We show that a novel holographic correspondence appears after taking a suitable stringy non-relativistic limit of the AdS$_5$/CFT$_4$ duality. This correspondence relates string theory in String Newton-Cartan AdS$_5\times$S$^5$ with…
We argue that vacua of string theory which asymptote at weak coupling to linear dilaton backgrounds are holographic. The full string theory in such vacua is ``dual'' to a theory without gravity in fewer dimensions. The dual theory is…
