Geometric methods underpin much of modern string and field theory, offering a unifying language to describe the rich tapestry of spacetime, gauge symmetries and dualities. Classical differential ...

The theory of strings predicts that the universe might occupy one random "valley" out of a virtually infinite selection of valleys in a vast landscape of possibilities According to Albert Einstein's ...

In The Shape of Inner Space, Shing-Tung Yau and Steve Nadis fight string theory’s corner by explaining multidimensional geometry HERE’S a sentence you don’t read every day: “‘My pleasure,’ she ...

Years ago, an audacious Fields medalist outlined a sweeping program that, he claimed, could be used to resolve a major problem in algebraic geometry. Other mathematicians had their doubts. Now he says ...
