Correlation functions on conical defects
We explore the new technique developed recently in \cite{Rosenhaus:2014woa} and suggest a correspondence between the $N$-point correlation functions on spacetime with conical defects and the $(N+1)$-point correlation functions in regular Minkowski spacetime. This correspondence suggests a new system...

description | We explore the new technique developed recently in \cite{Rosenhaus:2014woa} and suggest a correspondence between the $N$-point correlation functions on spacetime with conical defects and the $(N+1)$-point correlation functions in regular Minkowski spacetime. This correspondence suggests a new systematic way to evaluate the correlation functions on spacetimes with conical defects. We check the correspondence for the expectation value of a scalar operator and of the energy momentum tensor in a conformal field theory and obtain the exact agreement with the earlier derivations for cosmic string spacetime. We then use this correspondence and do the computations for a generic scalar operator and a conserved vector current. For generic unitary field theory we compute the expectation value of the energy momentum tensor using the known spectral representation of the $2$-point correlators of stress-energy tensor in Minkowski spacetime. |

This correspondence suggests a new systematic way to evaluate the correlation functions on a manifold with conical defect. We apply the correspondence to study the vacuum expectation value of a scalar operator and of the energy-momentum tensor in a conformal field theory living on a spacetime with conical singularity. Our findings agree with the existing calculations for a cosmic string spacetime. We use the correspondence to carry out calculations for the generic scalar operator and conserved vector current. For a unitary field theory we also compute the expectation value of the energy-momentum tensor using the spectral representation of a two-point function of the energy-momentum tensor in Minkowski spacetime.</p>We explore the new technique developed recently in \cite{Rosenhaus:2014woa} and suggest a correspondence between the $N$-point correlation functions on spacetime with conical defects and the $(N+1)$-point correlation functions in regular Minkowski spacetime.
