Heat kernel methods for Lifshitz theories

Heat kernel methods for Lifshitz theories

Abstract We study the one-loop covariant effective action of Lifshitz theories using the heat kernel technique. The characteristic feature of Lifshitz theories is an anisotropic scaling between space and time. This is enforced by the existence of a preferred foliation of space-time, which breaks Lor...
