SUMMARY:&quot\;Too beautiful to be false&quot\; - Professor Michael Green

DESCRIPTION:Dirac frequently reiterated his view that physical theories sh
 ould be associated with “beautiful” mathematics.  This talk\, which is
  aimed at non-experts\,  aims to illustrate this viewpoint in the context 
 of modern developments in quantum field theory\,  general relativity and s
 tring theory.  The talk will stress\, in particular\,  the role played by 
 dualities -  relationships between two descriptions of the same physical o
 r mathematical system -  starting from the electric/magnetic duality of Ma
 xwell’s theory and including the holographic duality that relates gravit
 ational and condensed matter systems.
