摘要：
Scale invariant but non-conformal field theories are forbidden in (1 + 1) dimension, and so should be the corresponding holographic dual gravity theories. We conjecture that such scale invariant but non-conformal field configurations do not exist in the string/M-theory. We provide a proof of this conjecture in the classical supergravity limit when the space-time is trivially fibered over the compact space. Our proof does also apply in higher dimensional scale invariant but non-conformal field configurations, which suggests that scale invariant but non-conformal field theories may be forbidden in higher dimensions as well.
