Modern physics began with a sweeping unification: in 1687 Isaac Newton showed that the disparate theories describing everything from planetary motion to tides to pendulums were all aspects of a ...

A bit over two years ago, news sources and science blogs lit up when a pre-print paper from Dr. A. Garrett Lisi came to light that proposed a novel theory of everything—one theory that accurately ...

Lie groups, as continuous groups endowed with differentiable structure, provide a powerful framework to study symmetries across mathematics and physics. Their associated representation theory offers ...

The notions of Poisson Lie group and Poisson homogeneous space are extended to the Dirac category. The theorem of Drinfeld on the one-to-one correspondence between Poisson homogeneous spaces of a ...

Modern physics began with a sweeping unification: in 1687 Isaac Newton showed that the existing jumble of disparate theories describing everything from planetary motion to tides to pendulums were all ...

The "exceptionally simple theory of everything," proposed by surfing physicist Garrett Lisi, does not hold water, according to some mathematicians. Centered on the elegant E8 structure, they use ...
