Conformal mapping has been applied mostly to harmonic functions, i.e. solutions of Laplace's equation. In this paper, it is noted that some other equations are also conformally invariant and thus equally well suited for conformal mapping in…

Two-dimensional Fermi gases with universal short-range interactions are known to exhibit a quantum anomaly, where a classical scale and conformal invariance is broken by quantum effects at strong coupling. We argue that in a quasi…
We show that, by viewing a 4D effective-field theory as the infrared (IR) limit of the compactified version in 5D, we can compute two-loop anomalous dimensions without gauge-breaking counter-terms, IR re-arrangement or geometric methods.…

We generalize the effective potential to scalar field configurations which are proportional to the Hubble parameter of a homogeneous and isotropic background geometry. This may be useful in situations for which curvature effects are…
The chiral Abelian Higgs model is studied at finite temperature. By integrating out the heavy modes, we make a three-dimensional effective theory for the static modes. It is demonstrated that the plasma masses are correctly reproduced to…

We find under some mild assumptions that the most general potential of 1-dimensional conformal systems with time independent couplings is expressed as $V=V_0+V_1$, where $V_0$ is a homogeneous function with respect to a homothetic motion in…
In QFT the effective potential is an important tool to study symmetry breaking phenomena. It is known that, in some theories, the canonical approach and the path-integral approach yield different effective potentials. In this paper we…
