Abstract

Calabi-Yau geometries have been at the fruitful intersection between pure mathematics and theoretical physics. Over the last 8 years, they have also provided a rich playground for AI-driven explorations in scientific discovery, inspiring approaches to problems that arise in diverse areas ranging from field theory, to algebraic geometry, to number theory. 

We give an overview of this progress, with a perspective on how AI will be transformative in the mathematical sciences in three intertwined directions.
