It is well-known that unlike space-like and time-like hypersurfaces, null hypersurfaces in Lorentzian manifolds do not naturally inherit an affine connection from the spacetime in which they are embedded. On the other hand, recent…

Motivated by the thermodynamics of black hole solutions conformal to stationary solutions, we study the geometric invariant theory of null hypersurfaces. It is well-known that a null hypersurface in a Lorentzian manifold can be treated as a…

The Carroll algebra is constructed as the $c\to0$ limit of the Poincare algebra and is associated to symmetries on generic null surfaces. In this paper, we begin investigations of Carrollian fermions or fermions defined on generic null…

Using effective field theory methods, we derive the Carrollian analog of the geodesic action. We find that it contains both `electric' and `magnetic' contributions that are in general coupled to each other. The equations of motion…

Carrollian physics provides the natural framework for describing null hypersurfaces. This review explores the geometry of Carrollian manifolds -- spaces endowed with a degenerate metric. We begin with an algebraic overview of the Carroll…

The effect of fermionic string conductivity by purely right (or purely left) moving ``zero modes'' is shown to be governed by a simple Lagrangian characterising a certain ``chiral'' (null current carrying) string model whose dynamical…

We derive Carrollian fermionic actions using the null reduction method from Bargmann spacetimes. In the Lorentzian light-cone formulation, the Dirac spinor naturally decomposes into dynamical and constrained degrees of freedom $-$ the…

This work challenges the conventional notion that in spacetime dimension higher than one, a supersymmetric Lagrangian invariably consists of purely bosonic terms, purely fermionic terms, as well as boson-fermion mixing terms. By recasting a…

We study the concept of Carrollian spacetime starting from its underlying fiber-bundle structure. The latter admits an Ehresmann connection, which enables a natural separation of time and space, preserved by the subset of Carrollian…

Carroll symmetry is a very powerful characteristic of generic null surfaces, as it replaces the usual Poincar\'e algebra with a vanishing speed of light version thereof. These symmetries have found universal applications in the physics of…

We construct the free Lagrangian of the magnetic sector of Carrollian electrodynamics. The construction relies on Helmholtz integrability condition for differential equations in a self consistent algorithm, working hand in hand with…

We start from a Lorentzian action in a deformed light-cone background and applying the method of null reduction leads to a Carrollian action in one lower spacetime dimensions. We also identify the correct light-cone definitions of the…

The fundamental concepts of Riemannian geometry, such as differential forms, vielbein, metric, connection, torsion and curvature, are generalized in the context of non-commutative geometry. This allows us to construct the…
