Abstract
We compute the leading part of the trace anomaly for a free non-relativistic scalar in 2 + 1 dimensions coupled to a background Newton-Cartan metric. The anomaly is proportional to 1/m, where m is the mass of the scalar. We comment on the implications of a conjectured a-theorem for non-relativistic theories with boost invariance.
