EAGER: CiC: A String Cartography

这个项目的重点是弦理论，统一粒子物理学与引力的领先候选人。该提案旨在通过应用代数几何来研究流形的拓扑不变量，并在粒子物理学和宇宙学中寻找这些数据与模型构建相关结构之间的相关性，来表征典型弦紧化的特征。这项研究引起了理论物理学家、数学家和计算机科学家跨学科社区的兴趣。 该项目的研究人员高度参与了NSF赞助的弦真空项目，这项研究的结果有望交叉施肥。用于计算代数几何的软件是公开的，该项目涉及几个算法的改进，可以纳入这些代码的未来版本。所有计算都将被移植和开发用于Microsoft Azure平台。该奖项对应于云计算竞赛，由数学和物理科学理事会多学科活动办公室共同资助。

This project focuses on string theory, a leading candidate for unifying particle physics with gravity. The proposal aims to characterize features of the typical string compactification by applying algebraic geometry to study topological invariants of manifolds and to search for correlations between these data and structures relevant to model building, both in particle physics and cosmology. This research is of interest to an interdisciplinary community of theoretical physicists, mathematicians and computer scientists. Researchers in this project are highly involved with the NSF-sponsored String Vacuum Project the results of this research are expected to cross-fertilize that endeavor. The software employed for computational algebraic geometry is publicly available, and the project involves several algorithmic improvements that can be incorporated into future versions of these codes. All computations are to be ported and developed for use in the Microsoft Azure platform.This award corresponds to the Computing in the Cloud competition and is co-funded by the Office of Multidisciplinary Activities of the Directorate of Mathematical and Physical Sciences.
