From Galilei to Euclidean Carroll and the Alice Particle: The Times They Are a-Changin'

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Luca Romano, Jan Rosseel +3

In generalized, also known as -brane Galilei limits, the speed of light becomes infinite in the directions transverse to a -dimensional Lorentzian worldvolume. In thi…

Applied foliated conformal Carroll symmetries

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Patrick Concha, Octavio Fierro +2

We apply the conformal compensating technique for constructing matter couplings to conformal scalars on a -dimensional foliated conformal Carroll manifold dividing the tangent s…

A conformal approach to matter coupled Aristotelian gravity

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Giacomo Giorgi, Jan Rosseel +1

We show how to take the first step in the conformal program for constructing general matter couplings to Aristotelian gravity with arbitrary -brane foliation. For this purpose w…

The surprising structure of non-relativistic 11-dimensional supergravity

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner +1

We study a non-relativistic limit of 11-dimensional supergravity. This limit leads to a theory with an underlying membrane Newton-Cartan geometry. Consistency of the non-relativist…

A Conformal Approach to Carroll Gravity

Eric A. Bergshoeff, Patrick Concha, Octavio Fierro +2

We show how to take the first step in the conformal program for constructing general matter couplings to Carroll gravity. In particular, we couple a single massless electric/magnet…
