Abstract

Let A\mathcal{A} be a (not necessarily rational) conformal net. We show that the braided W\mathrm{W}^*-tensor category Rep(A)\text{Rep}(\mathcal{A}) of representations of A\mathcal{A} is canonically a balanced W\mathrm{W}^*-tensor category. The balance is given by the action of e2πiL0e^{-2\pi i L_0}, where L0L_0 denotes the generator of rotations on S1S^1. In future work, we generalize this result to the larger context of a group acting on A\mathcal{A}. We provide here a more accessible proof for the case where no group is present.
