Description
I will report on recent work with Emil Have, Stefan Prohazka and Jakob Salzer where we rephrase the gauging procedure in terms of Cartan geometry and apply it to derive carrollian theories of gravity. I will concentrate on two examples of what could be mis-labelled “gauging the Poincaré algebra”: the classic derivation of GR in the first-order formalism and a novel derivation of a version of carrollian gravity.
