In the hydrodynamic regime, field theories typically have their boost symmetry spontaneously broken due to the presence of a thermal rest frame although the associated Goldstone field does not acquire independent dynamics. We show that this is not the case for Carrollian field theories where the boost Goldstone field plays a central role. This allows us to give a first-principles derivation of the equilibrium currents and dissipative effects of Carrollian fluids. We also demonstrate that the limit of vanishing speed of light of relativistic fluids is a special case of this class of Carrollian fluids. Our results shine light on the thermodynamic properties and thermal partition functions of Carrollian field theories.

  1. The Energy-Momentum-News Complex near Future Null Infinity

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.5

    A Carroll-covariant energy-momentum-news complex at future null infinity yields Ward identities that generalise the Bondi loss equations, with an anomalous Carroll boost.

  2. A Twisted Origin for Magnetic Carroll Supersymmetry

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  3. Carroll hydrodynamics with spin

    hep-th 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Carroll hydrodynamics with spin is obtained as the c→0 limit of relativistic hydrodynamics with spin, extending the description of boost-invariant flows.

  4. Radiation in Fluid/Gravity and the Flat Limit

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.
