Galilean Isometries

Abstract

We introduce three nested Lie algebras of infinitesimal `isometries' of a Galilei space-time structure which play the r\ole of the algebra of Killing vector fields of a relativistic Lorentz space-time. Non trivial extensions of these Lie algebras arise naturally from the consideration of Newton-Cartan-Bargmann automorphisms.
