abstract

We reformulate the Palatini action for general relativity (GR) in terms of moving frames that exhibit local Galilean covariance in a large speed of light expansion. For this, we express the action in terms of variables that are adapted to a Galilean subgroup of the $GL(n,\mathbb{R})$ structure group of a general frame bundle. This leads to a novel Palatini-type formulation of GR that provides a natural starting point for a first-order non-relativistic expansion. In doing so, we show how a comparison of Lorentzian and Newton-Cartan metric-compatibility explains the appearance of torsion in the non-relativistic expansion.

  1. Non-Lorentzian Supergravity and Kinematical Superalgebras

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Supersymmetric extensions of extended kinematical algebras are classified via semigroup expansion, and non-degenerate Chern-Simons supergravity actions are constructed in three dimensions.

  2. Notes on su$(1,2)\oplus$u$(1)$ Chern-Simons theory and Torsional Newton-Cartan gravity

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The su(1,2)⊕u(1) Chern-Simons theory is torsional Newton-Cartan gravity whose 1/c expansion reproduces the extended z=2 Schrödinger gravity and whose asymptotic symmetry is the W_3^(2)⊕u(1) algebra.
