Superbranes and superembeddings

D Sorokin - Physics Reports, 2000 - Elsevier
We review a geometrical approach to the description of the dynamics of superparticles,
superstrings and, in general, of super-p-branes, Dirichlet branes and the M5-brane, which is …

Partition functions of the tensionless string

L Eberhardt - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We consider string theory on AdS 3× S 3× 𝕋 4 in the tensionless limit, with one unit
of NS-NS flux. This theory is conjectured to describe the symmetric product orbifold CFT. We …

Boosting to BMS

A Bagchi, A Banerjee, H Muraki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Bondi-Metzner-Sachs (BMS) symmetries, or equivalently Conformal Carroll
symmetries, are intrinsically associated to null manifolds and in two dimensions can be …

On higher spins and the tensionless limit of string theory

A Sagnotti, M Tsulaia - Nuclear Physics B, 2004 - Elsevier
We discuss string spectra in the low-tension limit using the BRST formalism, with emphasis
on the role of triplets of totally symmetric tensors and spinor-tensors and their …

Unitarity and low energy expansion of the Coon amplitude

F Figueroa, P Tourkine - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
The Coon amplitude is a deformation of the Veneziano amplitude with logarithmic Regge
trajectories and an accumulation point in the spectrum, which interpolates between string …

Tensionless strings from worldsheet symmetries

A Bagchi, S Chakrabortty, P Parekh - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the construction of the tensionless limit of closed bosonic string theory in
the covariant formulation in the light of Galilean conformal symmetry that rises as the …

On the null origin of the ambitwistor string

E Casali, P Tourkine - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2016 - Springer
A bstract In this paper we present the null string origin of the ambitwistor string. Classically,
the null string is the tensionless limit of string theory, and so too is the ambitwistor string …

Classical and quantized tensionless strings

J Isberg, U Lindström, B Sundborg, G Theodoridis - Nuclear Physics B, 1994 - Elsevier
From the ordinary tensile string we derive a geometric action for the tensionless (T= 0) string
and discuss its symmetries and field equations. The Weyl symmetry of the usual string is …

On the tensionless limit of string theory, off-shell higher spin interaction vertices and BCFW recursion relations

A Fotopoulos, M Tsulaia - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2010 - Springer
We construct an off-shell extension of cubic interaction vertices between massless bosonic
Higher Spin fields on a flat background which can be obtained from perturbative bosonic …
