Correlation functions for Schr\"odinger backgrounds
Abstract
We work out the holographic dictionary for the three-dimensional Schr\"odinger spacetimes. The first step in our analysis involves the correct identification of the dual sources from the radial expansion of the bulk fields, which turns out to be surprisingly subtle. We discuss in detail the holographic renormalization procedure at the linearized level and holographically compute the two-point functions of the energy-momentum tensor and an irrelevant vector operator. We discuss the appearance of multi-trace counterterms, parametrize the scheme dependence in our results, identify the non-relativistic Ward identities and compare them with expectations in the literature. Our results lead to valuable general insights regarding holography for spacetimes that are not of an asymptotically AdS form.
