Abstract

In this work we present the ultra-relativistic N\mathcal{N}-extended AdS Chern-Simons supergravity theories in three spacetime dimensions invariant under N\mathcal{N}-extended AdS Carroll superalgebras. We first consider the (2,0)(2,0) and (1,1)(1,1) cases; subsequently, we generalize our analysis to N=(N,0)\mathcal{N}=(\mathcal{N},0), with N\mathcal{N} even, and to N=(p,q)\mathcal{N}=(p,q), with p,q>0p,q>0. The N\mathcal{N}-extended AdS Carroll superalgebras are obtained through the Carrollian (i.e., ultra-relativistic) contraction applied to an so(2)so(2) extension of osp(22)sp(2)\mathfrak{osp}(2|2)\otimes \mathfrak{sp}(2), to osp(21)osp(2,1)\mathfrak{osp}(2|1)\otimes \mathfrak{osp}(2,1), to an so(N)\mathfrak{so}(\mathcal{N}) extension of osp(2N)sp(2)\mathfrak{osp}(2|\mathcal{N})\otimes \mathfrak{sp}(2), and to the direct sum of an so(p)so(q)\mathfrak{so}(p) \oplus \mathfrak{so}(q) algebra and osp(2p)osp(2,q)\mathfrak{osp}(2|p)\otimes \mathfrak{osp}(2,q), respectively. We also analyze the flat limit (\ell \rightarrow \infty, being \ell the length parameter) of the aforementioned N\mathcal{N}-extended Chern-Simons AdS Carroll supergravities, in which we recover the ultra-relativistic N\mathcal{N}-extended (flat) Chern-Simons supergravity theories invariant under N\mathcal{N}-extended super-Carroll algebras. The flat limit is applied at the level of the superalgebras, Chern-Simons actions, supersymmetry transformation laws, and field equations.
