Abstract

The Schrödinger space‐time plays an important role in the context of non‐relativistic holography. We discuss causal structure properties of the Schrödinger space‐time by probing it with point particles as well as with scalar fields. We show that even though the causal structure seen by point particles is almost pathological (absence of a time function) this is not so for the scalar fields. We highlight Galilean‐like causal structure properties.
