论文摘要
1965年,我发表了一篇论文,展示了迄今为止洛伦兹集团的未知限制,因为它看似矛盾的物理内容,所以我将其命名为Carroll Group。由于我认为它比相关性更好奇,所以我在当时的理论物理学主流急性中用法语出版了它。目睹这篇论文在半个世纪后开始享受的最出乎意料的青睐是最令人高兴的,以至于所谓的Carrollian Physics现在正在发展,在最前沿的理论物理学的各个领域中应用,例如量子吸引力,超对称性,弦乐理论等。我将这种叙述作为与该科学构想的非常多样化的叙述一样(或者)。
In 1965, I published a paper, exhibiting a hitherto unknown limit of the Lorentz group, which I christened Carroll group because of its seemingly paradoxical physical contents. Since I saw it as more curious than relevant, I published it in French in a journal somewhat afar from the mainstream of theoretical physics at that time. It was most gratifying to witness the quite unexpected favour this paper started to enjoy half a century later, so much that a so-called Carrollian physics is now developing, with applications in various domains of forefront theoretical physics, such as quantum gravitation, supersymmetry, string theory, etc. I offer this narrative as an example of the very diverse time scales with which scientific ideas may develop (or not).
