چکیده

Evidence has recently emerged for a hidden symmetry of scattering amplitudes in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory called dual conformal symmetry. At weak coupling the presence of this symmetry has been observed through five loops, while at strong coupling the symmetry has been shown to have a natural interpretation in terms of a T-dualized AdS5. In this paper we study dual conformally invariant off-shell four-point Feynman diagrams. We classify all such diagrams through four loops and evaluate 10 new off-shell integrals in terms of Mellin-Barnes representations, also finding explicit expressions for their infrared singularities.

The Boundary State Formalism and Conformal Invariance in Off-shell String Theory

In this note we present a generalization of the boundary state formalism for the bosonic string that allows us to calculate the overlap of the boundary state with arbitrary closed string states. We show that this generalization exactly reproduces world-sheet sigma model calculations, thus giving the correct overlap with both onand off-shell string states, and that this new boundary state automa...

Conformally invariant off-shell string physics.

Using recent advances in the understanding of non-critical strings, we construct a unique, conformally invariant continuation to off-shell momenta of Polyakov amplitudes in critical string theory. Three-point amplitudes are explicitly calculated. These off-shell amplitudes possess some unusual, apparently stringy, characteristics, which are unlikely to be reproduced in a string field theory. Th...

Conformal Invariance for Non-Relativistic Field Theory

Momentum space Ward identities are derived for the amputated n-point Green’s functions in 3 + 1 dimensional non-relativistic conformal field theory. For n = 4 and 6 the implications for scattering amplitudes (i.e. on-shell amputated Green’s functions) are considered. Any scale invariant 2-to-2 scattering amplitude is also conformally invariant. However, conformal invariance imposes constraints ...

Pii: S0020-7683(96)00200-4

Al~tract--By employing the second-order Noether's theorem, several new invariant integrals have been derived for the non-linear shallow shell--the Marguerre-von K~irm~in shell. The dynamic effect is considered in the derivations. These invariant integrals are path-independent over the projection image of the middle surface of the shell in a Cartesian plane, in which the projection area of the m...

Sharp Inequalities for Functional Integrals and Traces of Conformally Invariant Operators

The intertwining operators Ad = Ad(g) on the round sphere (Sn, g) are the conformal analogues of the power Laplacians 1d/2 on the flat Rn . To each metric ρg, conformally equivalent to g, we can naturally associate an operator Ad(ρg), which is compact, elliptic, pseudodifferential of order d, and which has eigenvalues λ j (ρ); the special case d = 2 gives precisely the conformal Laplacian in th...
