordinary AQFTs via this embedding are constructed by a local gauging construction for finite groups, which admits a physical interpretation in terms of orbifold theories. A categorification of Fredenhagen’s universal algebra is developed and also computed for simple examples of 2AQFTs.
