Gravitational Axial Anomaly for Four Dimensional Conformal Field Theories
We construct the three point function involving an axial vector current and two energymomentum tensors for four dimensional conformal field theories. Conformal symmetry determines the form of this three point function uniquely up to a constant factor if the necessary conservation conditions are imposed. The gravitational axial anomaly present on a curved space background leads to a non-zero con...
متن کاملOn Conformal Field Theories in Four Dimensions
Extending recent work of Kachru and Silverstein, we consider “orbifolds” of 4-dimensional N = 4 SU(n) super-Yang-Mills theories with respect to discrete subgroups of the SU(4) R-symmetry which act nontrivially on the gauge group. We show that for every discrete subgroup of SU(4) there is a canonical choice of imbedding of the discrete group in the gauge group which leads to theories with a vani...
متن کاملConformal Field Theories on K3 and Three-Dimensional Gauge Theories
According to a recent conjecture, the moduli space of the heterotic conformal field theory on a G ⊂ ADE singularity of an ALE space is equivalent to the moduli space of a pure N = 4 supersymmetric three-dimensional gauge theory with gauge group G. We establish this relation using geometric engineering of heterotic strings and generalize it to theories with non-trivial matter content.
متن کاملLocality of Gravitational Systems from Entanglement of Conformal Field Theories.
The Ryu-Takayanagi formula relates the entanglement entropy in a conformal field theory to the area of a minimal surface in its holographic dual. We show that this relation can be inverted for any state in the conformal field theory to compute the bulk stress-energy tensor near the boundary of the bulk spacetime, reconstructing the local data in the bulk from the entanglement on the boundary. W...
متن کاملConformal Symmetry and the Three Point Function for the Gravitational Axial Anomaly
This work presents a first study of a radiative calculation for the gravitational axial anomaly in the massless Abelian Higgs model. The two loop contribution to the anomalous correlation function of one axial current and two energy-momentum tensors, 〈Aα(z)Tμν(y)Tρσ(x)〉, is computed at an order that involves only internal matter fields. Conformal properties of massless field theories are used i...
