Other geometers thought such shapes sounded too good to be true. Shing-Tung Yau was initially among the doubters. He first came across the Calabi conjecture in 1970, when he was a graduate student at ...

Little did they know that the name Yau would become immortalized in physics and mathematics as half of the Calabi-Yau manifolds, which are geometric shapes that provide mathematical insight into ...

The research reveals the surprising appearance of Calabi-Yau three-fold periods -- complex geometric structures from string theory and algebraic geometry -- within calculations of radiated energy ...

Read the paper: Emergence of Calabi–Yau manifolds in high-precision black-hole scattering A decade ago, the cosmos could be observed only with light, or occasionally with subatomic particles ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) will not replace humans as major innovations always come from the power of our minds, according to world-renowned mathematician Shing-Tung Yau, a winner of Hong Kong ...
