abstract

Taking $\mathbf{O}(D,D)$ covariant field variables as its truly fundamental constituents, Double Field Theory can accommodate not only conventional supergravity but also non-Riemannian gravities that may be classified by two non-negative integers, $(n,\bar{n})$. Such non-Riemannian backgrounds render a propagating string chiral and anti-chiral over $n$ and $\bar{n}$ dimensions respectively. Examples include, but are not limited to, Newton--Cartan, Carroll, or Gomis--Ooguri. Here we analyze the variational principle with care for a generic $(n,\bar{n})$ non-Riemannian sector. We recognize a nontrivial subtlety for ${n\bar{n}\neq 0}$ that infinitesimal variations generically include those which change $(n,\bar{n})$. This seems to suggest that the various non-Riemannian gravities should better be identified as different solution sectors of Double Field Theory rather than viewed as independent theories. Separate verification of our results as string worldsheet beta-functions may enlarge the scope of the string landscape far beyond Riemann.

  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. 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.

  3. The non-relativistic limit of HSZ Theory

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The non-relativistic limit of HSZ theory produces non-removable metric and b-field transformation corrections, and a finite four-derivative action requires field redefinitions before the limit.

  4. Traversable wormhole for string, but not for particle

    hep-th 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A two-parameter NS-NS wormhole background admits chiral string solutions that cross the singular boundary surfaces that particles and ordinary strings cannot.
