Moduli Space - in Physics

In Physics

For more details on this topic, see moduli (physics).

The term moduli space is sometimes used in physics to refer specifically the moduli space of vacuum expectation values of a set of scalar fields, or to the moduli space of possible string backgrounds.

Moduli spaces also appear in physics in cohomological field theory, where one can use Feynman path integrals to compute the intersection numbers of various algebraic moduli spaces.
