We have mooted a new charged scalar field theory using a doublet of the Galileon scalar field instead of the usual Klein Gordon real scalar fields. Our model for the charged scalar field have a few remarkable properties like Poincare invariance , Abe
lian gauge symmetry and shift symmetries. The existence of two independent gauge symmetries is a welcome news for fracton physics.Whereas phase rotation in $phi$ space leads to the conservation of electric charge , the additional symmetries correspond to the conservation of a scalar charge and a vector charge. The system is shown to resemble matter in the fracton phase. Consequently, the results in this letter have immense possibilities in fracton physics.
We formulate non-relativistic string theory on the Newton-Cartan space time using the vielbein approach mooted in the Galilean gauge theory. Geometric implication has been discussed at length. The outcome is the establishment of some points of non-re
lativistic diffeomorphism which has to some extent mystified in the literature.
A new approach to the study of nonrelativistic bosonic string in flat space time is introduced, basing on a holistic hamiltonian analysis of the minimal action for the string. This leads to a structurally new form of the action which is, however, equ
ivalent to the known results since, under appropriate limits, it interpolates between the minimal action (Nambu Goto type) where the string metric is taken to be that induced by the embedding and the Polyakov type of action where the world sheet metric components are independent fields. The equivalence among different actions is established by a detailed study of symmetries using constraint analysis. Various vexing issues in the existing literature are clarified. The interpolating action mooted here is shown to reveal the geometry of the string and may be useful in analyzing nonrelativistic string coupled with curved background.
