چکیده

We give a causal version of Eisenhart's geodesic characterization of Newtonian dynamics. We emphasize the geometric, coordinate independent properties needed to express Eisenhart's theorem in light of modern studies on the Bargmann structures (lightlike dimensional reduction). The construction of the space metric, Coriolis 1-form and scalar potential through which the theorem is formulated is shown in detail, and in particular it is proved a one-to-one correspondence between Newtonian frames and Abelian connections on suitable lightlike principal bundles. The relation of Eisenhart's theorem in the lightlike case with a Fermat type principle is pointed out. The operation of lightlike lift is introduced and the existence of minimizers for the classical action is related to the causal simplicity of Eisenhart's spacetime.

It is shown that in the standard vacuum 5D Kaluza-Klein gravity there is a wormhole-like solution which look like a string attached to two D-branes. The asymptotical behaviour of the corresponding metric is investigated.
