Non-Lorentzian Supergravity from Matrix Theory
Dawid Maskalaniec, Ziqi Yan, Utku Zorba
It was recently shown that the decoupling limits leading to matrix (gauge) theories on D-branes give rise to non-Lorentzian target space geometries. Perturbatively, matrix theory d…
Axions, Three-Forms, and M-Theory
Florian Niedermann, Ziqi Yan
Scalar fields with masses protected by global shift symmetries, commonly referred to as axions, are abundantly used in effective field theories in cosmology and particle physics. H…
Dual Non-Lorentzian Backgrounds for Matrix Theories
Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Niels A. Obers +1
We study properties of non-Lorentzian geometries arising from BPS decoupling limits of string theory that are central to matrix theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We focus on d…
Conformal Mapping of Non-Lorentzian Geometries in SU(1,2) Conformal Field Theory
Stefano Baiguera, Troels Harmark, Yang Lei +1
We realize an explicit conformal mapping between the state and operator pictures in a class of (2+1)-dimensional non-Lorentzian field theories with SU(1,2)U(1) conformal sy…
