Jelle Hartong: Lifshitz Space-Times for Schroedinger Holography

Description

I will define for a broad class of models the sources and vevs for asymptotically Lifshitz space-times with critical exponent z in the range (1,2]. It turns out that the sources and vevs transform in representations of the Schroedinger group, with the same critical exponent z, that acts locally on the sources and vevs. The boundary geometry in all cases is described by torsional Newton-Cartan geometry. We use these insights to set up a fluid/gravity correspondence that allows us to study Lifshitz hydrodynamics of the boundary field theory.
