Using the heat kernel method, we compute nonrelativistic trace anomalies for Schr\"odinger theories in flat spacetime, with a generic background gauge field for the particle number symmetry, both for a free scalar and a free fermion. The result is genuinely nonrelativistic, and it has no counterpart in the relativistic case. Contrary to the naive expectations, the anomaly is not gauge-invariant; this is similar to the non-gauge covariance of the non-abelian relativistic anomaly. We also show that, in the same background, the gravitational anomaly for a nonrelativistic scalar vanishes.

  1. Conformal Mapping of Non-Lorentzian Geometries in SU(1,2) Conformal Field Theory

    An explicit conformal mapping is derived between null-reduced R times S^3 and Omega-deformed Minkowski TNC geometries, giving the state-operator generator map H0 = (R^2 H + C/R^2 - J - N)/2 in SU(1,2) non-Lorentzian CFTs.
