¡Nos trasladamos! E-Prints cerrará el 7 de junio.

En las próximas semanas vamos a migrar nuestro repositorio a una nueva plataforma con muchas funcionalidades nuevas. En esta migración las fechas clave del proceso son las siguientes:

7 de junio: congelación de E-Prints. A partir de este momento, no se podrá hacer ningún depósito ni cambio, modificación o edición.
12 al 30 de junio: migración de E-Prints a Docta Complutense, comprobación y visto bueno de la migración
3 de julio: entrada en producción de Docta Complutense

Es muy importante que cualquier depósito se realice en E-Prints Complutense antes del 7 de junio. En caso de urgencia para realizar un depósito, se puede comunicar a docta@ucm.es.

Abstract

When quantizing conformal dilaton gravity, there is a conformal anomaly which starts at two-loop order. This anomaly stems from evanescent operators on the divergent parts of the effective action. The general form of the finite counterterm, which is necessary in order to insure cancellation of the Weyl anomaly to every order in perturbation theory, has been determined using only conformal invariance. Those finite counterterms do not have any inverse power of any mass scale in front of them (precisely because of conformal invariance), and then they are not negligible in the low-energy deep infrared limit. The general form of the ensuing modifications to the scalar field equation of motion has been determined, and some physical consequences have been extracted.
