the Institute for Theoretical and Mathematical Physics, Lomonosov Moscow State University …

Fractons, dipole symmetries and curved spacetime

L Bidussi, J Hartong, E Have, J Musaeus, S Prohazka - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We study complex scalar theories with dipole symmetry and uncover a no-go theorem that
governs the structure of such theories and which, in particular, reveals that a Gaussian …

Snowmass white paper: higher spin gravity and higher spin symmetry

X Bekaert, N Boulanger, A Campoleoni… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Higher Spin Gravity refers to extensions of gravity including at least one field of spin greater
than two. These extensions are expected to provide manageable models of quantum gravity …

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 …

On higher-dimensional Carrollian and Galilean conformal field theories

B Chen, R Liu, Y Zheng - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
In this paper, we study the Carrollian and Galilean conformal field theories (CCFT and
GCFT) in $ d> 2$ dimensions. We construct the highest weight representations (HWR) of …

Symmetry group at future null infinity: Scalar theory

WB Liu, J Long - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
We reduce the massless scalar field theory in Minkowski spacetime to future null infinity. We
compute the Poincaré flux operators, which can be generalized and identified as the …

Massless scalars and higher-spin BMS in any dimension

X Bekaert, B Oblak - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Starting from the asymptotic kinematics of massless scalar fields near null infinity in
any spacetime dimension, we build two higher-spin extensions of the Carrollian definition of …

[HTML][HTML] Carrollian conformal scalar as flat-space singleton

X Bekaert, A Campoleoni, S Pekar - Physics Letters B, 2023 - Elsevier
We show that, in any space-time dimension, the on-shell (electric) conformal Carrollian
scalar can be interpreted as the flat-space limit of the singleton representation of the …

Asymptotic symmetries in Carrollian theories of gravity

A Pérez - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract Asymptotic symmetries in Carrollian gravitational theories in 3+ 1 space and time
dimensions obtained from “magnetic” and “electric” ultrarelativistic contractions of General …

Quantization of Carrollian conformal scalar theories

B Chen, H Sun, Y Zheng - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
In this work, we study the quantization of Carrollian conformal scalar theories, including two-
dimensional (2D) magnetic scalar and three-dimensional (3D) electric and magnetic scalars …
