Explore the intricate relationship between mathematical frameworks and physical theories in discrete spacetime through this 59-minute conference talk delivered at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into how mathematical structures inform our understanding of spacetime discreteness and examine the bidirectional dialogue between pure mathematics and theoretical physics in this specialized field. Learn about the fundamental concepts that bridge these disciplines while gaining insights into cutting-edge research approaches that combine rigorous mathematical formalism with physical intuition. Discover how discrete spacetime models challenge traditional continuous spacetime concepts and understand the mathematical tools required to work with these alternative frameworks. This presentation forms part of the "Women at the Intersection of Mathematics and Theoretical Physics" discussion meeting, designed to foster cross-disciplinary collaboration and education in areas where mathematics and theoretical physics converge.
