A Note on the Conformal Invariance of G-generalized Gradients
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider generalized gradients in the general context of G-structures. They are natural first order differential operators acting on sections of vector bundles associated to irreducible G-representations. We study their geometric properties and show in particular their conformal invariance. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary 53C10, 53A30, 58J60.

On Infinitesimal Conformal Transformations of the Tangent Bundles with the Generalized Metric
Let be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on . Furthermore, the correspondence gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal ...

According to the perturbation order, the equations of motion of low-energy string effective action are the generalized Einstein equations. Thus, by making use of the conformal transformation of the metric tensor, it is possible to map the low-energy string effective action into f(T) gravity, relating the dilaton field to the torsion scalar. Considering a homogeneous and isotropic universe and ...
متن کاملω-NARROWNESS AND RESOLVABILITY OF TOPOLOGICAL GENERALIZED GROUPS
Abstract. A topological group H is called ω -narrow if for every neighbourhood V of it’s identity element there exists a countable set A such that V A = H = AV. A semigroup G is called a generalized group if for any x ∈ G there exists a unique element e(x) ∈ G such that xe(x) = e(x)x = x and for every x ∈ G there exists x − 1 ∈ G such that x − 1x = xx − 1 = e(x). Also le...
متن کاملRationality of conformally invariant local correlation functions on compactified Minkowski space
Rationality of the Wightman functions is proven to follow from energy positivity, locality and a natural condition of global conformal invariance (GCI) in any number D ≥ 2 of space-time dimensions. The GCI condition allows to treat correlation functions as generalized sections of a vector bundle over the compactification M of Minkowski space M and yields a strong form of locality valid for all ...
متن کاملIs boundary conformal in CFT?
We discuss boundary conditions for conformal field theories that preserve the boundary Poincaré invariance. As in the bulk field theories, a question arises whether boundary scale invariance leads to boundary conformal invariance. With unitarity, Cardy’s condition of vanishing momentum flow is necessary for the boundary conformal invariance, but it is not sufficient in general. We show both a p...
