Indian physicist accidentally discovers new formula for pi while researching string theory This article, originally posted in Japanese on 17:00 Jun 19, 2024, may contains some machine-translated ...

Unlike perturbation theory, matrix models can be numerically simulated on computers, getting around some of the notorious difficulty of string-theory calculations. Although the matrices would have to ...

Roughly speaking, he says, a mathematical formula that describes how the guitar string vibrates is what a string-theory formula would look like. The theory had immediate appeal.

In a quantum theory of point particles, a fundamental quantity is the correlation function, which measures the probability for a particle to propagate from one point to another.

For specific applications of the L-function they describe, they found that their results correspond to another specific result from string theory.

String theory strutted onto the scene some 30 years ago as perfection itself, a promise of elegant simplicity that would solve knotty problems in fundamental physics—including the notoriously ...
