Theme 2: Carroll session

We review the study of Carroll limits on partition functions of relativistic conformal theories and their thermodynamics. We focus on 2d holographic CFTs and revisit the connection between the Carroll limit and the flat space limit of BTZ black holes. The general picture, valid in any dimension, is that, starting from AdS/CFT, the boundary Carrollian field theory lives on the horizon of a...

Theme 2: Carroll session

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,...
