Galilean Geometry in Condensed Matter Systems

arXiv:1611.01198

Abstract

We present a systematic means to impose Galilean invariance within field theory. We begin by defining the most general background geometries consistent with Galilean invariance and then turn to applications within effective field theory, fluid dynamics, and the quantum Hall effect.
