Existence of Pseudo-Conformally Invariant Solutions to the Davey–Stewartson System

Existence of Natural and Conformally Invariant Quantizations of Arbitrary Symbols

A quantization over a manifold can be seen as a way to construct a differential operator with prescribed principal symbol. The map from the space of principal symbols to the space of differential operators is moreover required to be a linear bijection. It is known that there is in general no natural quantization procedure. However, considering manifolds endowed with additional structures, such ...

On Positive Solutions to Semi-linear Conformally Invariant Equations on Locally Conformally Flat Manifolds

In this paper we study the existence and compactness of positive solutions to a family of conformally invariant equations on closed locally conformally flat manifolds. The family of conformally covariant operators Pα were introduced via the scattering theory for Poincaré metrics associated with a conformal manifold (Mn, [g]). We prove that, on a closed and locally conformally flat manifold with...

Gravity as Conformally Invariant Mechanical System

We show that two-dimensional (2D) AdS gravity induces on the spacetime boundary a confor-mally invariant dynamics that can be described in terms of a de Alfaro-Fubini-Furlan model coupled to an external source with conformal dimension two. The external source encodes the information about the gauge symmetries of the 2D gravity system. Alternatively, there exists a description in terms of a mech...

Is mass conformally invariant ?

By using the Garfinkle, Horowitz and Strominger black hole solutions as examples, we illustrate that, with respect to the reference action functional proposed by Hawking and Horowitz, the asymp-totic mass parameter is not invariant between two conformally related static spherically symmetric metrics.
