Description
We describe the role of SO(2, 1) conformal symmetry in non-relativistic Chern-Simons theory and in effective field theories for the eikonal regime: how the symmetry acts, how it controls the nature of solutions, how it expands to an infinite group on the manifold of static solutions thereby rendering the static problem completely integrable.
