Aspects of nonrelativistic strings

G Oling, Z Yan - Frontiers in Physics, 2022 - frontiersin.org
We review recent developments on nonrelativistic string theory. In flat spacetime, the theory
is defined by a two-dimensional relativistic quantum field theory with nonrelativistic global …

The geometry, branes and applications of exceptional field theory

DS Berman, C Blair - International Journal of Modern Physics A, 2020 - World Scientific
This is a review of exceptional field theory: a generalisation of Kaluza–Klein theory that
unifies the metric and p-form gauge field degrees of freedom of supergravity into a …

A non-lorentzian primer

EA Bergshoeff, J Figueroa-O'Farrill… - SciPost Physics Lecture …, 2023 - scipost.org
We review both the kinematics and dynamics of non-lorentzian theories and their associated
geometries. First, we introduce non-lorentzian kinematical spacetimes and their symmetry …

Non-relativistic gravity and its coupling to matter

D Hansen, J Hartong, NA Obers - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We study the non-relativistic expansion of general relativity coupled to matter. This
is done by expanding the metric and matter fields analytically in powers of 1/c 2 where c is …

Nonrelativistic string theory and T-duality

E Bergshoeff, J Gomis, Z Yan - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract Nonrelativistic string theory in flat spacetime is described by a two-dimensional
quantum field theory with a nonrelativistic global symmetry acting on the worldsheet fields …

Strings with non-relativistic conformal symmetry and limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence

T Harmark, J Hartong, L Menculini, NA Obers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We find a Polyakov-type action for strings moving in a torsional Newton-Cartan
geometry. This is obtained by starting with the relativistic Polyakov action and fixing the …

String theory and string Newton–Cartan geometry

EA Bergshoeff, J Gomis, J Rosseel… - Journal of Physics A …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
Nonrelativistic string theory is described by a sigma model with a relativistic worldsheet and
a nonrelativistic target spacetime geometry, that is called string Newton–Cartan geometry. In …

Relating non-relativistic string theories

T Harmark, J Hartong, L Menculini, NA Obers… - Journal of High Energy …, 2019 - Springer
A bstract Non-relativistic string theories promise to provide simpler theories of quantum
gravity as well as tractable limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence. However, several …

A non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity

EA Bergshoeff, J Lahnsteiner, L Romano… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We discuss a particular non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity that can be taken at
the level of the action and equations of motion, without imposing any geometric constraints …

Open strings on AdS2 branes

P Lee, H Ooguri, J Park, J Tannenhauser - Nuclear Physics B, 2001 - Elsevier
We study the spectrum of open strings on AdS2 branes in AdS3 in an NS–NS background,
using the SL (2, R) WZW model. When the brane carries no fundamental string charge, the …
