We classify and relate unitary irreducible representations (UIRs) of the Carroll and dipole groups, i.e., we define elementary quantum Carroll and fracton particles and establish a correspondence between them. Whenever possible, we express the UIRs in terms of fields on Carroll/aristotelian spacetime subject to their free field equations. We emphasise that free massive (or "electric") Carroll and fracton quantum field theories are ultralocal field theories and highlight their peculiar and puzzling thermodynamic features. We also comment on subtle differences between massless and "magnetic" Carroll field theories and discuss the importance of Carroll and fractons symmetries for flat space holography.

  1. From Galilei to Euclidean Carroll and the Alice Particle: The Times They Are a-Changin'

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.5 of 10

    Making time transversal turns p-brane Galilei limits into Euclidean p-brane Carroll limits, yielding for p=0 a centrally extended Alice algebra and Alice particle obtained from critical tachyon limits or two-time null...

  2. Missing Descendants in the Carrollian Conformal Family

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Including the missing K0 descendant chain completes Carrollian conformal representations and produces C2>0 sectors and two-point correlators fixed only up to functions of Carrollian invariants.

  3. Scaling Symmetry and Carrollian Gravity

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A single scaling-Carroll gauge-theory construction interpolates between dynamical Carroll gravity, Aristotelian gravity, and fracton gauge theories coupled to curved space.

  4. Planons and their Carroll-Galilei symmetries

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    A group-theoretic classification of planon dynamics shows that massless Galilei orbits describe planar-restricted particles, with dipoles arising from a mixed Carroll-Galilei symmetry.

  5. Modular Hamiltonian and entanglement entropy in the BMS free fermion theory

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Anisotropic conformal Carroll field theories and their gravity duals

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.
