Can anyone explain to me what is string theory mathematically?

I read somewhere that the mathematical proving behind it is very logical that's why I'm asking for a mathematical explanation.
Sure. After all, string theory is a mathematical framework. But that is different from the OP's question of whether string theory can be somehow shown to be correct via mathematical proof. The two main problems with this: 1) it's a physical theory and so it must be subject to experimental verification and 2) as Marcus has mentioned, the core principles of the theory are unknown.sashickman said:Can't perturbative string theory be explained mathematically?
String theory is a theoretical framework in physics that describes the fundamental nature of particles as tiny strings instead of point particles. It aims to reconcile Einstein's theory of general relativity with quantum mechanics and unify all the fundamental forces of nature.
String theory is heavily reliant on mathematics, specifically advanced concepts in geometry and algebra. The theory uses mathematical equations and models to describe the behavior of strings and their interactions with each other.
The mathematical representation of string theory is complex and involves many advanced mathematical concepts such as differential geometry, topology, and group theory. The theory is often described using equations from quantum field theory and general relativity, which are combined to form a consistent mathematical framework.
String theory is still a highly debated and speculative theory, and there is currently no experimental evidence to support it. However, some mathematical predictions of the theory, such as the existence of extra dimensions and supersymmetry, have gained some support from experiments conducted at the Large Hadron Collider.
No, there are other theories, such as loop quantum gravity, that also attempt to unify the fundamental forces of nature. However, string theory is currently the most popular and well-known candidate for a theory of everything, despite its lack of experimental evidence.
