A natural realization of CPT violation in neutrino oscillation can arise due to the coupling to a light scalar or vector dark matter (DM). The dark non-standard interaction (NSI) is associated with the $\gamma_0$ matrix in neutrino's…

The majority of renormalizable field theories possessing the scale invariance at the classical level exhibits the trace anomaly once quantum corrections are taken into account. This leads to the breaking of scale and conformal invariance.…
We study the trace anomaly of the (2,0) tensor multiplet in d=6 in the presence of a background SO(5) vector field acting as a source for the R-current. Using both a free-field theory calculation and AdS_7/CFT_6 correspondence, we find that…
