5 Conformal Transformations 1 conserve the interval ds 2 g x dx dx 2 only change the scale of the metric g x x g x preserve the angles and leave the light-cone invariant Translations Rotations and Lorentz boosts Dilatation (global scale transformation) x x x Inversion x x x x 2 Special conformal transformation x x x a x 2 1 2a x a 2 x 2 = inversion, translation x x a, inversion
6 Conformal Algebra The full conformal algebra includes 15 generators P (4 translations) M (6 Lorentz rotations) D (dilatation) K (4 special conformal transformations)
7 Collinear Subgroup P = P z x x x Special conformal transformation 1 2ax translations x x x c dilatations x x x form the so-called collinear subgroup SL 2 R 1 p p0 2 p z p 1 p0 2 p z 0 px p x a b c d ad bc 1 c d 2j a b c d where x x n is the quantum field with scaling dimension and spin projection s living on the light-ray Conformal spin: j l s 2

9 SL 2 Algebra is generated by P, M, D and K L L1 il 2 ip L L1 il 2 i2 K L 0 i2 D M E i2 D M can be traded for the algebra of differential operators acting on the field coordinates L L L L L0 L0 L d L L 0 d 2 d 2j d d d j They satisfy the SL 2 commutation relations L0 L L L L 2L0 The remaining generator E counts the twist t s of the field E 1 s 2 collinear twist = dimension - spin projection on the plus-direction
10 Conformal Towers A local field operator that has fixed spin projection on the light-cone is an eigenstate of the quadratic Casimir operator i Li L i j j 1 L 2 with the operator L 2 defined as L 2 L 2 0 L 2 1 L 2 2 L 2 L i 0 Moreover, the field at the origin 0 is an eigenstate of L 0 with the eigenvalue j 0 annihilated by L L 0 0 L0 0 j 0 j and is A complete operator basis can be obtained from 0 by applying the raising operator L 0 0 k L L L 0 k 0 From the commutation relations it follows that L0 k k j k non-compact spin: j 0 j k, k 0 1 2
11 Adjoint Representation Two different complete sets of states: for arbitrary k for arbitrary k Relation = Taylor series: k 0 k k k In general: Two equivalent descriptions light-ray operators (nonlocal) local operators with derivatives (Wilson) Characteristic polynomial Any local composite operator can be specified by a polynomial that details the structure and the number of derivatives acting on the fields. For example k k 0 k where dd u u k The algebra of generators acting on light-ray operators can equivalently be rewritten as algebra of differential operators acting on the space of characteristic polynomials. One finds the following adjoint representation of the generators acting on this space: L0 u u u j u L u u u L u u 2 u 2j u u
12 to summarize: A one-particle local operator (quark or gluon) can be characterized by twist t, conformal spin j, and conformal spin projection j 0 j k Conformal spin j 12 s involves the spin projection on plus direction. This is not helicity! Example: j j The difference k j 0 j 0 is equal to the number of (total) derivatives Exact analogy to the usual spin, but conformal spin is noncompact, corresponds to hyperbolic rotations SL 2 SO 2 1 We are dealing with the infinite-dimensional representation of the collinear conformal group
13 Separation of variables In Quantum Mechanics: O(3) rotational symmetry Angular vs. radial dependence 2 2m V r E r R r Y lm Y lm are eigenfunctions of L 2 Y lm l l 1 Y lm, L 2 0. In Quantum Chromodynamics: SL(2,R) conformal symmetry Longitudinal vs. transverse dependence Migdal 77 Brodsky,Frishman,Lepage,Sachrajda 80 Makeenko 81 Ohrndorf 82
14 Separation of variables continued Momentum fraction distribution of quarks in a pion at small transverse separations: Dependence on transverse coordinates is traded for the scale dependence: 2 d d u dw u w u u 6u 1 u 1 2 C u 1 n n 0 s s 0 n b0 Summation goes over total conformal spin of the qq pair: j j q j q n n 2 are spherical harmonics of the SL 2 R group Gegenbauer Polynomials Cn 3 2 Exact analogy: Partial wave expansion in Quantum Mechanics For Baryons: Summation of three conformal spins N ui J 1 Jj 120u 1u 2u 3 N Y123 Jj u J3 j2 J 3 N N 0 1 total spin of three quarks j 2 n n 0 1 spin of the (12)-quark pair
15 Spin Summation Two-particle: j1 j 2 n 0 j1 j 2 n For two fields living on the light-cone O 1 2 j 1 1 j 2 2 or, equivalently, local composite operators j 0 j j 1 2 j the two-particle SL(2) generators are L a L1 a L 2 a a L 2 a L1 a L 2 a 2 We define a conformal operator L 2 The solution reads j 0 j1 j 2 j L0 j j j 1 j j j0 j L j 0 j j 1 j 2 n and u1 u 2 u1 u 2 n P 2j 1 1 2j 2 1 n u 2 u 1 where P a b n u 1 u 2 x are the Jacobi polynomials Call the corresponding operator j1 j 2 j
16 Spin Summation -continued Three-particle: j1 j 2 j 2 n 0 j1 j 2 j 3 N local composite operators j 1 1 j 2 2 j 3 3 i 0 Impose following conditions: fixed total spin J j 1 j 2 j 3 N annihilated by L fixed spin j j 1 j 2 n in the (12)-channel 12 3 Jj ui 1 u 3 j j1 j2 P J3 1 2j 2j 1 j j3 1 2u 3 P j1 2j 1 2j 2 1 u j1 2 j2 u 1 1 u 3 if a different order of spin summation is chosen 31 2 Jj ui jj j1 j2 j J J 12 3 ui Jj j3 the matrix defines Racah 6j-symbols of the SL 2 group Braun, Derkachov, Korchemsky, Manashov 99
17 Conformal Scalar Product Correlation function of two conformal operators with different spin must vanish: Evaluating this in a free theory: 0 0 T j1 j 2 j x j1 j 2 j 0 0 jj n m 1 du u 1 2j 1 1 u 2 2j 1 2 n u1 u 2 m u1 u 2 mn where du du 1 du 2 u 1 u 2 1 similar for three particles J j J j 1 0 du u 2j u 2j u 3 2j 1 3 Nq u1 u 2 u 3 N q u1 u 2 u 3 JJ jj Complete set of orthogonal polynomials w.r.t. the conformal scalar product
18 Pion Distribution Amplitude Definition: 0 d 0 5u p if p 0 d 0 5 It follows 1 du P 1 1 n 0 Since P 1 1 n i 1 D n u 0 p if p n 1 1 2u 1 u 1 1 n n 0 du e iu p u 0 du 2u 1 n u 0 p if p n 1 x Cn 3 2 x form a complete set on the interval 1 x 1 u 6u 1 u ERBL n 0 n 2 2n 3 3 n 1 n 2 n Cn 3 2 2u n 1 1 n n s n 0 s 0 0 n 0
19 Higher Twists Conformal symmetry is respected by the QCD equations of motion Example: Pion DAs of twist-three 0 d 0 i 5u p R du e iu p p u R f m 2 0 m u m d 0 d 0 5u 1 p ir 1 p du e iu p u d 2 5gG 3 u 1 p 2ip 2 du i e ip 1 u 1 2 u ui u Conformal expansion: 3 u i 360u1 u 2 u R p u R C u u 1 u 2 8u 3 8u R u 6u 1 u R C Braun, Filyanov 90 3u1 u 2 2u 3 3u C C 3 2 4
20 to summarize: Conformal symmetry offers a classification of different components in hadron wave functions The contributions with different conformal spin cannot mix under renormalization to one-loop accuracy Whether this is enough to achieve multiplicative renormalization depends on the problem QCD equations of motion are satisfied Allows for model building: LO, NLO in conformal spin The validity of the conformal expansion is not spolied by quark masses Convergence of the conformal expansion is not addressed Close analogy: Partial wave expansion in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics

27 Hamiltonian Approach continued Hilbert space? Polynomials in interquark separation related by a duality transformation BDKM 99 Polynomials in covariant derivatives (local operators) E.g. going over to local operators, in helicity basis (BFKL 85 ) obtain a HERMITIAN Hamiltonian w.r.t. the conformal scalar product dx i x i 1 x 1 2j 1 1 x 2 2j 1 2 x 3 2j xi 2 xi that is, conformal symmetry allows for the transformation of the mixing matrix: forward non-hermitian N 1 non-forward hermitian N N 1 2 hermitian in conformal basis N 1
28 Hamiltonian Approach continued (2) Premium? Eigenvalues (anomalous dimensions) are real numbers Conservation of probability possibility of meaningful approximations to exact evolution E.g. 1N c expansion N n NcE N n N 1 c E N n N n 0 N n N 2 c N n with the usual quantum-mechanical expressions etc. E N n 0 N n 2 0 N n N n 1 0
29 Complete Integrability L 2 L 0 0 Conformal symmetry implies existence of two conserved quantities: For qqq and GGG states with maximum helicity and for qgq states at N c an additional conserved charge there exists qqq GGG max Q L12 2 L 2 23 Q 0 qgq Q LqG 2 LGq 2 c 1 L 2 qg c 2 L 2 Gq N c Q 0 BDM 98 Anomalous dimensions can be classified by values of the charge Q: Q q q A new quantum number Lipatov 94 95, Faddeev, Korchemsky 95 Braun, Derkachov, Manashov 98

32 Breakdown of integrability: Mass gap and bound states Simplest case: Difference between 3 2 and N 1 2 Flow of energy levels (anomalous dimensions): L 2 12 L Scalar diquark BDKM 98

36 Spectrum of Anomalous Dimensions E N,α qgq levels: crosses Interacting open and closed spin chains N GGG levels: open circles The highest qgq level is separated from the rest by a finite gap and is almost degenerate with the lowest GGG state The lowest qgq level is known exactly in the large N c limit Ali, Braun, Hiller 91 Braun, Korchemsky, Manashov 01

39 to summarize: It is possible to write evolution equations in the SL(2) covariant form obtain quantum mechanics with hermitian Hamiltonian uncover hidden symmetry (integrability) powerful tool in applications to many-parton systems Similar technique is used for studies of the interactions between reggeized gluons Interesting connections to N 4 SUSY and AdS/CFT correspondence

42 Conformal Anomaly continued Hope is to find a representation, for a generic quantity con g g where power series in s Main result (D.Müller): possible in a special renormalization scheme
43 Conformal Ward Identities The Ward identities follow from the invariance of the functional integral under the change of variables x x x x Let N 0 T x 1 x N 0 1 x1 x N e is then 0 0 T x 1 x N 0 0 T x 1 x N 0 0 Ti S x 1 x N 0 Dilatation N i 1 can x i i 0 T x 1 x N 0 i Special conformal transformation N i 1 where 2x i can x i i 2 x i x 2 i i N i g D x 2g Ga G a x EOM d 4 x 0 T D x x 1 x N 0 d 4 x 2x 0 T D x x 1 x N 0
