Anomalies for Galilean fields

Understand

We initiate a systematic study of `t Hooft anomalies in Galilean field theories, focusing on two questions therein.

• In the first, we consider the non-relativistic theories obtained from a discrete light-cone quantization (DLCQ) of a relativistic theory with flavor or gravitational anomalies.
• We find that these anomalies survive the DLCQ, becoming mixed flavor/boost or gravitational/boost anomalies.
• We also classify the pure Weyl anomalies of Schr\"odinger theories, which are Galilean conformal field theories (CFTs) with $z=2$.
