Focus Week

Supergravity, the next 10 years

Sep 07, 2016 - Sep 09, 2016

Abstract

This is a kick-off conference for the workshop "Supergravity: what next?". The important objectives for supergravity research in the next years will be discussed. This conference is expected to prompt a first exchange of ideas and to promote an energetic start of activities of the workshop.

Topics

Cosmological applications to inflationary scenarios in relation with new observational data.
Exceptional structures of supergravity, exotic branes, and non-geometric fluxes.
Extensions of presently-known supergravities, including higher-derivative, or Dirac--Born--Infeld actions.
Quantum supergravity, including the conclusions to be drawn from surprising finiteness results.
Solutions of supergravity equations, including black holes and domain walls and implications for gauge-gravity dualities.
Mathematical aspects of supergravity, including hidden symmetries and dualities.

This event is co-organized by COST-MP1210 "The String Theory Universe"
