The tensionless limit of classical string theory may be formulated as a topological theory on the world-sheet. A vector density carries geometrical information in place of an internal metric. It is found that path-integral quantization allows for the definition of several, possibly inequivalent quantum theories. String amplitudes are constructed from vector densities with zeroes for each in- or out-going string. It is shown that independence of a metric in quantum mechanical amplitudes implies that the dependence on such vector density zeroes is purely topological. For example, there is no need for integration over their world-sheet positions.

Null Strings Gauged and Reloaded, I: Null Strings Have Carroll-Weyl Gauge Symmetry
Null strings admit two Carroll-Weyl gauge scalings; the standard ILST action arises by fixing one of them, with the residual symmetry matching an overlooked partial gauge symmetry identified in prior work.

Quantum Anomalies of Tensionless Bosonic Strings
A unified BRST analysis shows the flipped-vacuum anomaly fixes D=26 for the ILST null string, leaves a λ-family of critical dimensions for the hybrid string, and rules out the conformal and Carroll-Weyl strings.

Null Strings Gauged and Reloaded, II: Consistent Classical Treatment of the Null Strings
Null strings exhibit an independent Carroll-Weyl gauge symmetry that necessitates an extended BMS₃ algebra of constraints.
