An episode of the podcast "About the Universe" (in Swedish) that mix humor and science, 31 January 2026.
That is why string theory is so appealing – despite its ten dimensions.
Program on the Science Radio, Swedish Radio, 11 September 2025.
This popular science radio programme was recorded on the occasion of the Eurostrings conference in Stockholm. Five researchers are interviewed, one of whom is Magdalena Larfors from Uppsala University, affiliated with the Centre for Geometry and Physics.

How can we understand mathematical knots of different dimensions?
Recorded digital seminar from 25 February 2025
In our three-dimensional world, knots come in many different forms, such as tangles in our cables, but also as the structure of our proteins. Knots also exist in higher dimensions. How can we understand knots using mathematics, and how can the mathematics behind knots drive research forward?
Inauguration of the centre
Article from Uppsala University from 25 January 2024.
On 24 January 2024, the Centre for Geometry and Physics was inaugurated at Uppsala University. Nikita Nekrasov, new honorary doctor at Uppsala University, was the keynote speaker.

Tobias Ekholm sees the power of geometry
Article from Uppsala University from 5 December 2023.
In January 2024 a centre of excellence in geometry and physics will open at Uppsala University. One of the people behind the initiative is Tobias Ekholm, Professor of Mathematics, who has long been active at the interface of mathematics and physics
What can mathematics reveal about the dimensions that surround us?
Recorded digital seminar from 24 October 2023.
All around us there are many unsolved problems - not least at the interface between maths and physics. For mathematician Tobias Ekholm, symplectic geometry can shed new light on the mysteries of the relationship between space and time. Join him on a mathematical journey through geometric figures in multiple dimensions in this episode of UppTalk.
