Cern-th/99-183 Higher-spin Current Multiplets in Operator-product Expansions
نویسنده
چکیده
Various formulas for currents with arbitrary spin are worked out in general space-time dimension, in the free field limit and, at the bare level, in presence of interactions. As the n-dimensional generalization of the (conformal) vector field, the (n/2 − 1)-form is used. The two-point functions and the higher-spin central charges are evaluated at one loop. As an application, the higher-spin hierarchies generated by the stress-tensor operator-product expansion are computed in supersymmetric theories. The results exhibit an interesting universality.

متن کاملThe N=4 Quantum Conformal Algebra
We determine the spectrum of currents generated by the operator product expansion of the energy-momentum tensor in N=4 super-symmetric Yang-Mills theory. Up to the regular terms and in addition to the multiplet of the stress tensor, three current multiplets appear, Σ, Ξ and Υ, starting with spin 0, 2 and 4, respectively. The OPE’s of these new currents generate an infinite tower of current mult...
متن کاملIrreversibility and Higher-spin Conformal Field Theory
I discuss the properties of the central charges c and a for higher-derivative and higher-spin theories (spin 2 included). Ordinary gravity does not admit a straightforward identification of c and a in the trace anomaly, because it is not conformal. On the other hand, higherderivative theories can be conformal, but have negative c and a. A third possibility is to consider higher-spin conformal f...

We give field theoretic realizations of both the q-Heisenberg and the q-Virasoro algebra. In particular, we obtain the operator product expansions among the current and the energy momentum tensor obtained using the Sugawara construction.
متن کاملHeavy Quark Masses from the QQ̄ Threshold and the Upsilon Expansion
Recent results from studies using half the perturbative mass of heavy quark-antiquark n = 1, 3S1 quarkonium as a new heavy quark mass definition for problems where the characteristic scale is smaller than or of the same order as the heavy quark mass are reviewed. In this new scheme, called the 1S mass scheme, the heavy quark mass can be determined very accurately, and many observables like incl...
