Extended Conformal Symmetry
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that the grading of fields by conformal weight, when built into the initial group symmetry, provides a discrete, non-central conformal extension of any group containing dilatations. We find a faithful vector representation of the extended conformal group and show that it has a scale-invariant scalar product and satisfies a closed commutator algebra. The commutator algebra contains the infinite Heisenberg and Virasoro algebras. In contrast to the usual treatments of scale invariance, covariant derivatives and gauge transformations automatically incorporate the correct conformal weights when the extended symmetry is gauged.

We review the conformal symmetry group and investigate the isomorphism between the conformal group and O( D,2 ) . We study the classically conformal invariant scalar theory in D -dimensions with a non-positive potential . We solve the equations of motion by assigning O(D-1, 2)symmetry to the classical solutions with broken translational symmetry in all directions. Then we consider a six d...
متن کاملOptimization of Conformal Mapping Functions used in Developing Closed-Form Solutions for Underground Structures with Conventional cross Sections
Elastic solutions applicable to single underground openings usually suffer from geometry related simplification. Most tunnel shapes possess two axes of symmetry while a wide range of geometries used in tunneling practice involve only one symmetry axis. D-shape or horse-shoe shape tunnels and others with arched roof and floor are examples of the later category (one symmetry axis). In the present...
متن کاملCentrally Extended Conformal Galilei Algebras and Invariant Nonlinear PDEs
We construct, for any given ` = 1 2 + N0, second-order nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) which are invariant under the transformations generated by the centrally extended conformal Galilei algebras. This is done for a particular realization of the algebras obtained by coset construction and we employ the standard Lie point symmetry technique for the construction of PDEs. It is obs...
متن کاملFrom Conformal Invariance towards Dynamical Symmetries of the Collisionless Boltzmann Equation
Dynamical symmetries of the collisionless Boltzmann transport equation, or Vlasov equation, but under the influence of an external driving force, are derived from non-standard representations of the 2D conformal algebra. In the case without external forces, the symmetry of the conformally-invariant transport equation is first generalized by considering the particle momentum as an independent va...
متن کاملOn the Application of Conformal Symmetry to Quantum Field Theory*
To leading order in CX~ ( Q2), conformal symmetry specifies the eigensolutions of the evolution equation for meson distribution amplitudes, the wavefunctions which control large-momentum-transfer exclusive mesonic processes in &CD. We find that at next to leading order, the eigensolutions in various field theories depend on the regularization scheme, even for zero p-function. This is contrary t...
