The special Galilean group, usually denoted SGal(3), is a 10-dimensional Lie group whose important subgroups include the special orthogonal group, the special Euclidean group, and the group of extended poses. We briefly describe SGal(3) and…
Classical mechanics unfolds within absolute time and Euclidean space, yet our knowledge of where events occur, when they occur, and how motion evolves is inherently uncertain. The special Galilean group provides a natural setting for…
The Galilean invariance in three dimensional space-time is considered. It appears that the Galilei group in 2+1 dimensions posses a three-parameter family of projective representations. Their physical interpretation is discussed in some…
We present the basic concepts of space and time, the Galilean and pseudo-Euclidean geometry. We use an elementary geometric framework of affine spaces and groups of affine transformations to illustrate the natural relationship between…
Carroll's group is presented as a group of transformations in a 5-dimensional space ($\mathcal{C}$) obtained by embedding the Euclidean space into a (4; 1)-de Sitter space. Three of the five dimensions of $\mathcal{C}$ are related to…
Given any Euclidean ordered field, $Q$, and any 'reasonable' group, $G$, of (1+3)-dimensional spacetime symmetries, we show how to construct a model $M_{G}$ of kinematics for which the set $W$ of worldview transformations between inertial…
A semantic adjustment to what physicists mean by the terms `special relativity' and `general relativity' is suggested, which prompts a conceptual shift to a more unified perspective on physics governed by the Poincar\'e group and physics…
A classification of all possible realizations of the Galilei, Galilei-similitude and Schroedinger Lie algebras in three-dimensional space-time in terms of vector fields under the action of the group of local diffeomorphisms of the space…
In this paper, we classify space-time curves up to Galilean group of transformations with Cartan's method of equivalence. As an aim, we elicit invariats from action of special Galilean group on space-time curves, that are, in fact,…
An algebraic characterization of the contractions of the Poincar\'e group permits a proper construction of a non-relativistic limit of its tachyonic representation. We arrive at a consistent, nonstandard representation of the Galilei group…
We revisit the classifications of classical and quantum galilean particles: that is, we fully classify homogeneous symplectic manifolds and unitary irreducible projective representations of the Galilei group. Equivalently, these are…
Of those gauge theories of gravity known to be equivalent to general relativity, only the biconformal gauging introduces new structures - the quotient of the conformal group of any pseudo-Euclidean space by its Weyl subgroup always has…
We classify simply-connected homogeneous ($D+1$)-dimensional spacetimes for kinematical and aristotelian Lie groups with $D$-dimensional space isotropy for all $D\geq 0$. Besides well-known spacetimes like Minkowski and (anti) de Sitter we…
Galilei-Newton spacetime $\mathbb{G}$ with its Galilei group can be understood as a `degeneration' as $c \rightarrow \infty$ of Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$ with its Poincar\'e group. $\mathbb{G}$ does not have a spacetime metric and…
We use the notion of the principal three-dimensional subgroup of a simple Lie group to identify certain special subspaces of the Lie algebra and address the question of whether these are calibrated for invariant forms on the group.
Consider the example of the relationship of the group O(3) of rotations in 3-space to the special unitary group SU(2). Given other unitary groups, what transformations can we find? In this paper we describe a method of constructing…
The contraction of the Poincare group with respect to the space trans- lations subgroup gives rise to a group that bears a certain duality relation to the Galilei group, that is, the contraction limit of the Poincare group with respect to…
The Galilean group is the group of symmetries of Newtonian mechanics, with Lie a lgebra $\gal(n)$. We find algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of $\gal(n)$ using coadjoint orbits.
In this paper we study the scalar geometries occurring in the dimensional reduction of minimal five-dimensional supergravity to three Euclidean dimensions, and find that these depend on whether one first reduces over space or over time. In…
Special relativity, the symmetry breakdown in the electroweak standard model, and the dichotomy of the spacetime related transformations with the Lorentz group, on the one side, and the chargelike transformations with the hypercharge and…
