Jelle Hartong (Edinburgh University)
Title: Non-Relativistic Gravity Abstract: I will discuss the 1/c expansion of general relativity where c is the speed of light. At low orders this gives Newton-Cartan gravity and generalisations thereof. At higher orders (and weak fields) this can… Read More

Erica Bertolini (DIAS)
Title: Maxwell Theory of Fractons Abstract: In this talk I will show that the main properties of the fracton quasiparticles can be derived from a generalized covariant Maxwell-like action. Starting from a rank-2 symmetric tensor field, a partially symmetric… Read More
