Abstract

Arguments are given to show that a strictly conformal invariant skeleton theory is compatible with the observed scaling only if it possesses an infinite number of local tensors of spin n = 2, 4, ... and scale dimension ln = 2+n, which are all conserved. The conclusion suggests that conformal invariance is spontaneously broken.
