Heating up Galilean Holography

Simon Ross

Durham University

I will describe the recent proposal of a gravitational dual for non-relativistic conformal field theories. I will show how this proposal can be embedded in string theory, and construct a dual black hole geometry for the field theory at finite temperature. I will discuss the thermodynamics obtained from this black hole.
