13. The idea that Lorentz invariance might be an emergent symmetry has a long history, going back at least to the pioneering paper.
14. In differential geometry, a codimension-q foliation F on a d-dimensional manifold M is defined as M equipped with an atlas of coordinate systems (ya,xi) a=1,...q, i=1,...d-q, such that the transition functions take the restricted form (y a,x i)=(y a(yb),x i(yb,xj)). The general theory of foliations is reviewed e.g. in.

27. In contrast, for some theories with detailed balance, Ψ0∼exp{-W/2} does represent a physical normalizable ground-state wave function. Examples include the Lifshitz scalar theory (as discussed, for example, in), and the quantum critical Yang-Mills with z=2 in 4+1 dimensions.

32. The main difference between 58 and topologically massive gravity stems from the fact that here we are only interested in the Euclidean-signature version of 58, with the real action W. In topologically massive gravity, the Euclidean action W is interpreted as the Wick rotation of the real action from the physical signature 2+1, leading to a slightly different reality condition on W, with w2 purely imaginary. There has been a recent resurgence of interest in topological massive gravity, initiated by; see also.
