Description
This MITP program brings together mathematicians and theoretical physicists working at the interface of geometry and string theory. The focus will be on new developments in Calabi-Yau varieties and related supersymmetric backgrounds such as flux geometries and so-called non-geometries, as well as their applications to compactifications of string theory as models for particle physics and cosmology.
