Abstract:
We provide the first example of local quantum energy conditions in quantum field theories that are not Lorentz invariant. We focus on field theories in two dimensions with infinite-dimensional symmetries, like the ones governed by the Bondi-van der Burg-Metzner-Sachs group that appear in the context of flat space holography. Reminiscent of holographic results on the quantum null energy condition, we prove that our new energy conditions saturate for states in the field theory that are dual to vacuum solutions of three-dimensional Einstein gravity with a vanishing cosmological constant.
