About Me
I am Yuta Agawa, an independent researcher based in Japan, specializing in mathematical physics. My work is driven by the conviction that the fundamental laws of physics are not merely described by mathematics, but are derivable from the first principles of geometric structures. In this lifelong pursuit, my indispensable partner is the concept of holonomy in differential geometry. While holonomy is already applied in diverse fields, my research treats it not as a conventional tool, but as the foundational key to unlocking a deeper, more unified understanding of our world.
Flowing from this conviction, the central thesis of my work is that holonomy provides the language and structure for a truly unifying framework. I posit that its principles, rooted in pure geometry, are foundational not just within physics, but across a broad spectrum of scientific inquiry, including the natural and information sciences. My research program is therefore dedicated to a singular goal: to demonstrate that a deep and rigorous understanding of holonomy allows us to derive, prove, and advance the most fundamental principles of the natural world from a geometric origin.
My approach, therefore, is foundational rather than interdisciplinary. It involves applying the core geometric principle of holonomy to diverse domains—from quantum field theory to the structure of spacetime itself—to uncover their unifying logic from first principles. As an independent researcher, pursuing such a fundamental line of inquiry presents unique challenges. To enhance the speed and precision of my work, I strategically leverage generative AI as a partner in developing and structuring complex ideas.
My research is also deeply informed by personal experience. A past encounter with schizophrenia and the ongoing management of related conditions have cultivated a unique perspective characterized by resilience, meticulous attention to detail, and unconventional thinking. My process involves extensive thought experiments—simulating phenomena in both dreams and waking visualizations, and engaging in deep philosophical inquiry—which provide diverse insights that enrich my scientific explorations.
The ultimate aim of my work is to formulate a genuine 'unified theory' derived from the first principles of geometry and founded on holonomy, distinct from existing paradigms. I place great importance on a holistic and foundational perspective, believing that truly breakthrough research must connect disparate fields through a coherent, underlying geometric principle. In this sense, my approach embraces a form of non-locality in thought—connecting seemingly distant concepts. While my contributions are theoretical, I aspire to make meaningful advances that lay a foundation for future progress.
Beyond the scientific objectives, my journey is a personal quest to understand what it truly means to be "I am that I am." It is my deepest hope that this pursuit, guided by emergent possibilities, shared empathy, and personal discovery, will be my greatest contribution.
