Eric Zaslow

Eric Zaslow was named Clay Senior Scholar at the Thematic Program on The Geometry of String Theory 2004 - 2005, a joint program of the Fields Institute and Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. He will spend November 2004 and two months in Spring 2005 in residence.

Physmatics, a public lecture by Clay Senior Scholar Eric Zaslow. Fields Institute, June 2, 2005.

Abstract. The interplay between mathematics and physics has, in recent years, become so profound that the lines have been blurred. The two disciplines, long complementary, have begun a deep and fundamental relationship. I call this blending "physmatics," and illustrate it with an example of duality from string theory. I then discuss the purely mathematical interpretation of this symmetry.
