Abstract
We present the quantum field description of Galilean electrodynamics minimally coupled to massless Galilean fermion in (3 + 1)-dimensions. At classical level, the Lagrangian is obtained as a null reduction of a relativistic theory in one higher dimension. We use functional techniques to develop the quantum field description of the theory. Quantum corrections to the propagators and vertex are obtained upto first order and the theory is found to be renormalizable to this order. The beta function of the theory is found to grow linearly; the theory is not asymptotically free.
