Description

Starting with the decoupling limits zooming on D-branes in string theory, whose near-BPS dynamics is captured by different matrix theories, I will focus on the associated string worldsheet dynamics and its connection to ambitwistor string theory in the chiral sector. I will argue how the dynamics of the target space supergravity theories, which are typically non-Lorentzian in the low-N regime, can arise from the string worldsheet theory.
