THE SEMINAR

THEORY OF DUALITY

DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICAL METHODS IN PHYSICS



On the 16th of April 2015, at 10:15 a.m.

Neil Lambert (King's College, London and Visiting Professor at WFUW)

will give a talk on

"M-branes"

Abstract
I will give an overview of the branes in M-theory and their associated quantum field theories. These include M2-branes, leading to 3D Chern-Simons Matter theories (BLG, ABJM), as well as M5-branes leading to 6D CFT's which remain very mysterious and challenging.

The seminar takes place on Thursdays from 10:15 a.m. to 12:00 in the room 2.23 of the main building of the Faculty of Physics (the 2nd floor), Pasteur Str. 5, Warszawa.
