Cumrun Vafa’s research has involved essentially all these aspects. Together with his colleagues, he has worked on topological strings, trying to elucidate some new mathematics originating from string theory (notably in his work on mirror symmetry) and using these techniques to uncover some of the mysteries of black holes, particularly the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy.
14 de feb. de 2024 · Cumrun Vafa was born in Tehran, Iran on 1 August 1960. [1] He became interested in physics as a young child, specifically how the moon was not falling from the sky, and he later grew his interests in math by high school and was fascinated by how mathematics could predict the movement of objects.

7 de ago. de 2023 · Sobre Cumrun Vafa. Nacido en Irán en 1960, el profesor Vafa se trasladó a los Estados Unidos para su educación superior, donde obtuvo su licenciatura en matemáticas y física del MIT antes de trasladarse a la Universidad de Princeton, donde obtuvo su doctorado en física teórica.
Cumrun Vafa ist ein iranisch-amerikanischer Physiker und einer der führenden Stringtheoretiker.
29 de oct. de 2018 · Cumrun Vafa, un destacado teórico de cuerdas en la Universidad de Harvard, ha estado mapeando el «territorio pantanoso» prohibido de universos imposibles durante 13 años. Vafa y sus colegas sostienen que los universos con cantidades estables, constantes y positivas de energía de vacío, conocidas como «universos de Sitter», no son posibles.
11 de mar. de 2024 · Cumrun Vafa: Our work builds on the idea of duality in string theory, which states that under certain conditions, different physical descriptions can represent the same underlying theory. When we take a physical theory to extreme values, its usual description breaks down, revealing a "tower of light particles" with exponentially decreasing masses that essentially form the fundamental ...
5 de feb. de 1996 · We provide evidence for a more natural reformulation of type IIB theory in terms of F-theory. Compactification of M-theory on a manifold K which admits elliptic fibration is equivalent to compactification of F-theory on K ×S1. A large class of N = 1 theories in 6 dimensions are obtained by compactification of F-theory on Calabi-Yau threefolds.
