Review text

A quantum test particle in the background of a Newtonian gravitational field in the framework of Cartan's formulation of non-relativistic spacetime is considered. A novel quantization of a point particle which amounts to introducing its position operators as a multiplication with some Riemannian normal coordinates and momentum operators as infinitesimal right translation operators connected with geodesic multiplication of points of the spacetime is proposed. Detailed calculations for the simplest model of a two-dimensional Newtonian spacetime are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0923.00013].
