Conformal Invariance for Non-Relativistic Field Theory
نویسندگان
چکیده
Momentum space Ward identities are derived for the amputated n-point Green’s functions in 3 + 1 dimensional non-relativistic conformal field theory. For n = 4 and 6 the implications for scattering amplitudes (i.e. on-shell amputated Green’s functions) are considered. Any scale invariant 2-to-2 scattering amplitude is also conformally invariant. However, conformal invariance imposes constraints on off-shell Green’s functions and the three particle scattering amplitude which are not automatically satisfied if they are scale invariant. As an explicit example of a conformally invariant theory we consider non-relativistic particles in the infinite scattering length limit.

Gravity Dual for Reggeon Field Theory and Non-linear Quantum Finance
We study scale invariant but not necessarily conformal invariant deformations of non-relativistic conformal field theories from the dual gravity viewpoint. We present the corresponding metric that solves the Einstein equation coupled with a massive vector field. We find that, within the class of metric we study, when we assume the Galilean invariance, the scale invariant deformation always pres...
متن کاملRelativistic viscous hydrodynamics, conformal invariance, and holography
We consider second-order viscous hydrodynamics in conformal field theories at finite temperature. We show that conformal invariance imposes powerful constraints on the form of the second-order corrections. By matching to the AdS/CFT calculations of correlators, and to recent results for Bjorken flow obtained by Heller and Janik, we find three (out of five) second-order transport coefficients in...

We consider holography for Lifshitz spacetimes with dynamical exponent z = 1+ǫ2, where ǫ is small. We show that the holographically dual field theory is a specific deformation of the relativistic CFT, corresponding to the z = 1 theory. Treating ǫ as a small expansion parameter we set up the holographic dictionary for Einstein-Proca models up to order ǫ2 in three and four bulk dimensions. We exp...
متن کاملHolographic stress tensor for non-relativistic theories
We discuss the calculation of the field theory stress tensor from the dual geometry for two recent proposals for gravity duals of non-relativistic conformal field theories. The first of these has a Schrödinger symmetry including Galilean boosts, while the second has just an anisotropic scale invariance (the Lifshitz case). For the Lifshitz case, we construct an appropriate action principle. We ...
متن کاملEstablishing the Uniqueness of the Connection between AdS5 and Conformally Invariant Relativistic Systems: A Group/Field Theoretical Approach
Adopting as working assumption that the conformal group O(4,2) of Minkowski space, being the largest symmetry group which respects its light cone structure, is the appropriate global symmetry underlying the description of relativistic systems, it is shown that AdS5 uniquely emerges as the space on the boundary of which a corresponding relativistic field system should be accommodated. The basic ...
