\u201cManifolds with Special Holonomy and Applications\u201d<\/p>\n
Abstract: The talk will focus on manifolds with special holonomy, a class of spaces whose infinitesimal symmetries play a crucial role in M-theory compactifications. M-theory, often referred to as the \u201ctheory of everything,\u201d has emerged in recent decades as a leading candidate for unifying the four fundamental forces of nature: electromagnetism, gravity, and the weak and strong nuclear forces.<\/p>\n
We will begin with a brief introduction to Calabi-Yau and G\u2082 manifolds, followed by an overview of my recent research on the connections between symplectic, contact, and calibrated structures in these manifolds.<\/p>\n
