Comments on string theory backgrounds with non-relativistic conformal symmetry

J Maldacena, D Martelli… - Journal of High Energy …, 2008 - iopscience.iop.org
We consider non-relativistic conformal quantum mechanical theories that arise by doing
discrete light cone quantization of field theories. If the field theory has a gravity dual, then the …

Gravitational blocks, spindles and GK geometry

A Boido, JP Gauntlett, D Martelli, J Sparks - … in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
