In conversation about UNIVERSE+

Описание: We celebrated the highly successful start to the ERC Synergy project “UNIVERSE+ Positive Geometry in Particle Physics and Cosmology”. In this video interview, the project leaders, Johannes Henn from the Max Planck Institute for Physics in Munich, Daniel Baumann from the University of Amsterdam, and our director Bernd Sturmfels, share profound insights into the project’s objectives as well as their personal motivation to create a new mathematical language to describe physical phenomena on all scales.

Discover the very positive about positive geometry!
