Kinematical Lie Algebras and Their Role in Physics

Explore the fundamental concepts of kinematical Lie algebras and their applications in theoretical physics through this 52-minute conference talk. Delve into the mathematical structures that describe symmetries in physical systems, examining how these algebraic frameworks provide essential tools for understanding motion and transformations in physics. Learn about the theoretical foundations of Lie algebras in the context of kinematics, their geometric interpretations, and their significance in modern theoretical physics research. Discover the connections between abstract mathematical concepts and physical phenomena, gaining insights into how these mathematical tools help describe and predict the behavior of physical systems. This presentation forms part of the Women at the Intersection of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics discussion meeting, designed to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and education across the boundaries of mathematics and theoretical physics.
