A Non-Relativistic Weyl Anomaly

High Energy Physics - Theory 2009-12-04 v2

Abstract

We examine the Weyl anomaly for a four-dimensional z=3 Lifshitz scalar coupled to Horava's theory of anisotropic gravity. We find a one-loop break-down of scale-invariance at second order in the gravitational background.
