On N=1 supersymmetric boundary bootstrap

Informal Seminar Gabor Toth (KCL)

at:
15:15 KCL
room 423
abstract:

The general subject is factorized scattering theory for massive integrable field theories in 1+1 dimensions. The talk will be about boundary supersymmetry, about a construction of supersymmetric scattering and reflection matrices from non-supersymmetric ones, and about the application of the construction to specific models (boundary sine-Gordon model, boundary affine Toda theories) perhaps.

Kac-Moody Symmetries of (Super)Gravity Theories

Exceptional Seminar Igor Schnakenburg (Hebrew University)

at:
15:15 KCL
room 423
abstract:

A self-contained introduction to the idea of identifying Kac-Moody type symmetries in all known gravity theories.

Localization of gravity in string theory

Regular Seminar Pierre Vanhove (SPhT Saclay)

at:
13:15 KCL
room 423
abstract:

We will present a string scenario for localization of gravity in four dimensions. We will discuss the field theory model, proposed by Dvali Gabadadze and Porrati and details its problems and their resolutions. We will explain that this model presents issues well posed in string theory and address their resolution in this context.

B-type branes in Landau-Ginzburg models

Journal Club Ilka Brunner (KCL)

at:
15:15 KCL
room 423
abstract:

There is a proposal by Kontsevich how these branes should be described. He didn't write it up, but it has been reviewed in the paper math.AG/0302304, by D.Orlov. Some relations to physics are scattered around, there is a series of papers by Kapustin and Li, I have written a paper with Herbst, Lerche, Scheuner. The latest physics papers are the two recent papers Diaconescu etal hep-th/0401135, which is I think very interesting, and Hori, hep-th/0401139.
