They are the underlying unifying concept for homomorphisms of (properly infinite) von Neumann algebras and representations of quantum observables.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe present introductory text reviews the basic notions and their cross-relations in different contexts. The focus is on Q-systems that serve as complete invariants, both for subfactors and for extensions of quantum field theory models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt proceeds with various operations on Q-systems (several decompositions, the mirror Q-system, braided product, centre and full centre of Q-systems) some of which are defined only in the presence of a braiding.\u003c\/p\u003eThe last chapter gives a brief exposition of the relevance of the mathematical structures presented in the main body for applications in Quantum Field Theory (in particular two-dimensional Conformal Field Theory, also with boundaries or defects). \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2015-01-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319143002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-14301-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 94\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45383414907020,"sku":"9783319143002","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319143002.jpg?v=1774035948","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319143002","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
