I explore decoupling limits that lead to matrix theories on D-branes, focusing on their BPS nature and the emergence of non-Lorentzian target space geometries. In these limits, D-branes experience instantaneous gravitational forces, and when applied to curved geometries, it is shown that a single decoupling limit leads to the AdS/CFT correspondence. By applying two such limits, we generate new...
In recent years there has been a growing interest in various non-Lorentzian limits of String and M-theory. In this talk I will outline my work with Joe Smith on novel non-Lorentzian field theories obtained from limits of branes. The dynamics of these theories typically reduce to motion on a moduli space. We also discuss the limits of their associated gravitational solutions which lead to new...
