Conformal invariance from nonconformal gravity
We discuss the conditions under which classically conformally invariant models in four dimensions can arise out of nonconformal (Einstein) gravity. As an ``existence proof'' that this is indeed possible we show how to derive $N=4$ super Yang-Mills theory with any compact gauge group $G$ from nonconformal gauged $N=4$ supergravity as …
