Higgs Centre colloquium
Infinite algebra extensions of space-time symmetry algebras
- Event time: 1:00pm until 2:00pm
- Event date: 7th October 2022
- Speaker: Joaquim Gomis (University of Barcelona)
- Location: Higgs Centre Seminar Room, Room 4305, James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB) (James Clerk Maxwell Building (JCMB)) James Clerk Maxwell Building Peter Guthrie Tait Road Edinburgh EH9 3FD GB
Event details
We introduce the concept of kinematical algebras and their associated homogeneous spaces where our physical theories live. Some of these algebras are related via Lie algebra contraction. We develop a framework that captures systematically the corrections to the contraction procedure, for example the non-relativistic corrections of order v/c, by introducing new infinite-dimensional kinematical algebras. We consider different realizations of these algebras.
Speaker will be presenting live from the Higgs Centre seminar room.
