Abstract

Let c,hc,h and c,h~c,\tilde{h} be two admissible pairs of central charge and highest weight for Diff+(S1){\rm Diff}^+(S^1). It is shown here that the positive energy irreducible projective unitary representations Uc,hU_{c,h} and Uc,h~U_{c,\tilde{h}} of the group Diff+(S1){\rm Diff}^+(S^1) are locally equivalent. This means that for any IS1I\Subset S^1 open proper interval, there exists a unitary operator WIW_I such that WIUc,h(γ)WI=Uc,h~(γ)W_I U_{c,h}(\gamma)W_I^* = U_{c,\tilde{h}}(\gamma) for all γDiff+(S1)\gamma \in {\rm Diff}^+(S^1) which act identically on IcS1II^c\equiv S^1\setminus I (i.e. which can "displace" or "move" points only in II). This result extends and completes earlier ones that dealt with only certain regions of the "c,hc,h-plane", and closes the gap in the full classification of superselection sectors of Virasoro nets.
