Resumen de Semi-Riemannian structures for symmetric Galilean spacetimes

Daniel de la Fuente Benito , José A. S. Pelegrín, Rafael María Rubio Ruiz

• We introduce semi-Riemannian structures well-adapted to certain fields of observers in a Galilean spacetime. The Levi-Civita connection of such a semi-Riemannian metric will allow us to obtain variational characterizations of the Galilean geodesics as well as global results on the topological and differentiable structure of the spacetime. Moreover, these new semiRiemannian metrics provide a new way to compare the studied Newton–Cartan models with their relativistic counterparts.
