Gravity duals for non-relativistic CFTs

چکیده
We attempt to generalize the AdS/CFT correspondence to non-relativistic conformal field theories which are invariant under Galilean transformations. Such systems govern ultracold atoms at unitarity, nucleon scattering in some channels, and more generally, a family of universality classes of quantum critical behavior. We construct a family of metrics which realize these symmetries as isometries. They are solutions of gravity with negative cosmological constant coupled to pressureless dust. We discuss realizations of the dust, which include a bulk superconductor. We develop the holographic dictionary and find two-point correlators of the correct form. A strange aspect of the correspondence is that the bulk geometry has two extra noncompact dimensions.

Holographic View of Non - relativistic Physics by Koushik Balasubramanian
Motivated by the AdS/CFT correspondence for relativistic CFTs, it seems natural to generalize it to non-relativistic CFTs. Such a dual description could provide insight into strong coupling phenomena observed in condensed matter systems. Scale invariance can be realized in non-relativistic theories in many ways. One freedom is the relative scale dimension of time and space, called the dynamical...
متن کاملPhase transitions in symmetric orbifold CFTs and universality
Since many thermodynamic properties of black holes are universal, the thermodynamics of their holographic duals should be universal too. We show how this universality is exhibited in the example of symmetric orbifolds of general two dimensional CFTs. We discuss the free energies and phase diagrams of such theories and show that they are indeed universal in the large N limit. We also comment on ...
متن کامل1/N Effects in Non-Relativistic Gauge-Gravity Duality
We argue that higher-curvature terms in the gravitational Lagrangian lead, via non-relativistic gauge-gravity duality, to finite renormalization of the dynamical exponent of the dual conformal field theory. Our argument includes a proof of the non-renormalization of the Schrödinger and Lifshitz metrics beyond rescalings of their parameters, directly generalizing the AdS case. We use this effect...
متن کاملDeformations of Holographic Duals to Non-Relativistic CFTs
We construct the non-relativistic counterparts of some well-known supergravity solutions dual to relevant and marginal deformations of N = 4 super Yang-Mills. The main tool we use is the null Melvin twist and we apply it to the N = 1 and N = 2∗ Pilch-Warner RG flow solutions as well as the Lunin-Maldacena solution dual to β-deformations of N = 4 super Yang-Mills. We also obtain a family of supe...
متن کاملGravity Duals for Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories
Logarithmic conformal field theories with vanishing central charge describe systems with quenched disorder, percolation or dilute self-avoiding polymers. In these theories the energy momentum tensor acquires a logarithmic partner. In this talk we address the construction of possible gravity duals for these logarithmic conformal field theories and present two viable candidates for such duals, na...
