Book DetailsAMS/IP Studies in Advanced MathematicsVolume: 38; 2006; 576 ppMSC: Primary 14; 11; 32; 81
Since its discovery in the early 1990s, mirror symmetry, or more generally, string theory, has exploded onto the mathematical landscape. This topic touches upon many branches of mathematics and mathematical physics, and has revealed deep connections between subjects previously considered unrelated. The papers in this volume treat mirror symmetry from the perspectives of both mathematics and physics. The articles can be roughly grouped into four sub-categories within the topic of mirror symmetry: arithmetic aspects, geometric aspects, differential geometric and mathematical physics aspects, and geometric analytic aspects. In these works, the reader will find mathematics addressing, and in some cases solving, problems inspired and influenced by string theory.
Titles in this series are co-published with International Press of Boston, Inc., Cambridge, MA.
ReadershipGraduate students and research mathematicians interested in theoretical physics and mathematical areas such as geometry and modular forms.
