Galilean Isometries
Abstract
Description
We introduce three nested Lie algebras of infinitesimal `isometries' of a Galilei space-time structure which play the rôle of the algebra of Killing vector fields of a relativistic Lorentz space-time. Non trivial extensions of these Lie algebras arise naturally from the consideration of Newton-Cartan-Bargmann automorphisms.
