Contractions of the Maxwell algebra

High Energy Physics - Theory 2019-09-13 v2

Abstract

We construct all the possible non-relativistic, non-trivial, Galilei and Carroll k-contractions also known as k-1 p-brane contractions of the Maxwell algebra in D+1D+1 space-time dimensions. kk has to do with the number of space-time dimensions one is contracting.
