Jason Lotay explains how mathematicians studying special geometries are collaborating with physicists to explore M-theory, an 11-dimensional description of the world that unifies the various string ...

Algebraic Geometry and Representation Theory have long served as twin pillars in modern mathematics, offering deep insights into the structural properties of algebraic varieties and symmetries ...

AdS/CFT suggests that our three-dimensional universe can be modeled by a two-dimensional surface. AdS (Anti-de Sitter space) ...

The geometry of space, the setting in which physical laws operate, may hold clues to some of the biggest unanswered questions in fundamental physics. The underlying structure of spacetime itself could ...

One of the first collaborations Xinyi Yuan and Wei Zhang ever undertook was a trip to the Social Security office. It was the fall of 2004 and the two of them were promising young graduate students in ...

A new theory aims to explain how the complex vertebrate body, with its skeleton, muscles, nervous and cardiovascular systems, arises from a single cell during development and how these systems evolved ...
