Title: Carroll swiftons

Abstract: We construct Carroll-invariant theories with fields propagating outside the Carroll lightcone, i.e., at a speed strictly greater than zero (`Carroll swiftons'). We first consider models in flat Carroll spacetime in general dimensions, where we present scalar and vector Carroll swifton field theories. We then turn to the coupling to gravity and achieve in particular in two dimensions a Carroll invariant scalar swifton by coupling it suitably to Carroll dilaton gravity. Its backreaction on the geometry generates dynamical torsion.
