An intuitive construction of modular flow

Abstract The theory of modular flow has proved extremely useful for applying thermodynamic reasoning to out-of-equilibrium states in quantum field theory. However, the standard proofs of the fundamental theorems of modular flow use machinery from Fourier analysis on Banach spaces, and as such are no...
