Hermann Nicolai (Albert Einstein Institut, Potsdam)
E10 for beginners
In these two lectures I will review some recent advances in our understanding of the hyperbolic Kac-Moody algebra E10 and its possible role in setting up a background independent formulation of M-theory. The lectures will thus cover both mathematical as well as physical aspects at an introductory level.
