Description

Galilean and Carrollian algebras are dual contractions of the Poincaré algebra. They act on two-dimensional Newton-Cartan and Carroll manifolds and are isomorphic. A consequence of this property is a duality correspondence between one-dimensional Galilean and Carrollian fluids. I will describe the dynamics of these systems as they emerge from the relevant limits of Lorentzian hydrodynamics, and explore the advertised duality relationship. This interchanges longitudinal and transverse directions with respect to the flow velocity, and permutes equilibrium and out-of-equilibrium observables, unveiling specific features of Carrollian physics and conservation. I will also discuss the hydrodynamic-frame invariance in Lorentzian systems and its fate in the Galilean and Carrollian avatars.
