In a recent paper we have presented the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation of quantum mechanics, where the Hamiltonian plays a central role. In that paper, the space-time symmetry transformations served to endow the formal structure of the theory with a physical content. Nevertheless, the behavior of the interpretation Abstract: under the Galilean transformation was not explored in that work. The aim of this paper is to study the relationships between the modal-Hamiltonian interpretation and the Galilean transformations. In particular, we will consider in what sense the interpretation satisfies the physical constraints of equivalence between reference frames imposed by the Galilean group.
