Description
I will discuss recent progress on a framework that unifies BPS decoupling limits in string theory and M-theory, which gives a new perspective on AdS/CFT and matrix theories. This perspective naturally involves non-Lorentzian geometries. I will show how this framework implies generalizations of AdS/CFT, as well as a correspondence between finite-N matrix theory and non-Lorentzian supergravity.
