Description
In this talk I will review the Tomita-Takesaki modular theory from both mathematical and physical perspective and discuss some recent developments in non-equilibrium quantum statistical mechanics of open quantum systems where this theory has played a central role.
The talk is dedicated to the memory of Huzihiro Araki.
