Conformal Carroll scalars with boosts

چکیده
We construct two distinct actions for scalar fields that are invariant under local Carroll boosts and Weyl transformations. Conformal field theories were recently argued to be related the celestial holography description of asymptotically flat spacetimes. However, only few explicit examples such known, they lack boost symmetry on a generic curved background. derive types conformal with background in any dimension compute their energy-momentum tensors, which traceless. In first type theories, time derivatives dominate spatial suppressed. second type, dominate, constraints present ensure invariance. By integrating out these constraints, we show can reduced lower-dimensional Euclidean CFTs, is reminiscent embedding space construction.

Magnetic Fields and Passive Scalars in Polyakov’s Conformal Turbulence
Polyakov has suggested that two dimensional turbulence might be described by a minimal model of conformal field theory. However, there are many minimal models satisfying the same physical inputs as Polyakov’s solution M(2,21). Dynamical magnetic fields and passive scalars pose different physical requirements. For large magnetic Reynolds number other minimal models arise. The simplest one, M(2,1...
متن کاملImmirzi Ambiguity, Boosts and Conformal Frames for Black Holes
We analyze changes of the Immirzi parameter in loop quantum gravity and compare their consequences with those of Lorentz boosts and constant conformal transformations in black hole physics. We show that the effective value deduced for the Planck length in local measurements of vacuum black holes by an asymptotic observer may depend on its conformal or Lorentz frame. This introduces an apparent ...

متن کاملCurling Up with a Story: An Interview with Sean Carroll
To meet Sean Carroll on his home turf in the early spring of Wisconsin is like encountering a bear cuddled up in his lair, waiting out the cold winter. I burrowed into the softly lit cave of small offices, with stalactites of yellow post-its dripping from every imaginable surface. Tiptoeing over misaligned stacks of books and reprints, I had to resist the urge to pick up one of the worn works, ...
متن کاملRotations associated with Lorentz boosts
It is possible to associate two angles with two successive non-collinear Lorentz boosts. If one boost is applied after the initial boost, the result is the final boost preceded by a rotation called the Wigner rotation. The other rotation is associated with Wigner’s O(3)-like little group. These two angles are shown to be different. However, it is shown that the sum of these two rotation angles ...
