Conformal symmetry in nuclear structure [PDF]
Nuclear Physics A, 2021 The purpose of this paper is to introduce the unitary limit as applied in systems of cold atoms into collective states of heavy, even-even nuclei and to identify a related physical example. This is accompanied by the determination of observables of conformal symmetry in nuclear structure.

Conformal Symmetries of Spherical Spacetimes [PDF]
International Journal of Theoretical Physics, 2008 We investigate the conformal geometry of spherically symmetric spacetimes in general without specifying the form of the matter distribution. The general conformal Killing symmetry is obtained subject to a number of integrability conditions. Previous results relating to static spacetimes are shown to be a special case of our solution.

Conformal symmetries of spacetimes [PDF]
Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 2002 The cycle-preserving symmetries for the nine two-dimensional real spaces of constant curvature are collectively obtained within a Cayley-Klein framework. This approach affords a unified and global study of the conformal structure of the three classical Riemannian spaces as well as of the six relativistic and non-relativistic spacetimes (Minkowskian, de

Neutrinos, axions and conformal symmetry [PDF]
The European Physical Journal C, 2008 We demonstrate that radiative breaking of conformal symmetry (and simultaneously electroweak symmetry) in the Standard Model with right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector induces spontaneous breaking of lepton number symmetry, which naturally gives rise to an axion-like particle with some unusual features.

Hidden Conformal Symmetry in Tree-Level Graviton Scattering [PDF]
, 2018 We argue that the scattering of gravitons in ordinary Einstein gravity possesses a hidden conformal symmetry at tree level in any number of dimensions. The presence of this conformal symmetry is indicated by the dilaton soft theorem in string theory, and

Dual conformal invariance in the Regge limit [PDF]
, 2010 A dual conformal symmetry, analogous to the dual conformal symmetry observed for the scattering amplitudes of N=4 Super Yang-Mills theory, is identified in the Regge limit of QCD.

Accidental symmetries and the conformal bootstrap [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 We study an ${\cal N} = 2$ supersymmetric generalization of the three-dimensional critical $O(N)$ vector model that is described by $N+1$ chiral superfields with superpotential $W = g_1 X \sum_i Z_i^2 + g_2 X^3$. By combining the tools of the conformal bootstrap with results obtained through supersymmetric localization, we argue that this model ...

Extended conformal symmetries [PDF]
Journal of Geometry and Physics, 1993 Written in a nice pedagogical style this article provides a rigorous introduction into the subject of \(W\)-algebras. After a brief review of the basic properties of the Virasoro symmetries, the author discusses the most simple example of a higher-spin extension of the Virasoro algebra, namely the \(W_ 3\)-algebra, and further extends the analysis to ...

Chiral Scale and Conformal Invariance in 2D Quantum Field Theory [PDF]
, 2011 It is well known that a local, unitary Poincare-invariant 2D QFT with a global scaling symmetry and a discrete non-negative spectrum of scaling dimensions necessarily has both a left and a right local conformal symmetry.

Quantum diffeomorphisms and conformal symmetry [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1997 We analyze the constraints of general coordinate invariance for quantum theories possessing conformal symmetry in four dimensions. The character of these constraints simplifies enormously on the Einstein universe $R \times S^3$. The $SO(4,2)$ global conformal symmetry algebra of this space determines uniquely a finite shift in the Hamiltonian ...
