Abstract
We establish a mathematically rigorous way to construct effective theories resulting from the spontaneous breaking of conformal invariance. We show that the Namby-Goldstone field corresponding to spontaneously broken generators of special conformal transformations is always a nondynamical degree of freedom. We prove that the developed approach and the standard approach including application of the inverse Higgs mechanism are equivalent.
