Abstract
In this work, we investigate the theory of linear isotropic incompressible elasticity as a conformal field theory. We calculate the conformal currents, the conservation laws and the balance laws of incompressible elasticity. We investigate the Euler–Lagrange symmetries, variational and divergence symmetries. If the pressure p = 0 , the conformal group is the symmetry group for homogeneous isotropic linear incompressible elasticity without external forces. The additional symmetry is the special conformal transformation. We also discuss the symmetry breaking terms of special conformal transformations in elasticity. To cite this article: M. Lazar, C.
