Abstract

Motivated by flat space holography, we demonstrate that massive spin-s fields in Minkowski space near timelike infinity are massive carrollian fields on the carrollian counterpart of anti-de Sitter space called Ti. Its isometries form the Poincaré group, and we construct the carrollian spin-s fields using the method of induced representations. We provide a dictionary between massive carrollian fields on Ti and massive fields in Minkowski space, as well as to fields in the conformal primary basis used in celestial holography. We show that the symmetries of the carrollian structure naturally account for the BMS charges underlying the soft graviton theorem. Finally, we initiate a discussion of the correspondence between massive scattering amplitudes and carrollian correlation functions on Ti, and introduce physical definitions of detector operators using a suitable notion of conserved carrollian energy-momentum tensor.
