Competitive Erosion is Conformally Invariant

Is mass conformally invariant ?

By using the Garfinkle, Horowitz and Strominger black hole solutions as examples, we illustrate that, with respect to the reference action functional proposed by Hawking and Horowitz, the asymp-totic mass parameter is not invariant between two conformally related static spherically symmetric metrics.

Conformally Invariant Non-local Operators

On a conformal manifold with boundary, we construct conformally invariant local boundary conditions B for the conformally invariant power of the Laplacian k , with the property that ( k , B) is formally self-adjoint. These boundary problems are used to construct conformally invariant nonlocal operators on the boundary Σ, generalizing the conformal Dirichlet-to-Robin operator, with principal par...

Conformally Invariant Off - shell Strings ∗

Recent advances in non-critical string theory allow a unique continuation of critical Polyakov string amplitudes to off-shell momenta, while preserving conformal invari-ance. These continuations possess unusual, apparently stringy, characteristics, as we illustrate with our results for three-point functions. 1. The Polyakov functional integral The Polyakov path integral 1 appears only a recipe ...

Degenerate Conformally Invariant Fully Nonlinear Elliptic Equations

There has been much work on conformally invariant fully nonlinear elliptic equations and applications to geometry and topology. See for instance [17], [5], [4], [10], [14], [9], and the references therein. An important issue in the study of such equations is to classify entire solutions which arise from rescaling blowing up solutions. Liouville type theorems for general conformally invariant fu...
