Abstract

In this work a systematic study of finite-dimensional nonrelativistic conformal groups is carried out under two complementary points of view. First, the conformal Killing equation is solved to obtain a whole family of finite-dimensional conformal algebras corresponding to each of the Galilei and Newton–Hooke kinematical groups. Some of their algebraic and geometrical properties are studied in a second step. Among the groups included in these families one can identify, for example, the contraction of the Minkowski conformal group, the analog for a nonrelativistic de Sitter space, or the nonextended Schrödinger group.
