Description

In this talk, I will give a brief introduction to p-brane Aristotelian geometry, the underlying geometry of physical models without boost symmetry, and take the first steps in constructing matter-coupled Aristotelian gravity theories through a conformal approach. I will distinguish between three cases of Aristotelian gravity: electric, magnetic, and electric-magnetic, and then discuss how to couple these backgrounds to matter fields, focusing on quadratic derivative models, such as the coupling to massive Aristotelian electrodynamics, as well as some higher-derivative models related to fracton theories.
