Conformal invariance from non-conformal gravity
We discuss the conditions under which classically conformally invariant models in four dimensions can arise out of non-conformal (Einstein) gravity. As an ‘existence proof’ that this is indeed possible we show how to derive N = 4 super Yang Mills theory with any compact gauge group G from non-conformal gauged N = 4 supergravity as a special flat space limit. We stress the role that the anticipa...
متن کاملConformal and Nonconformal Symmetries in 2d Dilaton Gravity *
We study finite-dimensional extra symmetries of generic 2D dilaton gravity models. Using a non-linear sigma model formulation we show that the unique theories admitting an extra (conformal) symmetry are the models with an exponential potential V ∝ e (S = 1 2π ∫ d2x √−g[Rφ + 4λ2eβφ]), which include the model of Callan, Giddings, Harvey and Strominger (CGHS) as a particular though limiting (β = 0...
متن کاملA four-dimensional theory for quantum gravity with conformal and nonconformal explicit solutions
The most general version of a renormalizable d = 4 theory corresponding to a dimensionless higher-derivative scalar field model in curved spacetime is explored. The classical action of the theory contains 12 independent functions, which are the generalized coupling constants of the theory. We calculate the one-loop beta functions and then consider the conditions for finiteness. The set of exact...

متن کاملChapter 18 Conformal Invariance
At the beginning of the semester we motivated our investigation of symmetries by illustrating that, given differential equations which were symmetric, the solutions had to transform into each other under the symmetries as a representation of the symmetry. The first illustrations considered Schrödinger equations with symmetric potentials, such as the electrons in the spherically symmetric potent...
