Analysis of All Dimensionful Parameters Relevant in Gravitational Dressing of Conformal Theories
نویسنده
چکیده
Starting from a covariant and background independent definition of normal ordered vertex operators we give an alternative derivation of the KPZ relation between conformal dimensions and their gravitational dressed partners. With our method we are able to study for arbitrary genus the dependence of N-point functions on all dimensionful parameters. Implications for the interpretation of gravitational dressed dimensions are discussed. CERN-TH.6285/91 Permanent address: IEP, Humboldt Universität, Berlin

Gravitational Dressing of Aharonov-bohm Amplitudes *
We investigate Aharonov-Bohm scattering in a theory in which charged bosonic matter fields are coupled to topologically massive electrodynamics and topologically massive gravity. We demonstrate that, at one-loop order, the transmuted spins in this theory are related to the ones of ordinary Chern-Simons gauge theory in the same way that the Knizhnik-Polyakov-Zamolodchikov formula relates the Lio...
متن کاملTowards c = 0 flows
We discuss some implications of the gravitational dressing of the renormalization group for conformal field theories perturbed by relevant operators. The renormalization group flows are defined with respect to the dilatation operator associated with the J (0) 0 mode of the SL(2, R) affine algebra. We discuss the possibility of passing under the c = 25 barrier along renormalization group flows i...
متن کاملGravitational Dressing of Massive Soliton Theories
The massive soliton theories describe integrable perturbations of WZW cosets as generalized multi-component sine-Gordon models. We study their coupling to 2-dim gravity in the conformal gauge and show that the resulting models can be interpreted as conformal non-Abelian Toda theories when a certain algebraic condition is satisfied. These models, however, do not provide quantum mechanically cons...
متن کاملGeneralized conformal structure, dilaton gravity and SYK
A theory admits generalized conformal structure if the only scale in the quantum theory is set by a dimensionful coupling. SYK is an example of a theory with generalized conformal structure and in this paper we investigate the consequences of this structure for correlation functions and for the holographic realization of SYK. The Ward identities associated with the generalized conformal structu...
متن کاملConformal transformations in classical gravitational theories and in cosmology
In recent years, the use of conformal transformation techniques has become widespread in the literature on gravitational theories alternative to general relativity, on cosmology, and on nonminimally coupled scalar fields. Tipically, the transformation to the Einstein frame is generated by a fundamental scalar field already present in the theory. In this context, the problem of which conformal f...
