Title: Applied Foliated Conformal Carroll Symmetries

Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss different aspects of the so-called Carroll geometry that shows up in different extreme physical situations such as at asymptotic null infinity, Black Hole horizons and Black Hole singularities. I will stress the analogies and differences with the Riemannian geometry underlying General Relativity which we are so much more used to. In particular, related to recent work, I will discuss conformal extensions and different foliated versions of the Carroll symmetries.
