Date Apr 12, 2024, 11:00 am – 12:00 pm Location Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom Share on X Share on Facebook Share on LinkedIn Details Event Description The Miura transformation is a powerful formalism to construct generators of vertex operator algebras in free field representation. In this talk, I will explain that Miura operators are R-matrices of a certain quantum algebra, and comment on physical implications. I will also describe how to derive this picture from the study of intersecting branes in (twisted) M-theory, compactified on a torus. Based on joint work with Saebyeok Jeong.https://theias.zoom.us/j/84232389159?pwd=UAWukoEv3RMKL8ssHZ2nUfIwggISU7.1
