Nets of standard subspaces induced by antiunitary representations of admissible Lie groups I

Abstract

Let $(\pi, \mathcal{H})$ be a strongly continuous unitary representation of a 1-connected Lie group $G$ such that the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ of $G$ is generated by the positive cone $C_\pi := \{x \in \mathfrak{g} : -i\partial \pi(x) \geq 0\}$ and an element $h$ for which the adjoint representation of $h$ induces a 3-grading of $\mathfrak{g}$. Moreover, suppose that $(\pi, \mathcal{H})$ extends to an antiunitary representation of the extended Lie group $G_\tau := G \rtimes \{\mathbf{1}, \tau_G\}$, where $\tau_G$ is an involutive automorphism of $G$ with $\mathbf{L}(\tau_G) = e^{i\pi\mathrm{ad} h}$. In a recent work by Neeb and \'Olafsson, a method for constructing nets of standard subspaces of $\mathcal{H}$ indexed by open regions of $G$ has been introduced and applied in the case where $G$ is semisimple. In this paper, we extend this construction to general Lie groups $G$, provided the above assumptions are satisfied and the center of the ideal $\mathfrak{g}_C = C_\pi - C_\pi$ of $\mathfrak{g}$ is one-dimensional. The case where the center of $\mathfrak{g}_C$ has more than one dimension will be discussed in a separate paper.
