Asymptotic symmetries of Schrödinger spacetimes

چکیده
We discuss the asymptotic symmetry algebra of the Schrödinger-invariant metrics in d + 3 dimensions and its realization on finite temperature solutions of gravity coupled to matter fields. These solutions have been proposed as gravity backgrounds dual to non-relativistic CFTs with critical exponent z in d space dimensions. It is known that the Schrödinger algebra possesses an infinite-dimensional extension, the Schrödinger-Virasoro algebra. However, we show that the asymptotic symmetry algebra of Schrödinger spacetimes is only isomorphic to the exact symmetry group of the background. It is possible to construct from first principles finite and integrable charges that infinite-dimensionally extend the Schrödinger algebra but these charges are not correctly represented via a Dirac bracket. We briefly comment on the extension of our analysis to spacetimes with Lifshitz symmetry.

Thermodynamics of Asymptotically Locally AdS Spacetimes
We formulate the variational problem for AdS gravity with Dirichlet boundary conditions and demonstrate that the covariant counterterms are necessary to make the variational problem well-posed. The holographic charges associated with asymptotic symmetries are then rederived via Noether’s theorem and ‘covariant phase space’ techniques. This allows us to prove the first law of black hole mechanic...
متن کاملAddendum: Symmetries of the energy-momentum tensor
In recent papers [1-3], we have discussed matter symmetries of non-static spherically symmetric spacetimes, static plane symmetric spacetimes and cylindrically symmetric static spacetimes. These have been classified for both cases when the energy-momentum tensor is non-degenerate and also when it is degenerate. Here we add up some consequences and the missing references about the Ricci tensor. ...
متن کاملAsymptotic Symmetries and Charges in De Sitter Space
The asymptotic symmetry group (ASG) at future null infinity (I+) of four-dimensional de Sitter spacetimes is defined and shown to be given by the group of three-dimensional diffeomorphisms acting on I+. Finite charges are constructed for each choice of ASG generator together with a two-surface on I+. A conservation equation is derived relating the evolution of the charges with the radiation flu...
متن کاملOn the Stress Tensor for Asymptotically Flat Gravity
The recent introduction of a boundary stress tensor for asymptotically flat spacetimes enabled a new construction of energy, momentum, and Lorentz charges. These charges are known to generate the asymptotic symmetries of the theory, but their explicit formulas are not identical to previous constructions in the literature. This paper corrects an earlier comparison with other approaches, includin...
متن کاملTowards Flatspace Holography from Non-Relativistic Symmetries
The asymptotic group of symmetries at null infinity of flat spacetimes in three and four dimensions is the infinite dimensional Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group. This has recently been shown to be isomorphic to non-relativistic conformal algebras in one lower dimension, the Galilean Conformal Algebra (GCA) in 2d and a closely related non-relativistic algebra in 3d [1]. We provide a better unders...
