40m

Main Auditorium (DESY Hamburg)

Plenary Session Tuesday

Speaker

I. Saberi (LMU Munich)

Description

I will give a bird's-eye view of some recent developments connected to twists of supergravity theories and to the twisted holography program, trying to highlight structural features that I have found both interesting and fruitful. The focus will be on examples related to M-theory.
