It is shown here that the positive energy irreducible projective unitary representations $U_{c,h}$ and $U_{c,\\tilde{h}}$ of the group ${\\rm Diff}^+(S^1)$ are locally equivalent. This means that for any $I\\Subset S^1$ open proper interval, there exists a unitary operator $W_I$ such that $W_I U_{c,h}(\\gamma)W_I^* = U_{c,\\tilde{h}}(\\gamma)$ for all $\\gamma \\in {\\rm Diff}^+(S^1)$ which act identically on $I^c\\equiv S^1\\setminus I$ (i.e. which can \"displace\" or \"move\" points only in $I$). This result extends and completes earlier ones that dealt with only certain regions of the \"$c,h$-plane\", and closes the gap in the full classification of superselection sectors of Virasoro nets.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-06-01T16:14:48.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "81R10" ], "keywords": [ "highest weight", "local equivalence", "energy irreducible projective unitary representations", "open proper interval", "positive energy irreducible projective unitary" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
