| Title: |
An Index for Non-relativistic Superconformal Field Theories
|
| Abstract: |
We study the highest-weight representation of N=2 supersymmetric
Schrodinger algebra which appears in non-relativistic superconformal
field theories in (1+2) dimension. We define the index for the
non-relativistic superconformal field theories and study its properties.
As a concrete example, we compute the index for the non-relativistic
limit of N=6 superconformal Chern-Simons-matter theory recently proposed
by Aharony et al. This index may give a new mathematical invariant for
Calabi-Yau manifold probed by M2-branes.
