Carrollian conformal theories in momentum space

Abstract

We consider the Carrollian conformal field theories involving scalar operators in the momentum representation. The momentum space Ward identities are explicitly solved to obtain the different branches of 2 and 3 point Carrollian conformal correlators in the momentum space. These branches are symmetry-allowed structures, characterized by different analytic structures in the Carrollian energies, and are not necessarily realized simultaneously in a single consistent theory. For specific values of the conformal dimensions, the three-point functions in momentum space exhibit logarithmic behaviour. This has no analogue in position space and instead originates from singularities in the Fourier transform relating position and momentum space correlators. We also analyze the Carrollian limit of CFT 2 and 3 point functions of scalar operators in momentum space. By taking different scalings of CFT correlators with respect to the speed of light, we obtain different branches of the Carrollian conformal correlators in the momentum space. © The Author(s) 2026.
