Abstract

We study and extend the duality web unifying different decoupling limits of type II superstring theories and M theory. We systematically build connections to different corners, such as matrix theories, nonrelativistic string and M theory, tensionless (and ambitwistor) string theory, Carrollian string theory, and spin matrix limits of AdS/CFT. We discuss target space, world sheet, and worldvolume aspects of these limits in arbitrary curved backgrounds.
