It is discussed to which extent the AdS-CFT correspondence is compatible with fundamental requirements in quantum field theory.
Conformal field theory on the half-space x>0 of Minkowski space-time ("boundary CFT") is analyzed from an algebraic point of view, clarifying in particular the algebraic structure of local algebras and the bi-localized charge structure of local fields. The field content and the admissible boundary conditions are characterized in terms of a non-local chiral field algebra.
The statistics of soliton sectors of massive 2D field theories is analysed. In the soliton field algebra, the non-local commutation relations are determined and Weak Locality, Spin-Statistics and CPT theorems are proven. These theorems depart from their usual appearance due to the broken symmetry connecting the inequivalent vacua. An interpretation in terms of modular theory is given. For the neutral subalgebra, the theorems hold in the familiar form, and Twisted Locality is derived.
