Non-lorentzian spacetimes
José Figueroa-O’Farrill
Abstract
I review some of my recent work on non-lorentzian geometry. I review the classification of kinematical Lie algebras and their associated Klein geometries. I then describe the Cartan geometries modelled on them and their characterisation in terms of their intrinsic torsion.
