Most of these dimensions are imperceptible, tightly curled into complex and conceptually beautiful geometric shapes known as Calabi–Yau manifolds. Though hidden, they are not trivial ...

Whether it's a puddle under your car or a grimy mess inside your engine bay, finding engine oil where it's not supposed to be is never an enjoyable experience. Normally, oil remains contained ...

From Chern–Simons theory to topological quantum field theory, from knot invariants to Calabi–Yau compactification in string theory, from spacetime topology in cosmology to the recent Nobel Prize ...

Yau is celebrated for solving the Calabi conjecture that plagued the mathematics community for many years, and for contributing to the positive mass theorem, which is part of general relativity.

The juxtaposition of "machine learning" and "pure mathematics and theoretical physics" may first appear as contradictory in terms. The rigours of proofs and derivations in the latter seem to reside in ...
