Coordinate-invariant Path Integral Methods in Conformal Field Theory
We present a coordinate-invariant approach, based on a Pauli-Villars measure, to the definition of the path integral in two-dimensional conformal field theory. We discuss some advantages of this approach compared to the operator formalism and alternative path integral approaches. We show that our path integral measure is invariant under conformal transformations and field reparametrizations, in...
متن کاملNonabelian Topological Mass Generation in 4 Dimensions
We study the topological mass generation in the 4 dimensional nonabelian gauge theory, which is the extension of the Allen et al.’s work in the abelian theory. It is crucial to introduce a one form auxiliary field in constructing the gauge invariant nonabelian action which contains both the one form vector gauge field A and the two form antisymmetric tensor field B. As in the abelian case, the ...

متن کامل4 Path Integral Techniques in Conformal Field Theory
We present the theory of a two-dimensional conformal scalar field using path integral techniques. We derive the conformal anomaly using an adaptation of the method of Fujikawa, and compare the result with a derivation based on a Pauli-Villars measure, where the anomaly is shifted from the path integral measure to the energy-momentum trace. In the path integral approach the energy-momentum is a ...
متن کاملEta Invariant and Conformal Cobordism
In this note we study the problem of conformally flat structures bounding conformally flat structures and show that the eta invariants give obstructions. These lead us to the definition of an Abelian group, the conformal cobordism group, which classifies the conformally flat structures according to whether they bound conformally flat structures in a conformally invariant way. The eta invariant ...
