DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/VCUcolloq/9/
 ">The Geometry of String Compactifications</a>\nby Lara Anderson (Virginia
  Tech) as part of VCU Mathematics and Applied Mathematics Colloquium Serie
 s\n\n\nAbstract\nI will outline the rich interplay between geometry and ph
 ysics in string compactifications. In particular\, I will highlight connec
 tions between efforts to classify gauge and gravitational theories in dive
 rse dimensions with progress in the Minimal Model Program and bounding/cha
 racterizing manifolds of SU(3) structure and Mumford stable holomorphic bu
 ndles over them. A key tool in this progress is the notion of topology-cha
 nging geometric transitions which arise naturally in string theory.\n
