Gravity dual of Navier-Stokes equation in a rotating frame through parallel transport

The fluid-gravity correspondence documents a precise mathematical map between a class of dynamical spacetime solutions of the Einstein field equations of gravity and the dynamics of its corresponding dual fluid flows governed by the Navier-Stokes (NS) equations of hydrodynamics. This striking connection has been explored in several dynamics-based approaches and has surfaced in various forms over the past four decades. In a recent construction, it has been shown that the manifold properties of geometric duals are in fact intimately connected to the dynamics of incompressible fluids, thus bypassing the conventional on-shell standpoints. Following such a prescription, we construct the geometrical description that effectively captures the dynamics of an incompressible NS fluid with respect to a uniformly rotating frame. We propose the gravitational dual(s) described by bulk metric(s) in $(p+2)$-dimensions such that the equations of parallel transport of an appropriately defined bulk velocity vector field when projected onto an induced timelike hypersurface require that the incompressible NS equation of a fluid relative to a uniformly rotating frame be satisfied at the relevant perturbative order in $(p+1)$-dimensions. We argue that free fluid flows on manifold(s) described by the proposed metric(s) can be effectively considered as an equivalent theory of non-relativistic viscous fluid dynamics with respect to (w.r.t) a uniform rotating frame. We also present suggestive insights as to how space-time rotation parameters encode information pertaining to the inertial effects in the corresponding fluid dual.
