Abstract

A systematic analysis of standard systems and modular systems for which one can develop TomitaTakesaki theory for algebras of unbounded operators is presented. Such systems arise in the Wightman quantum field theory. The connection between such systems and the theory of local nets of von Neumann algebras initiated by Araki and HaagKastler is discussed.
