Gauge Theories from the 11th Dimension

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Ruize Li .

String and M-Theory provides a remarkable framework in which both particle physics and gravity appear in quantum mechanical and mathematically consistent way, albeit  in ten and eleven dimensions respectively. Although they don’t currently lead to compelling experimental predictions they do have rich implications for Mathematics and Physics in a variety of other settings. In this talk I will discuss what motivates String Theory and  M-theory, the role of extended objects known as branes,  and how this leads to novel, non-gravitational, quantum theories in three and six dimensions.
