Why are we drawn to symmetry? Because it provides order in a seemingly chaotic world? Because our brains are the product of the very same laws that yield the flower, the snowflake and the solar system? Because evolution selects for structures with symmetry? In this Salon, we will ask an in

Alessandro Chiodo - Towards a global mirror symmetry (Part 1)
Mirror symmetry is a phenomenon which inspired fundamental progress in a wide range of disciplines in mathematics and physics in the last twenty years; we will review here a number of results going from the enumerative geometry of curves to homological algebra. These advances justify the i

The Predictive Power Of Symmetry
From a bee’s hexagonal honeycomb to the elliptical paths of planets, symmetry has long been recognized as a vital quality of nature. Einstein saw symmetry hidden in the fabric of space and time. The brilliant Emmy Noether proved that symmetry is the mathematical flower of deeply rooted phy
