Description
Calabi Yau (CY) manifolds are used ubiquitously in research on string theory. Since decades, these spaces have provided the main avenue to connect string theory with observable physics. A stumbling block in these constructions is the lack of an analytical expression for the CY metrics. In this talk I will review recent work on obtaining numerical approximations of CY metrics using machine learning, and the prospects such metrics may have in furthering string theory research.
