Anisotropic Scaling Non-Relativistic Holography: A Symmetry Perspective

Abstract

We study the holographic dual of the two-dimensional non-relativistic field theory with anisotropic scaling from a symmetry perspective. We construct a new four-dimensional metric with two-dimensional global anisotropic scaling isometry. The four-dimensional spacetime is homogeneous and is a solution of Einstein gravity with quadratic-curvature extension. We consider this spacetime dual to the vacuum of the boundary field theory. By introducing a proper solution phase space, we find that the asymptotic symmetry of the gravity theory is the two-dimensional local anisotropic conformal symmetry, which recovers precisely the results from the dual non-relativistic field theory side.
