QuantumGeometryandNon-GeometricBackgrounds

Exceptional Seminar Richard au:Szabo'><span class='hl'>Richard</span> Szabo (Heriot-Watt U.)

 at: 13:00 ICroom H503 abstract: Recent advances in non-geometric string theory suggest that locally non-geometric flux compactifications can be understood in terms of nonassociative deformations of spacetime geometry. We will review some of these developments and how they shed light on properties of non-geometric strings, and explain some new results concerning how these structures lift to non-geometric M-theory.

QuantumGravityandSignaturesofnoncommutativespacetime

Regular Seminar Richard au:Szabo'><span class='hl'>Richard</span> Szabo (Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh )

 at: 15:00 City U.room D111 abstract: A pedagogical introduction into the ideas, propects and successes of spacetime quantization will be presented, with emphasis on what it tells us about hte problems of quantizing gravity and renormalizing quantum field theory.
