ITMP Seminar "Localising Romans Supergravity"

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce that the first ITMP seminar of the 2025 will be held on Wednesday, Jan 29, 18:00 (Moscow time). It will be organised via Zoom.

Speaker: Dr. Christopher Couzens, University of Oxford

Title: Localising Romans Supergravity

Abstract: In this talk I will discuss how Equivariant Localization can be used to compute observables in supergravity without the need to solve the equations of motion. We will use 6d Romans supergravity as our test case and show that the on-shell action is almost completely determined in terms of topological data. This allows us to recover known results in the literature and to make predictions for hitherto unknown solutions.
