Galilean quantum gravity in 2+1 dimensions

In this thesis, we study the Galilean limit of gravity in 2+1 dimensions and give the necessary ingredients for its quantisation. We study two groups that play fundamental role in this thesis, the two-fold central extension of the Galilei and Newton-Hooke groups in 2+1 dimensions and their correspon...
