[institut] REMINDER: Group for Gravitation, Particles and Fields seminar, Wednesday, 29 January 2025

[prlina]

Dear colleagues,

We kindly remind you that you are cordially invited to the seminar of 
the Group for Gravitation, Particles and Fields, which will be held on 
Wednesday, 29 January 2025, at 13:00 at the University of Belgrade 
Faculty of Physics, lecture hall 665. Please note that the seminar 
location and time are different than usual.

The talk entitled:

Higher form symmetries of the M2-brane

will be given by María Del Pilar García Del Moral Zabala (Science and 
Technology Faculty Universidad de La Rioja, Spain).

Abstract: In this talk I will describe the existence of invertible 
Higher form symmetries on the M2-brane. I will explain the cancellation 
of the 't Hooft anomaly and how in the cases of compactified spaces this 
is related to the existence of a 1-Gerbe structure over the M2-brane 
that when projected on the spatial part of the worldvolume represents a 
flux condition. Interestingly, the major part of the sectors of the 
M2-brane that have  been found with good quantum properties are 
associated to the imposition of a worldvolume flux condition. I will 
also comment briefly on the extension of these symmetries to the 
non-invertible case.
