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 …

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 …

Half-BPS Wilson loop and AdS2/CFT1

S Giombi, R Roiban, AA Tseytlin - Nuclear Physics B, 2017 - Elsevier
We study correlation functions of local operator insertions on the 1/2-BPS Wilson line in N= 4
super Yang–Mills theory. These correlation functions are constrained by the 1d …

Correspondence between Asymptotically Flat Spacetimes and Nonrelativistic<? format?> Conformal Field Theories

A Bagchi - Physical review letters, 2010 - APS
We find a surprising connection between asymptotically flat spacetimes and nonrelativistic
conformal systems in one lower dimension. The Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) group is the …

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 …

Galilean conformal algebras and AdS/CFT

A Bagchi, R Gopakumar - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2009 - iopscience.iop.org
Non-relativistic versions of the AdS/CFT conjecture have recently been investigated in some
detail. These have primarily been in the context of the Schrodinger symmetry group. Here …
