| Non-relativistic supergravity |
| Speaker: | Jan Rosseel (Univ. Wien) |
| Abstract: | joint relativity - mathematical physics seminar: Newton-Cartan geometry is a geometric, covariant description of non-relativistic gravity, akin to General Relativity. Recently, it has seen a renewed interest in the
context of condensed matter physics and applications of holography to condensed
matter systems. In this talk, I will briefly describe the motivation for this renewed
interest. I will then outline how Newton-Cartan gravity can be conveniently described
as a gauging of a suitable extension of the Galilei algebra of non-relativistic space-time
symmetries. Finally, I will show how this gauging procedure can be applied to yield
extensions of Newton-Cartan geometry that implement conformal symmetry and
supersymmetry.
