Super-Galilean conformal algebra in AdS/CFT.

Galilean conformal algebra (GCA) is an Inönü–Wigner (IW) contraction of a conformal algebra, while Newton–Hooke string algebra is an IW contraction of an Anti-de Sitter (AdS) algebra, which is the isometry of an AdS space. It is shown that the GCA is a boundary realization of the Newton–Hooke string algebra in the bulk AdS. The string lies along the direction transverse to the boundary, and the worldsheet is AdS2. The one-dimensional conformal symmetry so(2,1) and rotational symmetry so(d) contained in the GCA are realized as the symmetry on the AdS2 string worldsheet and rotational symmetry in the space transverse to the AdS2 in AdSd+2, respectively. It follows from this correspondence that 32 supersymmetric GCAs can be derived as IW contractions of superconformal algebras, psu(2,2|4), osp(8|4), and osp(8*|4). We also derive less supersymmetric GCAs from su(2,2|2), osp(4|4), osp(2|4), and osp(8*|2). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
