Local 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 کاملNash Bargaining without Scale Invariance
We present a characterization of the Nash Bargaining Solution on a domain which is not closed under Scale Invariance. The characterization on this restricted domain relies on Symmetry, Efficiency, Translation Invariance, the Independence of Irrelevant Alternatives and Continuity, but does not require Scale Invariance. Surprisingly, without continuity there exist a wide variety of bargaining sol...
متن کاملChiral scale and conformal invariance in 2D quantum field theory.
It is well known that a local, unitary Poincaré-invariant 2D quantum field theory with a global scaling symmetry and a discrete non-negative spectrum of scaling dimensions necessarily has both a left and a right local conformal symmetry. In this Letter, we consider a chiral situation beginning with only a left global scaling symmetry and do not assume Lorentz invariance. We find that a left con...
متن کاملScale Dependent Intermittency and Conformal Invariance in Turbulence
We present a conformal theory for intermittent scalar fields. As an example, we consider the energy flux from large to small scales in the developed turbulent flow. The conformal correlation functions are found in the inertial range of scales. In the simplest case, the theory leads to the log-normal model. Parameters of the model are expressed via integrals of the conformal correlation function...
متن کاملOn Scale and Conformal Invariance in Four Dimensions
We study the implications of scale invariance in four-dimensional quantum field theories. Imposing unitarity, we find that infinitely many matrix elements vanish in a suitable kinematical configuration. This vanishing is a nontrivial necessary condition for conformality. We provide an argument why this is expected to be a sufficient condition as well, thereby linking scale and conformal invaria...
