Non-relativistic limits and three-dimensional coadjoint Poincare gravity

We show that a recently proposed action for three-dimensional non-relativistic gravity can be obtained by taking the limit of a relativistic Lagrangian that involves the co-adjoint Poincare algebra. We point out the similarity of our construction with the way that three-dimensional Galilei Gravity and Extended Bargmann Gravity can be obtained by taking the limit of a relativistic Lagrangian that involves the Poincare algebra. We extend our results to the AdS case and we will see that there is a chiral decomposition both at the relativistic and non-relativistic level. We comment on possible further generalizations.
