Restricting positive energy representations of ${\rm Diff}^+(S^1)$ to the stabilizer of $n$ points
Abstract
Let be the stabilizer of given points of . How much information do we lose if we restrict a positive energy representation associated to an admissible pair of the central charge and lowest energy, to the subgroup ? The question, and a part of the answer originate in chiral conformal QFT. The value of can be easily ``recovered'' from such a restriction; the hard question concerns the value of . If , then there is no loss of information, and accordingly, all of these restrictions are irreducible. In this work it is shown that is always irreducible for , and if , it is irreducible at least up to . Moreover, an example is given for certain values and such that . It follows that for these values cannot be irreducible for . For further values of and , the question is left open. Nevertheless, the example already shows, that in general, local and global intertwiners in a QFT model may not be equivalent.
