Abstract

摘要

Warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are a novel class of non-relativistic theories in two dimensions, which are interesting in both holography and QFT.In this talk I will show how to derive general properties of the spectrum and modular properties of partition functions of WCFTs. A simple, yet non-trivial,example of such theory is a massive Weyl fermion in (1+1)-dimensions, which we will use as a guideline to illustrate the charm behind WCFTs.
