abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel way to construct off-shell actions of $d$-dimensional Carrollian field theories by considering the null-reduction of the Bargmann invariant actions in $d+1$ dimensions. This is based on the fact that $d$-dimensional Carrollian symmetry is the restriction of the $(d+1)$-dimensional Bargmann symmetry to a null hyper-surface. We focus on free scalar field theory and electromagnetic field theory, and show that the electric and magnetic sectors of these theories originate from different Bargmann invariant actions in one higher dimension. In the cases of the massless free scalar field and $d=4$ electromagnetic field, we verify Carrollian conformal invariance of the resulting theories, and find that there appear naturally chain representations and staggered modules of Carrollian conformal algebra.

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A c-dependent similarity transformation generates new Galilean and Carrollian fermion actions, including a Carrollian model with non-removable finite energy and a Galilean model with an accidental fermionic gauge symmetry.

  3. 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.

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    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.
