چکیده
We study the conformally invariant quantum field theory in spaces of even dimension D ≥ 4. The conformal transformations of current j µ and energy-momentum tensor T µν are examined. It is shown that the set of conformal transformations of particular kind corresponds to the canonical (unlike anomalous) dimensions l j = D − 1 and l T = D of those fields. These transformations cannot be derived by a smooth transiton from anomalous dimensions. The structure of representations of the conformal group, which correspond to these canonical dimensions, is analyzed, and new expressions for the propagators j µ j ν and T µν T ρσ are derived. The latter expressions have integrable singu-larities. It is shown that both propagators satisfy non-trivial Ward identities. The higher Green functions of the fields j µ and T µν are considered. The confor-mal QED and linear conformal gravity are discussed. We obtain the expressions for invariant propagators of electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The inte-grations over internal photon and graviton lines are performed. The integrals are shown to be conformally invariant and convergent, provided that the new expressions for the propagators are used.

The requirements of conformal invariance for the two point function of the energy momentum tensor in the neighbourhood of a plane boundary are investigated, restricting the conformal group to those transformations leaving the boundary invariant. It is shown that the general solution may contain an arbitrary function of a single conformally invariant variable v, except in dimension 2. The functi...
متن کاملConserved Currents and the Energy Momentum Tensor in Conformally Invariant Theories for General Dimensions
The implications of conformal invariance, as relevant in quantum field theories at a renormalisation group fixed point, are analysed with particular reference to results for correlation functions involving conserved currents and the energy momentum tensor. Ward identities resulting from conformal invariance are discussed. Explicit expressions for two and three point functions, which are essenti...

In this paper we study the Casimir effect for conformally coupled massless scalar fields on background of Static dS 4+1 spacetime. We will consider the general plane– symmetric solutions of the gravitational field equations and boundary conditions of the Dirichlet type on the branes. Then we calculate the vacuum energy-momentum tensor in a configuration in which the boundary branes are moving b...

We discuss conserved currents and operator product expansions (OPE’s) in the context of a O(N) invariant conformal field theory. Using OPE’s we find explicit expressions for the first few terms in suitable short-distance limits for various four-point functions involving the fundamental N -component scalar field φα(x), α = 1, 2, .., N . We propose an alternative evaluation of these four-point fu...

We show that the D=5 dilaton-axion gravity compactified on a 2-torus possesses the SL(4,R)/SO(4) matrix formulation. It is used for construction of the SO(2,2)-invariant BPS solution depended on the one harmonic function. 1 [email protected] 2 [email protected]
