Galilean Covariance and the Gravitational Field

Abstract

The paper is concerned with the development of a gravitational field theory having locally a covariant version of the Galilei group. We show that this Galilean gravity can be used to study the advance of perihelion of a planet, following in parallel with the result of the (relativistic) theory of general relativity in the post-Newtonian approximation.
