Nonrelativistic string theory is a unitary, ultraviolet finite quantum gravity theory with a nonrelativistic string spectrum. The vertex operators of the worldsheet theory determine the spacetime geometry of nonrelativistic string theory, known as the string Newton-Cartan geometry. We compute the Weyl anomaly of the nonrelativistic string worldsheet sigma model describing strings propagating in a string Newton-Cartan geometry, Kalb-Ramond and dilaton background. We derive the equations of motion that dictate the backgrounds on which nonrelativistic string theory can be consistently defined quantum mechanically. The equations of motion we find from our study of the conformal anomaly of the worldsheet theory are to nonrelativistic string theory what the (super)gravity equations of motion are to relativistic string theory.

  1. Carrollian limit of NS-NS and Heterotic Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Ultra-relativistic expansion plus dilaton scaling produces finite covariant Carrollian NS-NS and heterotic supergravity actions, with trivializable Green-Schwarz for the 1-form and finite leading Riem^{2} α' corrections.

  2. A unified expansion of Einstein's gravity

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A unified (s,n)-parametrized expansion of the Einstein-Hilbert action yields Galilean, Carroll, Lorentzian, and string Carroll gravity, and near-horizon black hole geometries satisfy the string Carroll equations.

  3. Curvatures and Non-metricities in the Non-Relativistic Limit of Bosonic Supergravity

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A metric-only, torsionless-connection formulation with fixed non-metricities rewrites the non-relativistic limit of bosonic supergravity covariantly and matches the vielbein string Newton-Cartan action at Lagrangian level.

  4. Can Non-Relativistic Strings Propagate Without Geometric Baggage?

    hep-th 2025-06 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    The paper claims that standard Newton-Cartan geometry is sufficient for classical non-relativistic string propagation, making the auxiliary gauge fields of gauging-the-algebra constructions dynamically redundant.

  5. An Introduction to String Newton-Cartan Holography and Integrability

    hep-th 2026-03 accept novelty 3.0 of 10

    String Newton-Cartan holography, the non-relativistic limit of the AdS/CFT correspondence, is organized and reviewed around five consistency conditions, with its classical solutions, spectrum, and integrability structure.
