Abstract: We further develop the string 1/c2 expansion of closed bosonic string theory, where c is the speed of light. The expansion will be performed up to and including the next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO). We show that the next-to-leading order (NLO) theory is equal to the Gomis--Ooguri string, generalised to a curved target space, provided the target space geometry admits a certain class of co-dimension-2 foliations. We compute the energy of the string up to NNLO for a flat target space with a circle that must be wound by the string, and we show that it agrees with the 1/c2 expansion of the relativistic energy. We also compute the algebra of Noether charges for a flat target space and show that this matches order-by-order with an appropriate expansion of the Poincar'e algebra, which at NLO gives the string Bargmann algebra. Finally, we expand the phase space action, which allows us to perform the Dirac procedure and pass to the quantum theory. It turns out that the Poisson brackets change at each order, and we show that the normal ordering constant of the relativistic theory, which does not depend on c, can be reproduced by the NLO and NNLO theories.
