Towards full `Galilei general relativity': Bargmann-Minkowski and Bargmann-Galilei spacetimes
Abstract
Galilei-Newton spacetime with its Galilei group can be understood as a `degeneration' as of Minkowski spacetime with its Poincar\'e group. does not have a spacetime metric and its Galilei symmetry transformations do not include energy; but Bargmann-Galilei spacetime , a 5-dimensional extension that preserves Galilei physics, remedies these infelicities. Here an analogous Bargmann-Minkowski spacetime is described. While not necessary for Poincar\'e physics, it may illuminate a path towards a more extensive `Galilei general relativity' than is presently known, which would be a useful -- and conceptually and mathematically sound -- approximation in astrophysical scenarios such as core-collapse supernovae.
