Modular Theory and Eyvind Wichmann's Contributions to modern Particle Physics Theory Bert Schroer
Some of the consequences of Eyvind Wichmann's contributions to modular theory and the QFT phase-space structure are presented.In order to show the power of those ideas in contemporary problems, I selected the issue of algebraic holography as well as a new nonperturbative constructive approach (based on the modular structur of wedge-localized algebras and modular inclusions) and show that these ideas are recent consequences of the pathbreaking work which Wichmann together with his collaborator Bisognano initiated in the mid 70ies
