The fate of conformal symmetry in the non-linear Schr\"odinger theory

Abstract

The free Schroedinger theory in d space dimensions is a non-relativistic conformal field theory. The interacting non-linear theory preserves this symmetry in specific numbers of dimensions at the classical (tree) level. This holds in particular for the Phi4-theory in d = 2. We compute the full quantum corrections to the 4-point function to show that the symmetry is broken by an anomalous contribution proportional to the exact beta-function
