What does Scale Invariance Mean?

Fortin et al. (below) revived my interest in scale invariance. Quantum Field Theory does not require scale free theories. Near phase transitions though, we observe scale invariance, i.e., no scale seems to rule, the fluctuations could be a meter long, or a millimeter long. All the scales are present. They proved that scale invariance implies non-trivial energy dependence.

Cool!
