A non-Lorentzian View of the M5-brane

by Prof. Neil Lambert (King's College London)

Friday 29 Mar 2024, 17:00 → 18:30 Asia/Shanghai

In this talk we will discuss a path-integral formulation of the M5-brane (2,0) theory based upon a Lagrangian without Lorentz invariance but a novel SU(1,3) spacetime symmetry. This provides a UV complete five-dimensional field theoretic description  that we will argue can admit  a six-dimensional Lorentz invariance.

Biography:
Neil got his PhD in Cambridge under the supervision of Paul Townsend. Following this he held postdoctoral positions in King’s College London, Paris ENS and Rutgers. He then became a lecturer at King’s College London and was also a staff physicist at CERN. He is currently a Professor of Theoretical Physics at King’s College London.
