abstract
We construct a Galilean invariant non-gravitational closed string theory whose excitations satisfy a non-relativistic dispersion relation. This theory can be obtained by taking a consistent low energy limit of any of the conventional string theories, including the heterotic string. We give a finite first order worldsheet Hamiltonian for this theory and show that this string theory has a sensible perturbative expansion, interesting high energy behavior of scattering amplitudes and a Hagedorn transition of the thermal ensemble. The strong coupling duals of the Galilean superstring theories are considered and are shown to be described by an eleven-dimensional Galilean invariant theory of light membrane fluctuations. A new class of Galilean invariant non-gravitational theories of light-brane excitations are obtained. We exhibit dual formulations of the strong coupling limits of these Galilean invariant theories and show that they exhibit many of the conventional dualities of M theory in a non-relativistic setting.

Uni-vector deformations in Type IIA map D0 backgrounds to themselves and generate F1-D0 and D2-D0 bound states while relating to DLCQ of M-theory.
The one-loop partition function of the Galilean-de Sitter boundary theory is Z(β) = (2/πβ²) exp(4π²c₀/β), whose β⁻² prefactor matches the four generators of the EdS-G algebra; the matching bulk is a Newton-Cartan geometry satisfying a non-relativistic JT action.
