Reduced conformal symmetry

چکیده
A bstract We construct field theories in 2 + 1 dimensions with multiple conformal symmetries acting on only one of the spatial directions. These can be considered a extension to “subsystem scale invariances”, borrowing language often used for fractons.

متن کاملExtended Conformal Symmetry
We show that the grading of fields by conformal weight, when built into the initial group symmetry, provides a discrete, non-central conformal extension of any group containing dilatations. We find a faithful vector representation of the extended conformal group and show that it has a scale-invariant scalar product and satisfies a closed commutator algebra. The commutator algebra contains the i...
متن کاملNeutrinos, Axions and Conformal Symmetry
We demonstrate that radiative breaking of conformal symmetry (and simultaneously electroweak symmetry) in the Standard Model with right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector induces spontaneous breaking of lepton number symmetry, which naturally gives rise to an axion-like particle with some unusual features. The couplings of this ‘axion’ to Standard Model particles, in partic...
متن کاملSymmetric Spaces with Conformal Symmetry
We consider an involutive automorphism of the conformal algebra and the resulting symmetric space. We display a new action of the conformal group which gives rise to this space. The space has an intrinsic symplectic structure, a group-invariant metric and connection, and serves as the model space for a new conformal gauge theory. ∗Electronic-mail: [email protected]
متن کاملConformal Symmetry and Cosmological Entropy Production
Introducing an effective refraction index of an isotropic cosmic medium, we investigate the cosmological fluid dynamics which is consistent with a conformal, timelike symmetry of a corresponding “optical” metric. We demonstrate that this kind of symmetry is compatible with the existence of a negative viscous pressure and, consequently, with cosmological entropy production. We establish an exact...
