Description

In non-Lorentzian geometries, it is not always possible to find a connection that has no torsion. The components of torsion that persist under taking the differences of connections are called intrinsic. We will provide a mathematical framework and dictionary to physics of intrinsic torsion. We will also classify all the subrepresentations of intrinsic torsion of both Galilei and Caroll p-brane gravity and tell about their geometric interpretations.
