Introduction to Supergravity

Time:2022.3.14~6.3(Wed./Fri. )13:30-15:05

Venue:近春西楼第三会议室 Conference Room 3 & Zoom Meeting ID: 388 528 9728 PW: BIMSA

Organizer:I. Papadimitriou(BIMSA)

Speaker:I. Papadimitriou(BIMSA)

Description:


After a brief introduction to differential geometry and global supersymmetry, we will study minimal and extended supergravities in diverse dimensions. The course will be oriented towards applications of supergravities as backgrounds for supersymmetric quantum field theories, as well as in the AdS/CFT correspondence.

      An introduction to height theory

      IntroductionThe notion of height was invented by André Weil to prove the famous Mordell's conjecture (if A is an abelian variety defined over a number field K, then A(K) is a finitely generated abelian group). In this class, we will study some properties of the logarithmic, absolute Weil height. We will also discuss about open problems related to this useful tool. At the end, we will construct ...
