abstract

The procedure of null reduction provides a concrete way of constructing field theories with Galilean invariance. We use this to examine Galilean gauge theories, viz. Galilean electrodynamics and Yang-Mills theories in spacetime dimensions 3 and 4. Different non-relativistic conformal symmetries arise in these contexts: Schr{\"o}dinger symmetry in $d=3$ and Galilean conformal symmetry in $d=4$. A canonical analysis further reveals that the symmetries enhance to their infinite dimensional versions in phase space and pick up central extensions. In addition, for the Abelian theory, we discuss non-relativistic electro-magnetic duality in $d=3$ and its difference with the $d=4$ version. We also mention some quantum aspects for both Abelian and non-Abelian theories.

  1. Quantization of Galilean Electrodynamics: a non-trivially trivial theory

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Galilean electrodynamics is fully constrained and has zero local degrees of freedom; the path integral collapses to a single quantum-mechanical zero mode.

  2. Revisiting the Symmetries of Galilean Electrodynamics

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Galilean electrodynamics has infinitely many off-shell symmetries in every dimension, and in 3+1 they form the conformal Milne algebra extended by a spatial dilatation.

  3. Conformal Mapping of Non-Lorentzian Geometries in SU(1,2) Conformal Field Theory

    hep-th 2024-11 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    An explicit conformal mapping is derived between null-reduced R times S^3 and Omega-deformed Minkowski TNC geometries, giving the state-operator generator map H0 = (R^2 H + C/R^2 - J - N)/2 in SU(1,2) non-Lorentzian CFTs.

  4. Non-relativistic Strings: Classical solutions and exactly solvable models

    hep-th 2025-04 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Non-relativistic strings on R x S2 admit spinning and pulsating solutions whose leading and next-to-leading order dynamics are cast as Neumann-Rosochatius-like solvable models with Bohr-Sommerfeld energy spectra.

  5. An Introduction to String Newton-Cartan Holography and Integrability

    hep-th 2026-03 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

    String Newton-Cartan holography, the non-relativistic limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, is organized and reviewed around five consistency conditions, with its classical solutions, spectrum, and integrability structure.
