Is this a coincidence?

Summary:: The Poincaré group and M-theory both have 10 dimensions

Is this a coincidence?

Yes. And there isn't even a defined single dimension for an M-theory, since there are several different concepts unified in M-theory. In any case, M-theory generalizes string theories, which involve super Lie algebras. The Poincaré group has a classical Lie algebra and moreover isn't semisimple.

Well, it depends on what you're referring to as a coincidence. Can you provide more context or information? Without more details, it's difficult to say whether or not something is a coincidence.
