Tutorial on Scale and Conformal Symmetries in Diverse Dimensions
R. Jackiw, S. -Y. Pi
We review the relation between scale and conformal symmetries in various models and dimensions. We present a dimensional reduction from relativistic to non-relativistic conformal d…
Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces
D. Grumiller, R. Jackiw
Kaluza-Klein reduction of conformally flat spaces is considered for arbitrary dimensions. The corresponding equations are particularly elegant for the reduction from four to three…
S. S. Chern and Chern-Simons Terms
R. Jackiw
Some properties of Chern-Simons terms are presented and their physical utility is surveyed.
A Pure Cotton Kink in a Funny Place
R. Jackiw
When the 3-dimensional gravitational Chern-Simons term is reduced to two dimensions a dilaton-like gravity theory emerges. Its solutions involve kinks, which therefore describe 3-d…
