Gravity and the spin-2 planar Schroedinger equation
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Jan Rosseel, Paul K. Townsend
A Schroedinger equation proposed for the GMP gapped spin-2 mode of fractional Quantum Hall states is found from a novel non-relativistic limit, applicable only in 2+1 dimensions, o…
Wrapping rules (in) string theory
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Fabio Riccioni
In this paper we show that the number of all 1/2-BPS branes in string theory compactified on a torus can be derived by universal wrapping rules whose formulation we present. These…
Newton-Cartan Gravity and Torsion
Eric Bergshoeff, Athanasios Chatzistavrakidis, Luca Romano +1
We compare the gauging of the Bargmann algebra, for the case of arbitrary torsion, with the result that one obtains from a null-reduction of General Relativity. Whereas the two pro…
Carroll versus Galilei Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Joaquim Gomis, Blaise Rollier +2
We consider two distinct limits of General Relativity that in contrast to the standard non-relativistic limit can be taken at the level of the Einstein-Hilbert action instead of th…
Three-dimensional Spin-3 Theories Based on General Kinematical Algebras
Eric Bergshoeff, Daniel Grumiller, Stefan Prohazka +1
We initiate the study of non- and ultra-relativistic higher spin theories. For sake of simplicity we focus on the spin-3 case in three dimensions. We classify all kinematical algeb…
