Abstract:
Some of the consequences of Eyvind Wichmann's contributions to modular
theory and the QFT phase-space structure are presented.
In order to show the power of those ideas in contemporary problems, I
selected the issue of algebraic holography as well as a new nonperturbative
constructive approach (based on the modular structure of wedge-localized
algebras and modular inclusions) and show that these ideas are recent
consequences of the pathbreaking work which Wichmann together with his
collaborator Bisognano initiated in the mid Seventies.
