Space and Time From Translation Symmetry
Mathematical Physics Seminar| Speaker: | Albert Schwarz, UC Davis |

I would like to discuss various approaches to the construction of non-perturbative string theory. The knowledge of string theory is not required. I will start with with the explanation of ideas of my paper:
Space and time from translation symmetry
Albert Schwarz
We show that the notions of space and time in axiomatic quantum field theory arise from translation symmetry. We discuss a possibility of using this construction in string theory.
