Tomorrow's seminars
Tomorrow morning seminar at the Université Libre de Bruxelles is
An E_9 multiplet of BPS states by Laurent Houart (ULB)
"In the quest for a formulation of M-theory, the existence of E11 and E10 hidden symmetries could possibly play an important role. Here we will assume the existence of this E11 algebraic structure and explore some of its consequences. We will construct an infinite multiplet of BPS states for 11D supergravity. All these solutions are related by U-dualities realised via E9 Weyl transformations in the regular embedding E9 in E10, E10 in E11. The way the solutions are constructed is giving a hint on the meaning of this symmetry through the existence of a dual formalism. We finally comment on the significance of theses results beyond the realm of BPS solutions."
Cool. Ever since getting a few lectures on Lie groups last year I've been fascinated by them. I remember my advisor commenting jokingly on "Brout, Englert and other tough guys at the ULB who handel groups like E_9, or bigger.". Should be intersting then.
