Four-dimensional conformal field theory using quaternions

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-04-03 v1

Abstract

We build a four-dimensional quaternion-parametrized conformal field theory (QCFT) using quaternion holomorphic functions as the generators of quaternionic conformal transformations. Taking the two-dimensional complex-parametrized conformal field theory (CCFT) as our model, we study the stress tensor, the conserved charge, the symmetry generators, the quantization conditions and several operator product expansions (OPE's). Future applications also are addressed.
