String compactification refers to the process of reducing the ten or eleven dimensions intrinsic to string or M-theory down to the four dimensions of observable spacetime by assuming that the extra ...

Enumerative geometry and moduli theory address the classification and counting of geometric structures on algebraic varieties and the study of the spaces that parametrise them. Beginning with ...

Mathematicians have struggled to understand the moduli space of graphs. A new paper uses tools from physics to peek inside. “That’s a super hard problem. It’s amazing they were able to,” said Dan ...
