AbstractIn the last 20 years, the study of operator algebras has developed from abranch of functional analysis to a central field of mathematics withapplications in both pure mathematics and mathematical physics. The theory wasinitiated by von Neumann and Murray as a tool for studying grouprepresentations and as a framework for quantum mechanics, and has since keptin touch with its roots in physics as a framework for quantum statisticalmechanics and the formalism of algebraic quantum field theory. However, in1981, the study of operator algebras took a new turn with the introduction byVaughn Jones of subfactor theory, leading to remarkable connections with knottheory, 3-manifolds, quantum groups, and integrable systems in statisticalmechanics and conformal field theory. This book, one of the first in the area,looks at these combinatorial-algebraic developments from the perspective ofoperator algebras. With minimal prerequisites from classical theory, it bringsthe reader to the forefront of research.
