Nonrelativistic Conformal Field Theories in the Large Charge Sector

We study Schr\"odinger invariant field theories (nonrelativistic conformal field theories) in the large charge (particle number) sector. We do so by constructing the effective field theory (EFT) for a Goldstone boson of the associated $U(1)$ symmetry in a harmonic potential. This EFT can be studied semi-classically in a large charge expansion. We calculate the dimensions of the lowest lying operators, as well as correlation functions of charged operators. We find universal behavior of three point function in large charge sector. We comment on potential applications to fermions at unitarity and critical anyon systems.Comment: 24 page

The Brauer-Manin obstruction to the local-global principle for the embedding problem

We study an analogue of the Brauer-Manin obstruction to the local-global principle for embedding problems over global fields. We will prove the analogues of several fundamental structural results. In particular we show that the (algebraic) Brauer-Manin obstruction is the only one to weak approximation when the embedding problem has abelian kernel. As a part of our investigations we also give a new, elegant description of the Tate duality pairing and prove a new theorem on the cup product.Comment: Referenced upgraded. 37 page
