We suggest a means of obtaining certain Green's functions in 3+1-dimensional ${\cal N} = 4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory with a large number of colors via non-critical string theory. The non-critical string theory is related to critical…

We assume that QCD can be effectively described with string-like variables. The hadronic string is built over the chirally non-invariant QCD vacuum by means of the boundary interaction with background chiral fields associated with pions. By…

A $D>2$ topological string is presented by coupling the $2d$ topological gravity with the twisted version of the $N=2$ superconformal matter with $c=3k/(k-2)$. The latter is shown to admit $k+1$ chiral primary fields from the…

String field theory for the non-critical NSR string is described. In particular it gives string field theory for the 2D super-gravity coupled to a $\hat{c}=1$ matter field. For this purpose double-step pictures changing operators for the…

We argue that generic non-relativistic quantum field theories have a holographic description in terms of Horava gravity. We construct explicit examples of this duality embedded in string theory by starting with relativistic dual pairs and…

We extend earlier ideas about the appearance of noncommutative geometry in string theory with a nonzero B-field. We identify a limit in which the entire string dynamics is described by a minimally coupled (supersymmetric) gauge theory on a…

In this paper, we studied the relationship between celestial holography and chiral strings. Chiral strings differ from the usual string theory by a change of boundary conditions on the string propagators. It is shown that chiral strings…

A new set of boundary conditions for string propagators is proposed in this paper. The boundary conditions are parametrized by a complex number $\lambda$. Under these new boundary conditions, the left-moving and right-moving modes are…

We perform canonical analysis of non-relativistic string theory with non-relativistic world-sheet gravity. We determine structure of constraints and symplectic structure of canonical variables.

In this work we consider heterotic-gravity as the low-energy approximation to heterotic string theory. We define a consistent non-relativistic limit of heterotic gravity that includes the Yang-Mills Chern-Simons term. We perform three tests…

In the paper the nilpotent conditions of BRST operator for new superconformal string model were found. This string includes anticommutation $2-d$ fields additional to the standard Neveu-Schwarz superconformal set which carry quark quantum…

I review some aspects of non-critical strings in connection with Lorentz-Invariance violating approaches to quantum gravity. I also argue how non-critical strings may provide a unifying framework where string Cosmology and quantum gravity…

Compactifying the $E_8$ non-critical string in 6D down to 5D the 6D strings give rise to particles and strings in 5D. Using the dual M-theory description compactified on an elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau we compare some of the 5D BPS…

New loop equations for all genera in $c = \frac{1}{2}$ non-critical string theory are constructed. Our loop equations include two types of loops, loops with all Ising spins up (+ loops) and those with all spins down ( $-$ loops). The loop…

The observable parameters of the electron indicate unambiguously that its gravitational background should be the Kerr-Newman solution without horizons. This background is not flat and has a non-trivial topology created by the Kerr singular…

This is an introduction to the microscopic techniques of non-rational bulk and boundary conformal field theory which are needed to describe strings moving in non-compact curved backgrounds. The latter arise e.g. in the context of…

In an on-shell conformal field theory approach, we find indications of a three-bracket structure for target space coordinates in general closed string backgrounds. This generalizes the appearance of noncommutative gauge theories for open…

String Newton-Cartan holography is a new example of gauge/gravity duality relating non-relativistic string theory and gauge theories. We review how to construct a family of string and $p$-brane Newton-Cartan holographic dualities by…

We show that all important features of 2d gravity coupled to $c<1$ matter can be easily understood from the canonical quantization approach a la Dirac. Furthermore, we construct a canonical transformation which maps the theory into a…
