Review on non-relativistic gravity

J Hartong, NA Obers, G Oling - Frontiers in Physics, 2023 - frontiersin.org
This study reviews the history of Newton–Cartan (NC) gravity with an emphasis on recent
developments, including the covariant, off-shell large speed of light expansion of general …

Relating non-relativistic string theories

T Harmark, J Hartong, L Menculini, NA Obers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract Non-relativistic string theories promise to provide simpler theories of quantum
gravity as well as tractable limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence. However, several …

Non-relativistic gravity and its coupling to matter

D Hansen, J Hartong, NA Obers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study the non-relativistic expansion of general relativity coupled to matter. This
is done by expanding the metric and matter fields analytically in powers of 1/c 2 where c is …

Action principle for Newtonian gravity

D Hansen, J Hartong, NA Obers - Physical review letters, 2019 - APS
We derive an action whose equations of motion contain the Poisson equation of Newtonian
gravity. The construction requires a new notion of Newton-Cartan geometry based on an …

Embedding Galilean and Carrollian geometries. I. Gravitational waves

K Morand - Journal of Mathematical Physics, 2020 - pubs.aip.org
The aim of this series of papers is to generalize the ambient approach of Duval et al.
regarding the embedding of Galilean and Carrollian geometries inside gravitational waves …

Torsional Newton–Cartan gravity from the large c expansion of general relativity

D Van den Bleeken - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2017 - iopscience.iop.org
We revisit the manifestly covariant large c expansion of general relativity, c being the speed
of light. Assuming the relativistic connection has no pole in $ c^{-2} $, this expansion is …

Nonrelativistic Chern-Simons theories and three-dimensional Hořava-Lifshitz gravity

J Hartong, Y Lei, NA Obers - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
We show that certain three-dimensional Hořava-Lifshitz gravity theories can be written as
Chern-Simons gauge theories on various nonrelativistic algebras. The algebras are specific …

Newton-Cartan gravity and torsion

E Bergshoeff, A Chatzistavrakidis, L Romano… - Journal of High Energy …, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We compare the gauging of the Bargmann algebra, for the case of arbitrary torsion,
with the result that one obtains from a null-reduction of General Relativity. Whereas the two …

Non-relativistic three-dimensional supergravity theories and semigroup expansion method

P Concha, M Ipinza, L Ravera, E Rodríguez - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract In this work we present an alternative method to construct diverse non-relativistic
Chern-Simons supergravity theories in three spacetime dimensions. To this end, we apply …

Oddity in nonrelativistic, strong gravity

M Ergen, E Hamamcı, D Van den Bleeken - The European Physical …, 2020 - Springer
We consider the presence of odd powers of the speed of light c in the covariant
nonrelativistic expansion of General Relativity (GR). The term of order c in the relativistic …
