It is established (see Section 4) that the Hilbert space formed from a block spin renormalization construction of a cyclic quantum spin chain (based on the Temperley-Lieb algebra) does not support a chiral conformal field theory whose Hamiltonian generates a translation on the circle as a continuous limit of the rotations on the lattice.
