Lattice two-point functions and conformal invariance
A new realization of the conformal algebra is studied which mimics the behaviour of a statistical system on a discrete albeit infinite lattice. The twopoint function is found from the requirement that it transforms covariantly under this realization. The result is in agreement with explicit lattice calculations of the (1 + 1)D Ising model and the d−dimensional spherical model. A hard core is fo...
متن کاملConformal 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 کاملLocal scale invariance, conformal invariance and dynamical scaling
Building on an analogy with conformal invariance, local scale transformations consistent with dynamical scaling are constructed. Two types of local scale invariance are found which act as dynamical space-time symmetries of certain non-local free field theories. Physical applications include uniaxial Lifshitz points and ageing in simple ferromagnets. Scale invariance is a central notion of moder...
متن کاملConformal Invariance in Two-dimensional Percolation
The word percolation, borrowed from the Latin, refers to the seeping or oozing of a liquid through a porous medium, usually to be strained. In this and related senses it has been in use since the seventeenth century. It was introduced more recently into mathematics by S. R. Broadbent and J. M. Hammersley ([BH]) and is a branch of probability theory that is especially close to statistical mechan...
متن کاملQCD, conformal invariance and the two Pomerons
Using the solution of the BFKL equation including the leading and subleading conformal spin components, we show how the conformal invariance underlying the leading log(1/x) expansion of perturbative QCD leads to elastic amplitudes described by two effective Pomeron singularities. One Pomeron is the well-known ”hard” BFKL leading singularity while the new one appears from a shift of the higher c...
