Pure mathematics and theoretical physics have a long history of mutual influence and cross-pollination. In recent times, many exciting developments have to do with the effort to better understand quantum field theory. From the physicist's perspective...

Until quite recently, many points of connection between mathematics and theoretical physics focused on so-called "twists" of supersymmetric field theories. Such twists are holomorphic or topological field theories that are amenable to rigorous...
