abstract

According to the black hole membrane paradigm, the black hole event horizon behaves like a 2+1 dimensional fluid. The fluid has nonzero momentum density but zero velocity. As a result, it does not respond to tidal forces in the usual way. In this note, we point out that this unusual behavior can be traced back to an emergent, near-horizon Carroll symmetry (the Carroll group is the $c\rightarrow 0$ limit of the Poincar\'e group). For Schwarzschild black holes in $d=4$ general relativity, we relate the vanishing of the black hole fluid's velocity to vanishing of the black hole's Love numbers. This suggests near-horizon Carroll symmetry may have a role to play in explaining black hole Love numbers.

Kinetic Theory of Carroll Hydrodynamics

hep-th · 2026-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0 · 2 refs

A microscopic derivation of Carrollian fluid equations from a statistical mechanics of interacting instantonic branes, plus initial elements of Carrollian thermodynamics.

A Twisted Origin for Magnetic Carroll Supersymmetry

hep-th · 2026-03-30 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Magnetic Carroll supersymmetry descends from a twisted relativistic parent rather than naive contraction, realized in 3D N=2 with vector multiplet action whose conformal extension matches global super-BMS4.

Carroll fermions, expansions and the lightcone

hep-th · 2026-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Carrollian fermion actions are obtained from relativistic Dirac theory via c-expansion and connected to light-cone dynamics through co-dimension one Carroll subalgebras in the Poincaré algebra.
