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 کاملGravity Amplitudes from n-Space
We identify a hidden GL(n,C) symmetry of the tree level n-point MHV gravity amplitude. Representations of this symmetry reside in an auxiliary n-space whose indices are external particle labels. Spinor helicity variables transform non-linearly under GL(n,C), but linearly under its notable subgroups, the little group and the permutation group Sn. Using GL(n,C) covariant variables, we present a n...
متن کاملCompactifications of conformal gravity
We study conformal theories of gravity, i.e. those whose action is invariant under the local transformation gμν → ω(x)gμν . As is well known, in order to obtain Einstein gravity in 4D it is necessary to introduce a scalar compensator with a VEV that spontaneously breaks the conformal invariance and generates the Planck mass. We show that the compactification of extra dimensions in a higher dime...
متن کاملConformal Fourth-rank Gravity
We consider the consequences of describing the metric properties of space-time through a quartic line element ds = Gμνλρdx dxdxdx. The associated ”metric” is a fourth-rank tensor Gμνλρ. We construct a theory for the gravitational field based on the fourth-rank metric Gμνλρ which is conformally invariant in four dimensions. In the absence of matter the fourth-rank metric becomes of the form Gμνλ...
متن کاملConformal Transformation in Gravity
The conformal transformation in the Einstein Hilbert action leads to a new frame where an extra scalar degree of freedom is compensated by the local conformal-like symmetry. We write down a most general action resulting from such transformation and show that it covers both general relativity and conformally coupled to gravity scalar field as the particular cases. On quantum level the equivalenc...
