We construct two distinct actions for scalar fields that are invariant under local Carroll boosts and Weyl transformations. Conformal Carroll field theories were recently argued to be related to the celestial holography description of asymptotically flat spacetimes. However, only few explicit examples of such theories are known, and they lack local Carroll boost symmetry on a generic curved background. We derive two types of conformal Carroll scalar actions with boost symmetry on a curved background in any dimension and compute their energy-momentum tensors, which are traceless. In the first type of theories, time derivatives dominate and spatial derivatives are suppressed. In the second type, spatial derivatives dominate, and constraints are present to ensure local boost invariance. By integrating out these constraints, we show that the spatial conformal Carroll theories can be reduced to lower-dimensional Euclidean CFTs, which is reminiscent of the embedding space construction.

Modular Hamiltonian and entanglement entropy in the BMS free fermion theory
In the BMS free fermion model, the two-interval modular Hamiltonian has local plus bi-local terms, and the vacuum entanglement entropy for n intervals is the chiral-CFT formula with c_L=1 and c_M=0.

Anisotropic conformal Carroll field theories and their gravity duals
Plane wave spacetimes in three and four dimensions realize anisotropic conformal Carroll algebras as their (asymptotic) symmetry algebras, providing candidate holographic duals for z-anisotropic Carrollian CFTs.

Lectures on Carrollian Holography
Massless scattering amplitudes, including gravitons, can be recast as correlators of a carrollian conformal field theory on null infinity, but the non-perturbative bootstrap program remains incomplete.
