DESCRIPTION:[b]Speaker: ​Guglielmo Lockhart [/b](University of Bonn).\n\n[
 b]​Abstract: [/b]\nGeneral principles suggest that the spectrum of excita
 tions of quantum gravity theories includes not just pointlike particles\,
  but also higher-dimensional membranes. In this talk I will focus on a sp
 ecific class of one-dimensional membranes\, the faithful strings\, whose 
 properties can be described using the language of vertex operator algebra
 s. I will discuss how this mathematical structure encodes symmetries of q
 uantum gravity theories\, and makes it possible to determine refined info
 rmation like gauge group topology. Moreover\, I will show that modular in
 variance of the faithful string torus partition function is a powerful to
 ol to detect inconsistencies in a candidate quantum gravity theory\, or c
 onversely to identify apparently consistent quantum gravities and study t
 heir properties. This provides an exciting opportunity to study exotic qu
 antum gravity models that do not admit any known weakly coupled realizati
 on within string theory\, in supersymmetric as well as non-supersymmetric
  settings.
