| Description | Joint Theory Seminar Speaker: Kazuya Yonekura (IAS) Title: Scale v.s. conformal invariance in four dimensions Host: M.Luty Room: 432 Abstract: I argue that every unitary scale invariant theory is conformally invariant in four dimensions. The argument follows that of Luty, Polchinski and Rattazzi, and is based on additional assumptions that: (1) A kind of crossing symmetry for vanishing matrix elements holds regardless of the existence of the S-matrix. (2) Correlation functions in momentum space are analytic functions other than singularities and branch cuts coming from on-shell processes. (3) The Wightman axioms are sufficient criteria of the locality of an operator. |
