Abstract
A Galilean contraction is a way to construct Galilean conformal algebras from a pair of infinite-dimensional conformal algebras, or equivalently, a method for contracting tensor products of vertex algebras. Here, we present a generalisation of the Galilean contraction prescription to allow for inputs of any finite number of conformal algebras, resulting in new classes of higher-order Galilean conformal algebras. We provide several detailed examples, including infinite hierarchies of higher-order Galilean Virasoro algebras, affine Kac-Moody algebras and the associated Sugawara constructions, and algebras.
