Motivated by recent advances in non-Lorentzian physics, we revisit the light-cone formulation of quantum field theories. We discuss some interesting subalgebras within the light-cone Poincar\'e algebra, with a key emphasis on the Carroll,…
In this paper, we propose a novel way to construct off-shell actions of $d$-dimensional Carrollian field theories by considering the null-reduction of the Bargmann invariant actions in $d+1$ dimensions. This is based on the fact that…
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…
We utilize the deformed light-cone formalism to investigate the Carrollian version of a complex vector field theory. We find that after applying the null-reduction procedure and the Carrollian limit $c\rightarrow 0$, the "-" null-direction…
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…
We consider Carroll-invariant limits of Lorentz-invariant field theories. We show that just as in the case of electromagnetism, there are two inequivalent limits, one "electric" and the other "magnetic". Each can be obtained from the…
We investigate fermions on Carrollian manifolds. We complement previous intrinsic analysis by deriving Carrollian fermion actions from a relativistic Dirac theory via a systematic expansion in the speed of light ($c$). We then study…
Conformal Carrollian groups are known to be isomorphic to Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) groups that arise as the asymptotic symmetries at the null boundary of Minkowski spacetime. The Carrollian algebra is obtained from the Poincare algebra by…
We discuss a gauging procedure that allows us to construct lagrangians that dictate the dynamics of an underlying Cartan geometry. In a sense to be made precise in the paper, the starting datum in the gauging procedure is a Klein pair…
We construct Carroll-invariant theories with fields propagating outside the Carroll lightcone, i.e., at a speed strictly greater than zero (`Carroll swiftons'). We first consider models in flat Carroll spacetime in general dimensions, where…
We work out non-Lorentzian dual actions for electromagnetism and linearised gravity, both in the Carrollian and Galilean cases. This is done in the same way as for Lorentzian theories, by first constructing a parent action that reduces to a…
This study of gauge field theories on kappa-deformed Minkowski spacetime extends previous work on field theories on this example of a noncommutative spacetime. We construct deformed gauge theories for arbitrary compact Lie groups using the…
We present a Cartan-like first-order action principle for electric Carrollian gravity. The action is invariant under the local homogeneous Carroll group, albeit in a different representation than the one obtained by gauging the Carroll…
In principle, the complete spectrum and bound-state wave functions of a quantum field theory can be determined by finding the eigenvalues and eigensolutions of its light-cone Hamiltonian. One of the challenges in obtaining nonperturbative…
We demonstrate how a Lorentz covariant formulation of the chiral p-form model in D=2(p+1) containing infinitely many auxiliary fields is related to a Lorentz covariant formulation with only one auxiliary scalar field entering a chiral…
We investigate a class of first-order scalar field theories minimally coupled to a Carrollian connection that are defined intrinsically on the Carrollian plane, i.e., the theories are not defined via limits of Lorentzian theories. The…
We argue that generic field theories defined on null manifolds should have an emergent BMS or conformal Carrollian structure. We then focus on a simple interacting conformal Carrollian theory, viz. Carrollian scalar electrodynamics. We look…
We work on a 4-manifold equipped with Lorentzian metric $g$ and consider a volume-preserving diffeomorphism which is the unknown quantity of our mathematical model. The diffeomorphism defines a second Lorentzian metric $h$, the pullback of…
We consider gauge theories on Poisson manifolds emerging as semiclassical approximations of noncommutative spacetime with Lie algebra type noncommutativity. We prove an important identity, which allows to obtain simple and manifestly…
We provide a detailed construction of the quantum theory of the massless scalar field on 2-dimensional, globally-hyperbolic (in particular, Lorentzian) manifolds using the framework of perturbative algebraic quantum field theory. From this…
