Revisiting Wilson loops for nonrelativistic backgrounds

High Energy Physics - Theory 2015-12-18 v3

Abstract

We consider several configurations that describe Wilson loops in nonrelativistic field theories, and for some of them we find systems of coupled nonlinear differential equations. Also, we find a nontrivial drag force at zero temperature, which suggests that the parameter controlling the deviation of the nonrelativistic space from the relativistic space is somewhat related to the chemical potential of these systems. Moreover, we reconsider some known configurations in the literature and we perform further analysis.
