On Conformal Deformations
نویسنده
چکیده
For a conformal theory it is natural to seek the conformal moduli space, Mc to which it belongs, generated by the exactly marginal deformations. By now we should have the tools to determine Mc in the presence of enough supersymmetry. Here it is shown that its dimension is determined in terms of a certain index. Moreover, the D-term of the global group is an obstruction for deformation, in presence of a certain amount of preserved supersymmetry. As an example we find that the deformations of the membrane (3d) field theory, under certain conditions, are in 35/SL(4,C). Other properties including the local geometry of Mc are discussed.

Gehring–hayman Theorem for Conformal Deformations
We study conformal deformations of a uniform space that satisfies the Ahlfors Q−regularity condition on balls of Whitney type. We verify the Gehring–Hayman Theorem by using a Whitney Covering of the space.
متن کاملDeformations in Closed String Theory — Canonical Formulation and Regularization
We study deformations of closed string theory by primary fields of conformal weight (1, 1), using conformal techniques on the complex plane. A canonical surface integral formalism for computing commutators in a non-holomorphic theory is constructed, and explicit formulæ for deformations of operators are given. We identify the unique regularization of the arising divergences that respects confor...
متن کاملDetection of Shape Deformities Using Yamabe Flow and Beltrami Coefficients
We address the problem of detecting deformities on elastic surfaces. This is of great importance for shape analysis, with applications such as detecting abnormalities in biological shapes (e.g., brain structures). We propose an effective algorithm to detect abnormal deformations by generating quasi-conformal maps between the original and deformed surfaces. We firstly flatten the 3D surfaces con...
متن کاملTwistfield Perturbations of Vertex Operators in the Z2-Orbifold Model
Abstract: We apply Kadanoff’s theory of marginal deformations of conformal field theories to twistfield deformations of Z2 orbifold models in K3 moduli space. These deformations lead away from the Z2 orbifold sub-moduli-space and hence help to explore conformal field theories which have not yet been understood. In particular, we calculate the deformation of the conformal dimensions of vertex op...
متن کاملMarginal Deformations and 3-Algebra Structures
We study marginal deformations of superconformal Chern-Simons matter theories that are based on 3-algebras. For this, we introduce the notion of an associated 3-product, which captures very general gauge invariant deformations of the superpotentials of the BLG and ABJM models. We also consider conformal multi-trace deformations preserving N = 2 supersymmetry. We then use N = 2 supergraph techni...
متن کاملq-Conformal Invariant Equations and q-Plane Wave Solutions
We give new solutions of the quantum conformal deformations of the full Maxwell equations in terms of deformations of the plane wave. We study the compatibility of these solutions with the conservation of the current. We also start the study of quantum linear conformal (Weyl) gravity by writing the corresponding q-deformed equations.
