We discuss the notion of tensionless limit in quantum bosonic string theory, especially in flat Minkowski space, noncompact group manifolds (e.g., SL(2,R)) and coset manifolds (e.g., AdS). We show that in curved space typically there exists a critical value of the tension which is related to the critical value of the level of the corresponding affine algebra. We argue that at the critical level the sring theory becomes tensionless and that there exists a huge new symmetry of the theory. We dicuss the appearence of the higher spin massless states at the critical level.

Boundary Carroll CFTs: SUSY and Superstrings
Two boundary superconformal Carroll algebras are constructed, and the homogeneous one is shown to be the worldsheet symmetry algebra of a newly constructed open null superstring.
