We study the space-time invariances of the relativistic particle action for both the massive and massless cases. While the massive action has only the invariances associated to the Poincare algebra, we find that the invariances of the…

We show how to take the first step in the conformal program for constructing general matter couplings to Aristotelian gravity with arbitrary $p$-brane foliation. For this purpose we extend the $p$-brane Aristotelian algebra to the direct…

Here, we present an algebraic and kinematical analysis of non-commutative $\kappa$-Minkowski spaces within Galilean (non-relativistic) and Carrollian (ultra-relativistic) regimes. Utilizing the theory of Wigner-In\"{o}nu contractions, we…

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 $D+1$ space-time dimensions. $k$ has to do with the number of space-time…

We study higher form Proca equations on Einstein manifolds with boundary data along conformal infinity. We solve these Laplace-type boundary problems formally, and to all orders, by constructing an operator which projects arbitrary forms to…

We study the Lie bialgebra structures that can be built on the one-dimensional central extension of the Poincar\'e and (A)dS algebras in (1+1) dimensions. These central extensions admit more than one interpretation, but the simplest one is…

This paper studies absolute retracts in congruence modular varieties of universal algebras. It is shown that every absolute retract with finite dimensional congruence lattice is a product of subdirectly irreducible algebras. Further, every…

We discuss three different (conformally) Carrollian geometries and their relation to null infinity from the unifying perspective of Cartan geometry. Null infinity \emph{per se} comes with numerous redundancies in its intrinsic geometry and…

We construct free Lie algebras which, together with the algebra of spatial rotations, form infinite-dimensional extensions of finite-dimensional Galilei Maxwell algebras appearing as global spacetime symmetries of extended non-relativistic…

We investigate a systematic approach to include curvature corrections to the isometry algebra of flat space-time order-by-order in the curvature scale. The Poincar\'e algebra is extended to a free Lie algebra, with generalised boosts and…

We generalize to arbitrary dimension the construction of a covariant and supersymmetric constraint for the massless superPoincare algebra, which was given for the eleven-dimensional case in a previous work. We also contrast it with a…

Stabilization, by deformation, of the Poincar\'{e}-Heisenberg algebra requires both the introduction of a fundamental lentgh and the noncommutativity of translations which is associated to the gravitational field. The noncommutative…

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…

Using recent results on string on $AdS_{3}\times N^d$, where N is a d-dimensional compact manifold, we re-examine the derivation of the non trivial extension of the (1+2) dimensional-Poincar\'e algebra obtained by Rausch de Traubenberg and…

Contrary to the expected behavior, we show the existence of non-invertible deformations of Lie algebras which can generate invariants for the coadjoint representation, as well as delete cohomology with values in the trivial or adjoint…
