Multiple Strings from Multiple M-branes
Lead Research Organisation:
King's College London
Department Name: Mathematics
Abstract
The thesis will examine how perturbative theories of multiple strings can be obtained from compactification of M-branes in M-theory. The primary example will be the reduction of M2-branes on S1 to fundamental strings. However the thesis may also look at how various non-abelian theories of multiple branes in string theory arise from the reduction of M5-branes.

| Results and Impact | Visiting a secondary school to talk to current A-Level Physics students (approximately 30 each year) about interesting topics in physics, including my research, and the benefits of pursuing a degree and career in the the field. I also spent time talking to students in earlier years with a particular interest in physics, encouraging this and sparking thinking, questions and discussion around Physics. Following the visit, feedback from the teachers was very positive with pupils' interest in related subjects having increased. |
