Symmetry theories and string theory

abstract:

M-theory on spaces with codimension 11-d singularities gives rise to a rich class of d-dimensional field theories. I will discuss how (d+1)-dimensional topological field theories (TFTs) encode the higher symmetries and anomalies of these d-dimensional theories, and how these TFTs can be extracted from the geometry of the singular space. I will illustrate the discussion by analysing some simple examples explicitly. [for zoom link please contact jung-wook(dot)kim(at)qmul(dot)ac(dot)uk]
