Conformal invariance from non-conformal gravity
We discuss the conditions under which classically conformally invariant models in four dimensions can arise out of non-conformal (Einstein) gravity. As an ‘existence proof’ that this is indeed possible we show how to derive N = 4 super Yang Mills theory with any compact gauge group G from non-conformal gauged N = 4 supergravity as a special flat space limit. We stress the role that the anticipa...
متن کاملMassive Gravity
We review recent progress in massive gravity. We start by showing how different theories of massive gravity emerge from a higher-dimensional theory of general relativity, leading to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati model (DGP), cascading gravity, and ghost-free massive gravity. We then explore their theoretical and phenomenological consistency, proving the absence of Boulware-Deser ghosts and review...
متن کاملCompactifications of conformal gravity
We study conformal theories of gravity, i.e. those whose action is invariant under the local transformation gμν → ω(x)gμν . As is well known, in order to obtain Einstein gravity in 4D it is necessary to introduce a scalar compensator with a VEV that spontaneously breaks the conformal invariance and generates the Planck mass. We show that the compactification of extra dimensions in a higher dime...
متن کاملConformal Fourth-rank Gravity
We consider the consequences of describing the metric properties of space-time through a quartic line element ds = Gμνλρdx dxdxdx. The associated ”metric” is a fourth-rank tensor Gμνλρ. We construct a theory for the gravitational field based on the fourth-rank metric Gμνλρ which is conformally invariant in four dimensions. In the absence of matter the fourth-rank metric becomes of the form Gμνλ...
متن کاملMassive-Conformal Dictionary
The finite-volume spectrum of an integrable massive perturbation of a rational confor-mal field theory interpolates between massive multi-particle states in infinite volume (IR limit) and conformal states, which are approached at zero volume (UV limit). Each state is labeled in the IR by a set of 'Bethe Ansatz quantum numbers', while in the UV limit it is characterized primarily by the conforma...
