We exploit the close relationship between the Carroll and fracton/dipole algebras, together with the method of coadjoint orbits, to define and classify classical Carroll and fracton particles. This approach establishes a Carroll/fracton…
Carrollian field theories have recently emerged as a candidate dual to flat space quantum gravity. We carefully quantize simple two-derivative Carrollian theories, revealing a strong sensitivity to the ultraviolet. They can be regulated…
We study free Carrollian quantum field theories from an algebraic perspective and explore their implications for flat space holography. As explicit examples, we construct the electric and magnetic Carrollian Weyl algebras obtained from…
We compute electromagnetic fields created by a relativistic charged spin-half particle in empty space at distances comparable to the particle Compton wavelength. The particle is described as a wave packet evolving according to the Dirac…
Astonishing cancellations take place in the calculation of high-energy scattering cross sections in quantum quadratic gravity, a quantum field theory for gravity. Tree-level differential cross sections that are minimally inclusive behave as…
We consider a quantum theory based on a Galois field. In this approach infinities cannot exist, the cosmological constant problem does not arise, and one irreducible representation (IR) of the symmetry algebra splits into independent IRs…
We study the decomposition of the Hilbert space of quantum field theory in $(d+1)$ dimensional de Sitter spacetime into Unitary Irreducible Representations (UIRs) of its isometry group \SO$(1,d+1)$. Firstly, we consider multi-particle…
The theory of particle scattering is concerned with transition amplitudes between states that belong to unitary representations of the Poincar\'e group. The latter acts as the isometry group of Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$, making…
This thesis explores several facets of Carroll symmetries through their applications to field theories and gravity. The geometric description of curved Carroll manifolds is developed from a Cartan-geometric viewpoint, reviewed at the…
In this paper we discuss in detail the interface between Classical Electrodynamics and Quantum Theory, which shows up as well known unphysical phenomena at the Compton scale in both the theories and argue that the photon of the…
The null conformal boundary $\mathscr{I}$ of Minkowski spacetime $\mathbb{M}$ plays a special role in scattering theory, as it is the locus where massless particle states are most naturally defined. We construct quantum fields on…
Using carefully chosen projections, we consider different Carroll limits of relativistic Dirac fermions in any spacetime dimensions. These limits define Carroll fermions of two types: electric and magnetic. The latter type transforms as a…
Generalizing the noncommutative harmonic oscillator construction, we propose a new extension of quantum field theory based on the concept of "noncommutative fields". Our description permits to break the usual particle-antiparticle…
Carrollian Holography aims to provide a holographic description of quantum gravity in asymptotically flat spacetimes, in terms of a novel kind of `carrollian' conformal field theory defined on the spacetime null conformal boundary…
We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, classical, globally hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the formulation of the theory and presents known results in a…
Fock representations are constructed for a free scalar field in the closed and quasi-Euclidean isotropic cosmological models. Invariance of their cyclic vector (vacuum) under isometries and the correspondence principle single out a class of…
Quantization of free Dirac fields is formulated in terms of a reducible representation of CAR. Similarly to the bosonic case we arrive at field operators which are indeed operators and not operator valued distributions. Observables such as…
We revisit the classifications of classical and quantum galilean particles: that is, we fully classify homogeneous symplectic manifolds and unitary irreducible projective representations of the Galilei group. Equivalently, these are…
We expand on the known result that the Carroll algebra in $2+1$ dimensions admits two non-trivial central extensions by computing the associated Lie group, which we call extended Carroll group. The symplectic geometry associated to this…
Generally, quantum field theories can be thought as deformations away from conformal field theories. In this article, with a simple bottom up model assumed to possess a holographic description, we study a putative large N quantum field…
