Some computations in the cyclic permutations of completely rational nets
In this paper we calculate certain chiral quantities from the cyclic
permutation orbifold of a general completely rational net. We determine the
fusion of a fundamental soliton, and by suitably modified arguments of A. Coste
, T. Gannon and especially P. Bantay to our setting we are able to prove a
number of arithmetic properties including congruence subgroup properties for
matrices of a completely rational net defined by K.-H. Rehren .Comment: 30 Pages Late
On intermediate subfactors of Goodman-de la Harpe-Jones subfactors
In this paper we present a conjecture on intermediate subfactors which is a
generalization of Wall's conjecture from the theory of finite groups. Motivated
by this conjecture, we determine all intermediate subfactors of
Goodman-Harpe-Jones subfactors, and as a result we verify that
Goodman-Harpe-Jones subfactors verify our conjecture. Our result also gives a
negative answer to a question motivated by a conjecture of
Aschbacher-Guralnick.Comment: To appear in Comm. Math. Phy

arising from operator algebras.Comment: For proceedings of "International Workshop on Quantum Field Theory

The fusion algebra of bimodule categories
We establish an algebra-isomorphism between the complexified Grothendieck
ring F of certain bimodule categories over a modular tensor category and the
endomorphism algebra of appropriate morphism spaces of those bimodule
categories. This provides a purely categorical proof of a conjecture by Ostrik
concerning the structure of F.
As a by-product we obtain a concrete expression for the structure constants
of the Grothendieck ring of the bimodule category in terms of endomorphisms of
the tensor unit of the underlying modular tensor category.Comment: 16 page
Braided Matrix Structure of the Sklyanin Algebra and of the Quantum Lorentz Group
Braided groups and braided matrices are novel algebraic structures living in
braided or quasitensor categories. As such they are a generalization of
super-groups and super-matrices to the case of braid statistics. Here we
construct braided group versions of the standard quantum groups . They
have the same FRT generators but a matrix braided-coproduct \und\Delta
L=L\und\tens L where , and are self-dual. As an application, the
degenerate Sklyanin algebra is shown to be isomorphic to the braided matrices
; it is a braided-commutative bialgebra in a braided category. As a
second application, we show that the quantum double D(\usl) (also known as
the `quantum Lorentz group') is the semidirect product as an algebra of two
copies of \usl, and also a semidirect product as a coalgebra if we use braid
statistics. We find various results of this type for the doubles of general
quantum groups and their semi-classical limits as doubles of the Lie algebras
of Poisson Lie groups.Comment: 45 pages. Revised (= much expanded introduction
On the complete classification of the unitary N=2 minimal superconformal field theories
Aiming at a complete classification of unitary N=2 minimal models (where the
assumption of space-time supersymmetry has been dropped), it is shown that each
modular invariant candidate of a partition function for such a theory is indeed
the partition function of a minimal model. A family of models constructed via
orbifoldings of either the diagonal model or of the space-time supersymmetric
exceptional models demonstrates that there exists a unitary N=2 minimal model
for every one of the allowed partition functions in the list obtained from
Gannon's work.
Kreuzer and Schellekens' conjecture that all simple current invariants can be
obtained as orbifolds of the diagonal model, even when the extra assumption of
higher-genus modular invariance is dropped, is confirmed in the case of the
unitary N=2 minimal models by simple counting arguments.Comment: 53 pages; Latex; minor changes in v2: intro expanded, references

Super-KMS functionals for graded-local conformal nets
Motivated by a few preceding papers and a question of R. Longo, we introduce
super-KMS functionals for graded translation-covariant nets over R with
superderivations, roughly speaking as a certain supersymmetric modification of
classical KMS states on translation-covariant nets over R, fundamental objects
in chiral algebraic quantum field theory. Although we are able to make a few
statements concerning their general structure, most properties will be studied
in the setting of specific graded-local (super-) conformal models. In
particular, we provide a constructive existence and partial uniqueness proof of
super-KMS functionals for the supersymmetric free field, for certain subnets,
and for the super-Virasoro net with central charge c>= 3/2. Moreover, as a
separate result, we classify bounded super-KMS functionals for graded-local
conformal nets over S^1 with respect to rotations.Comment: 30 pages, revised version (to appear in Ann. H. Poincare
Construction of Field Algebras with Quantum Symmetry from Local Observables
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.Comment: 50 pages, HUTMP 93-B33
Status of the GAMMA-400 Project
The preliminary design of the new space gamma-ray telescope GAMMA-400 for the
energy range 100 MeV - 3 TeV is presented. The angular resolution of the
instrument, 1-2{\deg} at E{\gamma} ~100 MeV and ~0.01^{\circ} at E{\gamma} >
100 GeV, its energy resolution ~1% at E{\gamma} > 100 GeV, and the proton
rejection factor ~10E6 are optimized to address a broad range of science
topics, such as search for signatures of dark matter, studies of Galactic and
extragalactic gamma-ray sources, Galactic and extragalactic diffuse emission,
gamma-ray bursts, as well as high-precision measurements of spectra of
cosmic-ray electrons, positrons, and nuclei.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figure, 1 table, submitted to Advances in Space Researc
