Number theory and theoretical physics

[narniaoff]

Hello dear forum member I wanted to know how about the research on this branch of science.Are many people working on or is it a very very small area because it is too difficult . Are researchers in this area seeking new maths in the short what is the general policy direction of their research

I find it hard to imagine any direct applications of number theory to physics.

ok thank you a lot for the answer but for example what kind of research consist on geometric langlands program and gauge theory
