This work deals with the conformal transformations in six-dimensional spinorial formalism. Several conformally invariant equations are obtained and their geometrical interpretation are worked out. Finally, the integrability conditions for…
The goal of these notes is to give a brief explanation of how electric-magnetic duality in four dimensions is related to the existence of an unusual conformal field theory in six dimensions.
We propose a new reconstruction method for scalar--tensor gravity based on the use of conformal transformations. The new method allows the derivation of a set of interesting exact cosmological solutions in brans Dicke gravity as well as…
This paper is based on my presentation at RIMS workshop on "Theory of Integrable Systems and Its Applications in Various Fields" held in Kyoto on 19--21, August 2015. The aim of the present paper is to give a short account of recent studies…
In the paper, the family of conformal four-point ladder diagrams in arbitrary space-time dimensions is considered. We use the representation obtained via explicit calculation using the operator approach and conformal quantum mechanics to…
Any four-dimensional $\mathcal{N} \geqslant 2$ superconformal field theory possess a protected subsector isomorphic to a two-dimensional chiral algebra \cite{Beem:2013sza}. The goal of these lectures is to provide an introduction to the…
We dicuss some curious aspects of the Rogers dilogarithm and the functional relations in integrable systems in two dimensions. This is for the proceedings of the XX1 Differential Geometry Methods in Theoretical Physics, Tianjin, China, 5-9…
The Lagrangian of Quantum Chromodynamics is invariant under conformal transformations. Although this symmetry is broken by quantum corrections, it has important consequences for strong interactions at short distances and provides one with…
We obtain analytic expressions of four-dimensional Euclidean $N$-point conformal integrals for arbitrary $N$ by solving a Lauricella-like system of differential equations derived earlier. We demonstrate their relation to the GKZ…
Conformal Cyclic Cosmology (CCC) is a cyclic model of the universe put forward by Sir Roger Penrose. A conformal invariance assumption in the neighbourhood of the crossover region between cycles (which Penrose calls aeons) allows successive…
This is a review of two-dimensional conformal field theory including some of the relations to integrable models. An effort is made to develop the basic formalism in a way which is as elementary and flexible as possible at the same time.…
The aim of this paper is to report on recent development on the conformal fractional Laplacian, both from the analytic and geometric points of view, but especially towards the PDE community.
The pp-wave (Penrose limit) in conformal field theory can be viewed as a special contraction of the unitary representations of the conformal group. We study the kinematics of conformal fields in this limit in a geometric approach where the…
This paper introduces the conformal model (an extension of the homogeneous coordinate system) for molecular geometry, where 3D space is represented within R^5 with an inner product different from the usual one. This model enables efficient…
A geometric picture of conformally invariant mechanics is presented. Although the standard form of the model is recovered, the careful analysis of global geometry of phase space leads to the conclusion that, in the attractive case, the…
We study conformal transformations in the most general parity-preserving models of the New General Relativity type. Then we apply them to analysis of cosmological perturbations in the (simplest) spatially flat cosmologies. Strong coupling…
A short review of recent results on exact solutions in multidimensional cosmology and overview of reports at workshop in MG8 (held by the author) are presented.
We construct field theories in $2+1$ dimensions with multiple conformal symmetries acting on only one of the spatial directions. These can be considered a conformal extension to "subsystem scale invariances", borrowing the language often…
These lectures give an introduction to the methods of conformal field theory as applied to deriving certain results in two-dimensional critical percolation: namely the probability that there exists at least one cluster connecting two…
We consider the diagonal limit of the conformal bootstrap in arbitrary dimensions and investigate the question if physical theories are given in terms of cyclic polytopes. Recently, it has been pointed out that in $d=1$, the geometric…
