Carroll stories

J de Boer, J Hartong, NA Obers, W Sybesma… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We study various aspects of the Carroll limit in which the speed of light is sent to
zero. A large part of this paper is devoted to the quantization of Carroll field theories. We …

Carroll contractions of Lorentz-invariant theories

M Henneaux, P Salgado-Rebolledo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We consider Carroll-invariant limits of Lorentz-invariant field theories. We show that
just as in the case of electromagnetism, there are two inequivalent limits, one “electric” and …

Quantum Carroll/fracton particles

J Figueroa-O'Farrill, A Pérez, S Prohazka - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We classify and relate unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of the Carroll and
dipole groups, ie, we define elementary quantum Carroll and fracton particles and establish …

Limits of JT gravity

D Grumiller, J Hartong, S Prohazka, J Salzer - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We construct various limits of JT gravity, including Newton-Cartan and Carrollian
versions of dilaton gravity in two dimensions as well as a theory on the three-dimensional …

Carrollian manifolds and null infinity: a view from Cartan geometry

Y Herfray - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
We discuss three different (conformally) Carrollian geometries and their relation to null
infinity from the unifying perspective of Cartan geometry. Null infinity per se comes with …

The gauging procedure and carrollian gravity

J Figueroa-O'Farrill, E Have, S Prohazka… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We discuss a gauging procedure that allows us to construct lagrangians that
dictate the dynamics of an underlying Cartan geometry. In a sense to be made precise in the …

Carroll expansion of general relativity

D Hansen, N Obers, G Oling, BT Søgaard - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We study the small speed of light expansion of general relativity, utilizing the modern
perspective on non-Lorentzian geometry. This is an expansion around the ultra-local Carroll …

Carrollian and celestial spaces at infinity

J Figueroa-O'Farrill, E Have, S Prohazka… - Journal of High Energy …, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We show that the geometry of the asymptotic infinities of Minkowski spacetime (in
d+ 1 dimensions) is captured by homogeneous spaces of the Poincaré group: the blow-ups …

Carroll geodesics

L Ciambelli, D Grumiller - The European Physical Journal C, 2024 - Springer
Using effective field theory methods, we derive the Carrollian analog of the geodesic action.
We find that it contains both “electric” and “magnetic” contributions that are in general …

Dynamics of Carrollian scalar fields

L Ciambelli - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2024 - iopscience.iop.org
Adopting an intrinsic Carrollian viewpoint, we show that the generic Carrollian scalar field
action is a combination of electric and magnetic actions, found in the literature by taking the …
