We perform canonical quantization of the open Neveu-Schwarz-Ramond (NSR) superstrings in the background of a D-brane with the NS B-field. If we choose the mixed boundary condition as a primary constraint, it generates a set of secondary…
We construct an action for four-dimensional extended string Newton-Cartan gravity which is an extension of the string Newton-Cartan gravity that underlies nonrelativistic string theory. The action can be obtained as a nonrelativistic limit…
We analyze non-relativistic string in Newton-Cartan background that was found recently in [arXiv:1705.03535 [hep-th]]. We find its Hamiltonian formulation and study structure of constraints. We also discuss a relation between string in…
We discuss a particular non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity that can be taken at the level of the action and equations of motion, without imposing any geometric constraints by hand. This relies on the fact that terms that diverge in the…
We carry out the formulation of nonrelativistic (NR) F-string theory for $ \mathcal{N}=2 $ Gaiotto-Maldacena class of geometries in type IIA supergravity. Considering the NS-NS sector, we reduce the type IIA theory into the NR sigma models…
We further develop the string $1/c^2$ expansion of closed bosonic string theory, where $c$ is the speed of light. The expansion will be performed up to and including the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We show that the next-to-leading…
We describe how the presence of the antisymmetric tensor (torsion) on the world sheet action of string theory renders the size of the target space a gauge non invariant quantity. This generalizes the R <--> 1/R symmetry in which momenta and…
We construct a metric-like formulation of the non-relativistic (NR) limit of bosonic supergravity at the Lagrangian level. This formulation is particularly useful for decomposing relativistic tensors, such as powers of the Riemann tensor,…
Non-Riemannian gravitational theories suggest alternative avenues to understand properties of quantum gravity and provide a concrete setting to study condensed matter systems with non-relativistic symmetry. Derivation of an action principle…
We study the non-relativistic Newton-Cartan limit of higher-order gravity theories in arbitrary dimensions. We first study it at the level of the action by introducing an additional 1-form gauge field and coupling it appropriately to the…
In this study, we investigate three-dimensional torsional Newton-Cartan (TNC) gravity by gauging the su$(1,2)\oplus$u$(1)$ algebra and construct its action using the Chern-Simons theory. This TNC exhibits novel features, including the fact…
We formulate a geometric framework that allows to study momentum and energy transport in non-relativistic systems. It amounts to coupling of the non-relativistic system to the Newton-Cartan geometry with torsion. The approach generalizes…
Nonrelativistic (NR) string theory was discovered as a framework that underlies and unifies the various noncommutative open string (NCOS) theories, which were originally envisioned as surprising exceptions to the maxim that all string…
We discuss the generalized Newton-Cartan geometries that can serve as gravitational background fields for particles and strings. In order to enable us to define affine connections that are invariant under all the symmetries of the structure…
We study worldvolume actions for D-branes coupled to the worldvolume U(1) gauge field and Ramond-Ramond (RR) potentials in nonrelativistic string theory. This theory is a self-contained corner of relativistic string theory and has a string…
Over the past quarter century, considerable effort has been invested in the study of nonrelativistic (NR) string theory, its U-dual NR brane theories, and their geometric foundations in (generalized) Newton-Cartan geometry. Many interesting…
We expand the relativistic open bosonic string in powers of $1/c^2$ where $c$ is the speed of light. We perform this expansion to next-to-leading order in $1/c^2$ and relate our results to known descriptions of non-relativistic open strings…
It is well known that one can take an infinite speed of light limit that gives rise to non-relativistic strings with a relativistic worldsheet sigma model but with a non-relativistic target space geometry. In this work we systematically…
We define string geometry: spaces of superstrings including the interactions, their topologies, charts, and metrics. Trajectories in asymptotic processes on a space of strings reproduce the right moduli space of the super Riemann surfaces…
String geometry theory is one of the candidates of the non-perturbative formulation of string theory. In arXiv:1709.03506, the perturbative string theory is reproduced from a string geometry model coupled with a $u(1)$ gauge field on string…
