    Boundary Conformal Anomalies on Hyperbolic Spaces and Euclidean Balls

    Get PDF
    We compute conformal anomalies for conformal field theories with free conformal scalars and massless spin 1/21/2 fields in hyperbolic space Hd\mathbb{H}^d and in the ball Bd\mathbb{B}^d, for 2≀d≀72\leq d\leq 7. These spaces are related by a conformal transformation. In even dimensional spaces, the conformal anomalies on H2n\mathbb{H}^{2n} and B2n\mathbb{B}^{2n} are shown to be identical. In odd dimensional spaces, the conformal anomaly on B2n+1\mathbb{B}^{2n+1} comes from a boundary contribution, which exactly coincides with that of H2n+1\mathbb{H}^{2n+1} provided one identifies the UV short-distance cutoff on B2n+1\mathbb{B}^{2n+1} with the inverse large distance IR cutoff on H2n+1\mathbb{H}^{2n+1}, just as prescribed by the conformal map. As an application, we determine, for the first time, the conformal anomaly coefficients multiplying the Euler characteristic of the boundary for scalars and half-spin fields with various boundary conditions in d=5d=5 and d=7d=7.Comment: 16 pages.

    Free Surface RANSE Analisys Around Fixed Fully Appended

    Get PDF
    This paper presents results of Free Surface RANSE (Reynolds Average Navier Stokes Equations) simulations of the flow around a MedCup TP52. Appendages forces calculations are important to know their hydrodynamic characteristics when they work jointly. In the ETSIN towing tank, some tests had begun to measure hydrodynamics forces in each appendage that allowed evaluate the forces distribution in different conditions. StarCCM+ has been used to compute drag, lift and wave elevation. It is shown how the CFD analysis has been prepared and the results obtained in these simulations comparing experimental with numerical results and the grid influence on it. Finally, it is observed that with limited resources, reasonable good results could be obtained

    Operator Mixing in Large NN Superconformal Field Theories on S4\mathbb{S}^4 and Correlators with Wilson loops

    Get PDF
    We find a general formula for the operator mixing on the S4\mathbb{S}^4 of chiral primary operators (CPO) for the N=4{\cal N}=4 theory at large NN in terms of Chebyshev polynomials. As an application, we compute the correlator of a CPO and a Wilson loop, reproducing an earlier result by Giombi and Pestun obtained from a two-matrix model proposal. Finally, we discuss a simple method to obtain correlators in general N=2{\cal N}=2 superconformal field theories in perturbation theory in terms of correlators of the N=4{\cal N}=4 theory.Comment: 15 pages, no figure

    A limit for large RR-charge correlators in N=2\mathcal{N}=2 theories

    Get PDF
    Using supersymmetric localization, we study the sector of chiral primary operators (Tr ϕ2)n({\rm Tr} \, \phi^2 )^n with large RR-charge 4n4n in N=2\mathcal{N}=2 four-dimensional superconformal theories in the weak coupling regime g→0g\rightarrow 0, where λ≥g2n\lambda\equiv g^2n is kept fixed as n→∞n\to\infty , gg representing the gauge theory coupling(s). In this limit, correlation functions G2nG_{2n} of these operators behave in a simple way, with an asymptotic behavior of the form G2n≈F∞(λ)(λ2πe)2n nαG_{2n}\approx F_{\infty}(\lambda) \left(\frac{\lambda}{2\pi e}\right)^{2n}\ n^\alpha , modulo O(1/n)O(1/n) corrections, with α=12dim(g)\alpha=\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{dim}(\mathfrak{g}) for a gauge algebra g\mathfrak{g} and a universal function F∞(λ)F_{\infty}(\lambda). As a by-product we find several new formulas both for the partition function as well as for perturbative correlators in N=2{\cal N}=2 su(N)\mathfrak{su}(N) gauge theory with 2N2N fundamental hypermultiplets
