String theory embeddings of non-relativistic field theories and their holographic Horava gravity duals

TL;DR

It is argued that generic nonrelativistic quantum field theories with a holographic description are dual to Hořava gravity and constructed explicit examples of this duality embedded in string theory by starting with relativistic dual pairs and taking a nonrel ativistic scaling limit.

Abstract

We argue that generic non-relativistic quantum field theories have a holographic description in terms of Horava gravity. We construct explicit examples of this duality embedded in string theory by starting with relativistic dual pairs and taking a non-relativistic scaling limit.
