Yau spent the next three years proving the existence of the class of manifolds Calabi had originally proposed. On Christmas Day in 1976, Yau met with Calabi and another mathematician, who confirmed ...

One of the first remarkable things that mathematician Shing-Tung Yau reveals in his memoir, The Shape of a Life, is that his name was not originally Yau. His family fled China to British-ruled ...

The simplest such arrangements are intricate 6D shapes called Calabi-Yau manifolds — the objects that resemble loofahs. Named after the late Eugenio Calabi, the mathematician who conjectured their ...

and Professor Albrecht Klemm (University of Bonn), leading experts on Calabi-Yau manifolds. The project received key funding through Professor Plefka's ERC Advanced Grant GraWFTy, the RTG 2575 ...

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 ...

Designer Bahareh Ardakani debuted a line of truly remarkable pieces inspired by string theory, specifically the Calabi-Yau manifold at Paris' fashion week last month. The results are incredible ...
