Abstract

We discuss a new formalism for constructing a nonrelativistic (NR) theory in curved background. Named as galilean gauge theory, it is based on gauging the global galilean symmetry. It provides a systematic algorithm for obtaining the covariant curved spacetime generalisation of any NR theory defined in flat spacetime. The resulting background is just the Newton–Cartan manifold. The example of NR free particle is explicitly demonstrated.
