On conformal reflections in compactified phase space
نویسنده
چکیده
Some results from arguments of research dealt with R. Raczka are exposed and extended. In particular new arguments are brought in favor of the conjecture, formulated with him, that both space-time and momentum may be conformally compactified, building up a compact phase space of automorphism for the conformal group, where conformal reflections determine a convolution between space-time and momentum space which may have consequences of interest for both classical and quantum physics.

On Conformally Compactified Phase Space
Conformally compactified phase space is conceived as an automorphism space for the global action of the extended conformal group. Space time and momentum space appear then as conformally dual, that is conjugate with respect to conformal reflections. If now the former, as generally agreed, is appropriate for the description of classical mechanics in euclidean geometrical form, then the latter re...
متن کاملLarge-N volume independence in conformal and confining gauge theories
Consequences of large N volume independence are examined in conformal and confining gauge theories. In the large N limit, gauge theories compactified on Rd−k × (S) are independent of the S radii, provided the theory has unbroken center symmetry. In particular, this implies that a large N gauge theory which, on R, flows to an IR fixed point, retains the infinite correlation length and other scal...
متن کاملConformal Deformation of Spacelike Surfaces in Minkowski Space
We address the problem of second order conformal deformation of spacelike surfaces in compactified Minkowski 4-space. We explain the construction of the exterior differential system of conformal deformations and discuss its general and singular solutions. In particular, we show that isothermic surfaces are singular solutions of the system, which implies that a generic second order deformable su...
متن کاملModuli Space of Unstable D-branes on a Circle of Critical Radius
We study the moduli space of the boundary conformal field theories describing an unstable D-brane of type II string theory compactified on a circle of critical radius. This moduli space has two branches, – a three dimensional branch S/Z2 and a two dimensional branch described by a square torus T . These two branches are joined along a circle. We compare this with the moduli space of classical s...
متن کاملTutorial on Reflections in Geometric Algebra
This tutorial focuses on describing the implementation and use of reflections in the geometric algebras of three-dimensional (3D) Euclidean space and in the five-dimensional (5D) conformal model of Euclidean space. In the latter reflections at parallel planes serve to implement translations as well. Combinations of reflections allow to implement all isometric transformations. As a concrete exam...
