Conformal nets III: fusion of defects
Arthur Bartels, Christopher L. Douglas, André Henriques
Conformal nets provides a mathematical model for conformal field theory. We define a notion of defect between conformal nets, formalizing the idea of an interaction between two con…
Conformal nets I: coordinate-free nets
Arthur Bartels, Christopher L. Douglas, André Henriques
We describe a coordinate-free perspective on conformal nets, as functors from intervals to von Neumann algebras. We discuss an operation of fusion of intervals and observe that a c…
Dualizability and index of subfactors
Arthur Bartels, Christopher L. Douglas, André Henriques
In this paper, we develop the theory of bimodules over von Neumann algebras, with an emphasis on categorical aspects. We clarify the relationship between dualizability and finite i…
