Description | Joint Theory Seminar Speaker: Jeff Fortin Title: Scale without Conformal Invariance Host: Luty Room: 432 Abstract: We investigate the theoretical implications of scale without conformal invariance in quantum field theory. We argue that the RG flows of such theories correspond to recurrent behaviors, i.e. limit cycles or ergodicity. We discuss the implications for the a-theorem and show how dilatation generators do generate dilatations. Finally, we discuss well-behaved non-conformal scale-invariant examples. |
