Title: Modular theory and entropy in QFT on curved spacetimes
Abstract: In this talk I will review how modular theory enters the formalism of Quantum Field Theory on curved spacetimes, stressing the similarities with Quantum Statistical Mechanics. In particular I will discuss the Araki-Woods representation and the problem of defining and computing entanglement entropy, then outline possible directions of research for the ANR project (joint project with T. Benoist, D. Djordjevic, V. Jaksic).
