Abstract

Given a half-sided modular standard inclusion (N ⊂ ℳ, Ω) of von-Neumann algebras which is conormal, we construct a chiral conformal quantum field theory on the circle. Conversely, a conformal quantum field theory on the circle which fulfills, in addition, the property of strong additivity, yields such data in a natural way.
