Integrabilty and STU supergravity
๐Ÿ“ London
Axel Kleinschmidt (AEI Potsdam)
Venue: KCL ยท Room: S -1.04 ยท Time: 13:15 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
I will review the known integrable structures of (super-)gravity in the presence of a sufficient number of Killing vectors and how they can be used to generate new solutions. The associated inverse scattering techniques have been widely applied to four-dimensional Einstein gravity, starting with the work of Belinski and Zakharov, but their generalisation to other gravity systems poses some problems. I will discuss progress for the case of STU supergravity by exploiting the underlying group theory.

Exact results for 5D Yang-Mills theory on toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds
Maxim Zabzine (Uppsala)
Venue: IC ยท Room: H503 ยท Time: 14:00 ยท Type: Regular Seminar
Abstract:
I will review the localisation of 5D supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on the toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. As main examples, the case of sphere and Y^{p,q} spaces will be considered. The large N-limit and factorisation properties of exact partition function will discussed.
