The Schrödinger-Virasoro Algebra

Abstract

Recall the following facts from Chaps. 1 and 2: The Schrödinger algebra \(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{c}\mathfrak{h}\) is defined as the algebra of projective Lie symmetries of the free Schrödinger equation in (1 + 1)-dimensions, \((-2\mathrm{i}\mathcal{M}{\partial }_{t} - {\partial }_{r}^{2})\psi = 0\).

Notes

  1. 1.

    This apparently abstract extension becomes important for the explicit calculation of the two-time correlation function in phase-ordering kinetics [59].

  2. 2.

    For example, \(\mathrm{ad}N({Y }_{\frac{1} {2} }) = [N,{Y }_{\frac{1} {2} }] = -{Y }_{\frac{1} {2} }\) or \(\mathrm{ad}N({Y }_{-\frac{1} {2} }) = [N,{Y }_{-\frac{1} {2} }] = 0\).

  3. 3.

    This fixing of the scaling function through the additional N-covariance prompted us to consider \(\widetilde{\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{v}}\)-primary fields instead of \(\mathfrak{s}\mathfrak{v}\)-primary fields in our vertex construction (see Sect. 6.1).

  4. 4.

    The Schrödinger-invariance of a free non-relativistic particle of spin S is proven in [49].

  5. 5.

    In non-commutative space-time, extended supersymmetries still persist, but scale- and Galilei-invariance are broken [93].

  6. 6.

    An isomorphic Lie superalgebra was first constructed by Gauntlett et al. [37].
