Description
This talk will focus on new developments and the structure of M-theory explored in the non-relativistic limit. As an example, I reveal the new structure of a non-relativistic M5-brane propagating in an eleven-dimensional non-Lorentzian supergravity background, and its compactification on a novel, anisotropic torus, which realizes the manifest SL(2, Z)-invariant D3-brane’s intricate structure in type IIB non-relativistic superstring theory. These new developments in this non-relativistic limit of M-theory are foundational to realizing its U-duality symmetry from higher dimensional anisotropic toroidal compactifications and Matrix theory.
