Comments on Trace Anomaly Matching
Adam Schwimmer, Stefan Theisen
The structure of type A and B trace anomalies is reanalyzed in terms of the universal behaviour of dimension -2 invariant amplitudes. Based on it a general argument for trace anoma…
Comments on Anomalies in Supersymmetric Theories
Sergei M. Kuzenko, Adam Schwimmer, Stefan Theisen
We analyse the relation between anomalies in their manifestly supersymmetric formulation in superspace and their formulation in Wess-Zumino (WZ) gauges. We show that there is a one…
Moduli Anomalies and Local Terms in the Operator Product Expansion
Adam Schwimmer, Stefan Theisen
Local terms in the Operator Product Expansion in Superconformal Theories with extended supersymmetry are identified. Assuming a factorized structure for these terms their contribut…
Anomalies, Conformal Manifolds, and Spheres
Jaume Gomis, Po-Shen Hsin, Zohar Komargodski +3
The two-point function of exactly marginal operators leads to a universal contribution to the trace anomaly in even dimensions. We study aspects of this trace anomaly, emphasizing…
Comments on the Algebraic Properties of Dilaton Actions
Adam Schwimmer, Stefan Theisen
We study the relation between the dilaton action and sigma models for the Goldstone bosons of the spontaneous breaking of the conformal group. We argue that the relation requires t…
On Scale and Conformal Invariance in Four Dimensions
Anatoly Dymarsky, Zohar Komargodski, Adam Schwimmer +1
We study the implications of scale invariance in four-dimensional quantum field theories. Imposing unitarity, we find that infinitely many matrix elements vanish in a suitable kine…
