Abstract
We construct local, boost covariant boundary QFT nets of von Neumann algebras on the interior of the Lorentz hyperboloid h(R), x(2) - t(2) > R-2, x > 0, in the two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Our first construction is canonical, starting with a local conformal net on R, and is analogous to our previous construction of local boundary CFT nets on the Minkowski half-space. This net is in a thermal state at Hawking temperature. Then, inspired by a recent construction by E. Witten and one of us, we consider a unitary semigroup that we use to build up infinitely many nets. Surprisingly, the one-particle semigroup is again isomorphic to the semigroup of symmetric inner functions of the disk. In particular, by considering the U(1)-current net, we can associate with any given symmetric inner function a local, boundary QFT net on h(R). By considering different states, we shall also have nets in a ground state, rather than in a KMS state.
