Venue: 

APCTP Room 503 & Online via Zoom (Meeting ID: 817 6876 9356  / Passcode: 2026)

Program: 

This 4-hour lecture series will provide an introduction to Carrollian geometry and dynamics, emphasizing their emerging role in flat space holography. Starting from the Carrollian limit of relativistic field theories and gravity, the lectures will review the basic geometric structures associated with Carroll manifolds, asymptotic symmetries at null infinity, and the appearance of Carrollian field theories as natural dual descriptions of asymptotically flat spacetimes. Particular attention will be devoted to the interplay between Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries, Carrollian conservation laws, and holographic reconstruction in flat space. The lectures are intended for graduate students and researchers with background knowledge in quantum field theory and general relativity.
