Abstract: Pairs $$ of local quantum field theories are studied, where $aa$ is a chiral conformal qft and $$ is a local extension, either chiral or two-dimensional. The local correlation functions of fields from $$ have an expansion with respect to $aa$ into cfb s, which are non-local in general. Two methods of computing characteristic invariant ratios of structure constants in these expansions are compared: $(a)$ by constructing the monodromy ep of the braid group in the space of solutions of the Knizhnik-Zamolodchikov differential equation, and $(b)$ by an analysis of the local subfactors associated with the extension with methods from operator algebra (Jones theory) and algebraic quantum field theory. Both approaches apply also to the reverse problem: the characterization and (in principle) classification of local extensions of a given theory.
