Why NR Holography?
2
In nature we know the right description for solids is a relativistic QFT!
L=LQED+LQCD
• study state with finite baryon and lepton number
• analyze low energy fluctuations
Condensed Matter Physics=
Not useful!!

Why NR Holography?

Condensed Matter Physics=
Much better.
Can we find holographic duals that directly describe the non-relativistic low energy theory?

Gauge versus Global
Gauge symmetry:
• not really a symmetry • redundancy of description • all physical observables gauge invariant • Example: Seiberg Duality.

Gauge versus Global
Gauge symmetry: not really symmetry redundancy of description Global symmetry:
• true symmetry of observables • physical quantities furnish representation • implies conservation laws • Example: translations → momentum

Gauge versus Global
Gauge symmetry: not really symmetry redundancy of description
Global symmetry: Conservation laws constrains observables
Spurionic global symmetry: • Lagrangian only invariant if couplings transform • Contains “true” global symmetries as subgroup • Constrains low energy effective action • No new conservation laws

Diffeomorphism in GR
9
GR is built around diffeomorphism invariance
This is a gauge symmetry.
“Quantum Gravity has no local observables.”

Diffeomorphism in GR
10
In GR diffeomorphisms are gauge invariance
Exception: Diffeomorphisms that do not vanish at infinity = global symmetry.
Observables of quantum gravity in:
asymptotically flat space ↔ S-matrix asymptotically hyperbolic space ↔ boundary correlation functions

Diffeomorphism in QFT
11
For relativistic QFTs on curved backgrounds
Is a spurionic global symmetry!
not gauged! Local observables do exist!

Diffeomorphisms as Spurions:
14
Two important applications:
1) Low energy effective action constrained by spurionic symmetry!

Diffeomorphisms as Spurions:
16
Two important applications:
2) For a given set of couplings (e.g for a given background metric) the subset of the diffeomorphisms that leaves these particular couplings invariant corresponds to the true global symmetries (conserved charges)
![Page 17: Diffeomorphism Invariance and Non-relativistic Holography · • Coulomb interactions • Short Range 2-particle interactions (e.g. Quantum Hall Systems or other strongly correlated](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052016/602e6789b3b568204005b3e7/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Example:
17
• Flat space: • Subset of diffs leaving this invariant:
Translations Boosts Rotations
Implies conservation of energy, momentum, …

Recap:
18
In a relativistic QFT diffeomorphisms acting on the background metric are a global symmetry.
Contains “standard” symmetries as special cases (leaving a given metric invariant).
But this is a genuinely more powerful symmetry (constrains Leff)

Many interaction terms compatible with these symmetries can be added. This includes:
• Coulomb interactions
• Short Range 2-particle interactions
(e.g. Quantum Hall Systems or other strongly correlated electrons)
(e.g. “Unitary Fermi Gas” = Fermions with infinite scaterring length)

Relativistic Origin:
23
For free boson we can get symmetries via scaling limit from free relativistic field:
free NR field theory
and take the c to infinity limit!
Set chemical potential equal to rest mass:
Particles have zero free energy. Anti-particles have free energy 2 mc2 and decouple.
Diffs and Gauge Symmetry descend.

32

Additional Symmetries of NR QFT
33
One additional symmetry these NR QFTs all share is time translations.
Unlike in the relativistic case, this is not automatically included in diffeomorphisms.
![Page 34: Diffeomorphism Invariance and Non-relativistic Holography · • Coulomb interactions • Short Range 2-particle interactions (e.g. Quantum Hall Systems or other strongly correlated](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052016/602e6789b3b568204005b3e7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Additional Symmetries of NR QFT
34
Free NR QFTs actually have a larger symmetry: time reparametrizations.
(Clearly contains time translations as special case.)
This is also a global, spurionic symmetry:
![Page 35: Diffeomorphism Invariance and Non-relativistic Holography · • Coulomb interactions • Short Range 2-particle interactions (e.g. Quantum Hall Systems or other strongly correlated](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022052016/602e6789b3b568204005b3e7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Why is this called “conformal”?
35
Ask again: What subgroup leaves “trivial” background invariant?
Scale Transformation. z=2: dynamical critical exponent.

Interacting NR CFTs

Unlike for the case of NR diffs it is much harder to construct interactions that preserve the full NR conformal invariance, but there are known examples:

Relativistic Diffs in holography
44
Holography: Gravity in asymptotically AdS space has dual description in terms of boundary field theory.
Evidence: Symmetries match! Global Symmetry: e.g.
For all symmetries to match the bulk has to respect the full global (spurionic) diffeomorphism invariance of the QFT.

Global diffeomorphism
46
This fixes the diffeomorphisms that vanish at the (r →0) boundary.
Diffeomorphisms that do not vanish at r=0 are not part of the gauge group but a global symmetry
These manifestly act on the boundary metric in agreement with the field theory.

Horava Gravity
50
“One less gauge symmetry = one more D.O.F.” (FDiffs do not include temporal diff.)
One way of writing Horava gravity:
GR + a scalar field Φ. unitary gauge: <Φ> = c2 t
fixes temporal diffs.
khronon field. background for Φ picks preferred time direction.

The khronon and string theory
58
In khronon formalism Horava gravity = Einstein gravity + scalar field.
Can we use this to embed NR CFTs and their Horava duals into known AdS/CFT dual pairs?

But due to non-linear dispersion the short-wavelength modes of scalar graviton can move at arbitrarily high speed and can penetrate beyond either horizon

Recap:
83
• Symmetries suggest that generic NR CFT is dual to Horava Gravity. • Horava Gravity is believed to be consistent quantum theory with UV fixed point. Duality in principle holds for any N • For large N we can check that our proposal (equating a large N NR CFT to classical Horava Gravity) gives the correct form of NR CFT 2-pt functions.
