Loop Groups and QNEC

Abstract

We investigate some analytical properties of loop group models, showing that a Positive Energy Representation (PER) of a loop group $LG$ can be extended to a PER of $H^{3/2}(S^1,G)$ for any compact, simple and simply connected Lie group $G$. We then explicitly compute the adjoint action of $H^{5/2}(S^1,G)$ on the stress energy tensor and we use these results to prove the Quantum Null Energy Condition (QNEC) and the Bekenstein Bound for states obtained by applying a Sobolev loop to the vacuum. We also give a simpler proof of these last results in the case $G=SU(n)$. Finally, we construct and study solitonic representations of the loop group conformal nets induced by the conjugation by a loop with a discontinuity in $-1$.
