Description
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss conserved quantities of some non-relativistic systems originating from symmetries of a particular class of pp-waves called exact plane gravitational waves. In particular, I will consider periodic gravitational waves and corresponding non-relativistic systems called ion traps. I will show how the symmetries of the former yield conserved quantities for the latter.
