A Carroll limit of AdS/CFT: A triality with flat space holography?
- 1School of Mathematics & Hamilton Mathematics Institute, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland
Abstract
We construct a novel holographic duality by taking a Carrollian limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, relating string theory in a Carroll bulk geometry to a Carroll N = 4 Super Yang-Mills theory. We further propose the existence of an underlying triality connecting Carroll string theory, relativistic string theory in flat spacetime, and Carroll gauge theory. Finally, we analyse the symmetries of the Carroll gauge theory, showing that they are non-linearly realised and do not close under ordinary Lie brackets.
