Abstract.
The geometric action of modular groups for wedge regions (Bisognano-Wichmann property) is derived from the principles of local quantum physics for a large class of Poincaré covariant models in d = 4. As a consequence,the CPT theorem holds for this class. The models must have a complete interpretation in terms of massive particles.The corresponding charges need not be localizable in compact regions: The most general case is admitted, namely localization in spacelike cones.
