abstract
Consequences of a strong version of the AdS/CFT correspondence for extremely stringy physics are examined. In particular, properties of N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory are used to extract results about interacting tensionless strings and massless higher spin fields in an AdS_5 x S^5 background. Furthermore, the thermodynamics of this model signals the presence of a Hawking-Page phase transition between AdS_5 space and a "black hole"-like high temperature configuration even in the extreme string limit.

High-energy string amplitudes have asymptotic expansions governed by Bernoulli numbers, upgraded via resurgence to transseries whose Stokes data encode non-perturbative monodromy between kinematic regions.
Derives metric-like cubic vertices for massless bosonic higher-spin fields in AdS3 from flat-space ones via gauge invariance.
Null bosonic string quantization on Carrollian worldsheets requires an extra scalar ghost pair for Carroll-Weyl scaling, yielding a bcs system that alters the BRST complex and anomaly cancellation beyond the standard BMS bc treatment.
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.
