The hidden geometry of space-time
Professor Shamit Kachru,
Stanford University
String theories predict extra dimensions of space-time. In this talk, we discuss — in an elementary and accessible way — some of the remarkable physics and mathematics that has emerged from studying the geometry of the hidden dimensions in simple models. Our focus is on examples where understanding new physical phenomena in string theory allows one to obtain striking results in modern mathematics.
