Stress tensors of 3d Carroll CFTs (2212.11002v2)

Abstract: We discuss kinematical features of conformal Carroll field theories in three dimensions (3d). Conformal extension of Carroll algebra is infinite dimensional even in 3d unlike its relativistic counterpart, and hence 3d Carroll CFTs share similarities with 2d CFT. We provide a construction for the conserved charges for Carrollian CFTs and an expression for stress tensor OPEs consistent with the algebra of charges. We discuss a free field model where these symmetries are realised and explicitly compute the OPEs verifying our construction. In addition we comment on the possibility of extending the conformal symmetries to diffeomorphisms of spatial slice for these Carrollian theories.
