Massive supermembrane, Romans Supergravity and the type IIA massive superstring
Specialist level
Speaker:
Maria Pilar García del Moral
Institution:
Universidad de La Rioja
Location&Place:
IFT Seminar Room/Red Room
Abstract:
After the usual paper discussion, we will have a talk by our guest Prof. Maria Pilar García del Moral from Universidad de La Rioja, titled 'Massive supermembrane, Romans Supergravity and the type IIA massive superstring.'
Abstract: During a long time it has been a puzzle the M-theory origin of Romans supergravity. It was even speculated the possibility that the type IIA massive string could not be strongly coupled. In this talk I will show that the origin is related to a class of supermembranes that we denote as massive supermembranes.
By performing a double dimension we obtain the worldsheet description of the 'massive' N=2 type IIA superstring associated. I will discuss about their properties and their connection with Romans supergravity.
