Aspects of nonrelativistic strings

G Oling, Z Yan - Frontiers in Physics, 2022 - frontiersin.org
We review recent developments on nonrelativistic string theory. In flat spacetime, the theory
is defined by a two-dimensional relativistic quantum field theory with nonrelativistic global …

Carroll symmetry, dark energy and inflation

J de Boer, J Hartong, NA Obers, W Sybesma… - Frontiers in …, 2022 - frontiersin.org
Carroll symmetry arises from Poincaré symmetry upon taking the limit of vanishing speed of
light. We determine the constraints on the energy-momentum tensor implied by Carroll …

Magic fermions: Carroll and flat bands

A Bagchi, A Banerjee, R Basu, M Islam… - Journal of High Energy …, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The Carroll algebra is constructed as the c→ 0 limit of the Poincare algebra and is
associated to symmetries on generic null surfaces. In this paper, we begin investigations of …

Conformal Carroll scalars with boosts

S Baiguera, G Oling, W Sybesma, BT Søgaard - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We construct two distinct actions for scalar fields that are invariant under local Carroll boosts
and Weyl transformations. Conformal Carroll field theories were recently argued to be …

Carrollian origins of Bjorken flow

A Bagchi, KS Kolekar, A Shukla - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Bjorken flow is among the simplest models of fluids moving near the speed of light (c), while
Carroll symmetry arises as a contraction of Poincaré group when c→ 0. We show that …

Flat Holography: Aspects of the dual field theory

A Bagchi, R Basu, A Kakkar, A Mehra - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract Assuming the existence of a field theory in D dimensions dual to (D+ 1)-
dimensional flat space, governed by the asymptotic symmetries of flat space, we make some …

Strings with non-relativistic conformal symmetry and limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence

T Harmark, J Hartong, L Menculini, NA Obers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We find a Polyakov-type action for strings moving in a torsional Newton-Cartan
geometry. This is obtained by starting with the relativistic Polyakov action and fixing the …

Carrollian hydrodynamics from symmetries

L Freidel, P Jai-akson - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2023 - iopscience.iop.org
In this work, we revisit Carrollian hydrodynamics, a type of non-Lorentzian hydrodynamics
which has recently gained increasing attentions due to its underlying connection with …

Strings near black holes are Carrollian

A Bagchi, A Banerjee, J Hartong, E Have, KS Kolekar… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We demonstrate that strings near the horizon of a Schwarzschild black hole, when viewed
by a stationary observer at infinity, probe a string Carroll geometry, where the effective light …

Conformal carroll groups

C Duval, GW Gibbons… - Journal of Physics A …, 2014 - iopscience.iop.org
Conformal extensions of Lévy–Leblondʼs Carroll group, based on geometric properties
analogous to those of Newton–Cartan space-time are proposed. The extensions are labeled …
