One possible resolution of this 'vacuum degeneracy' problem is the 'fantasy' that the moduli space of string vacua is connected through the process of 'geometric transitions'. I will discuss some geometric problems associated to this fantasy and their applications.\n\n \n\nTo register: h ttp://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathematiques-quebec/#csmq\n\nWeb site : http://crm.umontreal.ca/colloque-sciences-mathematiques-quebec/#cs mq\n DTSTART:20211119T203000Z DTEND:20211119T213000Z SUMMARY:Tristan Collins (MIT) URL:/mathstat/channels/event/tristan-collins-mit-33466 2 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
