Conformal Invariance for a Class of Scale Invariant Theories in Four Dimensions
Abstract
For a four dimensional, unitary, diffeomorphism- and scale invariant quantum field theory without higher derivatives and a well defined scale current we argue that scale invariance implies conformal invariance. The proof relies on the Wess-Zumino consistency condition for the Weyl anomaly.
