Emergence of Calabi–Yau manifolds in high-precision black-hole scattering - Nature
A new, highest-precision analytical result for solving the gravitational two-body problem of black hole or neutron star scattering reveals the emergence of Calabi–Yau manifolds in the solution to the radiated energy in these encounters.

Today our foundational Worldline Quantum Field Theory paper inspirehep.net/literature/1... crossed the 250 cite threshold! Thanks to an inspiring work of Roberto & Maria inspirehep.net/literature/2... that very suitable shows that our LSZ reduction can also be done with generalized vertex operators.
