How to realize the Schrödinger symmetry

2 possible ways:

• 1. A subalgebra of a relativistic conformal group

(NOT as IW contraction!)

• 2. A non-relativistic limit of a field theory

DLCQ description A geometric realization (gravity)

[Son, Balasubramanian-McGreevy]

EX 1+2 D relativistic CSM 1+2 D NR CSM NR ABJM (N=6 CSM) gravity dual?

• 4. DLCQ description of

Schrödinger symmetry

22

A Schrödinger algebra in d+1 D is embedded into a ``relativistic’’ conformal algebra in (d+1)+1 D as a subalgebra.

EX. Schrödinger algebra in 2+1 D can be embedded into SO(4,2) in 3+1 D

FACT

A relativistic conformal algebra in (d+1)+1 D

The generators:

• Sch. eq.

Remember the light-cone quantization

24

Application of the embedding to AdS/CFT

The field theory is compactified on the light-like circle:

with -compactification

[Goldberger,Barbon-Fuertes ]

DLCQ description But the problem is not so easy as it looks. What is the dimensionally reduced theory in the DLCQ limit? CFT Gravity

Symmetry is broken from SO(2,d+2) to Sch(d) symmetry

NRCFT = LC Hamiltonian

25

Progress in AdS/NRCFT based on the DLCQ description

• 1. Deformation of the DLCQ AdS background

Unitary Fermions?

• 5. NR limits of Chern-Simons

matter systems

• Another direction to AdS/NRCFT -

29

What is the origin of difficulty? DLCQ interpretation

If we start from the embedding of the Schrödinger group into the relativistic conformal group, then we have to confront a difficulty of DLCQ.

Another approach

• Start from the well known example of NRCFT
• Consider the usual NR limit in the context of AdS/CFT

But there are a few examples of NRCFT: NL Schrödinger, Jackiw-Pi model (NR CSM), SUSY extensions (1+2 D) The JP model is obtained by taking the usual NR limit of a relativistic CSM Jackiw-Pi model: Schrödinger invariant

(NR ABJM) and their cousins (depending on the matter contents) NOTE Interacting SUSY singlet is possible

[Nakayama-Sakaguchi-KY, 0812.1564]

There is no direct analog of the Coleman-Mandula theorem for NR SUSY.

First of all, need more examples.

Super Sch. inv. field theory? Gravity dual? NR SUSY itself is interesting Bose-Fermi mixture (realized by using cold atoms) Another approach to AdS/CMP

Characteristic of N ≥ 3 SUSY

SUSY parameters in SUSY transformation are not separated. SUSY seems to be enhanced in the NR limit Actually, only 1st SUSY survives and 2nd SUSY is broken due to the potential. (SUSY is enhanced in the free theory limit ) Other charcterisitcs:

• # of 1st SUSY ≥ # of 2nd SUSY
• # of 2nd SUSY = 2 ?
• 2 1st SUSY, 2 2nd SUSY, 2 conformal SUSY form a multiplet.

Other NR limits

In the usual NR limit, only the particles are kept and anti-particles are discarded by hand. But there is no reason to exclude anti-particles.

NR limit of ABJM model (N=6 CSM system)

[Nakayama-Sakaguchi-KY] [Lee3]

After taking a mass deformation to the ABJM model, we can take a NR limit 1st SUSY: 10, 2nd SUSY: 2, conformal SUSY: 2 R-symmetry: SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1) The original ABJM: 12 SUSY + 12 conformal SUSY, SO(6) = SU(4) R-symmetry Here we shall discuss the SUSY only. A massive ABJM: 12 SUSY + 0 conformal SUSY, SU(2) x SU(2) x U(1)

(maximal) SUSY of NR ABJM

Gravity dual to NR ABJM ?

How to realize the Schrödinger symmetry in AdS/CFT

44

Difficulties in AdS/NRCFT

• 1. If start from gravity (with the embedding of the Schrödinger into rel. conformal)

Difficulty of DLCQ (including interactions) What is the substance of the theory in DLCQ limit ?

• 2. If start from the well-known NRCFTs (with the conventional NR limit)

What is the gravity solution?

There may be a limit in the gravity side, which corresponds to the NR limit in the CFT side, if AdS/CFT works well even in the NR limit

Discussion

There is no concrete example of AdS/NRCFT where both sides are clearly understood
