Sengupta Transformations and Carrollian Relativistic Theory
Abstract
A detailed and systematic formulation of Carrollian relativity is provided. Based on the transformations, first provided by Sengupta [19], we construct a mapping between Lorentz relativistic and Carrollian relativistic vectors. Using this map the Carroll theory is built from the standard Maxwell action. We show that we get self-consistent equations of motion from the action, both in electric and magnetic limits. We introduce Carroll electric and magnetic fields. A new set of maps is derived that connects Carroll electric and magnetic fields with the usual Maxwell ones and yields Carroll equations in terms of fields. Consistency of results with the potential formulation is shown. Carroll version of symmetries like duality, gauge, shift, Noether and boost are treated in details and their implications elaborated. Especially, boost symmetry provides a link to the various maps used in this paper.
