Multicritical Symmetry Breaking

IAS4042, 4/F, Lo Ka Chung Building, Lee Shau Kee Campus, HKUST

Abstract:

The speaker reviews the idea of quantum gravity with anisotropic scaling, and its applications to holography for non-relativistic field theories, focusing on the structure of anisotropic Weyl anomalies. He will also present some surprises which occur when the notion of Naturalness meets nonrelativistic physics.
