Calabi–Yau manifold
Videos
In algebraic and differential geometry, a Calabi–Yau manifold, also known as a Calabi–Yau space, is a particular type of manifold which has certain properties, such as Ricci flatness, yielding applica

Calabi–Yau manifold
…take the form of a 6-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifold, which led to the idea of mirror symmetry. Their name was coined by Candelas et al. (1985), after Eugenio Calabi (1954, 1957), who first conjectured that compact complex manifolds of Kähler type with vanishing first Chern class always admit Ricci-flat Kähler…
