Conformal Gravity (CG) is a Weyl--invariant metric theory whose action is free from divergences for generic asymptotically anti-de Sitter spaces. For Neumann boundary conditions, it reduces to renormalized Einstein--AdS gravity at tree…

Conformal theories in a d dimensional spacetime may be expressed as manifestly conformal theories in a d+2 dimensional conformal space as first proposed by Dirac. The reduction to d dimensions goes via the d+1 dimensional hypercone in the…
It has been recently argued that interacting self-avoiding walks (ISAW) of length $ \ell , $ in their low temperature phase (i.e. below the $ \Theta $-point) should have a partition function of the form: $$ Q_{\ell} \sim \mu^{ \ell}_ 0\mu^{…
