Extended conformal symmetries [PDF]
Journal of Geometry and Physics, 1993 We discuss various aspects of two-dimensional extended conformal symmetries, better known under the name “W-symmetries†. In particular, we discuss the gauging of W-symmetries and the construction of the so-called “W-gravity†theories.

Higher-dimensional symmetry of AdS2×S2 correlators
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 It was recently shown that IIB supergravity on AdS5×S5 enjoys 10d conformal symmetry and that superstring theory on this background can be described using a 10d scalar effective field theory.

Conformal symmetry and the Standard Model
Physics Letters B, 2007 We re-examine the question of radiative symmetry breaking in the standard model in the presence of right-chiral neutrinos and a minimally enlarged scalar sector. We demonstrate that, with these extra ingredients, the hypothesis of classically unbroken conformal symmetry, besides naturally introducing and stabilizing a hierarchy, is compatible with all ...

Conformal symmetry and the chiral anomaly [PDF]
Physical Review D, 1997 Two-loop contributions to the anomalous correlation function of three chiral currents are calculated by a method based on the conformal properties of massless field theories. The method was previously applied to virtual photon diagrams in quantum electrodynamics, and it is extended here to diagrams with scalars and chiral spinors in the abelian Higgs ...

AdS3 gravity and the complex SYK models
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We provide a non-conformal generalization of the Compère-Song-Strominger (CSS) boundary conditions for AdS3 gravity that breaks the u ̂ 1 $$ \hat{u}(1) $$ Kac-Moody-Virasoro symmetry to two u(1)s.

Affine sl(N) conformal blocks from N=2 SU(N) gauge theories [PDF]
, 2010 Recently Alday and Tachikawa proposed a relation between conformal blocks in a two-dimensional theory with affine sl(2) symmetry and instanton partition functions in four-dimensional conformal N=2 SU(2) quiver gauge theories in the presence of a certain ...

Symmetries of $\mathcal{N} = (1,0)$ supergravity backgrounds in six dimensions [PDF]
, 2020 General $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ supergravity-matter systems in six dimensions may be described using one of the two fully fledged superspace formulations for conformal supergravity: (i) $\mathsf{SU}(2)$ superspace; and (ii) conformal superspace. With motivation to develop rigid supersymmetric field theories in curved space, this paper is devoted to the ...

Quantization of the conformal arclength functional on space curves [PDF]
, 2017 By a conformal string in Euclidean space is meant a closed critical curve with non-constant conformal curvatures of the conformal arclength functional. We prove that (1) the set of conformal classes of conformal strings is in 1-1 correspondence with the ...

Classical limit of large N gauge theories with conformal symmetry [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 In this paper we study classical limit of conformal field theories realized by large N gauge theories using the generalized coherent states. For generic large N gauge theories with conformal symmetry, we show that the classical limit of t hem is ...

The shadow formalism of Galilean CFT2
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 In this work, we develop the shadow formalism for two-dimensional Galilean conformal field theory (GCFT2). We define the principal series representation of Galilean conformal symmetry group and find its relation with the Wigner classification, then we ...
