Scale invariance vs conformal invariance

Y Nakayama - Physics Reports, 2015 - Elsevier
In this review article, we discuss the distinction and possible equivalence between scale
invariance and conformal invariance in relativistic quantum field theories. Under some …

Log canonical thresholds of smooth Fano threefolds

IA Cheltsov, KA Shramov - Russian Mathematical Surveys, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
The complex singularity exponent is a local invariant of a holomorphic function determined
by the integrability of fractional powers of the function. The log canonical thresholds of …

Towards the F-theorem: field theories on the three-sphere

DL Jafferis, IR Klebanov, SS Pufu, BR Safdi - Journal of High Energy …, 2011 - Springer
For 3-dimensional field theories with\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) supersymmetry the Euclidean path
integrals on the three-sphere can be calculated using the method of localization; they …

[图书][B] Sasakian geometry

C Boyer, K Galicki - 2007 - academic.oup.com
Sasakian manifolds were first introduced in 1962. This book's main focus is on the intricate
relationship between Sasakian and Kähler geometries, especially when the Kähler structure …

Counting BPS operators in gauge theories: quivers, syzygies and plethystics

holography. We consider geometries comprising compact and non-compact toric orbifolds …

Transverse Kähler geometry of Sasaki manifolds and toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds

A Futaki, H Ono, G Wang - Journal of Differential Geometry, 2009 - projecteuclid.org
In this paper we study compact Sasaki manifolds in view of transverse Kähler geometry and
extend some results in Kähler geometry to Sasaki manifolds. In particular we define integral …
