abstract
Carroll symmetry arises from Poincar\'e symmetry upon taking the limit of vanishing speed of light. We determine the constraints on the energy-momentum tensor implied by Carroll symmetry and show that for energy-momentum tensors of perfect fluid form, these imply an equation of state ${\cal E}+P=0$ for energy density plus pressure. Therefore Carroll symmetry might be relevant for dark energy and inflation. In the Carroll limit, the Hubble radius goes to zero and outside it recessional velocities are naturally large compared to the speed of light. The de Sitter group of isometries, after the limit, becomes the conformal group in Euclidean flat space. We also study the Carroll limit of chaotic inflation, and show that the scalar field is naturally driven to have an equation of state with $w=-1$. Finally we show that the freeze-out of scalar perturbations in the two point function at horizon crossing is a consequence of Carroll symmetry. To make the paper self-contained, we include a brief pedagogical review of Carroll symmetry, Carroll particles and Carroll field theories that contains some new material as well. In particular we show, using an expansion around speed of light going to zero, that for scalar and Maxwell type theories one can take two different Carroll limits at the level of the action. In the Maxwell case these correspond to the electric and magnetic limit. For point particles we show that there are two types of Carroll particles: those that cannot move in space and particles that cannot stand still.

A microscopic derivation of Carrollian fluid equations from a statistical mechanics of interacting instantonic branes, plus initial elements of Carrollian thermodynamics.
The NLO/NNLO small-c (Carroll) expansion of GR admits a rich stationary vacuum sector with rotating Lense-Thirring-type, C-metric-type, Hartle-Thorne-type, and higher-multipole solutions, going beyond the static magnetic Carroll truncation.
Free Carrollian quantum field theories admit well-defined vacuum and KMS states via algebraic methods, with massless theories requiring nonregular states whose Hilbert spaces factorize into Fock and nonseparable zero-mode sectors relevant for flat space holography.
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.
Magnetic Carroll supersymmetry descends from a twisted relativistic parent rather than naive contraction, realized in 3D N=2 with vector multiplet action whose conformal extension matches global super-BMS4.
New BMS3-invariant 2D scalar theories (electric, magnetic, canonical, coupled) with boundary analysis, flux laws, monodromy matching to 3D gravity, and complementary AdS3/dS3 flat limits.
Rotating black holes are constructed in magnetic Carroll gravity, including an intrinsically Carrollian dressed solution and a Kerroll black hole from an odd-power c-expansion of GR, with conserved charges computed.
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.
The c to zero limit of ABJM theory produces a Carrollian superconformal theory with extended BMS4 symmetry using Carrollian Dirac matrices.
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.
Loop-level Carrollian amplitudes in N=4 SYM and N=8 supergravity are differential operators on tree-level versions, with logarithmic eikonal behavior and IR-safe factorization via natural splitting.
Carroll hydrodynamics with spin is obtained as the c→0 limit of relativistic hydrodynamics with spin, extending the description of boost-invariant flows.
The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.
Establishes a holographic link between bulk gravitational radiation and dissipative corrections plus entropy production in boundary fluids, then constructs Carrollian analogues and celestial observables in the flat limit.
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.
A 3d sourced conformal Carrollian field theory is proposed to holographically capture 4d flat gravity kinematics, with Ward identities matching 2d celestial CFT after relating operators.
The work identifies a broader class of 2D Carrollian CFT correlators that encode massive 3D Minkowski S-matrices and constructs the corresponding bulk-to-boundary propagator.
Defines post-Carroll algebra allowing central charges in higher dimensions, constructs its conformal extension and the Carroll-Schrödinger algebra matching prior theory, and derives two-point functions in post-Carrollian CFTs with electric/magnetic sectors in 1+1 dimensions.
Krylov complexity growth distinguishes phase-dependent resilience of Carrollian sectors in all-bands-flat fermionic ladders against delocalizing perturbations and exhibits UV sensitivity in a continuum Carroll scalar field with gradient deformation.
A square-root T-bar-T deformation of 2D scalar fields carries the theory from relativistic conformal to Carrollian conformal, producing a new nonlinear 'magnetic' Carroll action at one end of the flow.
Discusses features of non-relativistic supersymmetric field theories from Galilean and Carrollian points of view to aid construction of electric and magnetic variants.
A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
