We study scale invariant but not necessarily conformal invariant deformations of nonrelativistic conformal field theories from the dual gravity viewpoint. We present the corresponding metric that solves the Einstein equation coupled with a massive vector field. We find that, within the class of metric we study, when we assume the Galilean invariance, the scale invariant deformation always preserves the nonrelativistic conformal invariance. We discuss applications to scaling regime of Reggeon field theory and nonlinear quantum finance. These theories possess scale invariance but may or may not break the conformal invariance, depending on the underlying symmetry assumptions.

We investigate a one-dimensional quantum mechanical model, which is invariant under translations and dilations but does not respect the conventional conformal invariance. We describe the possibility of modifying the conventional conformal transformation such that a scale invariant theory is also invariant under this new conformal transformation.

The derivation of the a-theorem recently proposed by Komargodski and Schwimmer relies on the ϵ-conjecture that demands decoupling of dilaton from the rest of the infrared theory. We point out that the decoupling, if true, provides a strong evidence for the equivalence between scale invariance and conformal invariance in four dimensions. Thus, a complete proof of the a-theorem along the line of their argument in the most generic scenario would establish the equivalence between scale invariance and conformal invariance, which is another long-standing conjecture in four-dimensional quantum field theories.

We investigate a possibility of scale invariant but nonconformal supersymmetric field theories from a perturbative approach. The explicit existence of monotonically decreasing a-function that generates beta-functions as a gradient flow provides a strong obstruction for such a possibility at two-loop order. We comment on the "discovery" of scale invariant but nonconformal renormalization group trajectories via a "change of scheme" in (4-ϵ) dimension proposed in literatures.
