Twenty-seven years ago, a group of physicists made an accidental discovery that flipped mathematics on its head. The physicists were trying to work out the details of string theory when they observed ...

Caltech and Bonn, Max Planck Inst., Math. When combined with mirror symmetry, the A-model approach to quantization leads to a fairly simple and tractable problem. The most interesting part of the ...

We review an approach for computing non-perturbative, exact superpotentials for Type II strings compactified on Calabi-Yau manifolds, with extra fluxes and D-branes on top. The method is based on an ...

This project is a 3D human pose estimation system that uses mirror geometry to overcome the inherent depth ambiguity in monocular pose estimation. By simulating a second view through the reflection, ...

In the third century BCE, Apollonius of Perga asked how many circles one could draw that would touch three given circles at exactly one point each. It would take 1,800 years to prove the answer: eight ...

AlphaGeometry2, Deepmind's latest geometry-solving AI, solves 84% of International Mathematical Olympiad problems from 2000 to 2024, matching the performance of top math competition winners. The ...
