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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
