This proposal is into the mathematics of the geometry underlying string theory. It has been suggested by Professor Witten of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton, that a 24-dim manifold would explain the remarkable association of the symmetries of the physical theory with some classical 19th. century mathematics. We try to construct such a manifold and provide a group action.

这个提议是在弦理论的几何基础上的数学。普林斯顿高等研究院的威腾教授提出，24暗淡的流形可以解释物理理论的对称性与某些经典19的显著联系。世纪的数学。我们试图构造这样一个流形，并提供一个群作用。
