Carroll fermions, expansions and the lightcone

Arjun Bagchi, Saikat Mondal

We investigate fermions on Carrollian manifolds. We complement previous intrinsic analysis by deriving Carrollian fermion actions from a relativistic Dirac theory via a systematic…

The Tensionless Lives of Null Strings

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Ritankar Chatterjee +1

The tensionless limit probes the very high energy regime of string theory in contrast to the well studied point-particle limit which reduces to Einstein gravity. Tensionless string…

Scalar fields and 3D Flat Space Cosmologies

Arjun Bagchi, Supratik Biswas, Astha Kakkar +1

Flat Space Cosmologies (FSC) are time-dependent solutions in Einstein gravity in three-dimensional (3D) spacetimes with zero cosmological constant. These are orbifolds of 3D flat s…

The Carrollian Kaleidoscope

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Prateksh Dhivakar +2

The Carroll group arises in the vanishing speed of light limit of the Poincaré group and was initially discarded as just a mathematical curiosity. However, recent developments have…

Emergent Carroll symmetry at phase separation in one-dimensional lattice systems

Sourav Biswas, Ashutosh Dubey, Saikat Mondal +3

Asymptotic behavior of generic Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid in the vicinity of phase-separated regions is known to produce an instability where well-known relativistic Conformal Field…

Carroll in Shallow Water

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Saikat Mondal +1

We discover a surprising connection between Carrollian symmetries and hydrodynamics in the shallow water approximation. Carrollian symmetries arise in the speed of light going to z…

Strings, Virasoro Sandwiches and Worldsheet Horizons

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Ida M. Rasulian +1

We revisit the canonical quantization of free bosonic closed string theory and observe that the physicality of states requires vanishing of the worldsheet Virasoro algebra generato…

3d Carrollian Chern-Simons theory and 2d Yang-Mills

Arjun Bagchi, Arthur Lipstein, Mangesh Mandlik +1

With the goal of building a concrete co-dimension one holographically dual field theory for four dimensional asymptotically flat spacetimes (4d AFS) as a limit of AdS/CFT,…

Strings near black holes are Carrollian -- Part II

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Jelle Hartong +2

We study classical closed bosonic strings probing the near-horizon region of a non-extremal black hole and show that this corresponds to understanding string theory in the Carroll…

Beyond Wilson? Carroll from current deformations

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Saikat Mondal +2

At extreme energies, both low and high, the spacetime symmetries of relativistic quantum field theories (QFTs) are expected to change with Galilean symmetries emerging in the very…

Strings near black holes are Carrollian

Arjun Bagchi, Aritra Banerjee, Jelle Hartong +3

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 l…

A generalized Selberg zeta function for flat space cosmologies

Arjun Bagchi, Cynthia Keeler, Victoria Martin +1

Flat space cosmologies (FSCs) are time dependent solutions of three-dimensional (3D) gravity with a vanishing cosmological constant. They can be constructed from a discrete quotien…

Heavy-ion collisions, Gubser flow, and Carroll hydrodynamics

Arjun Bagchi, Kedar S. Kolekar, Taniya Mandal +1

Gubser flow provides an analytic model for describing the spacetime dynamics of the quark-gluon plasma produced in heavy-ion collisions. Along with boost and rotation invariance al…
