abstract
The Carroll algebra is constructed as the $c\to0$ limit of the Poincare algebra and is associated to symmetries on generic null surfaces. In this paper, we begin investigations of Carrollian fermions or fermions defined on generic null surfaces. Due to the availability of two different (degenerate) metrics on Carroll spacetimes, there is the possibility of two different versions of Carroll Clifford algebras. We consider both possibilities and construct explicit representations of Carrollian gamma matrices and show how to build higher spacetime dimensional representations out of lower ones. Actions for Carroll fermions are constructed with these gamma matrices and the properties of these actions are investigated. We show that in condensed matter systems where the dispersion relation becomes trivial i.e. the energy is not dependent on momentum and bands flatten out, Carroll symmetry generically appears. We give explicit examples of this including that of twisted bi-layer graphene, where superconductivity appears at so called magic angles and connect this to Carroll fermions.

A microscopic derivation of Carrollian fluid equations from a statistical mechanics of interacting instantonic branes, plus initial elements of Carrollian thermodynamics.
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.
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.
Electric and magnetic Carrollian limits of N=1, D=4 supergravity are obtained by Hamiltonian contraction, yielding ultralocal electric and gradient-retaining magnetic theories with simplified constraint algebras.
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.
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.
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.
A review summarizing Carrollian symmetries, CCFT constructions, and applications in AFS holography, Carroll hydrodynamics, and condensed matter phenomena such as fractons and flat bands.
