Description
I will discuss the theory of Galilean electrodynamics coupled to a single Schrödinger scalar in 2+1 dimensions. This theory, originally obtained from a null-reduction of relativistic Maxwell's theory coupled to a complex scalar field in 3+1 dimensions, suffers an infinite series of quantum corrections. I will explain how these corrections can be handled systematically using the background field method, leading to a continuous manifold of fixed points where the non-relativistic conformal symmetry is preserved.
