Talk
String Theory and Geometry
Dr. Gottfried Curio
24 Apr 2007, 17:30 – 18:30
In this talk we will give examples for the tight connection between physical and geometrical reasoning in string theory. After a general introduction to the Standard Model of Particle Physics we describe parts of the physics/mathematics dictionary that evolves by embedding particle physics into string theory. Then we outline the "2. Superstring revolution" of the 90's and
describe some investigations in the framework of string dualities. Finally examples of specific string models - some of them related to phenomenology - are constructed and an outlook on the connection
of string theory and mathematics is given.
