Galilean Covariance and the Gravitational Field
arXiv:0902.2023 · doi:10.1142/S0217751X09046333
Abstract
The paper is concerned with the development of a gravitational field theory having locally a covariant version of the Galilei group. We show that this Galilean gravity can be used to study the advance of perihelion of a planet, following in parallel with the result of the (relativistic) theory of general relativity in the post-Newtonian approximation.
