Nonrelativistic giant magnons from Newton Cartan strings

Abstract We show nonrelativistic (NR) giant magnon dispersion relations by probing the torsional Newton Cartan (TNC) geometry with (semi)classical nonrelativistic rigidly rotating strings.

Description
Summary:Abstract We show nonrelativistic (NR) giant magnon dispersion relations by probing the torsional Newton Cartan (TNC) geometry with (semi)classical nonrelativistic rigidly rotating strings. We construct NR sigma models over R × S 2 and consider two specific limiting cases those are of particular interest. Both of these limiting conditions give rise to what we identify as the small momentum limit of the giant magnon dispersion relation in the dual SMT at strong coupling. We further generalize our results in the presence of background NS-NS fluxes. Our analysis reveals that unlike its relativistic counterpart, the NR string theory lacks of single spike solutions.
