Completing earlier work on three-dimensional (3D) N = 1 supergravity with curvature-squared terms, we construct the general supergravity extension of 'cosmological' massive gravity theories. In particular, we show that all adS vacua of 'new massive gravity' (NMG) correspond to supersymmetric adS vacua of a 'super-NMG' theory that is perturbatively unitary whenever the corresponding NMG theory is perturbatively unitary.

A non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity

E. A. Bergshoeff, J. Lahnsteiner, L. Romano, J. Rosseel, C. Simsek

Summary: The discussion focuses on a specific non-relativistic limit of NS-NS gravity that can be achieved at the level of the action and equations of motion without imposing any geometric constraints manually. The cancellation of divergences between terms that arise from the Vielbein in the Einstein-Hilbert term and from the kinetic term of the Kalb-Ramond two-form field is key to this limit. This leads to the emergence of a local target space scale invariance in the limit, resulting in an extra equation in the equations of motion compared to the action limit. The geometric constraints that can be solved by scale-invariant constraints define a Dilatation invariant String Newton-Cartan geometry.

Non-relativistic ten-dimensional minimal supergravity

E. A. Bergshoeff, J. Lahnsteiner, L. Romano, J. Rosseel, C. Simsek

Summary: We constructed a non-relativistic limit of ten-dimensional N = 1 supergravity by imposing geometric constraints that define a 'self-dual' Dilatation-invariant String Newton-Cartan geometry. The non-relativistic action exhibits three emerging symmetries: one local scale symmetry and two local conformal supersymmetries. Due to these emerging symmetries, certain equations were obtained through supersymmetry variation rather than direct variation of the non-relativistic action.

Minimal Massive Supergravity

Nihat Sadik Deger, Marc Geiller, Jan Rosseel, Henning Samtleben

Summary: The minimal massive gravity model in three dimensions propagates a single massive spin-2 mode around an anti-de Sitter vacuum, allowing for vacua with positive central charges and a bulk graviton of positive energy. Surprisingly, all vacua complying with bulk and boundary unitarity appear to break supersymmetry spontaneously in the supersymmetric extension of the model.

The supersymmetric Neveu-Schwarz branes of non-relativistic string theory

E. A. Bergshoeff, J. Lahnsteiner, L. Romano, J. Rosseel

Summary: We construct the basic Neveu-Schwarz (NS) brane solutions of non-relativistic string theory using longitudinal T-duality as a solution generating technique. By extending the NS background fields to a supergravity multiplet, we confirm that all solutions found are half-supersymmetric. These solutions can be interpreted as the background geometry outside a string-like object, with the winding string being part of the on-shell spectrum and the unwound string only making sense off-shell.

Generalized Newton-Cartan geometries for particles and strings

E. A. Bergshoeff, K. van Helden, J. Lahnsteiner, L. Romano, J. Rosseel

Summary: We discuss the generalized Newton-Cartan geometries as gravitational background fields for particles and strings, introducing torsionful geometries with independent torsion tensors to define affine connections invariant under all symmetries of the structure group. We find that some of the torsion tensors are intrinsic torsion tensors, and setting certain components to zero leads to geometry constraints. By considering constraints consistent with the structure group symmetries, we reproduce several previously known results.

Non-relativistic Limits of General Relativity

Eric Bergshoeff, Johannes Lahnsteiner, Luca Romano, Jan Rosseel, Ceyda Simsek

Summary: In this article, the non-relativistic limits of general relativity are discussed, focusing on a special finely tuned limit inspired by string theory. This limit involves adding the kinetic term of a one-form gauge field to the Einstein-Hilbert action, resulting in a finite invariant non-relativistic gravity action. This action allows for an underlying torsional Newton-Cartan geometry, but lacks the Poisson equation for the Newton potential. Extensions to include this equation are mentioned for further research.
