Quantization of Carrollian fermions

We provide the first example of interacting quantized Carrollian Dirac fermions in four dimensions and investigate their discrete symmetries, including charge conjugation (<a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mrow><a:mi>C</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math>), parity (<c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>P</c:mi></c:math>), and time reversal (<e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mi>T</e:mi></e:math>) transformations. As a toy model, we couple these fermions to a Carrollian scalar field using Carrollian Yukawa theory and compute the tree-level diagram, revealing an ultralocal interaction between the Carrollian fermions and the scalar field. This interaction, widely known as a Dirac delta interaction with time-dependent factor, frequently appears in quantum physics.

Abstract

We provide the first example of interacting quantized Carrollian Dirac fermions in four dimensions and investigate their discrete symmetries, including charge conjugation (<a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:mrow><a:mi>C</a:mi></a:mrow></a:math>), parity (<c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><c:mi>P</c:mi></c:math>), and time reversal (<e:math xmlns:e="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><e:mi>T</e:mi></e:math>) transformations. As a toy model, we couple these fermions to a Carrollian scalar field using Carrollian Yukawa theory and compute the tree-level diagram, revealing an ultralocal interaction between the Carrollian fermions and the scalar field. This interaction, widely known as a Dirac delta interaction with time-dependent factor, frequently appears in quantum physics. We then address the renormalization of the theory by employing the Wilsonian procedure at one-loop order. Furthermore, we analyze the fixed points and stability properties of Carrollian Yukawa theory, comparing them with their relativistic counterparts. Beyond the specific Yukawa model studied here, we expect that our framework will have broader applications in Carrollian physics, particularly in understanding ultralocal interactions and their role in condensed matter systems, where similar phenomena arise in strongly correlated and nonrelativistic regimes.
