Galilean conformal electrodynamics

TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the equations of motion in both these limits are invariant under the Galilean Conformal Algebra in D = 4, thereby exhibiting non-relativistic conformal symmetries.
Abstract
Maxwell’s Electrodynamics admits two distinct Galilean limits called the Electric and Magnetic limits. We show that the equations of motion in both these limits are invariant under the Galilean Conformal Algebra in D = 4, thereby exhibiting non-relativistic conformal symmetries. Remarkably, the symmetries are infinite dimensional and thus Galilean Electrodynamics give us the first example of an infinitely extended Galilean Conformal Field Theory in D > 2. We examine details of the theory by looking at purely non-relativistic conformal methods and also use input from the limit of the relativistic theory.

Tensionless strings from worldsheet symmetries

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the tensionless limit of closed bosonic string theory in the covariant formulation in the light of Galilean conformal symmetry that rises as the residual gauge symmetry on a tensionless worldsheet.

Field Theories with Conformal Carrollian Symmetry

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors construct explicit examples of conformal Carrollian field theories as limits of relativistic conformal theories, which include Carrollian versions of scalars, fermions, electromagnetism, Yang-Mills theory and general gauge theories coupled to matter fields.

Carroll versus Galilei gravity

TL;DR: In this paper, two distinct limits of General Relativity that in contrast to the standard non-relativistic limit can be taken at the level of the Einstein-Hilbert action instead of the equations of motion are considered.

The world as a hologram

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of particle growth with momentum on information spreading near black hole horizons were investigated. But the authors only considered the earliest times of the propagation of information near the horizon.

Gravitational Waves in General Relativity. VII. Waves from Axi-Symmetric Isolated Systems

TL;DR: In this paper, it is shown that the flow of information to infinity is controlled by a single function of two variables called the news function, together with initial conditions specified on a light cone, which fully defines the behaviour of the system.
