Graham-Witten's Conformal Invariant for Closed Four Dimensional Submanifolds

This chapter proves (1.17) when the worst terms in P(g) involve only factors of the differentiated Weyl tensor. This case is much harder than the previous one; in particular, in this case we need both a local conformal invariant W(g) and a divergence divᵢTⁱ(g) to prove (1.17). One obvious difficulty is how, upon inspection of P(g)subscript worst-piece, to separate the piece that must be cancelled out by a local conformal invariant from the piece that is cancelled out by a divergence. In a first step, we prove that we can first explicitly construct a local conformal invariant and a divergence and subtract them from P(g)subscript worst-piece, to be left with a new worst piece, which has some additional algebraic properties. In a second step, we show that this new worst piece can be cancelled out by subtracting a divergence.

Reggeon Field Theory

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.

It is shown that the functional integral for a σ field with values in the Poincare upper half-plane (and some other hyperbolic spaces) can be performed explicitly resulting in a conformal invariant noncanonical field theory in two dimensions.
