The arc space of an algebraic variety is a non-archimedean analogue of the path space of a manifold. It comes with an integration theory, which can be used to describe the geometry of the underlying variety.
This point of view was pioneered by Batyrev in the 90’s, who proved that birational Calabi-Yau varieties have the same Betti numbers. I will present an overview of how one can apply these ideas in a variety of situations, all of which having some relation to theoretical physics, in particular string theory.
