Construction of Field Algebras with Quantum Symmetry from Local Observables

Volker Schomerus

It has been discussed earlier that ( weak quasi-) quantum groups allow for conventional interpretation as internal symmetries in local quantum theory. From general arguments and explicit examples their consistency with (braid-) statistics and locality was established. This work addresses to the reconstruction of quantum symmetries and algebras of field operators. For every algebra A of observables satisfying certain standard assumptions, an appropriate quantum symmetry is found. Field operators are obtained which act on a positive definite Hilbert space of states and transform covariantly under the quantum symmetry. As a substitute for Bose/Fermi (anti-) commutation relations, these fields are demonstrated to obey local braid relation. Contents 1 Introduction 1 2 The Notion of Quantum Symmetry 5 3 Algebraic Methods for Field Construction 9 3.1 Observables and superselection sectors in local quantum field theory . . . . 10 3.2 Localized endomorphisms and fusion structure . . . . . ....

CHIRAL DECOMPOSITION AS A SOURCE OF QUANTUM SYMMETRY IN THE ISING MODEL

Kornél Szlachányi

The superselection sectors of three closely related models are studied and compared. I. The full Ising model with observable algebra [Formula: see text], the universal algebra of local even CAR algebras on the circle. [Formula: see text] has four sectors with Z(2) × Z(2) symmetry. II. The chiral Ising model with observable algebra [Formula: see text] (c = L or R), which is the universal algebra of local even Majorana algebras, has three sectors with quantum symmetry Gc ≅ M1⊕M1⊕M2. The Mack-Schomerus endomorphism creating the non-Abelian sector of [Formula: see text], respectively of [Formula: see text] is shown to coincide with the restriction [Formula: see text], respectively [Formula: see text] of a Z (2) charge creating automorphism ρ of [Formula: see text]. III. As an intermediate step the superselection sectors of the algebra [Formula: see text] — which can be interpreted as the observable algebra of the conformal Ising model — are found to have ordinary group symmetry described by the dihedral group D4. The relation between the sectors of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is explained in terms of a strange 'symmetry breaking': symmetry enhancement in the Neveu-Schwarz sector and symmetry breaking in the Ramond. Covariant charged fields are constructed in all three cases and the truncation in Gc is shown to arise from the failure of the Cuntz algebra relations for the chiral charged fields.

Direct construction of pointlike observables in the Ising model

Daniela Cadamuro

The construction of pointlike fields in quantum integrable models is usually approached by constructing their n-point functions. However, convergence questions of the resulting infinite series remain unresolved even in the simplest case of the massive Ising model. On the other hand, the C*-algebraic approach to the construction considers semi-local bounded operators, but yields local operators only in a very abstract way. We use a novel approach to investigate the structure of these local observables, in the form of smeared pointlike quantum fields. Instead of considering their n-point functions and verifying the Wightman axioms, we establish them as closed operators affiliated with the local C*-algebras. We explicitly construct all pointlike fields of the Ising model, verify the Reeh-Schlieder property and show that they generate the local algebras by dualization.
