This is a proceedings volume from the String-Math conference which took place at the University of Warsaw in 2022.This 12th String-Math conference focused on several research areas actively developing these days. They included generalized (categorical) symmetries in quantum field theory and their relation to topological phases of matter; formal aspects of quantum field theory, in particular twisted holography; various developments in supersymmetric gauge theories, BPS counting and Donaldson-Thomas invariants. Other topics discussed at this conference included new advances in Gromov-Witten theory, curve counting, and Calabi-Yau manifolds. Another broad topic concerned algebraic aspects of conformal field theory, vertex operator algebras, and quantum groups. Furthermore, several other recent developments were presented during the conference, such as understanding the role of operator algebras in the presence of gravity, derivation of gauge-string duality, complexity of black holes, or mathematical aspects of the amplituhedron. This proceedings volume contains articles summarizing 14 conference lectures, devoted to the above topics.

Jeder der 22 Beiträge dieses Buches ist von einer anderen Mathematikerin (Professorin oder Juniorprofessorin) verfasst und beschreibt einen Aspekt eines spannenden Forschungsgebietes. Das Buch vermittelt eindrucksvoll den Facettenreichtum der modernen Mathematik, indem es dazu einlädt, sich von der Faszination der Mathematikerinnen für ihre Spezialgebiete anstecken zu lassen. Aktuelle und offene mathematische Probleme werden anschaulich und für ein breites Publikum verständlich dargestellt.
