Abstract: 

Program:

  • What string theory is about? Bosonic string, one-loop modular invariance, D-branes, T-duality.
  • Superstring: GSO projection, type IIA and IIB string theories, D-branes.
  • Heterotic string.
  • Compactifications: geometric (SUGRA), non-geometric, matrix models.
  • Matrix models. [I. K.]
  • Type I string theory, orientifolds. [C. A.]
  • SUGRA, dualities. [C. A.]
  • AdS/CFT correspondence. [U. M.]
  • M-theory. [P. V.]
  • Instantons and the AdS/CFT correspondence. [P. V.]
