Universal definition of the non-conformal trace anomaly
Renata Ferrero, Sebastián A. Franchino-Viñas, Markus B. Fröb +1
We show that there exists a generalized, universal notion of the trace anomaly for theories which are not conformally invariant at the classical level. The definition is suitable f…
