Haag duality conjecture for potentially non-unitary Wightman conformal field theories

From papers

Let (\cF,\cD,U,Ω)(\cF,\cD,U,\Omega) be a potentially non-unitary Wightman conformal field theory on S1S^1 with invariant nondegenerate Hermitian form. Let \cQ(I)=\cP(I)\cQ(I)=\cP(I)” be the associated algebras, where the commutant is taken in End(\cD)\operatorname{End}_*(\cD). Haag duality conjecture. The algebras \cQ(I)\cQ(I) are a Haag dual Möbius-covariant net of subalgebras of End(\cD)\operatorname{End}_*(\cD); that is,

\cQ(I)=\cQ(I).\cQ(I')=\cQ(I)'.

This asks whether the Haag duality familiar from unitary conformal field theory extends to potentially non-unitary Wightman theories; the supplied text does not state a resolution.
