The relativistic string theory is considered from the Hamiltonian point of view. It is proposed to formulate the dynamics of string in d-dimensional space-time with the help of the auxiliary spectral problem. This approach gives the possibility to construct a completely new set of variables of string relevant for Lorentz-invariant gauge fixing. The notion of smooth string is introduced for which the successive relativistic invariant quantization could be done explicitly for the d=4 case.

Abstract Nonrelativistic string theory is a self-contained corner of string theory, with its string spectrum enjoying a Galilean-invariant dispersion relation. This theory is unitary and ultraviolet complete, and can be studied from first principles. In these notes, we focus on the bosonic closed string sector. In curved spacetime, nonrelativistic string theory is defined by a renormalizable quantum nonlinear sigma model in background fields, following certain symmetry principles that disallow any deformation towards relativistic string theory. We review previous proposals of such symmetry principles and propose a modified version that might be useful for supersymmetrizations. The appropriate target-space geometry determined by these local spacetime symmetries is string Newton-Cartan geometry. This geometry is equipped with a two-dimensional foliation structure that is restricted by torsional constraints. Breaking the symmetries that give rise to such torsional constraints in the target space will in general generate quantum corrections to a marginal deformation in the worldsheet quantum field theory. Such a deformation induces a renormalization group flow towards sigma models that describe relativistic strings.

The radiative transitions of light mesons are considered in the relativistic string model. The predictions for the decay rates of the light I=1 mesons and K mesons are presented.

Abstract We explore the notion of isometries in non-Riemannian geometries. Such geometries include and generalise the backgrounds of non-relativistic string theory, and they can be naturally described using the formalism of double field theory. Adopting this approach, we first solve the corresponding Killing equations for constant flat non-Riemannian backgrounds and show that they admit an infinite-dimensional algebra of isometries which includes a particular type of supertranslations. These symmetries correspond to known worldsheet Noether symmetries of the Gomis-Ooguri non-relativistic string, which we now interpret as isometries of its non-Riemannian doubled background. We further consider the extension to supersymmetric double field theory and show that the corresponding Killing spinors can depend arbitrarily on the non-Riemannian directions, leading to “supersupersymmetries” that square to supertranslations.

The manifest covariance condition of Currie and Hill for a relativistic Lagrangian N-particle theory is generalized for a Lagrangian relativistic string theory. The corresponding Currie–Hill equations are derived. We can analyze the emerging problem only in a particular case, and we obtain only a trivial solution for the Lagrangian. This seems to indicate that a non-constrained Lagrangian formalism is not very suitable for the description of a relativistic string.
