Abstract |
In the first part of my talk I will discuss the notion of
relativity principle, kinematic algebras, the classification of Leblond and Bacry I will define
the Carroll group and its extensions. I will gave Applications to very
special Relativity String theory and the BMS algebras. In the second part I will discuss
plane gravitational waves and how the a subgroup of the Carroll group acts and how this can be used
illuminate the currently fashionable topics of gravitational memory and soft
gravitons. The talk is aimed at a general audience with a background in
Mathematical Physics. |
