Finite Modular Hamiltonians and Their Singular Limits
Abstract
Using the open solid torus as a finite parent, we revisit modular flow for spherical regions in conformal field theory. Its nonsingular angular evolution gives finite modular generators in a very simple form, while an exact conformal map to a cavity frame recovers the Rindler, CHM, and stationary-source ball constructions as singular limits. The same finite parent also provides a regular completion of the center obstruction in the complexified ball flow. Charged, Dirac, and inhomogeneous scalar examples are given.
