    Local quantum physics, as developed by Doplicher, Haag, and Roberts, is based on a net of algebras of local observables. It is one possible approach to quantum field theory with a compact gauge group. As known the setting leads to a natural description of superselection sectors. Since 1994 many authors (Buchholz, Verch, D'Antoni, Morsella, Bostelmann and others) have studied the short distance behavior by introducing so-called scaling algebras aiming at a nonperturbative approach to renormalization, i.e. the construction of a renormalization group for charged fields. What can be said about the scaling limits of subsystems? Given an inclusion of two graded local nets, Conti and Morsella analyze in this paper the structure of their scaling limits. In particular, they compute explicitly the scaling limit of the fixpoint nets of a scalar free field. They also study the scaling limit of Noether currents.
