String theory provides a powerful framework for geometrising subtle questions in quantum field theory. Once geometrised, these questions can then be answered using tools in algebraic topology and algebraic geometry. This project will apply this philosophy to the study of categorical symmetries: a far-reaching generalisation of the idea of symmetry which is the focus of much current research.

弦理论为量子场论中微妙问题的几何化提供了强大的框架。一旦几何化，这些问题就可以使用代数拓扑和代数几何中的工具来回答。该项目将把这一哲学应用于范畴对称性的研究：对称性概念的深远概括，这是当前许多研究的焦点。
