Revisiting the Conformally Soft Sector with Celestial Diamonds
Celestial diamonds encode the structure of global conformal multiplets in 2D celestial CFT and offer a natural language for describing the conformally soft sector. The operators appearing at their left and right corners give rise to conformally soft factorization theorems, the bottom corners correspond to conserved charges, and the top corners to conformal dressings. We show that conformally soft charges can be expressed in terms of light ray integrals that select modes of the appropriate conformal weights. They reside at the bottom corners of memory diamonds, and ascend to generalized current…

CFT in Conformally Flat Spacetimes
A new class of conformal field theories is presented, where the background gravitational field is conformally flat. Conformally flat (CF) spacetimes enjoy conformal properties quite similar to the ones of flat spacetime. The conformal isometry group is of maximal rank and the conformal Killing vectors in conformally flat coordinates are {\em exactly} the same as the ones of flat spacetime. In this work, a new concept of distance is introduced, the {\em conformal distance}, which transforms covariantly under all conformal isometries of the CF space. It is shown that precisely for CF spacetimes,…

Constructing conformally invariant equations using Weyl geometry
A new method for the construction of conformally invariant equations in an arbitrary four dimensional (pseudo-) Riemannian space is presented. This method uses the Weyl geometry as a tool and exploits the natural conformal invariance we can build in the framework of this geometry. Indeed, working in a Weyl space, using the Weyl covariant derivative and the intrinsic Weylian geometrical tensors, all conformally homogeneous operators will be conformally invariant, as will the equations they determine. A Weyl space is defined by two independent objects: the metric tensor $g_{μν}$ and the Weyl vec…

共形耦合物质和Weyl引力理论中共形不变性的自发破缺
Spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance in theories of conformally coupled matter and Weyl gravity
研究了在共形不变相互作用下具有物质自由度的Weyl共形引力理论。具体地说，我们考虑了一个三重态的标量场和SO（3）非阿贝尔规范场，即Georgi-Schmidhow模型与Weyl引力共形耦合.我们发现，运动方程承认解决方案自发打破共形对称性和规范对称性，提供了一个机制，提供了一个规模的理论。真空解对应反德西特时空，而局域孤子解对应渐近反德西特时空中的磁单极子。由此产生的有效作用量产生了爱因斯坦引力和剩余U（1）规范理论。这一机制加强了共形不变的物质引力理论，这已经显示出有希望的迹象，在银河系旋转曲线失踪的问题考虑的理由。

Constructing conformally invariant equations by using Weyl geometry
We present a simple, systematic and practical method to construct conformally invariant equations in arbitrary Riemann spaces. This method that we call "Weyl-to-Riemann" is based on two features of Weyl geometry. i) A Weyl space is defined by the metric tensor and the Weyl vector $W$, it becomes equivalent to a Riemann space when $W$ is gradient. ii) Any homogeneous differential equation written in a Weyl space by means of the Weyl connection is conformally invariant. The Weyl-to-Riemann method selects those equations whose conformal invariance is preserved when reducing to a Riemann space. Ap…

Averaged null energy condition violation in a conformally flat spacetime
We show that the averaged null energy condition can be violated by a conformally coupled scalar field in a conformally flat spacetime in 3+1 dimensions. The violation is dependent on the quantum state and can be made as large as desired. It does not arise from the presence of anomalies, although anomalous violations are also possible. Since all geodesics in conformally flat spacetimes are achronal, the achronal averaged null energy condition is likewise violated.

Fake Conformal Symmetry in Unimodular Gravity
We study Weyl symmetry (local conformal symmetry) in unimodular gravity. It is shown that the Noether currents for both Weyl symmetry and global scale symmetry, identically vanish as in the conformally invariant scalar-tensor gravity. We clearly explain why in the class of conformally invariant gravitational theories, the Noether currents vanish by starting with the conformally invariant scalar-tensor gravity. Moreover, we comment on both classical and quantum-mechanical equivalences among Einstein's general relativity, the conformally invariant scalar-tensor gravity and the Weyl-transverse (W…

Conformally Dual to Inflation
It is showed by a conformal rescaling that the inflationary background can be dual to a slowly expanding background, which is almost Minkowski and described by a conformal field theory conformally coupled to gravity. It is proved that the primordial curvature perturbation and tensor perturbation generated during these two conformally equivalent backgrounds are completely equal, and the scale invariance of perturbations is determined by the conformal invariance of field theory in slowly expanding background. In dual slowly expanding scenario, the primordial universe is asymptotical to a static …

C-metric solution for conformal gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field
The C-metric solution of conformal gravity with a conformally coupled scalar field is presented. The solution belongs to the class of Petrov type D spacetimes and is conformal to the standard AdS C-metric appeared in vacuum Einstein gravity. For all parameter ranges, we identify some of the physically interesting static regions and the corresponding coordinate ranges. The solution may contain a black hole event horizon, an acceleration horizon, either of which may be cut by the conformal infinity or be hidden behind the conformal infinity. Since the model is conformally invariant, we also disc…

Conformally invariant wave equation for a symmetric second rank tensor ("spin-2") in d-dimensional curved background
We build the general conformally invariant linear wave operator for a free, symmetric, second-rank tensor field in a d-dimensional ($d\geqslant 2$) metric manifold, and explicit the special case of maximally symmetric spaces. Under the assumptions made, this conformally invariant wave operator is unique. The corresponding conformally invariant wave equation can be obtained from a Lagrangian which is explicitly given. We discuss how our result compares to previous works, in particular we hope to clarify the situation between conflicting results.
