Abstract
We construct two possible candidates for the non-relativistic algebra in 4 space-time dimensions by contracting the original relativistic algebra. The algebra is infinite-dimensional, and it contains the generators of the Poincar\'e algebra, together with the so-called super-translations. Similarly, the proposed algebras can be regarded as two infinite-dimensional extensions of the Bargmann algebra. We also study a canonical realisation of one these algebras in terms of the Fourier modes of a free Schr\"odinger field, mimicking the canonical realisation of the relativistic algebra using a free Klein-Gordon field.
