abstract
The Carroll group was originally introduced by Levy-Leblond [1] by considering the limit of the Poincar\'e group as $c\to0$. In this paper an alternative definition, based on the geometric properties of a non-Minkowskian, non-Galilean but nevertheless boost-invariant, space-time structure is proposed. A "duality" with the Galilean limit $c\to\infty$ is established. Our theory is illustrated by Carrollian electromagnetism.

Carrollian QFTs from scalar limits admit regular invariant vacua and KMS states only in the massive electric sector; a factorizing quasifree state is constructed for flat-space holography isolating nonseparable zero modes.
Tensionless strings arise exclusively at birth in the ultra-shrinking limit of a causal diamond worldsheet, revealing a new phase with global ultra-local Carrollian structure.
A path integral with asymptotic boundary conditions produces the gravitational S-matrix and derives soft graviton theorems from extended BMS symmetry Ward identities.
Carroll hydrodynamics with spin is obtained as the c→0 limit of relativistic hydrodynamics with spin, extending the description of boost-invariant flows.
Derives heavy-light conformal blocks in 2d C/G CFTs and computes excited-state entanglement entropy via replica trick, finding thermal form that reproduces holographic EE and establishes dictionary between boundary weights and bulk mass/angular momentum.
Constructs Carrollian OPEs that govern short-distance behavior, extends representation theory for composites, and classifies 2-, 3-, and 4-point correlators/amplitudes under Carrollian symmetry.
Develops worldsheet sigma model for fundamental strings in critical type IIA limit showing nodal singularities and derives T-duality web unifying decoupling limits including ambitwistor and Carrollian strings.
Carrollian fermionic actions for electric and magnetic sectors are derived from a single Bargmann Dirac action by null reduction, with good and bad fermions as dynamical and constrained modes valid in any dimension.
Carrollian fermion actions are obtained from relativistic Dirac theory via c-expansion and connected to light-cone dynamics through co-dimension one Carroll subalgebras in the Poincaré algebra.
Generalized entanglement wedges rephrase the connected wedge theorem in bulk entropy terms, yielding mutual information bounds and a scattering-to-connected-wedge implication that extends to flat spacetimes.
Lecture notes that build the BMS group from prerequisites to applications in soft theorems, memory effects, and new material on asymptotic conformal Killing horizons.
A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
