SUMMARY:Symmetry groups in infinite dimensions
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium \nSpeaker: Lisa Carbone\, Rutgers University \nTitle: Symmetry groups in infinite dimensions \nAbstract: The study of many physical theories requires an understanding of symmetries of infinite dimensional Lie algebras. The construction of groups of automorphisms for infinite dimensional Lie algebras is challenging\, but there is well established theory for the class of Kac-Moody algebras. A generalization of Kac-Moody algebras known as Borcherds algebras arise in string theory models\, but the methods for constructing Kac-Moody groups break down for this more general class. We discuss the challenges that arise and describe several approaches to constructing groups for Borcherds algebras. Our main example is the Monster Lie algebra which plays an important role in the solution of Monstrous Moonshine and which is a symmetry algebra of a model of the compactified Heterotic String.
