| New developments in Non-Relativistic Gravity |
| Speaker: | Blaise Rollier (Groningen) |
| Abstract: | Recently, gravitational theories with non-relativistic symmetries
have attracted renewed attention. One reason for this is their appearance as gravitational bulk theories in the context of non-AdS holography. In this talk, I will define a 'non-relativistic conformal method? as the non-relativistic version of the relativistic conformal method and show how it can be used to produce Galilean invariant theories of gravity. After introducing Newton-Cartan geometry and gravity, I will show how the non-relativistic conformal method can be used to derive Horava-Lifshitz gravity and Torsional Newton-Cartan gravity. |
