Non-relativistic string theories promise to provide simpler theories of quantum gravity as well as tractable limits of the AdS/CFT correspondence. However, several apparently distinct non-relativistic string theories have been constructed. In particular, one approach is to reduce a relativistic string along a null isometry in target space. Another method is to perform an appropriate large speed of light expansion of a relativistic string. Both of the resulting non-relativistic string theories only have a well-defined spectrum if they have nonzero winding along a longitudinal spatial direction. In the presence of a Kalb--Ramond field, we show that these theories are equivalent provided the latter direction is an isometry. Finally, we consider a further limit of non-relativistic string theory that has proven useful in the context of AdS/CFT (related to Spin Matrix Theory). In that case, the worldsheet theory itself becomes non-relativistic and the dilaton coupling vanishes.

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors build a heterotic nonrelativistic string sigma model, show it defines heterotic string theory in DLCQ via T-duality, and recover the relativistic heterotic string through a current-current deformation.

  2. Non-relativistic quantum strings from gauged WZW models

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A chiral null gauging of Nappi-Witten WZW models yields a closed string with a Gomis-Ooguri-like spectrum, but with different left- and right-moving sectors.

  3. 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.

  4. p-brane Newton--Cartan Geometry

    hep-th 2019-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    A p-brane Newton-Cartan structure admits a torsion-free compatible affine connection exactly when it is Augustinian, and all such connections are classified by longitudinal-frame field strengths.

    hep-th 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Standard AdS/CFT duality is reinterpreted as D-brane/black-brane duality in nonrelativistic D3-brane theory, with AdS5×S5 as a relativistic bubble in flat 3-Newton-Cartan geometry.

  6. Non-relativistic Strings: Classical solutions and exactly solvable models

    hep-th 2025-04 reject novelty 4.0 of 10

    Non-relativistic strings on R x S2 admit spinning and pulsating solutions whose leading and next-to-leading order dynamics are cast as Neumann-Rosochatius-like solvable models with Bohr-Sommerfeld energy spectra.

  7. 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.
