Conformal invariance from nonconformal gravity

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 …
