Dual Non-Lorentzian Backgrounds for Matrix Theories
Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Niels A. Obers +1
We study properties of non-Lorentzian geometries arising from BPS decoupling limits of string theory that are central to matrix theory and the AdS/CFT correspondence. We focus on d…
Gravitational solitons and non-relativistic string theory
Troels Harmark, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Niels A. Obers
We explore the non-relativistic string theory (NRST) limit of type II string theory and its action on gravitational solitons. As a start, we exhibit in detail that the NRST limit i…
Matrix Theory Reloaded: A BPS Road to Holography
Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Niels A. Obers +1
We revisit the decoupling limits that lead to matrix theories on D-branes. We highlight the BPS nature of these limits, in which the target space geometry becomes non-Lorentzian an…
The surprising structure of non-relativistic 11-dimensional supergravity
Eric A. Bergshoeff, Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner +1
We study a non-relativistic limit of 11-dimensional supergravity. This limit leads to a theory with an underlying membrane Newton-Cartan geometry. Consistency of the non-relativist…
Unification of Decoupling Limits in String and M-theory
Chris D. A. Blair, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Niels A. Obers +1
We study and extend the duality web unifying different decoupling limits of type II superstring theories and M-theory. We systematically build connections to different corners, suc…
Non-Lorentzian IIB Supergravity from a Polynomial Realization of SL(2,R)
Eric Bergshoeff, Kevin T. Grosvenor, Johannes Lahnsteiner +2
We derive the action and symmetries of the bosonic sector of non-Lorentzian IIB supergravity by taking the non-relativistic string limit. We find that the bosonic field content is…
Branched SL(2,Z) Duality
Eric Bergshoeff, Kevin T. Grosvenor, Johannes Lahnsteiner +2
We investigate how SL(2,Z) duality is realized in nonrelativistic type IIB superstring theory, which is a self-contained corner of relativistic string theory. Within this corner, w…
The Supersymmetric Neveu-Schwarz Branes of Non-Relativistic String Theory
Eric Bergshoeff, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Luca Romano +1
We construct the basic Neveu-Schwarz (NS) brane solutions of non-relativistic string theory using longitudinal T-duality as a solution generating technique. Extending the NS backgr…
Non-Relativistic Ten-Dimensional Minimal Supergravity
E. A. Bergshoeff, J. Lahnsteiner, L. Romano +2
We construct a non-relativistic limit of ten-dimensional N=1 supergravity from the point of view of the symmetries, the action, and the equations of motion. This limit can only be…
A Non-Relativistic Limit of NS-NS Gravity
Eric Bergshoeff, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Luca Romano +2
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…
Non-Relativistic Supersymmetry on Curved Three-Manifolds
Eric Bergshoeff, Athanasios Chatzistavrakidis, Johannes Lahnsteiner +2
We construct explicit examples of non-relativistic supersymmetric field theories on curved Newton-Cartan three-manifolds. These results are obtained by performing a null reduction…
