Matrix theory reloaded: a BPS road to holography

CDA Blair, J Lahnsteiner, NA Obers, Z Yan - Journal of High Energy …, 2025 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the decoupling limits that lead to matrix theories on D-branes. We
highlight the BPS nature of these limits, in which the target space geometry becomes non …

Nonrelativistic Holography from

A Fontanella, JM Nieto García - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We show that a novel holographic correspondence appears after taking a suitable stringy
nonrelativistic limit of the AdS 5/CFT 4 duality. This correspondence relates string theory in …

Non-relativistic expansion of open strings and D-branes

J Hartong, E Have - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We expand the relativistic open bosonic string in powers of 1/c 2 where c is the
speed of light. We perform this expansion to next-to-leading order in 1/c 2 and relate our …

Reciprocal non-relativistic decoupling limits of String Theory and M-Theory

N Lambert, J Smith - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract It has recently been realised that there are supersymmetry-preserving non-
relativistic decoupling limits associated with each half-BPS object in String Theory and M …

The surprising structure of non-relativistic 11-dimensional supergravity

EA Bergshoeff, CDA Blair, J Lahnsteiner… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We study a non-relativistic limit of 11-dimensional supergravity. This limit leads to a
theory with an underlying membrane Newton-Cartan geometry. Consistency of the non …

Revisiting the symmetries of Galilean electrodynamics

A Fontanella, JMN García - arxiv preprint arxiv:2411.19217, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this letter, we revisit the symmetries of Galilean Electrodynamics (GED) in a spacetime of
generic dimension $ d+ 1$. We show that these symmetries are infinitely many, and in $ d …

Gravitational solitons and non-relativistic string theory

T Harmark, J Lahnsteiner, NA Obers - arxiv preprint arxiv:2501.10178, 2025 - arxiv.org
We explore the non-relativistic string theory (NRST) limit of type II string theory and its action
on gravitational solitons. As a start, we exhibit in detail that the NRST limit is T-dual to a …

A perturbative approach to the non-relativistic string spectrum

M de Leeuw, A Fontanella, JMN García - arxiv preprint arxiv:2403.09563, 2024 - arxiv.org
In this letter we use a perturbative approach to find the spectrum of non-relativistic strings in
the String Newton-Cartan (SNC) AdS $ _5\times $ S $^ 5$ spacetime. We perturb the …

Non-Relativistic Intersecting Branes, Newton-Cartan Geometry and AdS/CFT

N Lambert, J Smith - arxiv preprint arxiv:2405.06552, 2024 - arxiv.org
We discuss non-relativistic variants of four-dimensional ${\cal N} $= 4 super-Yang-Mills
theory obtained from generalised Newton-Cartan geometric limits of D3-branes in ten …
