Conformally Covariant Differential Operators: Symmetric Tensor Fields
J. Erdmenger, H. Osborn
We extend previous work on conformally covariant differential operators to consider the case of second order operators acting on symmetric traceless tensor fields. The correspondin…

Modified Weak Energy Condition for the Energy Momentum Tensor in Quantum Field Theory
J. I. Latorre, H. Osborn
The weak energy condition is known to fail in general when applied to expectation values of the the energy momentum tensor in flat space quantum field theory. It is shown how the u…

Conformal Invariance and Electrodynamics: Applications and General Formalism
C. Codirla, H. Osborn
The role of the conformal group in electrodynamics in four space-time dimensions is re-examined. As a pedagogic example we use the application of conformal transformations to find…
