In this video, we explore the relationship between string theory and quantum field theory (QFT). QFT is a mathematical ...

Recent decades have witnessed remarkable progress in establishing rigorous mathematical frameworks for quantum field theory (QFT), conformal field theory (CFT), quantum gravity and string theory.

Physicists are exploring the idea that our universe may have more dimensions than the three of space and one of time we experience. String theory suggests these extra dimensions are essential for ...
