Abstract:
We establish a mathematically rigorous way to construct effective theories resulting from the spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance. We show that the Nambu–Goldstone field corresponding to spontaneously broken generators of special conformal transformations is always a nondynamical degree of freedom. We prove that the developed approach and the standard approach including application of the inverse Higgs mechanism are equivalent.
Keywords:
conformal field theory, coset space technique, inverse Higgs phenomenon, spontaneous space–time symmetry breaking.
