Abstract

The local generators of symmetry transformations which have recently been constructed from a quantum field theoretical version of Noether's theorem are shown to converge to the global ones as the volume tends to the whole space. The proof relies on the continuous volume dependence of the universal localizing maps which are associated to the local splitW*-inclusions.
