Description for Calabi-Yau Varieties and Mirror Symmetry
hardcover. The idea of mirror symmetry originated in physics, but the field has exploded onto the mathematical scene. It has inspired many developments in algebraic and arithmetic geometry, toric geometry, the theory of Riemann surfaces, and infinite-dimensional Lie algebras among others. This title contains articles that report on developments in the field. Editor(s): Yui, Noriko; Lewis, James D. Series: Fields Institute Communications. Num Pages: 367 pages, Illustrations. BIC Classification: PBMW. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 262 x 186 x 26. Weight in Grams: 858.
The idea of mirror symmetry originated in physics, but in recent years, the field of mirror symmetry has exploded onto the mathematical scene. It has inspired many new developments in algebraic and arithmetic geometry, toric geometry, the theory of Riemann surfaces, and infinite-dimensional Lie algebras among others. The developments in physics stimulated the interest of mathematicians in Calabi-Yau varieties. This led to the realization that the time is ripe for mathematicians, armed with many concrete examples and alerted by the mirror symmetry phenomenon, to focus on Calabi-Yau varieties and to test for these special varieties some of the great outstanding ...
