SUMMARY:One-dimensional solutions of M-theory - Cook\, P P (King's College
 \, London)
DTSTART:20120209T113000Z

CONTACT:Mustapha Amrani
DESCRIPTION:It has been argued that the generalised Kac-Moody algebras E11
  and E10 encode the symmetries of M-theory. One may wonder whether a conje
 cture relating two imperfectly understood constructions can be put to good
  use. This talk will be a pedagogical introduction to a technique on the K
 ac-Moody side that reconstructs well-known supergravity solutions\, albeit
  smeared down to one-dimension. The solutions emerge from a small corner o
 f E11 but the technique may be applied to a much larger sector of E11 and 
 used to propose exotic M-theory solutions.\n
