Abstract

We construct rotating black holes in Carroll gravity using two distinct approaches. In one of them, we exploit the freedom in the Carroll compatible connection to encode rotation. In particular, we construct rotating solutions in magnetic Carroll gravity by dressing the Carroll-Schwarzschild black hole with a rotational charge. This solution is intrinsically Carrollian and has no Lorentzian analog. In the other approach, we construct an extension of magnetic Carroll gravity from general relativity in an odd-power expansion in the speed of light. This theory contains magnetic Carroll gravity as a subsector but has in general more physical degrees of freedom. We show that this theory admits a Carroll analog of the Kerr black hole as a solution, which we refer to as the "Kerroll black hole". Its rotation appears as an intrinsically odd-power effect in the Carroll data. We compute the corresponding conserved charges for both theories.
