In this review article, we discuss the distinction and possible equivalence between scale
invariance and conformal invariance in relativistic quantum field theories. Under some technical …

We review recent developments (up to January 2004) of the Liouville field theory and its
matrix model dual. This review consists of two parts. In part I, we review the bosonic Liouville …

Mild self-etch adhesives demineralize dentin only partially, leaving hydroxyapatite around
collagen within a submicron hybrid layer. We hypothesized that this residual hydroxyapatite …
