Abstract

The dynamics of black hole horizons has recently been linked to that of Carrollian fluids. This results in a dictionary between geometrical quantities and those of a fluid with unusual properties due its underlying Carrollian symmetries. In this work we explore this relation in dynamical settings with the interest of shedding light on either side by relevant observations. In particular: we discuss how the null surface where the Carrollian fluid evolves is affected by its behavior; that the fluid's equilibration properties are tied to teleological considerations; the connection of higher derivative contributions as both source of energy and dissipation for the fluid and the non-linear behavior of black holes. This latter point, connects with discussions of non-linear modes in the relaxation to equilibrium of perturbed black holes.
