We show how Newton-Cartan geometry can be generalized to String Newton-Cartan geometry which is the geometry underlying non-relativistic string theory. Several salient properties of non-relativistic string theory in this geometric background are presented and a discussion of possible research for the future is outlined.

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.
