Physical States of the Quantum Conformal Factor
Ignatios Antoniadis, Pawel O. Mazur, Emil Mottola
The conformal factor of the spacetime metric becomes dynamical due to the trace anomaly of matter fields. Its dynamics is described by an effective action which we quantize by cano…

Quantum Diffeomorphisms and Conformal Symmetry
Ignatios Antoniadis, Pawel O. Mazur, Emil Mottola
We analyze the constraints of general coordinate invariance for quantum theories possessing conformal symmetry in four dimensions. The character of these constraints simplifies eno…
