.

Abstract: Our understanding of M-theory is based on a duality web connecting different limits of the theory. I'll discuss the extension of this duality web to a wide variety of decoupling limits related by duality to the null reduction of M-theory (and hence to the proposal that M-theory can be described by Matrix theory). From a modern perspective, these limits involve non-Lorentzian geometries. I'll discuss how to systematically explore these corners of M-theory, following the roadmap of https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.10564
