On the mass dependence of the modular operator for a double cone — •Christoph Minz1, Henning Bostelmann2, and Daniela Cadamuro1 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Leipzig — 2University of York, Department of Mathematics
We present a numerical approximation scheme for the Tomita-Takesaki modular operator of local subalgebras in linear quantum fields, where the modular data are determined at one-particle level using time-0 formulation in position space. The technique is tested against the known results for the local subspace of a right wedge in 2-dimensional Minkowski spacetime, where one component of the modular operator is known to be a mass-independent multiplication operator. Applying the same technique to the unknown case of a double cone in 2 (and 4) dimensions, we find that the same component of the modular operator depends on the mass (and angular momentum).
