Introduction
It is now eleven years since the inception of M-theory. The goal of this workshop will be to review the status of M-theory and to stimulate new developments by bringing together experts in the fields.
Topics
- M-Branes
- Developments in 11-dimensional supergravity
- The role of M-theory loop diagrams in string theory
- Anomalies in M-theory
- Branes and their interactions- the M2, M5 system
- Geometries and dualities
- Non-abelian membranes and supersymmetry
- Formal aspects of quantisation in M-theory
- Noncommutative M-theory
- M-theory branes in black hole entropy counting
- Hidden symmetries in M-theory
