โฆ Synopsis
The OPE algebra Q = Q(ga) generated by a pair of oppositely charged 'currents' ~b(z, + g) (Izl = 1) of spin s = 89 (2s --1, 2, 3 .... ) is specified by the leading terms in the small distance expansions of qJ(zl,g)~/(z 2, -g) and ~b(zl,g)~(z2,g). The 'current' ~b(z,g) splits into a product of a U(l)-Thirring field and a Zamolodchikov-Fateev'parafermionic' current. The quasiloeal (i.e. single-or double-valued) representations of Q are classified. The level k states involve 2(k + 1) (ks -k + 1) lowest weights (dimensions). The results can be viewed as an extension of the (known) representation theory of the SU(2) current algebra in the bosonic case corresponding to even values of g2 and of the N = 2 extended superconformal algebra in the fermionic case corresponding to odd g2.

It is shown that quantum fields over a curved space-time with a transitive group of isometriesare well-defined objects at each space-time point in the meaning of sesquilinear forms. If these quantum fields are associated with a local net of observables then they can be obtained as limits of sequence
