会議名: Algebraic classification of M-theory orbifolds

講演者: Dr. Maxime Bagnoud  (京都大学大学院 理学研究科)
講演言語: 英語
アブストラクト: In this talk, a new method of treating orbifolds by expressing the orbifold action on the physical fields of the theory in a purely algebraic manner will be presented. Doing so, a description of the untwisted sector as an invariant subalgebra of the U-duality symmetry algebra of M-theory can be obtained, as well as a description of charged states as a nilpotent subalgebra of an Iwasawa decomposition related to a certain Satake diagram of the U-duality symmetry algebra. A description of the twisted sector as an invariant subalgebra under some algebra automorphism can also be given. A few simple examples will be treated in detail, as well as results for more physically realistic cases.
