Titre |
Non-Lorentzian geometry in gravity and string theory |
|
Résumé |
I will present a brief introduction to non-Lorentzian geometries. Subsequently I will present a number of
Chern-Simons theories that describe novel non-relativistic theories of gravity in three dimensions along with
indications of new types of asymptotic symmetry groups. Finally, I will discuss how non-relativistic geometry
plays a role in non-relativistic string theory, including its appearance in tractable limits of the AdS/CFT
correspondence. |
