Newton–Cartan theory
Newton–Cartan theory is a geometrical re-formulation, as well as a generalization, of Newtonian gravity developed by Élie Cartan. In this re-formulation, the structural similarities between Newton's theory and Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity are readily seen, and it has been used by Cartan and Kurt Friedrichs to give a rigorous formulation of the way in which Newtonian gravity can be seen as a specific limit of general relativity, and by Jürgen Ehlers to extend this correspondence to specific solutions of general relativity.
==Geometric formulation of Poisson's equation==

In Newton's theory of gravitation, Poisson's equation reads
:
\Delta U = 4 \pi G \rho \,

where U is the gravitational potential, G is the gravitational constant and \rho is the mass density. The weak equivalence principle motivates a geometric version of the equation of motion for a point particle in the potential U
:
m_t \ddot = - m_g \nabla U

where m_t is the inertial mass and m_g the gravitational mass. Since, according to the weak equivalence principle m_t = m_g , the according equation of motion
:
\ddot = - \nabla U

doesn't contain anymore a reference to the mass of the particle. Following the idea that the solution of the equation then is a property of the curvature of space, a connection is constructed so that the geodesic equation
:
\frac + \Gamma_^\lambda \frac\frac = 0

represents the equation of motion of a point particle in the potential U. The resulting connection is
:
\Gamma_^ = \gamma^ U_ \Psi_\mu \Psi_\nu

with \Psi_\mu = \delta_\mu^0 and \gamma^ = \delta^\mu_A \delta^\nu_B \delta^ ( A, B = 1,2,3 ). The connection has been constructed in one inertial system but can be shown to be valid in any inertial system by showing the invariance of \Psi_\mu and \gamma^ under Galilei-transformations. The Riemann curvature tensor in inertial system coordinates of this connection is then given by
:
R^\lambda_ = 2 \gamma^ U_\Psi_\Psi_\kappa

where the brackets A_ = \frac (A_ - A_ ) mean the antisymmetric combination of the tensor A_ . The Ricci tensor is given by
:
R_ = \Delta U \Psi_\Psi_ \,

which leads to following geometric formulation of Poisson's equation
:
R_ = 4 \pi G \rho \Psi_\mu \Psi_\nu

More explicitly, if the roman indices ''i'' and ''j'' range over the spatial coordinates 1, 2, 3, then the connection is given by
:
\Gamma^i_ = U_

the Riemann curvature tensor by
:
R^i_ = -R^i_ = U_

and the Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar by
:
R = R_ = \Delta U

where all components not listed equal zero.
Note that this formulation does not require introducing the concept of a metric: the connection alone gives all the physical information.
