Edward Witten (born August 26, 1951) is an American theoretical physicist known for his contributions to string theory, topological quantum field theory...

Louis Witten (born April 13, 1921) is an American theoretical physicist and the father of the physicist Edward Witten. Witten's research has centered...

when Edward Witten suggested that the five theories were just special limiting cases of an eleven-dimensional theory called M-theory. Witten's conjecture...

physics that unifies all consistent versions of superstring theory. Edward Witten first conjectured the existence of such a theory at a string theory...

He has also been investigating (in particular, in a joint work with Edward Witten) connections between the geometric Langlands correspondence and dualities...

They are named after Mikhail Gromov and Edward Witten. The rigorous mathematical definition of Gromov–Witten invariants is lengthy and difficult, so it...

a Hořava–Witten domain wall, behaves as a boundary of the eleven-dimensional spacetime in M-theory. Proposed by Petr Hořava and Edward Witten, the theory...

3-dimensional topological quantum field theory of Schwarz type developed by Edward Witten. It was discovered first by mathematical physicist Albert Schwarz. It...

field theory named after Julius Wess, Bruno Zumino, Sergei Novikov and Edward Witten. A WZW model is associated to a Lie group (or supergroup), and its symmetry...

Seiberg–Witten invariants are invariants of compact smooth oriented 4-manifolds introduced by Edward Witten (1994), using the Seiberg–Witten theory studied...
