Professor Philip Candelas FRS. Philip Candelas is an outstanding physicist and mathematician who is renowned for his work on string theory, black holes and other areas of theoretical physics. He focuses on the analysis of tiny structures that make up the world around us.
The field was reinvigorated in May 1991 when physicists Philip Candelas, Xenia de la Ossa, Paul Green, and Linda Parkes showed that mirror symmetry could be used to count the number of degree three curves on a quintic Calabi–Yau. Candelas and his collaborators found that these six-dimensional Calabi–Yau manifolds can contain exactly ...

Xenia de la Ossa is known for her contributions to mathematical physics with much of her work focusing on string theory and its interplay with algebraic geometry. In 1991, she coauthored "A pair of Calabi-Yau manifolds as an exactly soluble superconformal theory", [6] which contained remarkable predictions about the number of rational curves on ...
