 Rota's 10 Lessons
At last I remembered an MIT colloquium that took place in the late fifties, it was one of the first colloquia I attended at MIT.
The speaker was Eugenio Calabi; in the audience, sitting in the front row, were Norbert Wiener, asleep as usual until the time came to applaud, and Dirk Struik, who had been one of Calabi's teachers when Calabi was an undergraduate in the forties.
Calabi obliged, and in the next five minutes he explained in beautifully simple terms the gist of his lecture.

Eugenio Calabi suspects that Nash, like himself, was marginally dyslexic.
But while Calabi regarded his own aversion to reading-especially dense, challenging material-as a weakness, Nash would defend not reading on the ground that mathematical activity would trump mathematical passivity in the long run.

Eugenio Calabi conjectures the existence of a Kähler manifold with a Ricci-flat metric with a vanishing first Chern class, and a given complex structure and Kähler class.
This is exciting because instantons can tell us about non-perturbative physics that is not approachable by other means of calculation.

 Math Awareness Month :: From Black Holes to Dark Energy: Cosmology in the 21st Century by Robert Osserman
In 1953, a young differential geometer, Eugenio Calabi, made a study of complex manifolds, and was led to conjecture that under very general conditions there should be a metric on each manifold of a particularly symmetric nature.
This Calabi conjecture was a subject of great interest, and was finally proved in 1977 by Shing-Tung Yau.
Although of considerable mathematical interest, the Calabi-Yau manifolds, as they came to be known, had no obvious connection to cosmology until the advent of string theory introduced a whole new dimension - or more precisely, set of dimensions - into play.

Nash walked into the seminar room in the middle of his talk and started ranting at a student named Al Vasquez because he'd discovered a photograph of himself on the cover of Life Magazine, thinly disguised as Pope John XXIII.

What works best is a type of manifold called a Calabi-Yau manifold, which is a Kahler manifold with vanishing first Chern class.
In 1954, Eugenio Calabi first theorized the possibility of such a thing.
In 1985, Candelas, Strominger, Horowitz, and Witten proposed that the extra dimensions required by string theory could be compactified on a Calabi-Yau manifold.

These forms are known as Calabi-Yau spaces, named after Eugenio Calabi and Shing-Tung Yau for their pre-string work with these geometrical shapes.

 Superstrings
If the sum over the histories of the world sheet is to be consistent, the six dimensions must be curled up in one of a few special ways.
They are said to form a kind of space called a Calabi-Yau space (after Eugenio Calabi of the University of Pennsylvania and Shing-Tung Yau of the University of California at San Diego); they may also form a generalnation of such a space called an orbifold.
These spaces lead to a promising scheme for explaining the physics of the four observable dimensions.

These two mathematicians said that within the common three extended dimensions (that we are familiar with) are additional dimensions in tightly curled structures.
One possible structure that could envelop six extra dimensions is the Calabi-Yau shape, which was created by Eugenio Calabi and Shing-Tung Yau.
This structure is much like a tightly wound ball that surrounds six dimensions.
