[phys4phys] Group for Gravitation, Particles and Fields seminar, Wednesday, 29 January 2025

[prlina]

Dear colleagues,

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.
