Conformal invariance from scale invariance in non-linear sigma models

Yu Nakayama

There exists a certain argument that in even dimensions, scale invariant quantum field theories are conformal invariant. We may try to extend the argument in dimensions, but the naive extension has a small loophole, which indeed shows an obstruction in non-linear sigma models in dimensions. Even though it could have failed due to the loophole, we show that scale invariance does imply conformal invariance of non-linear sigma models in dimension from the seminal work by Perelman on the Ricci flow.

What this page covers

NP-RC-701422 is Yu Nakayama's permanent number in the Ricci flow community on Neckpinch. It stays with them through any change of name or post. More about these numbers.

A window on one part of a person's work: papers here go back to 2016 and cover Ricci flow and its neighbouring flows, with the older work the site recommends, so this page is no measure of anyone's whole output. Being listed is not an endorsement by or of the person. If two people share this name, their work may appear together here. How it is put together.
