Null strings exhibit an independent Carroll-Weyl gauge symmetry that necessitates an extended BMS₃ algebra of constraints.
The paper classifies families of closed bosonic string solutions in the near-horizon non-extremal BTZ spacetime and identifies novel features via string-Carroll expansion.
Develops worldsheet sigma model for fundamental strings in critical type IIA limit showing nodal singularities and derives T-duality web unifying decoupling limits including ambitwistor and Carrollian strings.
The bosonic ambitwistor string spectrum is confined to the massless sector and contains the dilaton, metric, Kalb-Ramond field plus an extra vector, but is non-unitary.
A square-root T-bar-T deformation of 2D scalar fields carries the theory from relativistic conformal to Carrollian conformal, producing a new nonlinear 'magnetic' Carroll action at one end of the flow.
