Abstract

In this talk, the speaker will discuss an exotic theory of gravity known as “partially massless” gravity. The linear partially massless theory displays many features analogous to those of electromagnetism, including an electric/magnetic duality. However, the structure of gauge charges is much richer than in E&M. She will present the analogues of electric point charges and Dirac monopoles.

The seminar is free and open to all. Seating is on a first-come, first-served basis.
