  2. Mirror symmetry (string theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_symmetry_(string...

    For such theories, mirror symmetry is a useful computational tool. [43] Indeed, mirror symmetry can be used to perform calculations in an important gauge theory in four spacetime dimensions that was studied by Nathan Seiberg and Edward Witten and is also familiar in mathematics in the context of Donaldson invariants. [44]

  3. Floer homology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floer_homology

    The homological mirror symmetry conjecture of Maxim Kontsevich predicts an equality between the Lagrangian Floer homology of Lagrangians in a Calabi–Yau manifold and the Ext groups of coherent sheaves on the mirror Calabi–Yau manifold. In this situation, one should not focus on the Floer homology groups but on the Floer chain groups.

  4. Homological mirror symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homological_mirror_symmetry

    Mirror symmetry not only replaces the homological dimensions but also the symplectic structure and complex structure on the mirror pairs. That is the origin of homological mirror symmetry. In 1990-1991, Candelas et al. 1991 had a major impact not only on enumerative algebraic geometry but on the whole mathematics and motivated Kontsevich (1994).

  5. SYZ conjecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SYZ_conjecture

    Along with the homological mirror symmetry conjecture, it is one of the most explored tools applied to understand mirror symmetry in mathematical terms. While the homological mirror symmetry is based on homological algebra, the SYZ conjecture is a geometrical realization of mirror symmetry.

  6. Calabi–Yau manifold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabi–Yau_manifold

    One of these is related to the original quintic by mirror symmetry. For every positive integer n , the zero set , in the homogeneous coordinates of the complex projective space CP n +1 , of a non-singular homogeneous degree n + 2 polynomial in n + 2 variables is a compact Calabi–Yau n -fold.

  7. AGT correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGT_correspondence

    In theoretical physics, the AGT correspondence is a relationship between Liouville field theory on a punctured Riemann surface and a certain four-dimensional SU(2) gauge theory obtained by compactifying the 6D (2,0) superconformal field theory on the surface.

  8. Topological string theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topological_string_theory

    The fundamental strings of string theory are two-dimensional surfaces. A quantum field theory known as the N = (1,1) sigma model is defined on each surface. This theory consist of maps from the surface to a supermanifold. Physically the supermanifold is interpreted as spacetime and each map is interpreted as the embedding of the string in ...

  9. Vestibular system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vestibular_system

    Together with the cochlea, a part of the auditory system, it constitutes the labyrinth of the inner ear in most mammals. As movements consist of rotations and translations, the vestibular system comprises two components: the semicircular canals, which indicate rotational movements; and the otoliths, which indicate linear accelerations.
